GIRL KILLED
Miss Nancy Palmer Is Instantly Killed
In Runaway Accident.

Miss Nancy Palmer, age seventeen.
was instantly killed last Friday when
the horse she was driving ran off. She
was hurled from the vehicle and head
struck tree, causing fractured skull
from which she died instantly. Her
sister, Ella Palmer, was also thrown
out and suffered conclusion of the
brain, but at this time her recovery is
considered certain, and her condition
is not so critical as was at first thought
They were daughters of Mr.. and Mrs.
Lee Palmer, who reside near Hackley
ON the Lancaster and Kirsksville pike
and the accident occurred near that
place on the hill at the creek.
Miss Palmer was well known in Kinks
vile and was niece of MIR. George
Palmer and Mrs. George Higginbotham
of Lancaster.
The horse became frightened by the
breaking of his harness and in running
down the hill, struck the buggy against
a tree. The girls head is supposed to
have struck the trunk of the tree, from
which she suffered fractured skull.
The hill on which the accident occurred
is considered one of the most dangerous
in the county, and several accidents
have occurred there in the last few
wears. The team of Mr.. John Logan
ran away there several years ago and
both horses were killed and Mr.. Logan
barely escaped with his life.

COMPTON CAP.
TURED IN ILLINOIS

Uncle Dave Ross returned from Lin
coin, ILL.,, Sunday with Hayden Comp
ton. who escaped from Jail here in
March. Compton had previously been
convicted on number of counts on the
charge selling whiskey. He was per-
haps the most open handed bootlegger
who has been convicted here in years,
selling almost to anyone from his
apple wagon" Since his escape,
Uncle Dave has been trailing every
clue in his efforts to catch him, and
about week ago. he was located at
Lincoln. Armed with extradition
papers from Gov. Stanley and accom-
panied by Sheriff Tom Ballard Uncle
Dave had no trouble in securing his
arrest.
Compton has evidently told quite a
different story than appeared at his
trial here, for the following ridiculous
article appeared in the Bloomington
Paragraph.
Charged with breaking Jail in Gar
rard county, Kentucky, W. Hayden
Compton, father of ten children. was
arrested by Deputy Sheriff Ollie Al
berts on farm in Eminence township.
He will be returned to Kentucky.
Compton was charged with unlawful
sale of liquor. If the story told by
Compton is true, and it is borne out by
his wife and brother. with whom Comp
ton had been living since coming to
Logan county recently, the proceedings
are somewhat out of the ordinary.
Convicted after his indictment on the
charge of selling liquor in dry territory,
Compton was fined $500 and sentenced
to 100 days in Jail. 1t Was understood
between himself, the sheriff OF Gar
rard county and the county prosecutor,
Compton declares. that if he paid his
fine the Jail sentence would not be en-
forced, provided he left the county.

parted.
Compton has been working at the
carpenter trade. After his arrest here
on the information from Kentucky he
asked to be taken to his wife. He then
gave her check he had just received
for carpenter work. Mrs. Compton
and ten children arrived In Logan coun-
