COUNTY POINTS TO GREET
EX-VICE PRESIDENT.

Appeals to Voters i'm Behalf OF
Hughes and Hasweli-Touclies
One Term Plank.

Former Vice President Charles
Warren Fairbanks spoke to laKsS
Gre wds from the rear platform Of hts
special train Saturday at Horse
branch, Beaver Dam, McHenry and
Rockport. His speeches. were mora
of an appeal for the election Of
Hughes and John p. Haswell than
an attack upon the opposition. Mr.
Fairbanks was exceedingly fair in
! his arguments and Democrats who
heard him were impressed with this
fact.
The special was met at Horse
Branch by local committee COM
POSED of E. G. Barrass, r. b. Mar
tin and A. J. Barnett who boarded
the train at that point. The distiR-
guished visitor was introduced at
Horse Branch by Thurman P. Dixon
where he made a fifteen minute ad-
dress. There were several hundred
present and good attention was Civ
en- while the forceful remarks were
being made.
Beaver Dam tried herBelf and as
sisted by Cromwell and Hartford sec
tions turned out one of the largest
crowds that ever attended a poriti-
cal gathering. The Louisville Herald
representative estimated the crowd
at between 1900 and 1900. Mr..
Fairbanks was introduced at Beaver
Dam by r. Il. Martin. Because OF
his two days of open air speaking and
strenuous campaigning the former
Vice President only consumed about
half of the time there, Eugene p.
Daily, of Louisville, concluding.
During his talk Mr.. Fairbanks re-
ferred to the one term plank adopted
by the Democratic party in 1912 and
said If it was a good thing it should
have been carried out and If a bad
plank it should never have been
adopted. He added that the voters
would carry out this promise for them
November Z. Great enthusiasm was
shown by the immense throng. Mr..
Daily's address was an arrangement
of Democratic policies.
Good crowds also turned out at
McHenry and Rockport to hear Sen
ator Fairbanks. A great demon
stration was given in Greensboro
Saturday evening and at Henderson

Cincinnati, o., Nov. 1.-Investi-
see Ink Company, III East Pearl
street, to determine if missing ex-
ecutive officer fostered any other ir-
Irregularities than to accept orders,
alleged to be false. purporting to be
from Barksdale Hamlet while Mr..
Hamlet was Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction of Kentucky, was be-
gun yesterday by Samuel c. Church.
an attorney, representing his sister,
in-law, Mrs. Sallie Woodmansee.
Mrs. Woodmansee is proprietor of
the company. 1t is believed an ex-
ecutive officer, who is reported to
have fed with a woman other than
his wife, accepted spurious orders ag-
gregating $4,000 for ink and paste
which never were delivered to Ken
lucky educational headquarters.
Search through billing files to de-
termine TO whom the ink finally was
billed, also was begun yesterday by
Mr.. Church, who reaffirmed his
statement Monday that Mr.. Hamlet
had assured him in person his bill
would be paid II presented to V. o.
Gilbert, present Superintendent of
Public Instruction in Kentucky. Mr..
Hamlet has denied any knowledge
of the alleged orders.
81 met Mr.. Hamlet twice in Gin
cinnati, each time in conference with
the Woodmansee representative who
has disappeared" said Mr.. Church
yesterday. approximately three
weeks ago Mr.. Hamlet said he would
do all in his power to see that col
ections were made on the bills, which
have been due since late in Novem-
Der, 1915"
When Mr.. Church presented his
bills to Kentucky officials at Frank
fort last week, he found them in alb
solute ignorance OF such indebted
ness, and was assured Of such indebt-
edness and was assured the Depart
meut of Education neither bought
inks and paste in such quantities,nor
could find practical use for them.
MIR. Church said he has been una
be to find any definite orders to the
oompany's executive from Mr.. Ham
lett. He said the executive inform
ed him the orders always were Civ
en- over a telephone, and that he
himself once had talked with a per-
son representing himself to be Mr..
Hamlet.
The orders accumulated during a
period from February 1914, TO NO
vember, 1915.

HAYDEN CURTIS dies
FROM BULLET WOUNDS
EXAMINING TRIAL OF ERNEST
LITsEY. MARTwICK BOY, SET
FOR SATURDAY.

The examining trial of Ernest Lit
sey. who shot and killed Hayden
Curtis. both of Martwick, Mullen
burg county. was set over to Satur-
day by the County Court Wednes-
day. The case was set over because
of the failure Of some important wit
nesses to appear.
The shooting occurred in Rock
port Saturday afternoon about two
O'Clock. There seems TO be conflict
ing reports as to the cause of the
killing but Curtis and l.itsey had had
some trouble Saturday morning and
the quarrel continued at intervals
until its termination in the tragedy.
1t is said that Litsey went to his
nome in Martwick after the morning
difficulty where he probably armed
himself. The trouble that led to the
shooting was renewed on a platform
in front of a pool room. 1t is said
that Litsey was either showed off or
backed OFF the platform and fired
while recovering from the fall. The
first shot struck Pete Taylor. a negro,
in the foot and the second took effect
in Curtis bowels. ranging upward.
II is alleged that the latter was arm
ed with knife.
After the shooting Curtis walked
across the street and sat down. 1t
was soon discovered that he was bad
ly wounded and he was taken to the
home of his father-in-law where
doctor was summoned. but the
wound was mortal and nothing could
be done to save his life and he ex-
pired about six O'Clock.
Litsey was arrested by Marshal
Her, of Rockport, and Sheriff Keown
was notified. The Sheriff went to
Rockport and brought Litsey to
Hartford where he was placed in
jail.
Curtis, who was twenty-five years
old, formerly lived in Hartford and
is son of Mr.. Alex Curtis, Litsey
is a brother-in-law of Mr.. Andy AL
ford, OF Hartford, and like Curtis,
Is prominent The young fellows
are said to have been friends before
the trouble arose. Both were mar
ried and Litsey has one child.
The remains of the young man
were buried in the Rockport cemetery

WHEAT PRICES SUFFER-
BIG SLUMP IN CHICAGO

Chicago, Nov. Wheat prices
suffered n severe setback today, fall
ing in some cases as much as "a
cents a bushel. Apparent chances
OF increased tension between the
United States and Germany had dc
cided bearish influence, as did pros
poets Of imports of Australian wheat
at San Francisco.
Heavy liquidation OF holdings took
place here. A leading bull specula-
tor was especially conspicuous in
the selling. The greatest tumble in
prices showed in the December OPP
tion. which dropped to $1.S2h, as
compared with SISSY to $1.S9 at
the finish yesterday. The close to-
day was very unsettled, with Decem-

Note Of Appreciation.

In the ordinary experiences OF life
We do not appreciate how dependent
we are on Others. This Is true not
only Of the ordinary comforts. but
more so OF the finer touches OF love
and sympathy that reach the deeper
springs Of lie.
Since coming among the people OF
La Junta four years ago our family
has passed through deep waters. A
year ago our husband and father left
us. and last week our Gear F,uyd was
called home. Both OF these loved
ones passed through prolonged weak
ness and suffering. The past year
has been fun OF anxious care. In
these trials and bereavemeuts we
have been greatly helped by the kind
hearted people OF La Junta. The eH-
preston OF this loving sympathy has
not been limited by any church lines.
All Of this is balm TO our sorrowing
hearts. Any words taht We can
command utterly fan 20 express our
appreciation. Your kindly deeds
have liEhtoned our burdens; your
words Of sincere sympathy echo in
our souls, and the fragrance OF your
beautiful and generous floral trib-
utes viii never die out OF our hearts.
May We not appropriate the words
Of the Master when he said. In a.
much as ye have done It unto one OF
the least Of these, ye have done 6, un-
TO me" Kind frineds, one and all,
accept our sincere thanks.
