THE EXEMPTION BOARD.

board members, the examining ply
stefan and the assistant clerks have
hied away to their accustomed pur-
suits, and only Clerk Coombs, max
ing some final tabulations, is ON deck.
For many weeks the board rooms
were a busy hive where young men
were coming in to be examined, or

ly Convicted.

After being out five hours, the jury
returned verdict at 11o'clock today
of guilty of manslaughter against
Mack Logan and Frank Tribble for
the murder of X. II. Keath, chief of
police at Dawson Spring, KY, July
10, 1916, and fixed their punishment
at two and one-half years in the pen
itentiary. At former trial Logan
was given Is years, Tribble three and
Constable Furgeson was acquitted.
At the time of the killing X. d.
Rodgers, who had been arrested by
Keath and served a Jail sentence, had
a warrant sworn out for Keath,
charging assault and battery. The
warrant was given to Constable Fur
gerson, who summoned Tribe, Lo-
gan and Rodgers to assist in making
the arrest. Rodgers is alleged to
have fired at Keath while the war
rant was being read, and the officer
drew his gun and killed Rodgers. Lo-
gan was alleged to have fired the shot
that killed Keath, while Tribble and
FurgersOn had their arms around the
officer, trying to take his gun from
him. He was shot in the back of the
head

NEGRO HOLDUP

Sunday night while returning from
church here, Cecil Daniel and
Everett Shaver, two young men liv-
ing near BENEFITS, east of town,
were heldup, so they alleged, and
robbed by Aaron Mosley, a negro
living in Hayti. According to the
young mems story they were on the
public highway near the cemetery
gate when they were accosted by
the negro who demanded two bits
each from them. They claim to
have told him they had no money,
but upon the negro making some
violent threats they gave him fifty
cents, when they were allowed to
proceed upon their way, The boys
came to town Monday and swore out
warrant for the negro's arrest. The
negro, Mosley, has heretofore born a
good reputation. He has been for
some time employd at the local
garage, and Mr.. Pate, the manager
says he had always found him relia-
BILE and trustworthy.

With smallpox prevalent in vari-

part of discretion for everybody who
has not been recently vaccinated to
have it done at once. 1t is the only
security against the spread of this
loathsome disease. County health

PERlLs OF BIRD SLAUGHTER
National Association Of Audubon So.
eieties Points Out Danger Of
Relaxed Game Laws.

New York.-Grave perils threaten
the agriculture Of the United States
through the indiscriminate slaughter
of birds and of wild life. according to
statement issued by the directors Of
the National Association. of Audubon
Societies.
Mr.. T. Gilbert Pearson. the secre-
tary Of the association, in making pub
lie resolutions adopted by the board
of directors. said that unless every ef-
fort is made to enforce all game pro-
lection laws. the resulting unrestrain-
ed activities of gunners and pot-hunt-
ers would soon destroy the natural
foes of insects and Of rodent pests and
Of weeds.
1.-THE crops will save the nation"
says the official statement, ''ande the
birds will help to save the crops" In
this national crisis, America is looked
upon by our allies as the granary Of
the world and the source of food
which must sustain the fighters in the
months of struggle yet to come. There.
fore every effort should be made to
increase the yield Of our fields.
''This association points to the grave
peril which attends the relaxing OF
the wise statutes enacted for con.
serving the wild life of this country,
which is more and more recognized
as an important economic factor"
