Litigation to Break II Has
Been Dismissed in Circuit
Court.
CHILDREN'S PLAYGROUND
Is Now Assured and City VIII.
Soon Inherit The Estate
of $40, 900.

A surprise was sprung in Circuit
Court Thursday morning when the
suit of Mrs. Sadie Wilgus Yeager
and others to break the will of the late
w. A. Wilgus was dismissed on no
ton of the plaintiffs without prejudice
and at their own costs. A large num-
Der of witnesses had been summoned
for the trial of the case next Monday
Mr.. Wilgus died Nov |, 1914, and
in his will left his entire estate Of $685.
600 to $40, 900 to his friend ThOs- w
Long during his lifetime, and al his
death it was to go to the City OF Hop
kinsville, to provide playground for
children. Mr.. Long died three weeks
after Mr.. Wilgus and his brother,
Geo. c. Long, was appointed admin
istrator and will now proceed to wind
up the estate and turn it over to the
city.
The plaintiffs were none of them
near relatives. Cousins of the same
degree proved to be numerous and
widely scattered, and the suit to bs-eak
the will was confronted by many Diff
culties, since if the will was once set
aside many relatives would have to-
be sought out to participate in the dis
tribution, although they had borne
none of the expense. The plaintiffs
all being strangers had no local SYM
pathy in their movement, especially
when there were intimations that Il
would be sought to question the san-
ity of Mr.. Wilgus. Still it was believ-
ed that the case would be fought oE1t
in the courts and business men i'm
large numbers were ready to testify
for the city. 1t is happy solution OF
the matter that the litigation is Ia trs
avoided.

Nearly a Million Pounds Of
Tobacco Sold on The
Loose Floors.
NEARING 10000, 900 MARK
Most Successful Season Hop
kinsville Market Has
Ever Had.

Sales on the loose floors this week
were 1851, 430 pounds, or about 140,-
600 pounds day. The total receipts
are now nearing 100000 pounds,
the estimated amount for loose floor

estimates were that at least rs per
cent of the crop had been sold pri-
vately. II this is a true estimate, the
total deliveries in Hopkinsville will
reach 100000 pounds. Much of
this tobacco of course comes from
surrounding counties, a good deal OF
It from Tennessee. The price paid
will net the farmers $40, making a

CHAPTER xIl--continued.


But when ne opened his eyes later,
and with clearer head, he found food
and drink near. Unable to believe his
sight, he fancied his wavering senses
deceiving him, until he put out his
hand and felt actually the substance
of what he saw. He took up bottle
of milk incredulously, and slipped at it
with the caution of man not unused
to periods of starvation. He broke
eggs and swallowed them, at intervals,
hungrily from the shell; and meat he
cached, animal-like, in nearby cram
MES, and, manlike, in his pockets.
He was determined, if she should
come again, to intercept his visitor.
For forty-eight hours he tried cat-naps
with an occasional sandwich to keep
up his strength. Nan returned IN
seen, and disappeared despite his
watchfulness. A new supply of food
proved she had been near, but that it
would be hard to time her coming.
When she did come, the third time,
an innocent snare discovered her pres
ence. 1t was just before day, and De
Spain had so scattered small obstacles
--handfuls of gravel and little chips of
rock--that should she cross the ledge
in the dark she could hardly escape
rousing him.
The device betrayed her. I'm
awake" announced De Spain at once
from his retreat. When she stopped
at the words he could not see her; she
had fattened herself, standing, against
a wall of the ledge. He waited pa
tiently. "You give me no chance to

Crossing a Deep River.

have given Nan much less anxiety
than De Spain secreted in the heart
of the Morgan stronghold. Her
troubled speculatlons were reduced
now almost to wondering when De
Spain would leave, and, disinclined
though she felt to further parley, She
believed he would go the sooner If she
were to consent to see him again.
That day Nan washed her hair. On
the second day she found herself de-
Gliding conscientiously to see De Spain
for the last time, and toward sunset.
She began dressing early for her trip,
picking the best of her limited stock
of silk stockings, choosing the freshest
of her few pairs of tan boots. All OF
her riding skirts looked shabby as she
fretfully inspected them; but Bonita
pressed out the newest one for the
hurried occasion, while Nan used the
interval, with more than usual care,
on her troublesome hair-nevcr less
tractable, 1t seemed, in her life.
De Spain was sitting with his back
against a rock, and the look on his
face was one of reflection and irresc-
luton rather than of action and de-
cision. But he looked so restored after

new AERIAL TORCH
Enables Scout to Make 0hserva-
tons at Night.
Capable Of Illuminating Battlefield
Protecting Itself, Finally ExpIod-
Ing With Terrific Effect

Prominent military officers have ex-
pressed their approval of a fiaring
torch, the late development Of a Texas
inventor. that is primarily designed to
enable an aerial scout to make obser-
vations behind enemy lines at night.
The instrument has number OF
ingenious features, and as a whole
tie earmarks Of being not only an eff
feetive. but also destructive wea-
pom. 1t is potentially capable of bril-
liantly illuminating a considerable
area of a battlefield for period of ten
minutes, formidably protecting itself
against disturbance in the meantime.
and finally exploding. destroying what
ever may be within 80 or 40 feet.
1t has three major parts. The base
consists of pointed cone that houses
a heavy bomb. On one side of this is
fixed a cylinder holding quantity Of
powder for printing purposes. At the
middle, radiating in all directions a
couple of feet from the bottom, are 80
rifle barrels arranged in tiers of seven.
Surmounting these is a tank c0ntain-
ing a special powder that gives off an
intense light when ignited. Gaping
the top is d parachute-shaped reflector
that serves the double function of
properly distributing the light rays
and in degree breaking the fall OF
the torch, which is supposed to be
dropped from an airplane.
In its present form the apparatus
weighs IS pounds, and it is estimated
that three or four like 1t could be con-
veniently carried by military bpIane-
AS needed, they would be released by
the observer so us TO strike desired
points within the enemy's lines. The
device is balanced SO that it falls point
down, and from an average height will
penetrate the ground for distance of
about foot, thus firmly anchoring IL
self.
The resulting impact discharges
percussion cap that ignites the cyiin-
der of printing powder. This touches
off the Illuminating substance and ig
mites a series of time fuses connecting
each of the rifles. While the torch
flares brightly, throwing its light in all
directions across field, the rifles dis
charge one after the other, making any
attempt to overturn it exceedingly
hazardous. AT the same time that
the light extinguishes itself fuse
leading to the bomb in the base is
lighted. I've explosion of the latter
demolishes the torch and does damage
to anything near 1T.

way of accent On the other apron
rosette of narrow satin ribbon looks
like blossom of some kind. whats
the use of being serious-minded2 say
tea aprons.
Sewing aprons are less trimmed
but are made of gayly lowered mate
rails. They are small and cut long
enough to be turned up at the bottom
to form pocket for thread, needles,
pins, scissors and other things. They
are also wide enough to lie fulIed on
narrow ribbon that ties them about
the waist, and are cut with square
corners. not rounded like the tea
aprons. Bright silks may be used for
them and neeGlework. In fancy
stitches in decorations, or small rib
bon flowers are pretty on them.
There is something charming about
these small belongings for home wear
that every woman may own. They
make always welcomed Christmas
gifts and are easy to make at home
and inexpensive, even when bought in
the shops, ready-made.
