NOBLE SERVICE IN THE
MASTERS CAUSE ENDED
Rev. Joseph II. Hopper Dies at Per-
ryville After Bringing Over 5000
Souls to Christ by His Efforts

A long and useful career spent in
the service ofthe Master ended when
Rev. Joseph H. Hopper, known all ov-
er Kentucky as 'Uncle Joe," died at
Perryville at late hour Sunday af-
ternoon. Joining the Presbyterian
church when child, he was ordained
a deacon at Is and for nearly half
century his work as a layman for his
church and his fellow man was felt.
When 81 years old he was ordained
as a preacher and since that time he
has seen close to 5000 souls brought
to Christ under his clear and forceful
presentation of gospel truths. "Uncle
Joe" was a born evangelist and for
that reason he never held pastorate.
He preached in nearly every church
and many school-houses of his native
State, but seldom left the confines of
Kentucky to preach. He was one of
the very few men who were ordained
a minister without going through the
seminary.
Mr.. Hopper was IS years old and
was a half brother of Mrs. Matte
Withers, of this city, and Mr.. George
ID. Hopper, who died less than two
years ago. He was a son of Joseph
Hopper, who came to Kentucky from
the mother State in his youth and To-
Gated at Lancaster, where Rev. Hop
per was born. For many years he had
resided at Perryville, where he was
known and loved by all. His early
work was in the Sunday School and
his efforts in that line live after him.
He had a remarkably sweet voice and
this was most helpful to him in Sun
day School as well as his evangelistic
work. He was a grand old man and
not only his church, but his communi-
ty has sutained an irreparable loss in
his passing away. The sweet messages
that he brought to many sin-sick
souls made gladness and sunshine
where there was gloom and those who
made the confession under his preach
ing are saddened by the thought that
he is no more. May his reward be
commensurate with his good deeds
done here.
The funeral was held at Perryville
this morning at 1890 o'clock and
was conducted by DR.. David NJ.
Sweets, editor of the Christian OBJ
server, assisted by number of Pres
byterian ministers.
Mrs. Hopper died seven years ago,
but the following children survive:
Mrs. F. r. Montgomery, of Louisville;
Mrs. w. w. Bruce, and Mrs. Fannie
Tucker, of Perryville; j. Howerton
Hopper, of Springfield; and DR.. W.
o. Hopper and Harvey Hopper, of
Perryville.
The golden anniversary celebration
of the marriage of Rev. and Mrs.
Hopper some eight years ago is well
and pleasantly remembered by the
many who were fortunately to be
present.
Mesdames Withers and Kate Hop
per, of this city attended the burial.

Gooch Announces. for Representative

Announcement is made in today's
issue of the l. j. by w. G. Gooch, of
his candidacy for Representative in
the Legislature from Lincoln county
subject to the democratic primary on
August 7th. Mr.. Gooch is one of the
leading farmers of the county. He
has never asked for Office before but
has always been found working for
democratic success, and has a host
of friends all over the county who
will take off their coats for him. He
announces the platform upon which
he will make the race in another col
umn, the keynote of which is economy
in conduct of the states affairs. So
far no other candidate has announced
for this office, though Herbert Rey-
nOlds, of Waynesburg, has been men
toned as possible candidate. 1t is
understood that he has not yet made
up his mind what he will do about
the matter however.

KILLS FREIGHT CAR RoBBER
Detective J. E. Wallin, of Q. & c. Re.
turns Fire When Shot At

Queen & Crescent Detective ]. E.
Wallin, formerly of Lincoln county,
one of the best and most fearless of
ficers in the state, was compelled to
kill Walter Grimes, young white
man, % years of age near High
Bridge late last week. Detective Wal
lin is stationed at Danville, and the
Advocate of that city tells the fol-
lowing story of the affair:
During the past month thirty
freight cars have been broken into at
the siding beyond High Bridge where
freight trains and passenger trains
meet. In the past week three cars
have been robbed. Freight trains take
the siding to wait for passenger trains
to pass. While the trains wait at night
they are robbed. Detective Wallin of
patched to the scene and laid in wait
when freight pulled into the siding
to let the Blue Grass Special pass.
Wallin was assisted by the crew on
the freight train in keeping look
out. The train had hardly stopped
when two men broke into the car
and began taking out goods. They
were let alone until they had unload
ed a considerable quantity Of freight
when Detective Wallin moved to a
point near the men and demanded
that they throw up their hands and
surrender. No sooner that Wallin
had spoken the words the man near
est to him responded with a pistol
shot, the bullet grazing Wallin's
head. Wallin returned the fire and
hit the man squarely in the head. He.
dropped to the ground and died in
stantly. An investigation proved that
the dead man was Walter Grimes,
who lived in the vicinity of the trag.
edy. Detective Wallin had remark
ably narrow escape. The man who
was with Grimes escaped. Mr.. Wallin
came to Danville and telephoned to
the sheriff at Nicholasville and told
him of the circumstances of the kill
ing and surrendered. He went to-Nich
olasville Friday, where the inquest
and examining trial was held. Mr..
Wallin was entirely justified in kill
ink Grimes, judging by what residents
of High Bridge say, as well as others
who witnessed the tragedy. Robbery
has been heavy around High Bridge
recently and it is thought that it will
now be broken up.
The examining trial of Mr.. Wallin
will be held at Nicholasville next
Thursday morning.
