where the nearest city was located,
He was told about Maysville being
only few miles away but the man did
not seem to want to go to Maysville,
but, on the other hand, wanted to
learn its location so as to evade it.
He said he had crossed the river at
Hi yginsport and was trying to find his
way to the Virginia line. When he left
the Sutton home he kept to the hills
milking his way toward Germantown.
tt e man looked to be about five feet

WlLLET WAVES EXAMINATION.
ON LARCENY CHARGES
Man Charged With Stealing Merchan-
disc In Transit From G. & o. Rail-
road Company Goes Directly
Before the Grand Jury.

The examining trial of Arthur Will
lett, of South Ripley, who was arrest
ed a few days ago charged with hav-
ing stolen freight from the porch of
the South Ripley Station of the c. &
o. railroad company, was called in
Squire Fred w. Bauer's court this af-
ternoon.
Willett said he was not guilty of the
charge but that he did not desire an
examining trial and would waive ex-
animation and let his case go directly
to the Grand Jury which will be in
session on December 30.
Squire Bauer fixed Willett's bail at
$500 which he was unable to give and
he was returned to Jail to await the
meeting of the Grand Jury.
Efforts of detectives and consables
to link others with Willett in the al
legged robbery at South Ripley have up
to the present time been unsuccessful
but the officers still think there are
others implicated in the robbery and
the case is still being investigated.

MEMBERS COUNCIL
May Be ORGANIZED BY
commerce CHAMBER
Interesting Meeting Of c. Of C. Direc-
tors Held--Weekly Social Meets
Proposed - 5. T. Browning
Named National Rep
resentatlye.

The newly elected Board of Dlrec-
tors of the Chamber of Commerce held
their first meeting in the office We'd
nesday afternoon.
A communication from former
Judge Rice was presented to the Board
in which he called their attention to
the fact that in the thirty-five years he
had been shipping cattle, by river, he
had experienced his first trouble on
the goth of November, and it was of
such an important and expensive ma
ture, that he felt some action should
be taken by the Chamber of Commerce
The Secretary was instructed to bring
Greenline Boat Co. in an endeavor to
secure better service for the shippers
at this point. Numerous complaints
have been received of late and the
shippers all feel that the amount of
business given the Greenline Company
at the Maysville wharf, deserves bet
ter service than has. been given.
The Board of Directors attention
was also called to the fact that many
Chambers of Commerce in other cities
are planning Home Coming Demon
stration for the returned soldiers. Up
on motion the Board went on record
| in favor of a Home Coming Demon
stration for the Mason county soldiers
that have returned, at Beechwood
Park on the 4th of July.
A communication was presented
from the Chamber of Commerce of the
U. S. A. requesting the organization to
appoint the National Council to repre-
sent the interests of the Maysville
Chamber Of Commerce Upon instruc-
! ton of the Board, President Cochran
appointed Mr.. s. P. Browning to this
office.
President Cochran informed the
Board that sufficient members had not
been received during the recent cam
raign and suggested that another
campaign be put on in the near future
This met the hearty approval of the
Board, and the Secretary was instruct
ed to communicate with the American
City Bureau and learn if their assist
ance could be secured.
| Discussion ensued relative to Great
ing more social activity within the or
ganization. One of the members of the
Board suggested that the Members
Council be revived which works
on the same plan as the Rot
airy Club, with the exception that
1t is more representative of the bust
ness interests, and the representatives
are only elected for the fiscal year.
The members council supplies the So
cial need of the organization, fur
nishes greater inspiration to the men,
bers and suggestions to the Board of
Directors. The Constitution and By
| Laws of the Chamber of Commerce
places the management of the Mem
bers' Council in the hands of the Vice
President, and Vice President George
Dodson realizes the opportunity for
the Members Council in doing an i'm
portant part of the Chamber of Com
merce work.
