Fort Bliss fighters have far differ ent views of the ring game than is carried by local fight fans. The Fort Bliss boys do not lose any opportuni- ties to claim foul. Shapiro repeatedly claimed he was being fouled by Burt, but the referee failed to see them Perhaps our referees are overlooking a few points, but it seems strange that they should overlook alleged fouls at all times. Stage fright seems to be the biggest drawback by Shapiro. The Fl Paso fighter refused to follow a lead and seemed afraid to mix it, after Burt's artillery blows failed to him his sights.

merly resident of Paris, but lately
residing in Canada, arrived in Paris,

few weeks ago, he was placed under

young child since the death Of his
wife. A compromise was effected
whereby Fitzgerald agreed to pay

support of the child the past two
years. and to pay in the future SIS
per month until the child had reach
ed maturity. He was then released

WHISKY, WHISKY ALL OVER,
NOT DROP TO DRINK!

With the whole world going dry,
and the parched tongues Of former
drinkers even tapping eagerly at the
substitutes for their favorite old
tipple, the warehouses of the Paris
Distilling Company, in this city, yet
hold a total of five hundred and
seven barrels of the prime old stuff
but alas, and a tale Of woe, not a
drop of it is available for beverage
purposes.
This whisky, which belongs. every
drop of it, to private parties. and
not a barrel of which can be d.
verted to Paris, is being changed
from one warehouse to another, un-
der the direction of Government off,
Gals. The whisky is bottled in bond.
and is being held awaiting orders of
the owners. The establishment is in
charge Of Nicholas Bohn. of Law
renceburg, as resident manager,
and is controlled by Julius Kessler
& Co. The old distillery plant was
destroyed by fire in March, 1913,
and with it passed the last of the
whisky-making plants in this coun-
ty. These facts were CLEANED by
two inQuisitive newspaper men, who
recently paid visit to the place,
seeking information, and nothing
else. and that's all they got.

POPULAR BOURBON MAN KILL
ED IN AUTO ACCIDENT.

Elmer Meyers, one of the best
known and most popular stockmen
and traders of the county, a member
of the firm of Myers & Smith, of
this city, died in the Ford Memorial
Hospital, at Georgetown, Friday
morning, from injuries received in
an automobile accident which oc-
cured late Thursday night near
Georgetown.
Mr.. Myers went to Frankfort early
Thursday morning in his Ford Sc
dan, on business mission, telling
the members of his family that he
would be back in time to have
Christmas dinner with them.
Shortly before FIVE o'clock that at
ternoon as he was hurrying back to
Paris to keep his promise to the fam
lily he lost control of his car in turn
ing sharp curve about five miles
out of Georgetown. The machine
was overturned, pinning the unfor-
tunate man beneath it. His groans
attracted the attention of passers-
by, one of whom, Miss Naomi Coyle,
who was on her way to a nearby
mail box, going to his assistance.
With the help of several men who
were passing, the car was righted
and the body of the unconscious man
removed from underneath. He was
taken to the Ford Hospital, in
Georgetown, where a superficial ex-
animation disclosed a broken hip
and jaw and several bruises. A later
examination developed serious in
ternal injuries. Mr.. Myers regained
consciousness for a short time, and
the attending physicians were hope
full that the worst had passed. But
the shock, combined with weak
heart and the internal injuries he
had received, caused his death in a
few hours after the accident had oc-
CURED.
Messages telling of the accident
had been sent to Paris, and In a
short time Mrs Myers. accompanied
by her family physician, DR.. Chas.
G. Daugherty, Ed. Myers. a cousin,
and Joe B. Smith, the dead mans
business associate, were speeding to-
ward Georgetown. The body was
brought back to Paris by Undertaken
George r. Davis, and taken to the
Myers home on Mt. Airy avenue,
where 1t was prepared for burial.
Mr.. Myers was a native Of Mich
Olas county, and was about thirty
eight years old. He was son OF
the late Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Myers
Of Carlisle. He is survived by his
widow. who was formerly Miss Bet
tie Ware, of near Carlisle, two
daughters, Misses Anna Ware Myers

Fate cuts many capers with HUI
mans, and isn't at all particular as
to the time and place, either, nor
the circumstances under which it
finds the object.
This applies especially to the case
of Frank Burton, the well-known
proprietor of Burton's Cafe in this
city. Several days ago Mr.. Burton
was called to Louisville, by the
death OF his mother. He was accom-
panied by Mrs. Burton, both being
guests at the Burton home in Louis
vile. While members of the family
were attending the funeral sneak
thief entered the Burton home, and
made away with a purse belonging
to Mrs. Frank Burton, containing
SIS in money and other valuables
At the same time a lot of valuable
clothing, newly purchased, belong
ing to Mr.. Buttons sister-in-law,
Mrs. Irvine Burton, of Louisville, a
diamond ring, a gold watch and
s400 in money. also the property of
Mrs. Burton, was stolen.
The money, clothing and valua-
bles taken from Mrs. Irvine
Burton, represented the war saw
ings of her husband, who
had been in the service
in the United States army. The po-
lice were apprised of the robbery,
but having no tangible clue to work
on have not as yet apprehended the
thief or recovered any part of the
money, valuables or clothing.
