Jones, Of this city, the great grandson
of Boone, and father Of Ian Jones of
this city. Mr.. Jones who is eighty
eight years old and has a very active
mind, spoke Of incidents surrounding
the burial place Of Boone and his
wife only as one can who rs intimate

Boone's physician during his declin-
ing years and was the source Of much
of the information we have concern

an Bryant to John S. Wyatt who
placed the marker over the spot 1e
years after Boone died. A body was
removed from this marked mound
and placed in the Frankfort, Ky Gem
etery in 1S4S. But still doubters, ant

body was never taken to Frankfort.

Charges Not Personal.


Prosecuting Attorney Peters de-
clared his charge against the Auditor
was not of personal nature, but was
aimed at practice not found in law,
and he said that he had instituted the
suit to stop the practice. He contend
ed that Auditor Gordon had no right
to assume that because the practice
had been followed by others it was
legal, and he expected the jury to bear
him out in his views.
A demurrer filed by Gordon's at
torneys, in which it was alleged that
no law had been violated and there
was nothing in consequence upon
which TO base a criminal prosecution,
was overruled by Judge Slate.
The prosecution was represented by
Mr.. Peters, who was assisted by
former Prosecuting Attorney Dudley
Calfee. Gordon was defended by W

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Garden of Allah"

When "The Garden of Allah" that gorgeous dramatic spectacle comes to the Jefferson theatre Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with a matinee Saturday, it will mark a notable advance in stage rroduction.
 Stage pictures and personages of the orient, spectacles for the eye and incl dents to hold in the memory a back ground of pageant and atmosphere and a foreground given over to a noble and moving story of faith and love and sacrifice this, in brief, is "The Garden of Allah" the stage version of Robert Hitch ems greatest novel, which was dranatized by MT. Kitchens himself assisted by Mary Anderson de Navarro.
 It is in reality a staging of that novel rather than a mere "dramatiza- tion." Some novels may be dramatized but "The Garden of Allah had to be staged. The stage version of "The Garden of Allah" is framed so as to convey all the atmosphere of that far-away land. with it's lonely wastes of sand, in con trast to the scenes of tropical splendor. The wildness of the great sandstorm scene in this production, in which real sand is utilized, is one of the greatest and most fascinating stage effects of modern times
