SECOND NOTICE OF
IMPENDING DEATH
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Bowling Green, KY, Feb. 1--WE
hate to kill him, but we will" was the
concluding sentence of q notice found
posted today threatening County
Judge H. II. Denhardt, and destruction
of Bowling Green by fire and explo-
sives.
The notice was the second within
two weeks promising punishment for
Judge Denhardt unless he was instru-
mental in freeing Thomas Burns, a
wrestler, OF Ironton, Pa, and Clarence
Stem OF Springfield, Tenn, awaiting
trial on charge of highway robbery
The warning today was found on the
approach to a wooden bridge spanning
the Barren river. The bridge itself
was saturated with kerosene and de-
stroyed by fire early today.
The first warning was regarded as
a hoax but In statement today, au-
thorities said they were convinced the
situation was serious. Judge Bernhard
ordered an investigation.

U.S.S. WORDEN|S
FURNISHED WITH
SUPPLY OF COAL
NAVAL VESSEL WAS STEAMED
TO BERTH UNDER THE COAL
cHUTES YESTERDAY AND WAS
LOADED WITH ONE HUNDRED
TONS.

One hundred tons of choice bunker
coal were shunted into bunker COM
partments of the torpedo boat destroy
err Worden, at Muscogee wharf, yes
terday, the naval vessel finishing load
ing this amount at o'clock and i'm
mediately casting off lines, went down
the bay to the navy yard, taking up her
usual station in the midst of the sub
marine fleet, now moored there.
This was one of the first naval ves-
sells to have ever moored at the coal
chutes, although fuel has been fur
nished from there via barge to other
naval vessels. While the Montgomery
was here, practically all the coal used
by that cruiser was loaded on barges
and thence towed down to the side of
the naval ship and loaded into her
bunkers. The same proceedings was
carried out in supplying coal to the
German cruiser Bremen, which OBJ
tanned a supply here some years since.
Government vessels are supplied al
most every week from the chutes, but
the Worden's visit there was said to
have been the first time naval YES
sci ever moored there and received
coal through the chutes, direct from
cars to the vessels bunkers.
The feat is in some respects re-
markable, from the fact that this was
the fifth naval vessel thus far sup
piled with fuel from the city docks.
Isalr of the submarines were sup
piled with fuel oil couple of days
ago at Central wharf
