MAY HAVE A NEW DAM ON OLD
DAM SITE.

There is a probability of the differ
ent interests using the water in
Stoner Creek getting together at last
on the matter of replacing the pres
ent dam across Stoner at the Paris
Milling Co.'s plant with a concrete
structure of the most approved pat
tern.
1t was stated Saturday by a repre-
sentative of the Milling Company
that engineers had inspected the To-
cation, and the condition of the old
dam, and that plans would be made
soon for new structure, to be
erected at low water some time in
the fall. Extensive repairs are con-
templated on the old wooden dam as
soon as the stage of water will per-
nit. The new dam may not be plac-
ed in the same location as the pres
ent one, but will not be very fac
away.
Fishermen have expressed some
disapprobation of the bathing privil-
eyes being granted to youngsters at
the dam, but Mr.. Renick, needing
the call of his own youth, refuses to
interfere with the boys and girls
pleasures, telling the kickers there's
plenty of fish and water in other
parts of the creek. To all of which
we humbly subscribe.

JUDGMENT FOR
$4,000 STANDS
COURT OF APPEALS DENIES ARE
HEARING IN CASE OF HARRY
MITCHELL AGAINST L. & N.
RAILROAD.

A signal victory for local attorneys
who had worked on the case with all
their vigor, was won in the Court OF
Appeals at Frankfort, last week when
Mr.. R. c. Talbot, of the firm of Tai
bolt & Whitley, and also of the firm
of Talbot & Franklin, of Paris and
Lexington, received a message in
forming him that the Court had dis
missed the petition for a rehearing in
the case of Mr.. Harry Mitchell, OF
Paris, against the Louisville & Nash
vile Railroad Company.
About four years ago, Mr.. Mitchell,
then a freight conductor on the Lou
isville & Nashville road, was seriously
hurt in railroad accident, which &C.
CURED in the South Paris yards of
the L. & N. In the action for damage
which followed against the railroad
company Mr.. Mitchell obtained a
judgment for $4,000, which judg-
ment was later affirmed by the Court
of Appeals.
Mr.. Mitchell subsequently an
nounced in the Paris papers as a can
didate for the Democratic nomination
for. the Office of Police Judge of Paris.
The railroad company thereupon filed
a petition for a rehearing of the dam
age case, setting up the fact that Mr..
Mitchelrs injuries were not so seri-
Gus as shown in the proof in the
trial of the case against the railroad
company, and in support of their con
tention, filed in the Court a copy of
Mr.. MitchelPs card announcing his
candidacy for Police Judge of Paris,
setting out his qualifications for that
office. as proof that he was not per-
manently disqualified from making a
living by reason of his injuries. This
petition is the one which the Court
dismissed Friday, thereby scoring a
victory for Mr.. Mitchell and his attor-
neys. The judgment, together with
the penalty and interest, now
amounts to about $4,000.
The briefs in all cases were print
ed in THE NEWS job rooms. and en-
abled Messrs. Talbot, Whitley and
Franklin to handle the case with a
clearer understanding. also the Court
of Appeals. The Judgment, which Is
said to be the largest ever given in a
damage case in Bourbon county, is a
testimonial to the splendid ability
with which the case was handled for
Mr.. Mitchell

SPECIAL WEEK =.
FOR RECRUITING
JUNE % TO 80 SET ASIDE BY
PRESIDENT IN PROCLAMATION
AS A SPECIAL TIME FOR RE-
CRUITING REGULAR ARMY.

President Wilson has issued a
proclamation designating the weel.
of June 1880 as recruiting week for
the regular army and has called up
on unmarried men without depend
ents to enroll for war service in or
der that the ranks of the regulars
might be filled promptly. =
The proclamation follows:
Il hereby designate the period o.
June Fl to June 80 next, as recruit
ing week for the regular army and
call upon unmarried men between
the ages of Is and/40 years, who
have no dependents and who are not
engaged in pursuits vitality necessary
to the prosecution of the war, to
present themselves for enlistment
during the week herein designated,
to the number of 10000.
WOODROW WILSON"
The Presidents action was taken
at the request of army officials, who
have been concerned seriously over
the slow rate of recruiting for the
regular army despite the fact that
the War Departments recruiting
agencies cover every section of the
country and that men are asked ID
serve only for the period of the war
1t had been hoped that the regular
service could be brought to it's whole
war strength of approximately 300
600 men by June 80, which would
have permitted the War Department
to carry out its plans in regard to
the training of all the forces to be
raised, and also as to the dispatch of
armies to France. For several days,
however, the average enrolment for
the army per day has been little
more than 1000 men instead of s.
90 or more the department hoped to
secure.
