Death Of Miss Lucille Taylor.

Not only the people of Hartford,
where she was in school several
years, nor those of McHenry, where
she was employed as teacher; nor
only the citizens cs Beaver Dam and
Liberty, but all, all of this part OF
the county was shocked when the
news of the death of Miss Lucille Tay-
lor reached here Monday morning.
Many have passed their active years
of life and are now waiting patient.
ly for the end. That one of these
could not answer the call for one 50
young, so attractive and so lovely
seems a pity, indeed.
About two weeks ago Miss Taylor
had an attack of appendicitis which
appeared so serious that she was TAX
en- from McHenry to Louisville
hospital for an operation. The oper-
alton was made but the physicians
encouraged little hope for her re-
covery. However, she improved for
several days and it was thought. had
a good chance to recover when the
end came Monday morning at s o.
clock. Upon the patients request the
nurse had gone for glass of water
and upon her return found that the
young lady was dead.
The remains were brought to
Beaver Dam and rested Monday
night at the home of Mr.. Horace
Taylor with whom Lucille had made
her home since the death Of her
parents several years ago. Funeral
and burial were held at Liberty
Tuesday at 11:00 o'clock. Revs. Rus

Many friends from McHenry,
Beaver Dam, Hartford and other
places attended the funeral and with
sad hearts were conscious of their
loss.

Muhlenberg Gases Being
Tried in Simpson.
Number Of Witnesses Testify and
Retell Stories Of Law
lessness.

Franklin. KY, March 3.-The
case of the alleged 'possum hunters
which by change of venue was trans
ferred from Muhlenberg to Simpson
county was called at 1880 o'clock
this morning. No trouble is antici-
pated in Franklin and all is quiet
regardless of the rumors afloat that
the hardware merchants here have
for the last few days been doing a
lucrative business in their ammuni-
tion department, cartridges for rifles
being much in demand.
| When the acse was called both
the defense and Commonwealth an
nounced ready for trial. A jury con-
sisting of armers was impaneled this
morning. They are Jay Lewis, M.
C. Flemming, Charles Smith, Paul
Williams. J. d. Dinning, ]. H. Duff
fer. Vol Bunch, M. E. Arnold, B. s.

bury and John Ray.

Attorney; w. H. Gray, county attor-
ney of Muhlenberg: Thomas Sparks,

place. The defnse is represented by

afternon were Robert Wyckliffe,

ed to be members of the "possum
hunters" and Robert. John and By

According to testimony given by
an alleged "possum hunter" J. B.
Cox received a warning that his store
would be visited on the night of July
IS, 1914. The warning is alleged to
have come from a man who was
forced to join the "possum hunters. ="
Cox armed himself and hid in the
back yard of his store. When the
raiders arrived they broke open a
window and exploded a dynamite
bomb inside. tearing hole in the
floor. Cox opened fire upon the party
and they. in turn, shot and wounded
him. The five men on trial were also
wounded, Drs. Benton and Slay-
ton attended them. Bradley NAL
lory. the clerk. upon hearing the
melee took refuge between a couple
of mattresses in an upstairs room in
the store. John Rose and Phil Mil
ler testified that "possum hunters"
were discussed at meetings of organ
ized lodges in Muhlenberg county.

May Send Japanese Army to Europe.
Yokohama. March 3.-The project
of sending japanese army to Eu-
rope is to be pushed still further by
those who have proposed the idea. A
mass meeting was held here on Feb
ruary 4, and largely attended by
those who cheered the chauvinistic
speeches. The following resolution
was adopted:
"The association advocating the
dispatch OF japanese troops to Eu-
rope pledges itself to do its best to
induce the Imperial Government to
arrange with the Governments of
Great Britain. Russia and France.
the terms on which japanese troops
are to be dispatched to Europe. in
compliance with their desire. With
this end in view the present associa-
tion will try to create public opinion
on the subject"
Shuroku Kuroiwa. editor of the
Yorodzu. a newspaper which has
been active in support of the plan of
sending troops to Europe, declared
in a speech at the meeting that il the
present war should end in victory for
the Germans. the future of Japan
would be in danger. He held 1t was
most important that japan should do
all in its power to avert such an is
sue. He also said II the Allies were
victorious their influence would ne
cessarily extend to the east and an al
lance with these Powers would be
necessary. Under these circum-
stances he believed Japan would do
well to render assistance at the pres
ent time.
He spoke of q third possibility,
namely that II the war should be q
long one. to the exhaustion of the
belligerent Powers. It would be inev-
table that the United States would
gain the ascendancy, in which event
he thought pressure would be
brought to bear upon japan by the
United States.
Korehiro Kurahara. a member of
Parliament, also spoke. He asked
why the Japanese people acted as IL
the war were brought to an end with
the fall of Tsingtau. The present.
he said. was a most critical period
for Japan. and 1t was the duty of the
nation to give full play to the Yama-
to spirit characteristic of the Japan
ese people and to dispatch troops to
Europe without delay.
