THE CREASED Pig"
Held Over TO the Grand Jury Satur-
day Afternoon in Police Court for
Obtaining Money Under False
PretensesJFred Hayes
In Bad Again.

In Police Court Saturday afternoon
Fred Hayes, the CREASED pig, was
held to the September term Of the
Grand Jury for obtaining money under
false pretenses. His bond was placed
at 5000 and being unable to put up
this amount was returned to Jail.
Hayes was charged with going to
the home of Mrs. Frances in East
land and representing to her that he
was representative of the Indian Mo-
torcycle Co. and collected $3.50 on a
bicycle her son had purchased from
those people on the installment plan
Investigation by the woman showed
that she had payed out the money
needlessly as Hayes was not repre-
sentative of the company.
In Police Court Hayes said that
young Frances owed him some money
and that the only way he could collect
it was by this method. He said that
il the boy had paid him at later time
he would have turned the money he
collected from Mrs. France to the
Motorcycle Company.
After hearing the evidence the court
held him over to the Grand Jury,
which meets next Monday. Hon. A
d. Cole represented the defendant.

GERMANTOWN FAIR
Best Of the SeasOn-HOrseme Say
That II Vast Best Held In
State This Year.

Germantown had what Is said by
many people to be the best fair that
has been held this season. The stock
exhibits were much better than at the
average county fair and probably the
best horse show held in the State at
any place. Some excellent beef cat
tie we're shown. This is quite Short
horn section and same good in
dividuals we're on exhibition. The
mule and draft horse show was much
better than at Ewing. This would
make 1t a better show Of these
classes than any other with the pos
sible exception of the mule show at
the Blue Grass Fair. The hog and
sheep show was better than had been
seen there for years.
The management was well pleased
with the success Of the fair and stated
that it was a financial success. The
largest crowds ever seen on the Ger
mantown fair grounds passed through
the gates every day and the live stock
barns and hog pens were constantly
filled with farmers eager to learn
something about live stock. Many i'm
provements will be made on the
grounds and buildings before next
year and plans will be made to i'm.
prove upon the fair in every way.
Many horsemen say that II was the
best horse show held in the State this
year. There were several stables
with only two or three horses, but
the principal stables showing were
Claude Thomas, Paris; Pagan Broth
ers, Brooksville; Charles Scott, Man.
chester, o., with Bourbon Tucker and
a lot of his get; Berry & Gaines, Wal
ton, KY; John Hunter, Millersburg;
Z. w. Dimmltt. Millersburg; Power
& Best, Paris; Ed Perkins and Mr..
Galbraith. Thomas, Power & Best
and Charles Scott fought hard for
honors, but Thomas carried off most
of them. Out Of sixteen shows he was
awarded fifteen blue ties. His good
mare, Sweetheart, and Grand Mon
arch, a much improved stallion, were
his best winners, getting five blues
each. Comrade and Masquerade each
were good winners. Sweetheart is
one of the most consistent mares on
the circuit, winning in all classes.
and has not lost grand champion
ship this year. She met her hardest
competition in the grand champion
ship ring for five-gaited saddle horses,
mare or gelding. There were ten en-
tries and while she won easily, she
was forced to show what she had.
Edwin Thomas, who is riding and
driving the horses for his father, did
not make a mistake and is improving
rapidly. He is the youngest Snowman
on the circuit.
