Paris staged one scene of a tragedy
which had its beginning in Licking
ton, Wednesday night, when one of
the bandits who held up a grocery
man and murdered a Lexington po-

lice force was shot and killed shortly
past seven o'clock Wednesday night

In Lexington, by one of two men who

soon as he was informed that Murphy
had been arrested he admitted that
he was Murphy and that the man ar
rested in Lexington was in reality

first draft in 1917 from the Indiana
Reformatory at Jacksonville, Ind

BOURBON DEMOCRATS CONFI.
DENT AND OPTIMISTIC.

Optimism is the prevailing feature
of the Democratic campaign in this
city and county, with County Chair
man Will G.. McClintOck making the
prophecy that Bourbon will roll up
a handsome old-time majority for the
Senatorial and Congressional candi-
dates at the election Tuesday. Chair
man McClintock estimates conserva-
lively a majority ranging from 400 to
500 in the county for the Democratic
ticket.
A force of clerks have been busy at
headquarters mailing to all the DEM
ocratic voters in the city and counay
communications urging them to be
isure to go to the polls on Tuesday and
back up President Wilson with their
votes. The envelopes also carried a
copy of President Wilson's appeal to
the nation to stand by his administra-
ton and keep behind him a Demo-
cratic Congress. About 5000 of
these letter were folded, placed in en-
velopes, addressed and mailed Wed
nesday.
Chairman McClintock, in a state.
ment given out to the press, said:
"The apathy that has prevailed
among the voters, largely due to the
influenza situation and the fact that
the farmers are busy with their to-
bacco and corn crops has given way
| to a livelier feeling, and the stirring
appeal of President Wilson has GER
ltainly. warmed them up to a realiza-
ton of their duty. The prospect GER
tainly looks good for the success OF
the ticket in the city and county
and you know old Bourbon never does
anything halfway at all, at any
| time"
