the ground that they are not bona f1de

TO the District Attorney, that the police

size of the field occupied by
the WHY'S Light farm and

indicated by the fact that more

peated and continuous tests
it has maintained from IL to
20 miles per gallon of gasoline.
A new principle Of spring
suspension gives the new Six
the riding ease of a car with
142 inch wheel base-while
the actual wheel base is only
112 inches.
The new spring suspension
also prevents side swaying
and enables the wheels to thug
the road bed"-a great factor
for safety and easy riding.
These easy riding, easy hand,
ling qualities will also greatly
prolong the usefulness Of the
new car and reduce upkeep.
Advanced principles of con-
struction, here only limited
at, effect many economies Of
manufacture. Production in
great quantities will further
reduce cost of manufacture of

embracing the manu-

John N. WHY'S saw the great
need of an absolutely new type
of car to fill a vast and unoc-

Experience has proved the
efficiency for automobile
purposes Of the six cylinder
unit motor. Engineering and
manufacturing restrictions
have placed a price upon six
cylinder cars which have de-

has placed a further barrier

exacting and grilling road

FIVE FEUD|STS
ARE CONVICTED
Clay County Clan Members Held
Guilty and Three Draw
II Years

A dispatch from London, Laurel
county says that what is hoped to be
the final act in the Ferman- Poe Baker
feud of Clay county was staged in
the Laurel circuit court this week
when five feudists were sentenced by
Judge VIM. Lewis to terms ranging
from two to 81 years in the state PEN
itentiary. Those sentenced were:
John Fcrman, 81 years; VIM. Poe 81
years; Leonard Morgan 21 years; Fee
lix Ferman 5 years and Steve Fer
man 2 years. These five men, with
Hugh and Robert Baker, were indict-
ed for killing Deputy Sheriff James
Baker in battle on Crane creek in
Clay county, last March, the culinin-
alton of trouble growing out of
quarrel about moonshining. Baker, a
grandson of George Baker, killed 70
years ago by Jim Howard, of Goebel
case fame, invaded the hostile Crane
creek territory to make arrests and
the clans gathered and Joined battle,
killing Baker and, it is alleged, wound
ing Others
Nearly dozen indictments were
returned but the cases We're transfer
red to Laurel county to obtain an un-
prejudiced jury and to prevent a pos
siblc feudal outbreak if trials were
held at Manchester, county seat Of
Clay county. AT the May term of the
Laurel circuit court, Robert and Hugh
Baker were sentenced to five years
each. The present trial has lasted
more than week and has been typ-
ical feud trial, more than 100 Witness
es having been summoned and maze
of conflicting evidence given.
Another Clay county case was begun
that of John Eversole and Geo. Alex
Bush, jointly indicted in Clay county
on charge of killing from ambush
Joe McCollum on Crane creek in last
July. McCollum was prominent
farmer, who, it is charged knew some
damaging evidence against parties
suspected of being responsible for his
death. Though this is not feud case,
there are many old-time fcud sympa-
thizers connected with both sides and
every precaution is used by authori-
ties to prevent further trouble. Dep
uty sherifrs search every person who
enters the court room for weapons
and extra deputies are kept on the
public square and the principal thor
cughfarcs, at all times.
