Herring, of Hustonville, were here
Thursday morning returning from
Rockcastle county, where they had
been to trail the man who had killed
6. X. Singleton. some ~ miles out in
he country from Mt. Vernon. They
only took one dog with them but it
did the work quickly and well. The
trail was soon picked up and the ca
vine went directly to the house where
Marion Durham was He had already
been suspected and he was taken to
the NJ. Vernon jail Charles Thomp-
son had already been jailed on the
charge Of participating in the killing.
Durham was moving his uncle's furni-
ture from house belonging to Sin

JUDGE W. M. MYERS NO MORE

The news Of the death of Judge
William NJ. Myers, Of Hustonville, will
cause sorrow wherever the splendid
gentleman was known. A good citi-
zen, splendid gentleman, a model
husband and devoted father, he was
admired by all who had the good for
tune to know him. His death occurred
at Liberty at noon Wednesday and
his burial took place in the Huston
vile Cemetery at 10 O'Clock this
morning, after brief services by his
pastor, DR.. A. II. Baugh. Judge Ny
ers had gone to Liberty to spend a
few days with the relatives and
friends of his younger days and was
stricken while there. For many years
he had been a sufferer from Bright's
disease. His popularity is shown to
slight extent by his election to the
county judgeship Of Casey, when that
county was even more overwhelming
ly republican than now. Since his re-
moval to Lincoln county ne had taken
an active hand in politics. His support
meant a great deal to the democratic
aspirant for office and il was sought
by many WHO asked political prefer
ment in this county. Judge Myers
married daughter of Winston Bow
man, of Liberty, and his widow and
two sons, Lieut.. Carlisle Myers, at
Southern camp, and Bowman Myers,
with DR.. Barrow's unit in England,
survive the good man. His death has
cast a gloom over the West End.
Business was at standstill during
his burial, the whole town turning
out to pay their last tribute to the
friend, who was friend indeed.

THURMAN X. TUDOR DEAD

Few deaths that have occurred in
this section in years have caused more
genuine sorrow than that Of Thur
man X. Tudor, which occurred at
o'clock Wednesday morning. He had
been i'll Of influenza which went
into pneumonia, and having a weak
heart, much uneasiness was felt con-
corning him from the start. For near

death, but just as the new day was

THE burial occurred in Buffalo
Springs Cemetery at $3.50 Thursday
afternoon in the presence of one Of
the largest gatherings in that city Of
the dead in long time. Revs. II. J.
Brazelton and w. ID. Welburn each
made an appropriate, but brief talk
at the grave. "Some Day Wen I'm

was sung by quartette Of his friends

over to the Masons, of which frater-
nal order he was an honored mem
Der Deceased was a son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. u. b. Tudor. formerly of this
county, but now residing at Green

life had been spent in this county, and
he was 30 years old in August last.
He had for long time been not only
a member but an officer in the Stan
ford Christian church, had large
and interesting Sunday school class,
and was indeed one Of the best work
ers Of that large congregation. No
cleaner, better christian gentleman
has lived in this section in many de-
cades, and his death is a distinct loss
to the city and community. A splen-

mark and good God called him to

married to Miss Pearl Fields, who
with the little daughter mentioned
above, survive him. The widow and
orphan are left lonely and desolate
in their great sorrow but they weep
not alone. Unbounded sympathy goes
out to them. the aged father and mo-

JAMES ANDERSON DEAD

The heavy hand of sorrow and
death has been laid on the family of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry c. Anderson and
in their great loss and trouble every
heart in this entire section goes out
to them in unbounded sympathy. For
weeks from one to a half dozen of
that good family have been i'll with the
influenza, and on Wednesday morn
ing between midnight and one O'Clock.
James Anderson, aged 16, was called
to the land where there is no sorrow
and no death. The fine young man had
been i'll for some time and his phys
cal condition had become so frail that
It could not stand the ravages of the
fearful epidemic and his life paid the
forfeit. His burial occurred in Buffa-
10 Springs Cemetery at $50 Thursday
afternoon after brief services at the
grave by Rev. II. j. Brazelton. The
following of his young friends acted
as pall-bearers: Howard Brazelton,
Ir., James Bailey, Mike McCarty. Fred
McCarty, Joe Grimes and Powell Wi
theirs. A large crowd attended the bu-
rial and beautiful flowers brought by
many friends. Young Anderson joined
the Christian church when mere
child and was most excellent boy in
every way. 1t is indeed sad that he was
cut down so early in life, when the
years that are to come seemed to have
held so much for him.
