Postmaster James B. Stears. Mr..
Walton left Friday morning to take
charge of the paper Some interest
ing sidelights on the newspaper sit
uation in Nicholasville were brought

owned half interest in the others
paper sub rosa, for several years and
neither could sell without the con-
sent of the other. They had the
newspaper game there in a sling I'M

will now give the good people of
JessaPjne county a country paper
that will make them all ''go some"

SUIT THROWN
OUT OF COURT
jury Exonerates Elmer Anderson Of
Blame for Causing Death of the
Late Thomas j. Oaks.

Elmer Anderson, young son Of
Henry c. Anderson, of this city, was
exonerated of all blame for causing
the death of the late Thomas J.
Oaks, by the jury which heard the
big $4,000 damage suit fled against
Mr.. Anderson by the administrator
of Mr.. Oaks in the local circuit
court. After hard fought trial, in
which some of the ablest legal tai
ent in this part of the state was en-
gagged, the jury reached unanimous
verdict in favor of Mr.. Anderson. The
jury was evidently quickly impressed
with the justice of Mr.. Anderson's
defense that the accident was entire
ly unavoidable on the part of his son,
for it was out only about five min
utes, and quickly returned to court
Wednesday afternoon with it's YER
dict, read by Foreman Ras Allen, in
favor of Anderson. The verdict
seemed to be an entirely satisfactory
one to nearly all of the spectators
who heard the evidence, as well as
others who were familiar with the
facts in the case. Mr.. Oaks was
nearly deaf and blind, and had a
habit of walking in the middle of the
pike. Young Anderson struck him
with his car near Rowland several
months ago. Witnesses said that in
attempting to dodge a wagon, Mr..
Oaks jumped squarely into the car
and that it was through no fault of
young Anderson that the lamentable
accident occurred.
After conclusion of the Anderson
case circuit court adjourned over
until Friday as Judge Hardin desir-
ed to go to Frankfort that evening
and with a number of other officials
attended Col. Ike Dunn's fish fry
Thursday.
When court reeonvened on Friday
it took up trial of a right of way
suit from the East End. 1t is ex-
pected that the case against d. s.
Bromley, former local insurance
agent, will be gotten into this week.
Mr.. Bromley is charged with secur-
ing signatures to a paper by false
pretenses. His friends say he viii
in all probability be cleared of the
charge.

PEACEFULLY
PASSES AWAY
Death Relieves Mrs. Joseph Coffey
After Long Illness-Funeral
Friday Afternoon.

On the dawn of her 33rd wedding
anniversary, Wednesday, the spirit
of Mrs. Margaret Ballard Coffey,
wife of Joseph Coffey, one of STAN
ford's best known citizens, passed
over into the Great Beyond, after
weeks of lingering upon the very
brink. Seldom is more gallant or te-
nacious resistance made to the en-
croachment of dissolution than was
witnessed in the final illness of this
beloved woman. Of remarkable con-
stitution, time and again she would
rally, reviving often the spark of
hope in the hearts of the loved ones
who watched and waited at the bed
side, anxious to do everything for
her in the final hours. For several
years she had been an invalid, and
at last tired nature was compelled
to give up the unequal battle and
with a sigh, her soul left its earthly
tenement and was gathered unto its
Maker
Surrounding the bedside of the
good wife and mother when the end
came were all of her children and
her husband, as well as other loved
ones. All had taken pleasure in
ministering to her every want, and
her death, the first in the immediate
family, has left them all bowed with
sorrow, which nothing can assuage.
Early in life, Mrs. Coffey became a
member of the Christian church, and
she passes over the Dark River leav-
ing behind the shining example of a
long life, well spent, to the loved
ones who now mourn. Her children
are Walter w. Saunders and Miss
Ella May Saunders, by her first hus-
band, the late Walter W. Saunders,
who was prominent in the history
and affairs of this section of the
state, shortly after the Civil War;
and Robert H. Coffey and Capt. Joe
L. B. Coffey, sons of her later mar
riage to Mr.. Coffey, which took
place just 80 years ago to the day
of her death, the ceremony being
performed by Rev. ]. G. Livingston,
who said the last words over her re-
mains this afternoon.
The deceased was before her first
marriage, Miss Margaret Ballard,
daughter of James Ballard, her par
ents being prominent members of
the pioneer families of Madison
county. In addition to her immedi-
ate family she is survived by the
following sisters and brothers, Mrs.
W. R. Dillon, of London, Mrs. Louis
Pigg, of Kansas City, VIM. Ballard,
Of Kansas City and John Ballard, of
Gashland, Mo.
Services at the home on Main
street were conducted Friday after
noon by Revs. ]. G. Livingston, Jo-
seph Ballou and d. NJ. Walker, af-
ter which interment was in Buffalo
Springs Cemetery. The pallbearers
were:
