NOTES FROM AMERICAN LAKE

dustrial grounds He will drill oil
wells near his home city.
Direct from the trenches of the
western front is Adjt. George Brizou,
here today to instruct Sammies at
Camp Lewis in the finer points of the
war game.
Adjt Brizou wears golden sleeve
bands, Indicating three years service
at the front. He has been wounded
twice.
Men are frightened when they are
under shell fire for the first time"
he said today. But the fear soon
wears Off Trench fighting is really
not dangerous-at least, not as dan
gerous as the people in this country
seem to think. If soldier in trench
service is careful, there is no more
reason why he should be wounded
than the soldier in any other kind of
fighting"

RECRUITING PARTY HERE

Monday afternoon this city was
visited by about 36 members of the
Second and Third Kentucky Regi-
ments who came to this city in Ford
army trucks on recruiting duty. At
l 80 o'clock a meeting was held in
the Court House and a fair-sized
crowd was present. The soldiers
were accompanied by the Second
Kentucky band which played a num-
Der Of patriotic airs. The meeting
was opened by DR.. w. R. Thompson,
who made splendid talk and AID
vised every young man TO offer his
services to his government as he
had done, and pleaded with the
young manhood of Montgomery
county to volunteer and not wait to
be drafted. After DR.. Thompson's
brief remarks and q selection by
the band, Mayor C. X. Oldham ten
dered his services to the govern
ment in any way he might be
needed, and introduced Major Den
hart, of the Third Kentucky, whose
home is at Bowling Green. Major
Denhart delivered the principle talk
Of the afternoon and urged all true
blooded Kentuckians to join the
colors at once and not wait to be
conscripted. He stated that Ken
lucky was next to the last State in
the Union in the number of recruits
furnished for the war and that
the only State Kentucky surpassed
was Ohio, which has a 60 per cent.
foreign population. He further
stated that Breathitt county was
once considered a disgrace to Ken
lucky, but within the past year
that county alone had furnished
1900 volunteers and he felt that
every red blooded Kentuckian
should feel proud that Breathitt
county is located on Kentucky soil
He further stated that if there even
was time in the history of the
Nation when these proud United
States needed men to defend its
honor, protect its women and chill
dren, and insure freedom and liberty
to the world it is now. In cOnclu-
sion he said, "WhO would ever have
thought that KentuckianS would
have to be begged to join the colors
and help defend our nations honor
But yet, that is my mission
here today" After Major Den
harris remarks Il demonstration of
the Lewis machine gun was given
and then recruits were called for
but so far as we could learn none
responded. About 3 o'clock the
company proceeded on its way to
Owingsville, Sharpsburg, Maysville
and other points.

SHOT BY HIS BROTHER.
Senator Husting, according to his
brother, Peter, had planned two
weeks hunting trip from Washington
and requested that four of his broth
ers arrange their business SO that one
could be with him, and it fell to the
lot of Gustave to be his companion on
Sunday. The two we're shooting out
of the same blind The senator dis
covered eight mallards flying in the
direction favorable to Gustave and
signalled to him to shoot. Gustave
discharged his gun just as the sena-
tor moved to an upright position in
his boat and the charge penetrated the
senator's back under the left shouldeE
blade, some OF the pellets piercing the
Left lung.
sDID BEST I KNEW"
<'You shot me-" cried the senator to
his brother. Gustave hurriedly rowed
to the senator's boat, got himself and
the senator ashore and tried to stop
the flow Of blood.
The injured man was hurried to q
farm house and physicians were SUM
moned.
mo use sending for doctors; Pm
done for" said the senator. "Teli
them did the best knew how"
BLAMED SELF FOR DEATH.
Senator Husting remained con-
scious until 7:15. He talked about
the accident and seemed to think he
himself was to blame. Physicians
arrived from Ripon and administered
morphine to allay the pain but said 1t
was only question of short time
before the end would come.
The senator is survived by six
brothers and one sister.

The two others were John A. Ayl-
ward. United States district attorney
