!: Her Home, blair Park .
MakefeldDayis Realty Company, Of Shebyvlle
2 Purchase Attractive Residential Site To|
SubdMde Into Building Lots

Another handsome and very desira-
BILE residence addition was assured for
Richmond this morning when negotia-
tons were consummated by which
Mrs. James w. Caperton has sold her
home "Blair Park" to the Wakefield
Davis Realty Company of Shelbyville,
The edal was handled by L. p. Evans;
Richmond's hustling real estate agent,
and the consideration is said to have
been around $35,000 or $4,000. Pos
session is to be given May 1st, next.
"Blair Park" is one Of the most at
tractive old homes and residence sites
in this section. II has been the Cap
erton home for many years. There
are 81 acres in the tract and a hand
some old house. Lying right on the
edge Of Richmond, where West Main
street merges into the Lexington
pike, it offers a most pretentious and
desirable site for subdividing into at
tractive building lots. Il is under
stood that the new owners plan to
hold a sale during the summer, max
ing it an ideal residential section, with
all modern conveniences and improve
ments.
The Wakefeld-Davis Realty Com
pany is one Of the big real estate
firms Of Kentucky. 1t has probably
sold more big farms and residences
than any other firm in this part of the
state during the past twelve months,
and specializing in this class Of work
as it does, it is qualified in every way
to conduct the transformation of this
handsome old home property into sn

Prominent Carrard Farmer
Kills Bull With Sword

A dispatch from Lancaster this
week said: The spectacle of a staid
business man Of Lancaster, attired in
a flaming red sweater and armed with
a keen two-edged sword, engaged in
desperate combat with an angry bull,
which he finally dispatched after cut
ting of one of its horns and plunging
the blade to the hilt in the maddened
bovine's neck, was q rare sight af-
forded number Of residents just out
side this city on w. R. Cooks farm.
F. B. Marksbury, Of Lancaster, was
the toreador and his victim was one of
the Jersey bulls on the farm of his
friend, Mr.. Cook. It required some
explanation on Mr.. Marksbury's part
as to just how it happened to be en-
gagged in such an unusual combat. Mr..
Marksbury, it seems, is the owner of
a handsome Damascus blade, with del
icated ornamented hilt, which is an
heirloom and was worn by q Colonel
in the Revolutionary War. A 30-inch
blade, it has a rapier point and is very
flexible. Mr.. Marksbury buckled on
sword and started out on foot across
country to call upon Mr.. Cook, who
had often expressed the desire to ex-
anime the sword. All would have
been well save that in an unguarded
moment, Mr.. Marksbury had chosen
to don crimson sweater. Mr.. Marks
bury was peacefully proceeding when
he heard the thunder Of hoofs behind
him and leaped nimbly aside just IN
time to avoid being gored by the bel
ligerent bull. His sword leaped from
the scabbard and had bitten of the
bulls horn before the animal had gone
ten steps. The animal died in two
hours, and Mr.. Cook was one of the
first to congratulate his friend upon
his prowess-

The 5000 damage suit of w. n.
Deering, carpenter, against the L. &
N. railroad, was taken up by circuit
court this morning. 1t promises to
be one of the hardest fought legal ac-
tions during the present term o.
court. Deering, who is a Richmond
man, fell from scaffolding while
working on the new depot the railroad
company was building at Maloney,
Lee county, in the spring of 1917. He
sustained injuries which have made
him cripple for life. it is said. He
is represented by Judge Frank Peak
of the firm of Edwards and
Peak, of Louisville. and Attorney
John holland, of this city. Judge
Peak was formerly on the bench in
the Shelby Henry district, and is one
of the best known jurists in the state

Burnam, Jr., is representing the rail-
road company, assisted by Chic.

The jury gave Taylor Bogie s195
damages, against Robert Taylor fol

ideal subdivision. That there is a
decided need and demand for addition
al building room in Richmond, is pat
ent to every one familiar with condi-
tons here. It is almost as hard to
md house to rent in Richmond as to
|fnd the proverbial needle in a hay
tack. Desirable residences sell at
beard of figures, and attractive
heilding lots are practically impossi-
Bile to obtain. Predictions that Rich
mond viii have 10000 population
within the next few years are fully
warranted by the constant evidence of
its growth in business and other ac-
tivities, which prove It to be in the
midst of an awakening that few had
thought possible a few years ago,
With paved streets and a new sewer
system assured in the immediate fu-
ture, demand for a White Way, the
erection Of half a dozen new business
buildings already planned for this
year, Richmond is coming" and COM

deal, is being congratulated upon his
part in bringing IL to a successful con-
clusion and thereby insuring to Rich
mond the opening Of a new residential
section, needed 30 badly. Mr.. Evans
has negotiated many large real estate
transactions in this section within the
past several months, but none that
win have wider potentiality for the
material improvement of the city ant
