SHOOTS tenant,
Mr.. James Owens Of the County Ser.
iOusly Injuries Mr.. Thomas Reeves
In a Quarrel Over Some
Tobacco Sticks.

Mr.. James Owens, prominent farm
er residing on the Clarke's Run Pike,
near Washington, shot and severely
wounded his tenant, Mr.. Thomas
Reeves. in an argument over some to-
bacco sticks on his place Wednesday
morning about o'clock.
Reeves, according to a story of some
of the eye witnesses, had raised a cror
of tobacco on the place Of Mr.. Owens
and the former not having enough
barn space to house all of it, received
permission to store a part Of the to-
bacco in stable belonging to Mr.
Owens. Wednesday morning, togeth-
err with two other men, he began TAX
ing the tobacco from the stable, prep
aratory to stripping the same. Mr.
Owens came to the stable and noticed
that the tobacco sticks were being left
on the ground in the stable and asked
Reeves what he was going to do with
them, Reeses replied that he had found
the sticks on the ground and that he
was going to leave them there. A
heated argument followed and Owens
left the stable and went to his home
and got his gun. Coming back to the
stable he told Reeves that he would
see that he did clean up the stable

DR.. ". A. GANFIED
Delivers the Dedication Address ut the
Washington High School Yester-
day MOrning-Large Crowd
Present.

The dedication exercises at the
Washington High School yesterday
morning we're we'll attended by a
large crowd of persons from all over
the county. The weather was idea!
and made it possible for great many
to attend.
The exercises opener with a hymn,
followed by a scripture reading by
Rev. Ishmael Rev. Hooper led in
prayer. Miss Edith Berry Hamilton
sang a very beautiful solo.
DIR. w. A. Garfield, president of Cen
tire College at Danville, KY, gave the
dedication address. His subject was
American Institutions. He gave these
institutions as the home, state church
and school. In opening his address he
said that Kentucky is entitled to the
fame and glory of the ancient Greece
and Judging from the looks of his au-
dience, Washington deserved to be
called the Athens of the state. He said
that taxation sthe greatest agency of
our modern American life. "Of the
four great institutions, the home,
state, church and school, two rely on
the taxes, the state and school. The
church is kept by private subscription.
The schools depend on taxes more
than the state"
Then he asked the question, (Which
if any of the four institutions would
you be willing to give up?" In reply
ing to his own question he said that he
was doubtful If anyone would want to
give up any of them as they stood for
the greatest things in modern history.
One stricking statement made by him
was that schools render the biggest,
best and finest social service of any
of the four.
DrGanfield made a very interesting
comparison when he told of the woods
man, who before going into the woods
to fell tree always sharpened his axe
to the keenest edge by holding his axe
to the grindstone. A child sent forth
into the world must have its mind held
to the grindstone of education in or
der that its mind may be sharpened SO
as to fell the trees" much more read
lily. He said that he did not mean that
education was a grindstone. He said
that he had never seen anyone holding
cabbage head to a grindstone.
Following the address Of DR.. Can
field, Miss Casey, of the Haywood
Hospital addressed the audience in re-
gard to the Mason County Health
League A collection was taken for
this organization amounting to $11.6S
The meeting then closed for the noon
hour and dinner
The ladies of the district served a
delicious dinner on the second floor OF
the building. A large number Of per-
sons partook of the good many good
things served by them.
Following the noon hour a program
was carried out in song and story. The
closing event of the afternoon was a
flag raising over the school

Reeves replied that he was not afraid
Of him and that he would not clean up
the stable. Owens then shot him. He
broke his gun to shoot again but the
wounded man begged him not to shoot
again.
Reeves was removed to his home and
medical aid hastily summoned. II was
found that the shot had glanced along
the side of his head, making very
severe scalp wound, but II is thought
that none of the shot penetrated the
BRAIN IL is said that Reeves, believ-
ing Owens was about to shoot threw
his head to one side, this act saving
his life. From the reports he is in no
serious danger this morning.
Reeves brother, Mr.. Ben Reeves,

out a warrant for Owens, charging
shooting and wounding with intent to
kill. The man was summoned to come

MANCHESTER LICKED
In a Fast Game of Basketball on the

In fast game of basketball on the
floor of the High School auditorium
Wednesday night, Manchester High
School was defeated by the local team
by the score of SO to 10. The CANA
was a good one, but was marked with
two very interesting fights from the
viewpoint of the spectator.
The lineup at the beginning of the
game was as follows:

Coleman and Wood were chased from
the game in the first half for engaging
a. h6he Nv oNOAp W bhp Chu vi NhO
first half was as to 2.
The second half started with a field
goal for Manchester. This was fol-
lowed by a foul goal for the visitors
and then the big fight came. Brown
ing and Cole were the participants,
Cole causing the battle. Seeing that
Browning was smaller he endeavored
to put II over on him which the lat
ter resented. Seeing the two engaged
in the fight, in the exicatement the lar
ger part of the audience rushed to the
floor and had II not been for the
fact that the faculty were present the
Manchester boy might have suffered
severe injury. Wood was reinstated In
the game although before the half
was over a complete change had been
made in the lineup. The final score
was 36 TO 10.
There will be another game tonight
