GROVER MORGAN MAY BE RE-
TURNED TO BOURBON.

Grover Morgan, smooth man and
all-around self-confessed bad man,
who was arrested in Maysville last
week on robbery charge, will
likely be turned over to the Bourbon
county officials, where he is wanted
on charges of being fugitive from
justice, jail-breaking and on an in
dictment charging him with grand
larceny.
Morgan was classed as Stacker
for having failed to report to the
Mason County Board of Exemption
when his name was called for mill
tary examination. He was reported
to the Mason County Board, and the
officers signified their willingness to
turn him over to the Federal au-
thorities if they desired his return.
1t developed, however, that Morgan
was in the Bourbon county Jail at
the time the call was issued, and,
therefore, could not answer his call,
and it is doubtful as to whether or
not the Federal authorities will want
him because of this.
The Bourbon county authorities
are very anxious for the young man
to be turned over to them, which
will be done as soon as Chief
Mackey hears from the Government
authorities as to what they will do
with their claim on him.

ANOTHER ROW 0VER'
WILSON'S GAS TANK.

Some few weeks ago Mayor Bowen
arrested and fined Harry Wilson, pro-
prietor of Fairmont avenue garage,
for having, contrary to law, a large gas
oline tank on the street Wilson paid
and appealed the case and took the
pump down. The City Board of At
fairs was then asked by the Standard
Garage, o. C. Blatt, Harry Wilson and
some oilers to enact lays permitting
the pumps to remain on the street. In
answer to this Ira Smith, Manager
Bury, Of the Standard Garage, and W..
A. Wiedebusch were appointed a COM
mittee to investigate the matter. In
the meantime Wilson put up a larger
pump. Today at the city hall shortly
afternoon, Mayor Bowen said to Com
missioner Lehman:
II give you, as street commissioner,
authority to clear the street Of that OBJ
struction."
"But, Mayor, you fined the man, the
man has again violated the law Of this
city, eve natter being fined and told
that pump standing on the street is
against the law. The pump he has put
up was in defiance Of you and your de-
partment."
"That's true" said the Mayor, but
think the pumps ought to stay there,
that traffic will suffer If they DON'T and
/ have no authority to tear the obstruc-
ton down."
"You are the executive head Of this
city, you are entrusted with seeing that
