PETITION NECESSARY IN
JUVENILE DELINQUENCY Case
Judge Purnell Drops Case Against
Sixth Ward Grocer When Lawyers
Contend That Petition Must
Be Filed Setting Out
Charges.

Thomas r. Valentine, Sixth Ward
grocer, arrested several days ago on
a. charge of contributing to the delin-
quency of juveniles, was before Judge
II. p. Purnell this afternoon on the
charge but his case was dropped when,
Judge Purnell ruled that a petition
must be filed setting out the specific
charges against the grocer.
Attorneys James Collins and Frank
p. ODonnell represented Mr. Valen-
tine and before the jury was called
they offered their objections to pro-
ceeding under the warrant issued,
contending that the term juvenile de-
linquency was so broad that it should
be defined and that under the statutes
petition setting out the case should
befled.
After hearing arguments for about
an hour and half Judge Purnell
finally decided that although he did
not know what was in the minds of
the legislators when the act under
which procedure was taken was pass
ed, he would, in justice to the defend
ant, drop the case until petition was
fled

TOBACCO PRICE FOR
+, week SHOWS AN IN.
CREASE OF S2.1O
Weekly Report Of Supervisor Mitchell
Shows That Tobacco Continues to
Advance In Price-Dry Wealth.
er Expected to Cause
Slow Up Next Week.

Supervisor William Mitchells re-
port on the Maysville tobacco market
for the week closed Friday shows that
the price of tobacco is still on the in
cline. The average price for the week
just ended was $39.O5 which is an ad-
vance Of $210 over the prices Of the
previous week.
Up to the present time the Maysville
market has sold 13,650,O6O pounds of
leaf including the 3,OS5,SOO pounds
sold this week.
Supervisor Mitchell gives It as his
opinion that the Maysville market will
sell about twenty-five million pounds
this year and that the season average
for the Maysville market will be as
high as any market In the state and
higher than the majority of them.
Mr. Mitchell's report says:
During the week ending Friday,
January 81, the Maysville Tobacco
market sold 3,OS5,SOO pounds of tobac-
co at general average of s39.O5-an
increase in price of $2.1O over the
previous week. The sales to date
amount to 1S,65O,O6O pounds.
weather conditions indicate that
there will be let-up on the market
during the coming week. Many farm
ers have not been able to strip out all
of their crop. This will mean that
there will be plenty of room for all
who want to sell now and have their
tobacco ready. Our advise is to mar
ket it as soon as ready"

MAYSV|LLE HIGH WINS
FROM ASHLAND FIVE
Lessl Elgh School Team Takes First
Game From Ashland in Their New
High School Bulldlng-M. II.
s. Proud Of Record.

The Maysville High School basket
ball team won from the Ashland High
School at the latter's gymnasium Fri
day evening before an immense au-
dience by a score of 20 to 81.
1t was the first inter-High School
game played on the Ashland schools
new gymnasium In their beautiful new
High School building, only recently
completed and was real game Of
basket ball as the score indicates.
Prof. jackson, formerly Of the Mays
lick High School, but now an instruc-
tor at Ashland, was the referee and
hos decisions were absolutely correct
in every respect and perfectly salts
factory to both sides.
The lineup and individual score
was as follows: Maysville--Dawson,
10; Tully, Q; McDonough, Q; Collins,
Dickson. Ashland Hammonds, 4;
Loptien, 6; Henthorn, II; Montgom-
cry; Smith.
The student body of the Maysville
High School is Justly proud of this
basket ball squad. Its comparative
ly easy matter to win from light
weight weights on your own ground
but when team takes a game on
their opponents grounds and those
opponents are the sons of steel mill
men, there is considerable credit COM
ing to the team. The people Of Nays
vile should be Just as proud of the
M. H. s. basket ball team as is the
student body.
