BYRON BOY IS
GIVEN ONE MORE
OPPORTUNITY
Boy With Five RObberies Charged
Against Him VIII Spend Month
On n Farm-Glyen One More
Chance to Make Good.

Edward Byron, the fourteen year
old lad who already has five bold day
light robberies to his credit, will be
given one more chance and his ac-
ton during the next month will de-
termine whether or not he will spend
the next several years or until he be-
comes of age in the State School of
Reform at Greendale.
Byron was given a hearing before
Juvenile Judge H. P. Purnell yester-
day afternoon. Like he has always
done, he made a clean breast of his
latest day light robbery at the Frank
Devine cigar store. He made no ex-
PLANTATION except that he lifted aside
the screen and entered through the
window stealing S145.
Mr.. Harry c. Curran was acting
County Attorney in the absence of
County Attorney Rees from the state
and stated that he certainly had a
puzzling case before him as to what
to recommend to the court. 1t was
finally learned that through the in
fluence of friends, Mr.. Thomas Cant
ley. of the Lewisburg neighborhood,
had agreed to take the boy to his farm
and the County Attorney recommend
ed that the youth be given one more
chance.
Judge Purnell gave the youngster a
heart to heart talk in which he told
him that he was going to give him n
trial in the country for month. He
said he would permit the boy to go
to the Gantley farm and that his be-
havior during the next month would
determine whether or not he would
take him before the Grand Jury ask
ing for an indictment so that he could
send the boy to the Reform School
The boy was told by the judge that
| he must remain on the farm and must
not be seen on the streets of Maysville
unless he was with his parents.
The boys father was recognized il
the sum of two hundred dollars tC
look after the boy and be responsible
for his behavior during the mex
month and on the first Monday il
September, the meeting day of thu
next Grand Jury, he is to bring thu
boy before Judge Purnell when TIL
court will definitely decide whethe
to let the case go to the Grand Jur.
or not.

plain Where He Got Liquor May
Explain to Grand Jury
Next Month,


Cleve Darnall, of the West end, was
before Police Judge John L. Whitaker
yesterday afternoon on charge of
being drunk and disorderly. Darnall
admitted that he was drunk but when
asked to explain how and where and
from whom he had received the whis-
key he said that he was able to tell
from whom he had secured the liquor
but did not know where it had come
from.
His story was so unusual and seemed
so very fiimsy that the officials tried
to pry into it more but were unable
to do so.
Darnall said that the liquor was
laid in a boat and he did not know
who laid it there. On the face of it
this appeared to the officials that
bootleggers were at work in the west
end of the city and Darnau's trial
was continued until the first Monday
in September when tho Grand Jury
will be in session and Darnall may be
asked to explain to the Grand Jury
where the liquor came from.

LARGE AMOUNT
OF SHEEP ON
LOCAL MARKET
Few Cattle Offered For Sale But Many
Sheep=-HOt Weather Keeps PeO-
pie Away From Town.

There was very little cattle on the
local stock market yesterday but all
of the pens at the stock yards were
filled early with sheep. There has
never yet been as many sheep on the
Maysville market at one time as there
was yesterday. At one time there
were 1900 head in the pens and the
most of them belonged to Mr.. r. O..
Chambers, of Sardis.
Three hundred and fifty head of
these sheep were sold to Vic Ross, of
Cynthiana, and were shipped over the
L. & N. yesterday to Harrison county.
Colonel Chris Brown, who is in
charge of the stock yards, reports that
during the day there were about $50
head of cattle on the market which he
considers very good for this season
of the year.
There were very few horses but the
usual number of trading plugs. II
was too warm for much trading and
only few head of horses changed
hands during the day.
Because of the very warm weather
1t is thought that quite lot of stock
that would have been brought here
was kept at home for a later sale.
There were not so many people IL
the city and the most of those who
were here sought the shade. The soda
fountains and near beer saloons did
a thriving business all day

The city of Maysville is again prac-

more coal handled here during the
summer months than has been sold
here in recent years. 1t is thought
that the great majority of the farmers
are now fully supplied with fuel for
the winter. The local coal merchants
have quite bit of coal contracted for
and it is expected that they will have
their yard filled before cold weather
comes.

 :" 'Pollyanna' was not modelled upon any one that I ever knew. She is my brain child.' Like Topsy, she just grew It is a great joy to me that she has inspired fresh hope in the hopeless and driven away so many dull clouds of discon- tent. My publisher, early, said to me that he doubted if the tired business men would care for 1Polyanna.' He was .rffstaken. One of the first to fail in love with her was John Wanamaker, merchant prince and ex-PostmaSter General of the United States. He bought 200 copies of the book as gifts to his friends. For weeks he carried Pollyanna sayings in a personal suggestion column of his big Philadelphia and New York department store advertisements. Tn this way alone he gave the circulation big impetus; just like the timely heave at a big boulder before it is sent down the hill- side MT.
