That's what gives us what is called

Chief of Police James Upton has
received a second letter from Key
ser, W. Va, asking him to make a
search for her son, Roy Sidney
Likens, aged about 16 years. Young
Likens weighs about 1876 pounds,
has light hair and fair complexion.
He was last seen in this city Deem
Der 2Sth., but since that time his
mother has received no word from
him. The young man was fond of
country life and his relatives think
it possible that he is working on
some farm in this neighborhood.
Anyone knowing anything about the
young man will kindly give such in

In an editorial in the Elizabeth
town News, headed, "Some Of the
Unified Pledges of Governor STAN
ley" Col. Harry Sommers says:
"0wsley Stanley would not have
been elected Governor if he had not
declared himself unequivocally in
favor Of the county unit law, and
for its strict enforcement. Not
withstanding his previous record on
the liquor question, thousands of
temperance Democrats, opposed to
State prohibition, accepted his
statements as true, and voted for
him in preference to Mr.. McChes-
ney. Throughout the entire session
Owsley Stanley showed himself to
be the plant tool of the liquor in
terests. Upon every question he
threw the entire weight of his in
fuence and patronage into the scale
to do their bidding. His opposition
to the anti shipping bill, designed to
prevent bootlegging, is alone suf-
fcient to knock into cock hat his
promise to stand for the enforce
ment of the county unit law. The
administration is one of complete
subserviency to the whisky and
brewery trust and Stanley's pre-
election pledge that he stood for the
county unit law is mockery and
a sham"

said he had been in fourteen coun-

people had insisted that he enter

the encouragement he had received
it was more than likely that he

MAJOR TENNEY
PASSES AWAY
Continued from Page ~

sion of the court Of appeals SOW
ereignty was vouchsafed not only
to him but to every Confederate
soldier.
Major Teney was born in Han
over Township, New Hampshire,
December A, 1922. He was the son
of Captain Seth Tenney and Esther
Miller Tenney. His father was q
captain in the War Of 1912, and
David Tenney, his grandfather, had
been a Revolutionary soldier. He
was the representative of early Am
orleans, the Tenneys having come
to Massachusetts from Yorkshire,
England, in 1888.
At the age of thirteen he entered
the Norwich Institute and passed
from that to Norwich University.
In 1912 he graduated with the de-
gree Of Bachelor of Arts; received
his A. M. degree in 1S47 and the de-
gree of L. L. d. was conferred in
1891.
He taught in Partridge Military
Academy at Wilmington, Delaware,
from 1916 to 1S47. In 1s47 he
moved to Kentucky, establishing a
military school at Fort Mason, near
Mt. Sterling. At the same time he
commenced the study of the law un-
der Colonel Walter Chiles, but con-
Quoted the school until 1S49, when
he was admitted to the bar. Until
1862 he practiced at Mt. Sterling.
With the outbreak of the War Be-
tween the States, he became drill
master for Thomas Johnson's bat
talon, which was recruiting here.
When the organization was form
ed, he was made Major of the Sec
ond Kentucky Cavalry. He was
with Generals Wheeler and Forrest
at McMinniville and Pennington;
with Wheeler in Tennessee, Georgia,
Alabama and the Carolinas; with
Morgan at Mt. Sterling and at
-Greenville, Tenn, where General
Morgan was killed; with Jubal A.
Early in the Shenandoah Valley
and in the engagements at Saltville
and Marion. He was in this region
still fighting when Lee surrendered.
He was paroled at Lexington and
returned to Mt. Sterling, where he
practiced law successfully until his
removal to Lexington. In 1864 and
in 1874 he was a candidate for Cir
cult Judge, but was defeated. He
was commander of John C. Brock
inridge Camp, Confederate Veterans
and for many years was president
of the Kentucky Society, Sons of
the Revolution. He was the oldest
member of the latter organization in
the United States. In the Lexington
bar, of which he had been the dean
for many years, his loss will be
keenly felt.
Major Tenney married Miss Junia
Maria Warner, daughter of DR..
James Warnes, of Wilmington, Del,
May IS, 1S4S. OF his three daugh-
tiers only one survives, she being
Mrs. James Ballister Russell, wife
of a Boston banker and brother of
Governor William Russell.
Mrs. Russell arrived in Lexington
Wednesday night and was with her
father at the end. Five grandchild-
rem and ten great-grandchildren
survive. The grandchildren are
Charles Theodore Russell, of Cam
bridge; Mrs. Robert Hude Nelson,
of New York; Joseph B. Russell,
Jr., of Boston; Mrs. Harold F. Ma
