TWO CAUGHT IN POLICE DRAG
NET.

James Ford, colored, arrived in
Paris, recently with larger con-
signment of liquor than the law al
lowed. Jim evidently feared the
anti-shipping bill was to take effect
at once, and accordingly laid in a
good supply, consisting of forty-seven
pints of the brand that makes one
either king or a dreamer. Patrol
man George Judy also was in TAX
ing mood as James hove in sight and
placed him under arrest. Judge
Ernest Martin wrote the last chapter
when he fined Ford $50 and gave him
"a sentence of twenty days in Jail.
James is now somewhere in the

IN THE SERVICE OF THEIR
COUNTRY.

A large silk service flag, in honor
of the North Middletown boys who
are enlisted in the army and navy,
was unfurled and dedicated with ap-
propriate ceremonies at the North
Middletown Christian church.
Mr.. Brown Buchanan, of Clinton
vile, has enlisted in the army service
with the DR.. Barrow Base Hospital
Unit No. 40, and has Joined the Unit
in their quarters at Camp Zachary
Taylor.
The soldier boys in the various can
tonments throughout the United
States are always glad to get the
newspapers. This is especially true
of the Paris and Bourbon county
county boys. They all go after THE
NEWS like a hungry man after hot
cakes (and THE NEWS is going to a
large number of the bOys.) A post
card to Mr.. John f. Owens, of THE
NEWS force, from Corporal Teddy
Shannon, in the army aviation camp
near Waco, Texas, says:
81 surely do enjoy THE NEWS
very much, and certainly would hate
to be without it. / heard Brooks
Woodford was in Waco, but have not
seen him as yet. We had good
rain here last week, the first one in
eighteen months. The weather is
warming up, and we hope we will
not be here when summer comes"

LEXINGTON WINS HIGH SCHOOL
BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

The Lexington High School i've
came out winners of the High School
State basketball tourna ment held
in Danville, Friday and Saturday.
The games which told the story were
played Friday with Somerset and
Monticello. Monticello proved easy,
but the victory over the Somerset
team was won by the narrow margin
of 16 to Is.
The cup won had been, held last
year by Owensboro. That city was
not represented in the tournament
this year, Covington taking its place.
The seven High Schools participating
were Paris, Covington, Danville,
Lawrenceburg, Lexington, Monte
cello and Somerset.
Paris played three games, winning
over Covington and Lawrenceburg,
both by the same score, A to Is.
They were defeated, however, By
Somerset, the score being 20 to IL.
Owing to the fact that there was
an odd number of teams entered. it
was necessary for some one to draw
the odd game at first, and thus be
handicapped throughout the tourna-
ment Unfortunately Paris was the
one to draw the odd game, and this
placed them against the strong team
from Somerset on Friday afternoon
for a game which did not count In
the tournament, but which was Ia
tiguing and helped to sap some Of
the surplus energy that might havc
been used to good advantage later.
The members OF the Paris team
were enthusiastic over their treat
ment by the students Of Centre Col
lege and the people Of Danville.
They enjoyed their trip to the very
fullest, even If they did return with
ont the coveted Gun

VOLUME XXXVII
WINCHESTER VISITEDBY WORST
DISASTER IN YEARS

Our neighboring city of Winches
ter was visited about eight o'clock
Saturday night by what will probab-
ly for many years be known as the
worst disaster in the history of that
progressive city. Twelve persons were
instantly killed, and twenty-five were
seriously injured when the walls of
the Luman building adjoining, which
had just passed through disastrous
fire, caved in on the Pastime Thea
ire, next door.
The dead are A. Field, aged sixty
five, a brother of Mr.. David Field, of
Paris; Houston Mole, 21; Geo. Fris-
by, IL; Houston Frisby, 8; Robert
Baber, 80; Jesse Adams, 10; Andrew
Heeney, IL; Tommy Thomas, II;
Rosa Spears, II; Russell Smith, IL;
Coleman Slinchman, small boy.
The first show at the Pastime,
which is moving picture house, had
just started, with a VIM. S. Hart
picture featured, and the house was
comfortably filled with men, women
and children. Without warning
there was a terrific crash, as the
freseared walls over the rear of the
building came tumbling down, torn
by a high wind, crashing through
the roof in front of the screen, and
pinning beneath it more than one
hundred of the audience. Almost
Immediately crowds on the streets
and many who were waiting in line
in front of the ticket Office rushed
frantically to telephones to call for
aid and then back to the theatre to
lend their individual assistance.
Soon there was crowd sufficient to
begin tearing away the debris and
pieces of roof from beneath which
the dead and injured were removed,
the former being taken to the local
undertakers, and the latter to the
Clark County Hospital. Every physi-
clan in Winchester was called to the
scene and messages were sent to
Lexington, Mt. Sterling and Paris for
physicians and nurses, which met
with instant response.
Representatives of the State Fire
Marshal's Office from Lexington and
Frankfort arrived in Winchester yes
terday and will conduct searching
investigation and FIX responsibility
for the disaster where it belongs
Minor & Bloomfield, owners and op-
orators of the Pastime Theatre, claim
that permission had been given them
by Mayor Scrivner and Councilman
Wheeler, in spite OF the danger of the
wall falling in. Mayor ScriveneI
denies this. The investigation will
determine who is right.
At mass meeting at the Winches
ter court house $500 was raised fol
relief work and burial of the victims
most of whom were from poor FAM
lilies. An additional $500 was raised
among the churches of Winchester.
The condition of Mrs. Robert Ba-
Der, whose husband was killed in the
crash, is regarded as the most serious
of those who are in the Clark County
Hospital. Many of those whose in
juries were not OF a serious nature
have left the hospital and returned
TO their homes. 1t is believed there
will be no new names to be added tt
the death list, as the patients are al
doing well.
