Sentences Cut Short
When Officials Remit Their Parts of
Fines Against Women

Mrs. J. E. Johnson and Mrs. Mary
Tyree, of the Waynesburg section,
finished their seven days term in the
county Jail here, for refusing to send
their children to school, Saturday and
were released on Saturday by Jailer
DeBorde. Both women were profuse
in their praise of the treatment ac-
corded them by the popular jailer
and his wife while they were in his
charge. Their stay was cut a little
short by the generosity of several of
the county officials, who agreed to
remit the part of the costs which
would have accrued to them as fees.
Mrs. Mary Welch interested herself
in the cases on behalf of the women
and secured concessions. 1t is prob
able that both women will move to
Indiana. That Lincoln county is not
the only county in the state where
violations of the states compulsory
attendance law are being prosecuted,
is shown by the following from the
Barbourville Advocate: Thomas G.
Hammons, county judge, has just is
sued forty-three warrants for par
ents and guardians who have failed
to send children of the right age to
the public schools in this county. He
did this upon information furnished
him by the teachers of the county.
The laws of the State of Kentucky
are very plain. Parents or guardians
will be made to pay the penalty if
they fail to put the children under
their charge in school"

Beautiful Young Girl
Related and Beloved Here, Queen of
St. Louis Carnival.

TIL st. Louis Republic last week
printed a very handsome picture of
Miss Mary D. Jones, daughter of
Breckenridge Jones, of that city, who
was chosen Queen of the Yelled
Prophets Carnival. This is one of
the most notable social events of
the season, and that Miss Jones
should be chosen for the queen was
considered very fitting and appro-
pirate for she IS one of the beauties
of st. Louis and great favorite in
society. Her mother was a sister of
DR.. Hugh Reid, Mrs. John B. Fos->
ter and Mrs. Bessie Mckinney, of
Stanford, and those who saw the pic
ture of this beautiful young girl
were greatly reminded of her moth
er who was a Kentucky beauty her.
self, and beloved by all here and at
her home in Missouri before her
death few years ago. The st. Louis
paper said of Miss Jones and her
queenly attire:
Miss Mary D. Jones, newest Queen
Of the Court of Love and Beauty,
was vision of loveliness as she as
cended the throne last night in a
beautiful creation of silver cloth and
cloudy tulle. The round, full skirt
ruffled with the misty tulle was made
after the prevailing style, each tier
of tulle edged with tiny bands of
misty tulle and silver with crystal
and brilliants in attractive design.
The long court train of brocaded
satin was embroidered in a silver de-
sign of exquisite pattern and was
lined with cloth of silver. The
whole majestic appendage, falling in
a graceful sweep, depended from the
shoulder. The tulle skirts, reaching
to the waist, formed beautiful
| flower, in the petals of which were
brilliants glistening like dew drops.
Over the stately train fell the gor-
geous coronation robe of ermine, the
habiliments of her rank. Straps of
brilliants encircled the snowy Shout
ders. The graceful young queen car
ried an immense cluster of purple
orchids with streamers corresponding
in shade to the delicate blooms She
was escorted to the ballroom on the
arm of N A. Mcmillan.

Tuesdays and Fridays
BURGLAR CAUGHT
YOUNG MAN MADE TWO ROB-
Berries NEAR HAYWOOD.
Posse Trails Him to Town After
Burglary of Store and Catches
Him With Goods On"

Some little excitement was caused
in town Sunday afternoon when a
posse composed Of a number Of well
known citizens of the Cedar Greek
and haywood sections of the county
trailed a burglar who had robbed the
store of S. Logan Stephenson at
haywood Saturday night, to town
and caught him in the barn at the
rear of the residence of Spears Fish
er on East Main street. The burglar
is a young white man, abOust p or
p years of age and gave the name
of William Cunningham when hailed
before County Judge Bailey, who
placed him under $500 bond for his
examining trial Tuesday. He said
that he came from Louisville but had
been in the Reform School some time
and as he had no one to care for him
decided to shift for himself.
Two charges of burglary are held
against Cunningham. Last Monday
while Mr.. TheO holland, of the Ce-
dar Creek section was in town, some
one entered his home and stole suit
of clothes and other small articles.
The suit which was taken from Mr.
holland was found in a grip which
Cunningham carried. No trace was
found of the man who robbed Mr..
hollands home at the time, but after
the store Of Mr.. Stephenson at May
wood had been robbed Saturday
night, neighbOrs received a report
that a suspicious looking fellow had
been seen on the railroad coming to-
ward Stanford Mr. Stehenson, Mr..
holland, Mr.. Henry Catron, and 9TH
er gentlemen of that section organic
ed an informal posse and started af-
ter him. They repeatedly found
traces of him as they came toward
Stanford. Cunningham evidently
came in direct on the railroad. He
showed up at the home of Mr.. Fisher
and it is believed spent the night in
Mr.. Fishers barn. He begged some
thing to eat and seemed famished.
Mr.. ]. r. Powell noticed the man at
the barn and thought ne was acting
suspiciously, so when the posse got
in from haywood ne told them what
he had seen and they went to the
place and caught Cunningham and
brought him to the court house soon
after noon Sunday.
An examination of his grip show
ed lot of the articles, jewelry, etc,
which he had stolen from the Ste
phenson store. He had a number
of keys in his pockets and seemed
fairly we'll equipped in that line to
obtain entrance most anywhere. The
man seemed Indifferent to his cir
cumstances; in fact, many thought
him not bright in mind and there was
talk of a lunacy inquiry.

I860.57th Year No. 81:
Rural Credits Investors
Interested In Taking of Dispositions
In Lexington Court.

Local stockholders of the defunct
Kentucky Rural Credit Association
are much interestei in the court &C.
ton taken last week in Lexington
The Lexington Herald said of the
matter:
Dispositions in the petition of John
IA. Bourne, of Owenton, against the
Kentucky Rural Credits Association
were taken by William Worthington
referee in bankruptcy, yesterday
Four witnesses were heard and a
fifth, B. H. Thompson, of Spars, will
be heard today at IL o'clock, which
will include the testimony taken
here. The referee and the attorneys
in the case will go from here to Cor
NTH, Grant county, for additional
testimony, to be submitted later in
the hearing of the case in the Fed
eral court
The attorneys for the plaintiffs
are H. M. Bourne and Judge ]. w.
Cammack, of Owenton, and A. M.
Baker and ]. A. Edge, of Lexington,
while the association is represented
by R. w. Mcdowell, of Louisville,
and Chester Adams, of Lexington,
and the receiver, R. j. Colbert.
The attorneys for the plaintiff say
that Receiver Colbert has denied
them access to the books and rec
ords of the Rural Credits Associa-
ton. The matter will be taken be-
fore Judge Kerr this morning. The
attorneys for the plaintiff say that
they were at first allowed to inspect
the records at will but later this
privilege was denied to them.
The first witness examined yester-
day in the referees court was Lee
Congleton, of Madison county, a
prominent lumberman, who said that
he had bought stock in the company
for the purpose of obtaining loans
and later finding that the agent of
the company had misrepresented the
company's financial standing, and
that they could not pay him the
loans asked, he disclaimed being a
stakeholder and desired to be cred
itor of the company.
j. B. Eads, next to take the
stand, said that he had applied for a
loan after being told by the compa-
ny's agents that the company was
prepared to loan $1,000 for each
500 worth of stock taken. He said
he had paid rs per cent of his stock
subscriptions when he discovered
that the company was insolvent; that
the company's agent had made false
representations to him and that the
company's officials were receiving
fabulous and enormous salaries. He
then repudiated his contract and
wished to be a creditor of the COM
pany, he said Dr. Eads applied for
$500 and offered as security a farm
appraised at about $4,000, he testi-
fed.
Fletcher Mann testified that he
had paid $3.50 of a $500 subscrip-
ton; that he discovered that the
company had been mismanaged, and
that instead of making loans at 5
per cent rates they were actually
charging per cent. Mr.. Mann
would have been entitled to borrow
$4,000 under the terms of the con-
tract, he said. He did not press his
application for a loan, he said, and
several months before the final break
came. notified the company that he
would repudiate his contract and de-
sired to be considered a creditor.
John Tuttles' testimony was sub
stantially the same as the others who
preceded him.

Killed In Auto Accident
One Danville Man Dies And Son OF
Col. Dunn Is Badly Hurt

r A horrible automobile accident oc-
|curred on the Danvilfe and LeXing-
ton pike when a car turned over,
Killing one of the occupants, a young
man named Albert Heathman and
badly injuring the other and driver.
English Dun, son of Col. and Mrs. |.
M Dunn. The Danville Advocate
tells of the tragedy, which occurred
EIast Friday night, as follows:
Danville was thrown into great ex-
|ci9ment Friday night shortly after
six o. clock when the information was
|telehoned in from the home of Mr..
(SSfln Baughman, on the Lexington
pike, that a bad automobile mishap
hsN occurred near his house.
Several automobiles were at once
dispatched to the scene to render
every possible aid, but before they
reached the place Mr.. Lynn Turner,
son of DIR. Horace Turner, and Mr..
|StSsley Dickson, of Paris, who were
driving along in car stopped and
got the injured men into their car
ard 'ushed them to the City Hospital
Mr.. Heathman, who was critically in
jured, expired just after he reached
the hospital, only drawing one or two
breaths. He never regained conSci-
BUSINESS. His head was mashed in and
it is believed also that his neck was
broken by the terrific impact.
Mr.. Dunn was found not seriously
hurt, though he had a cash over the
eye that was stitched up and several
other minor bruises. He will be all
right in a few days though ne is suf-
fering much from the great shock of
his nervous system.
1t is not known exactly what caus-
ed the accident, except that Mr..
Dunn, who was at the wheel was run
ming at a terrific speed. The car,
which turned turtle, was badly de-
molished.
Albert Heathman was the oldest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Heath
man, of Danville. Had he lived until
the Sth Of November he would have
been 80 years old. He went to work
for Mr.. c.. n Smith at the age of II
and had worked for him continuously
for 81 years-a record that bespeaks
industry He was a young man who
had many friends. He was always
kind and considerate of others and
honorable in all of his dealings with
his fellowman, and his death has
caused genuine sorrow among them.
His untimely death came as a great
shock to the entire city. The funeral
service was held Saturday afternoon
at three o'clock atthe home of his
parents, on North Third street, and
the interment followed at Bellevue
cemetery The service was conducted
by DIR. F. w. Eberhardt. This is the
first fatal automobile accident that
has occurred near Danville, and con-
sequently the people were not pre-
pared for the shock. This is sad les
son and let US all hope that a recur-
renee will never happen.

Mothers are sometimes so thought

less as to neglect the colds which
their children contract. The inflam-
