terward was many times prevailed
upon to enter politics. II am shy OF
politics-have had enough he often
said.
Thirty years later, however, he ac-
ceded to the wishes Of his friends and
became a candidate.
In that session, he introduced the
bill and fought for the creation of a
new county out of parts of Letcher
and Floyd, and as result, Knott
county was created, being named for
Governor J. Proctor Knott then Chief
Executive. While talking of "Uncle
Bob" he is frequently mentioned as
the Father of Knott county" until

Walks To Frankfort.
Twenty-Five years ago the people
of his home county again persuaded
"Uncle Bob" to become a candidate
for Sheriff. He was elected by a
large majority and made an envia-
Bile reputation. During his admin
istration, he made several trips afoot
to Frankfort to transact business.
Not long ago, when he had bust
ness at Mt. Sterling, distance of
200 miles, he set out on horseback,
making the distance in little more
than two days. Hearing of bunch
Of cattle in Russell County, Va, a
few days later, he mounted his horse,
and rode over into the Virginia coun-
ty In less than day, closed the deal,
and drove the cattle to Kentucky the
following day.
Still hale and healthy, Uncle Bob
lives next to nature, refuses to take
medicines, and never used tobacco
any form.
II take life in the right sort of
way" he said, II don't worry, no
matter what obstacles confront me.
Laugh and be merry, is my motto.

From an almost trackless forest,
Uncle Bob has seen his country de-
velop churches and schools estab-
lished, feud wars arise and end, rail-
roads built. coal mines opened, in
fact, new order of things establish
ed throughout the length and breadth
of Eastern Kentucky.
Uncle Bob has large number of
descendants. His grandchildren
number more than 200; great-grand
children los; and great. great grand
children about sixty. He is broth

The analysis showed that the guests
who partook of the soup missed death
by a narrow margin. The poison
used was white oxide Of arsenic. DR.
Toney said that his estimate show
ed that the portions lserved each
guest contained one and half grains
OF the drug.
His calculations showed that the
entire kettle of soup contained 48(
grains. This development was re-
garded as significant by detectives
working on the case. In the amateur
laboratory of Jean Crones. the miss

ounce bottle said to have contained
arsenic. but which was empty, was
found. An ounce of the drug con-

relics of greater or less importance.
"The most noteworthy objects
are: Four pieces Of plaster statuary.

and engravings; many pieces OF fur
niture. including Washington's easy
chair, tables, chairs. mirrors. bed
stead and footstool; numerous can

glass and chinaware and table furn-
ishings; as well as many personal
relics. These latter perhaps repre-
sents more to the visitor. since they
were the individual property OF this
great statesman and warrior.
There are two interesting cos

Hot Springs
 Hundreds of citizens gathered at the Iron Mountain Depot at Hot Springs and gave the special hospital train of the United States Army. which brought from Fort Sam Hous- ton, Texas, 151 patients for the local army and navy hospital, a royal wei come. The train consisted of II coaches and constituted the best equipped hospital train the War De- partment has ever owned. It was in charge of Capt. Howard H. Bailey of the United States army medical corps, who was formerly located in this city.
 The patients were transferred to ambulances and waiting automobiles, which conveyed them to Uncle Sam's" big hospital. Many trips were necessary before all the soldiers were taken from the train to the big insti- tuition on the hill. About every kind of ailment known to border service was represented in the cases recorded at the army and navy hospital. Many of the soldiers are convalescing from typhoid, some are suffering from rheu- matism, while others have various ail- ments. Two of the men received are convalescing from wounds received with Pershlng in Mexico.
 There are over 1S0 patients in the army and navy hospital. The officials here have been making ready for the patients that arrived, and in order to have accommodations for all of them 1t was necessary that over 70 other patients, some of them having seen service in the Civil War and others in the Spanish-American War, leave the army and navy hospital and seek accommodations in local hotels or boarding houses. The army and navy hospital in this city, under the com mand of Col. Winters. has reached that state of efficiency that finds 1t fully equipped as a complete army base hospital should be.
