Mrs. Rebeeca Works, Wife Of Lewis
County Minister, Attacked
While Asleep.

Maysville, Ky.-Entering his
mothers bedroom, at an early hour
Saturday, James Works. q, choked
his mother, Mrs. Rebecca Works, 60,
to death, the terrible deed being en-
acted at the Works home at Spence,
Lewis county. Her body was not
found until 7 o'clock Saturday morn
ing, when Rev. James Works, her
husband, who slept in an adjoining
room, called his wife for breakfast.
Receiving no response, after repeat
ed attempts, Rev. Works forced open
the door leading to his wife's room
and was Mortified to find his wife
cold in death. Finger prints on her
throat indicated how she had met her
death. When the Rev. Mr.. Works To-
Gated his son, who a year ago was
released from the asylum at Lexing.
ton, and questioned him about the af-
fair, he says his son admitted he en-
tered his mothers room and choked
her TO death. He had been acting
strangely for some time. Rev. Works
is at a loss to understand how he
was not awakened by the trouble.
James Works, the self-confessed
murderer Of his mother, is being
closely guarded by neighbors Of the
Works family.

herd BY W. S. Van Malta & Son.

herd by w. 5. Van Malta q Son.
When this great Beau Brummel-
type bull is finished he will tread the
tanbark with something like 1900
pounds, and the quality, character
and coat that a great Hereford bull
should have will not be lacking. Fair
fax Knight is a two-year-old by Mr..
Cooks champion bull, Fairfax 10th,
from a Beaumont dam, a dark col
orcd bull Of good style and much
substance. The sons of Woodford
from two years old to six months
calves are coming strong and true.
But we are inclined to believe Wood
ford 9th is the greatest Roman of
them all. He is a short junior year-
ling, but he is wonder. Among
the so young bulls on the farm, rep
resenting different sires, there is so
much of it that is really highclass
herdheading and showyard material
that one begins to ponder and won
der from where did they all come.
There is always a reason. At Here
ford Farms there are two reasons.
First the bulls, second the greatest
herd of cows that ever graced
Hereford breeders pasture. Quality
and quantity without end is the cas-
lest way, to express it.
"Only unlimited means and gray
matter could congregate and match
up such magnificent types Of meaty,
milky matrons and maintain the high
standard of excellence that perme
ates Col Taylor's herd in such num-
bers. Then the good two-year-old
and yearling heifers are coming on
to increase the herd and only the
best by test will be maintained. The
females intended for exhibition under
the master hand of Geo. Queerie are
all on their feet and on their feed in
beautiful bloom for July. The I'M
ported COW, Give Iris Sd and Ma
trOn Donald will sustain the reputa- !
ton Of Hereford Farms in the COW
classes. Juliet, last wears grand !
champion, and Bonnie Lass are rails
ing calves cut in the pasture, the i'm
ported cows calf being weaned to
give her a chance to make a ton COW,
Matron Donald is only a few pounds
behind her. The Woodford and Gay |
Lad heifers seen last season will |
come again, except Miss Woodford, |
the Atlanta champion. AS two
year-old she is nursing a fine heifer
calf and doing it well. With mate
rial a-plenty in heifer calves to pick
from, Manager J. c. Kinzer should |
have no difficulty in turning out |
three great herds from Hereford |
Farms for the 1917 campaign"

.BARONS WILL MEET
 VOLS TODAY; RALPH COMST0CK ID QUIT
Valued Hurler Is Playing His Last Year in Pro- fessional Ranks, He
 Says

Moley and II of his Barons left last night about midnight for Nashville, where they clash with the Vols this afternoon in the final game of the sea- son between the two teams. Pitchers Karl Black and Markus Milligan were taken on the trip.
 Milligan will probably be sent to the mound with Red Smith handling his slants.
 The Atlanta Crackers open here Mon day for four games. Elmer Ponder will probably open against the Crackers, with Sheehan or Fullenwilder hurling for the Crackers.
 Ralph Comstock, one of Moley's best pitchers, announced yesterday that after the completion of the present sea- son he would quit baseball. Commy's announcement was quite a surprise, both to members of the team and other friends.
 Comstocll lives in Toledo, Q. He op- crates talking machine business probably the largest in Toledo. He has been in baseball for 12 years.
 He came to the Barons this year from Louisville of the American association. He has proved to be one of the Barons' most consistent winners He is mar ried and resides in West End. Rusty Bacon, who was purchased by the Athletics several weeks ago from the Lookouts, has been returned to El- berfeld He was supposed to join the Loolzouts yesterday but had not ar rived before the team departed for Memphis.

for years one of the most famous or
 the American wrestlers, had been chosen to be the third man in the ring and had accepted.
 The match will be staked at the Jet- ferson theatre on the night of Septem Der 5. Labor Day, and will settle the present dispute between Zbyszko and
 Lewis as to the championship of the world.
 The selection of Dr. Roller to referee the match will probably be hailed with delight by southern wrestling fans and particularly tTose in Birmingham where the famous physician is prime favor te. With Roller as the third man in
 the ring, all anxiety as to the official part of the match is set at rest Dr. Roller was suggested to Jack Cur ley, manager for Zbyszko, and to w. B. Sandow, manager of Lewis, when it seemed that a deadlock over the nam-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-08-26

ing of a referee was inevitable but his name was hailed with enthusiasm by both men. pr. Roller is regarded as an
 ideal man for the referees job and will keep the wrestler right in line and on their toes at all stages of the game.
 With the consent of the wrestlers ob- tained, 1t was necessary to secure pr. Roller for the match and this, too. pre- sented difficulties, as Dr. Roller Is in wide demand as a wrestler and in addi- ton has a large practice in New York, which it is hard for him to leave. An ex- change of telegrams, however resulted in his consenting to referee the match. pr. Roller gave as one of his principal reasons for agreeing to work his desire to witness the battle between the two premier wrestlers of the world.
 With the selection of referee the last of the details of the match over which trouble. was feared has been dis posed Of and MT. Parkes is now in a po- sition to proceed without fear of com pleations.
 The seat sale for the match starts 1, promptly at 9 o'clock Monday morning
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-08-26

and from advanced inquiries, it is pre- dicted that a line will be necessary to begin with. MT. Parks, to guard against ticket speculation, and to assure fair distribution of tickets, has announced that only eight tickets for the match vii be sold to each person unless he is personally known to the management. The mail orders received during the last
 week have indicated the widespread in- terest in the match as they have come from all over the state and several adjoin- ing states. The mail order sale was much heavier than was anticipated and q. tre- mendous scramble for seats is anticipat- ed when the box office is' opened. | Carpenters Friday began work of con- i structing extra seats on the stage of the | Jefferson theatre to accommodate the crowd which will want a close view of the two great athletes in action. A special mat is also being constructed for | this match and every effort will be made l to have all mechanical conditions for the match in perfect shape
 | An unusual feature of the advance sale through the mails is the number of tickets disposed of to ladies who have l become enthusiastic over the wrestling l matches which have been presented
 here.
