ODD FELLOWS TO CONTRIBUTE

of this city, has always. led in the
Christmas offerings for the Orphans

for the pleasure of giving plan for
the orphans this Christmas.
Joy bells are ringing this year be-
cause there is peace again on earth
and democracy and freedom have
won the most notable victory in the
history of Christendom. So let US
make it possible that this Christmas
be the most joyful one that the orr
phans of the deceased brothers have
ever had. Every Odd Fellow and
their friends are to be asked to do
their little bit, and not wait to be
solicited. Just hand your contribu=
lions to Mayor E. b. January, or you
can drop it through the hole in the
window at the store of January &
Connell, where it will be taken care
of.
. There are now one hundred and
fifty bright children in the Orphans
Home. The influenza ban was placed
ON the Home for four weeks because
one hundred and five of the number
had the influenza. This made 1t a
heavy expense on the institution be-
cause of the necessity for getting
competent nurses. There were no
deaths. Now, let every Odd Fellow
be as liberal as his means will per-
nit and help to make happy Christ

PARIS WOMAN ELECTRICUTED
BY LIVE WIRE SHOCK.

While en- route to her home en-
Stoner avenue, Wednesday night,
about $50 o'clock, Mrs. Eta Insko
Curtis, wife of Mr.. Henry C. Curtis,
was instantly killed when she &C
cidentally touched live" electric
light wire on a telephone pole.
Mrs Curtis had been on a shop
ping tour, and on her way home,
stopped to talk with a neighbor, Mrs.
Preston See, who resides just across
the street. When she started to
cross the street she took hold of an
iron spike driven into a pole of the
Home Telephone Co., which had a
loose wire crossed with a high VOLT
age electric light wire, both wires
being on the same pole.
Mrs. Curtis and Mrs. See had been
standing close to the pole while they
were talking. When Mrs. Curtis
hand came in contact with the iron
spike the resulting shock caused her
to stagger and throw both arms
around the pole, sinking to the
ground. Mrs. See hastily summoned
aid from nearby workmen. Mrs.
Curtis was carried to her home, and
physicians summoned. The pulmoter,
a life-saving device, was applied,
but the unfortunate woman was be-
yond earthly aid.
Besides her husband, Mr.. Henry
G.. Curtis, she is survived by three
sons. Sergt. Maj. Earl Curtis, who is
in France as member of the Amer
lean Expeditionary Force, and En-
met Curtis and Elmer Curtis, of
Paris.
Coroner Rudolph Davis conducted
an investigation yesterday after
noon at three o'clock at the court
house. Several witnesses were ex-
amined, who told of circumstances
connected with the happening. The
Jury, composed of Frank p. Lowry,
foreman, ]. T. Tucker, John l..
Soper, H. M. Collins, A. L. Boatrlght
and F. B. Thomas, rendered the fol-
lowing verdict:
I'VE. the jury, find that Mrs.
Henry c. Curtis came to her death
by coming in contact with live
wire on a pole owned by the Home
Telephone Company. We also IND
criminal negligence on the part OF
some one, which the jury, from the
evidence before, us, is unable to
place.
The funeral will be held at two
O'Clock this (Friday) afternoon with
services conducted at the grave In
the Paris Cemetery by Rev. Geo. H.
Combs. The pall-bearers Will be

Capt. Reuben B. Hutchcraft, Jr., Makes the
Supreme Sacrifice for His Country.
One of Bourbons Favorite Sons is Killed in Action
in the Great World War For Democracy

After weeks of anxious inquiries to
the War Department and through
other and more private sources, DUR
ing which time the hearts of friends
and relatives alternated between
hope and fear, official tidings at last
came to Paris of the fate of one of it's
gram from the War Department
Tuesday night to Mr.. R. B. Hutch
craft, of Paris, told of the death of
his son, Capt. Reuben B. Hutchcraft,
Jr., as follows:
Washington, D. c., 12-10-191S.
Mr.. R. B. Hutchcraft,
"135 Houston Avenue,
Paris, KY.
Deeply regret to inform you that
Captain Reuben r. Hutchcraft,
Junior, Infantry, is officially repnrt-
ed as killed in action November six.
HARRIS, The Adj't Genl."
For weeks relatives and friends Of
the valiant young Bourbon county
soldier tortured by the silence that
attended their efforts to get news Of
his probable fate, hoped against hope,
and finally became convinced that
bad news lay behind the wall of ST.
lence. Although in way prepared
the coming of the telegram Tuesday
night, cast a gloom over the commu-
nifty, as the sad news went with the
rapidity of lightning from one to an
other.
Capt. Hutchcraft was thirty-two
years old and had been resident OF
Paris all his life. He studied in the
schools of Paris and attended Tran
sylvania University and the Univer-
sity of Kentucky, graduating with
high honors. He made an especially
fine record in the School of Law at
the University of Kentucky, and af-
ter graduation was selected to deliver
course of lectures on law to the
new classes, in which duty he won
additional honors. He also gradual
ed at Harvard, where he won the
honors due to an earnest student.
Returning to Paris he became inter
ested in politics. He was a member
of the Kentucky Legislature, in
which he served for two terms, de-
clining the nomination for a third
term, in order to take care of profit
able legal business. During his terms
in the Legislature he framed and
successfully engineered the passage
and enactment into law of the
Hutchcraft Sunday closing law and
other legal measures. He was ap-
pointed in 1917 as a member OF the
State Tax Commission by Governor
Stanley. The present State tax law
was largely the result of his Efforts
He had given the subject of taxation
much thought and the knowledge
thus gained was of invaluable ser
vice to the Commission in its labors
| Personally he was one of the most
popular young men in the county AND
had friends who admired him for his
brilliant qualities of mind and heart
and to whom the sad news OF MS
death in PARKWAY France came like
a thunderstroke. He absorbed an6
assimilated knowledge with readi,
ness that stood him in good stead
when the occasion came to use 1t. Ht
was a fluent and most interesting
lconyersationalist, a learned attorney
and. although only thirty-two years
Iold. had won a high position as
