KNIFE THIEF LEAVES TOWN.

B. c. Brown, who has worked on
the farm of S. H. Baughman, on the
Somerset pike for about a year, left
for parts unknown early this week
following the discovery that he had
stolen about dozen pocket knives
from George H. Farris last Saturday
night. The discovery came through
an alteration that he had with Bob
Raines. Brown attempted to pull one
of the knives on Raines, who prompt
ly knocked him down and took the
weapon away from him. The knife
still had Mr.. Farris' mark on it, and
other people turned up who said that
Brown had tried to sell them brand
new knives. Brown got wind of the
fact that his theft had become known
and took train out of town in the
direction of Junction City. The name,
Brown, is said to have been an as
sumed one, and but little was known
of him here.

he would go to Parkersburg, w. Va,
to take the pastorate of the first

the first four years he was in the
West Virginia conference. The place
was made vacant by the resignation
of Rev. O'Rear, who was forced to

RAILWAYMEN HELD UP.

After the Kentucky Central pay
train had been along Tuesday, high
waymen, who probably expected rich
er loot, held up two railway employ
eS at Livingston and got S1.47 for
their pains. The victims were Henry
Browning, L. & N. yard foreman at
Livingston, and the other a brake
man. George Mullins, on parole from
the Frankfort penitentiary, is under
arrest in the Mt. Vernon Jail charged
with having been one of the high
waymen.

DANVILLE MAY HAVE FAIR
Maurice Farris Leases Grounds and
Nav Put On Fair Himself

All efforts to make a Danville fair
a success when operated by an asso-
citation, having proved a failure the
past years, it is probable that a fair
viii be put on this year by an indi-
vidual. The Advocate says the fair
grounds have been leased by Hon.
M. j. Farris, Jr., than whom no one
is better qualified nor more capable
of making a success of the enterprise
if he decides to go into it. The Ad-
vocate said:
= The beautiful Danville fair grounds
were leased for the year 1916 to Mr..
M. ]. Farris, Jr., and the residence
was leased by Mr.. w. H. Evans, who
has been living in it the past year.
Mr.. Farris' purpose is to organize a
wide-a-wake fair association and this
year hold an old-time fair, such as
made Danville famous in years past.
Mr.. Farris is hustler and man of
liberal policies and purposes to pro-
mote a fair which will draw the
crowds from all quarters. Arrange
ments will be made to carry the peo-
pie to the grounds at a nominal fig
ure to provide other means for the
accommodation of the people who
wish. to attend. This is a step in the
right direction. These beautiful
grounds should be held for public
uses. No community in the state has
such a desirable place for holding a
fair, and similar events, and the Fair
Association is to be congratulated
upon holding the grounds instead of
billing them. as was formerly the in
tion. 1t is fortunate that the lease
made to Mr.. Farris, as his ideas
holding a fair are in accord
he public wishes in the matter.

the Trigg bill, S. B. No. "a, provid-
ing that each county pay one-half
OF the present State allowance of SIS

Trigt in urging its passage, made the
statement that there were $4,000
pauper idiot claims paid annually
by the state, and that if each county
was required to pay one-half the bur-

materially decrease. The bill was
opposed by Senators C. F. Montgom-

Brock, of Harlan, and j. R. thinner
man, of Bullitt, who contended that
the proposed law would not decrease
the number of pauper idiots and
that it was essentially the duty of
the State to care for their unfortu-
mates and they should not be put off

penses to pay now. Senators G. G..

The report of this committee came
as bombshell into the ranks of the
liquor interests and certain so-called
democratic leaders who hoped to pre-
vent the present session from giving
the people vote on this important
question at the present session of
the legislature. This action of the
committee gives the statewide bill a
fine start in the senate 1t was Civ
en- it's first reading Friday and placed
in the calendar. Then, in the natural
course of senate proceedings, the bill
will reach the stage where it can be
placed on its final passage Tuesday.

are confident that Lieut.. Gov. Black
will sec that no trigger work" is
done against it by some of the po-
litical second story men who are al
ways working overtime at Frankfort
to serve the interest of their patrons.
The Louisville Herald on Friday
morning said: Dry adherents in the
legislature are determined to push
the statewide amendments least
such is the determination Of khe lead
erS. There are greet MANY 81
legislators who say they would pre-
fer not to press the bill at this ses-
sion, but that they will support it if
it is brought up for consideration.
This means that statewide will be
a dominant issue during the session.
The lines are not yet so drawn that
predictions concerning the outcome
can be made with any degree of safe
ty. Present idnications are that the
result will be very close in the house
of representatives with the chances
in favor of the bill. The situation in
the Senate is extremely doubtful on
account of the number of senators
who decline to commit themselves.
In the senate the chances are looked
upon by the we'll informed as being
against the bills chances, but, as said
before, predictions at this juncture
are of extremely questionable value.
