thousand Negro troops be re-
cruited in the southern states

that the Negro troops will be

troops. :,

MYSTERY SHROUDS
MURDER IN ALLEY
Notorious Thief and Outlaw
Got His" by Strangulation
After Lively Chase

Murder in it's most CHASTITY form
was committed in this peaceful village
early Friday night when Jumbo Ro-
dent notorious thief and outlaw, was
strangled to death in the alley back of
the Foley hotel. The finger of sus-
picion points directly at Burgomaster
Schultz and Christ Eystad. The last
seen of Jumbo alive he was crossing
the street with these two dignitaries
in hot pursuit. A few moments later
frantic cries for help aroused Albert
Stangor in his room overhead and
when he peered through the window
the cold moon shed it's feeble rays
over the PROSTATE form of Mr.. Ro
dent who had been his friend and
daily visitor at the lumber yards.
Later Schultz and Eystad dragged the
strangled remains to the street. No
eye had seen them, no ear had heard
them. The secret was their own and
they are safe! No prosecutions will
follow although Robert is known to
have large circle of relatives and
friends in Alberta who would like to
"get' them.
For some time Rodent had esta-
blished tramp headquarters at the
lumber yards. Many robberies have
been laid at his door lately and
Eystad and Schultz charge him with
the theft of some of their high
priced flour. He had mysterious
ways of entering the stores despite
the fact that dogs were kept on
watch and the men themselves had
lain in wait several dark and dreary

L. ?. Norby was among those from
here who visited the big state fair
this year and was surprised with the
excellent live stock and machinery ex-
hibits. Mr.. Norby had business at
Minneapolis and found a few hours in

straight for the live stock barns. 1t

disappeared when Rodent was around
although there was plenty of it lying
about.
Friday evening Eystad was out
in front of the store when the sleek
Mr.. Rodent stepped forth. "Ah, you
old rascal - explained Mr.. Eystad as
he darted to do battle with Alberta's
most notorious thief. The pursuit was
observed by Mayor Schultz who took
a couple of bitches in his belt, spat
in his hands and in three strides was
in the alley back of the hotel where
he made low football tackle and had
Mr.. Rodent by one leg. Immediately
the night was hideous with dying
shrieks of the victim. Excited and
enraged the two men struggled with
their adversary till Mr.. Eystad's
brawny hands clutched the sonorous
throat down which so much of his
flour, cheese and sausage had slipped.

Big Detroit Company Chosen For
New Alliance By T. H.
Cochran & Co.
NEW CARS HANDSOME
Local Organization Enthusiastic
Over Prospects For
Big Business.

Formal ratification has reached
this city of contract whereby
the Maxwell car is to be handled
here by T. H. Cochran & Co.
This ratification was the con.
clusion of negotiations which had
been informally closed some time
ago.
By the terms of this arrange
ment. bringing as it does an
active and ample organization to
the Maxwell army, adequate rep
resentation for this popular
priced car is assured here. While
the present contract runs for one
year only, the solid permanence
of the parties interested gives
ground for the belief that rela-
tions will be of indefinite length
of time. Such is, in fact, a char
acteristic feature of Maxwell
agencies all over the country.
The entire organization of the
new local Maxwell store is en-
thusiastic over the possibilities of
the alliance.
I'VE took our time and looked
over the whole field" said T. H.
Cochran. I'VE were out to pick
without the use of anything but

would make US the most money

definitely into the future. We
believe we have gotten the best
one in the Maxwell. While the

stands up and gives satisfaction.

gratifying way its legitimate

LAUDS CO., Agent
J. ROBERT BIRD
A RecapituIation Of His Work
Which Has Been Valuable
To Crittenden County.

Dear Mr.. Editor: | want to
say something about what our
County Farm Agent has done for
our section of the country
Mr.. Bird came to Crittenden,
January, 1915, and has certainly
worked wonders for this county
with the farmers. Everyone
likes him, for he is a perfect
gentleman, always in a good
humor and ready and willing at
all times to help you and is busy
every moment. He has visited
about l,200 farmers. talked with
them about their farm and help.
ed them. He has attended about
200 farmers meetings, has trav.
eled on horseback 5000 miles
and has vaccinated about 1900
hogs. about 200 cattle and saved
92 per cent of the hogs.
The farmers, through him,
have used 225 tons of 16-per.
cent acid phosphate at q saving
of $3.50 per ton on their fertili-
ger bills. There has been used
under MIR. Birds direction be.
tween 200 and 300 tons Of ground
limestone. with wonderful re.
suits.
He has a boys pig club and
had a pig show which could not
he beat on earth. Some Of these
pigs were taken to Louisville and
won premiums. He has held a
county fair with all kinds Of
stock. poultry, field and garden
stuff. There were thousands of
people at these shows. These
things were all worked up by
Mr.. Bird. This saving for the
farmers is a big item and ! think
can be done only by cooperation,
which every farmer ought to
take pride in and which Mr.. Bird
has brought them together in.
When our farmers 20 to improv.
ing their land they will have
better crops, better stock and
cooperate in buying their fertil.
izer, etc., and everything they
can not raise on their farms.
Then they can make and save
more money.
Mr.. Bird has been worth
thousands Of dollars to Critten.
den county this year. am sure
all the county agents are fine
men. but they don't make any
better than Mr.. Bird is. He i:

From The Lexington Herald Of
Friday, Jan. 7th, 1916.

FRIDAY, Jan. ith, 1915.
Cooperation among farmers
and all those concerned with far
ming interests over the state
was the keynote sounded at the
sessions yesterday of the Far
mers' Week program.
A largely attended marketing
conference in the afternoon. at
which able addresses along this
vein were delivered BY Or. Fred
Mutchler, Robert NJ. Allen. H.
G. Taylor, Of Madison, Wis, c.
c. Thomas, OF Somerset and c.
d. Boha nnon, OF Lexington, was
the feature of the days business.
The attendance at the Horse
Breeders Association meeting
yesterday morning was the best
in many years. The farmers and
breeders present expressed earn.
est approval Of the work Of the
Kentucky Racing Association in
purchasing stations for public
use in the state. In the absence
Of Senator J. n. Camden, Pro-
fessor j. J. Hooper explained
fully the plan Of the commission.
Ten thoroughbred stations of
good type, have been purchased
by the commission and will be
sent TO various points in the state
February lst, in an effort TO i'm
prove the breed Of horses in Ken
lucky and afford farmers gener-
ally opportunity Of breeding their
mares to thoroughbred stations
without paving an unreasonable
service fee. Ivan Gardner will
be sent TO Henderson; Luke to
Paducah; Mad River to Tomp-
kinsville; Polarine to Island City;
Milan to Hickory. Mirzer to Ty.
ner: Samson to Edmonton: John
w. Chester TO Williamsburg:
Busy to Manila: and Magazine
TO London.
They have all been placed with
careful. conscientious farmers
who have promised to secure fifty
mares for each horse. More than
100 applications were received
for thoroughbred stations and
Professor Hooper said he regret
ted that all could not be accept
ed, but the commission purchased
only ten stations this year. Next
year fifteen will be purchased,
and il is believed the work will
grow materially each year.
Professor Hooper gave a his
tory Of the thoroughbred horse
in his talk, with an elaborate ac-
count of leading horses in Ken
lucky. The thoroughbred horse
has proved valuable not only on
the race course. he said, but be-
fore the plow.

was that Of DR.. Robert Graham
