Then two cheap wrist watches, one from
schneider's cigar store and the other
from the store of E. w. Baer and a
certain amount of candy and chewing
gum which they are alleged to have
taken from the Schneider store was
found in the rooms.
Other Suspects Cleared.
One of the most gratifying results of
this outcome is the clearing of all other
boys who had come under suspicion in
connection with these cases. This re-
fers especially to George Gasink who
had been locked up for several days and
is still under $500 bonds.

SLIM COURT DAY.

Owing principally to the fact that
the farmers are very busy with their
work, especially with harvesting the
wheat crop, there was a very small
crowd in the city yesterday in at
tendance on July Court Day. 1t is a
very noticeable fact that the attend
ance at the January and July Court
Days is always below the average, as
the bill-collectors are strictly on the
job, and Mr.. Farmer can give his
press of farm work as a good ex-
cuse for keeping out of their
clutches.
There was very little stock on the
market, only few plug horses and
other nondescript stock being sold.
With the public speaking at the
court house and other side issues the
farmers who did come to town found
something else to do and talk about
than the usual run of court day"
affairs, and they melted into the dis
lance early in the afternoon. Bust
ness was, in the main, very quiet,
and the stores had but moderate
run of trade. There was not even a
patent1medicine orator or leather
Hunger exhorter on the public square
to remind us that we were still in
the midst of the old-time court
day"

GRAND JURY AGAIN REFUSES
TO INDITE FRANK MUNSON.

For the second time the case of
Frank Munson, of near Hutchinson.
this county, who shot and killed
Charles Foley, of Mt. Sterling, in
Cincinnati, on March 9, was ignored
by the grand jury in session at Gin
cinnati. No reference whatever was
made to the case, and it is likely that
it will be dismissed. and Munson
never brought to trial.
Munson's home was broken up by
Foley, who. it was charged, enticed
his wife away from her home and
family on several different occasions.
On the last occasion, they were To-
Gated in Cincinnati, and Munson be-
ing notified, went to the house at 721
Melwood avenue, where he found
them in room together, and killed
Foley.
The grand jury in session at that
time ignored the case, standing by
"the unwritten law" Judge John
A. Caldwell, then on the bench in
the Criminal Division, objected to
this action, and at his request Judge
Hoffman charged the jurors to recon
slider the case. The grand jury re-
heard the evidence, but refused to
indict. Munson is at present at
work on his place near Hutchinson.

FAMOUS RACER, OMAR KHAY-
YAM, NOW IN BOURBON.

Omar Khayyam, the five-year-old
son of Marco and Lisma by Persim-
mon, has been retired to the stud,
and has been sent to Claiborne Farm,
in Bourbon county, the property Of
Arthur B. Hancock, who has sue
ceeded in securing the chestnut for
his stud.
Omar Khayyam was, when at the
top of his form, one of the greatest
race horses ever seen on this CONT
nent, and is as well one of the best
bred stations ever put into the stud
in this country. He is beautiful
chestnut about fifteen hands two
inches high, with star and stripe,
and white hind legs. He is ire
mendously muscled, with great
length from hip to hook, has the
best of feet and legs, and has fine
ear, faultless neck and wonderful
and Bisma was bred in England, and
bought for C. X. G. Billings by his
trainer Charlie Patterson, who train
ed the colt for the Kentucky Derby.
Omar Khayyam after being sold to
his present owner, Wilfred Viau, of
Canada, by auction for $27,500, won
the three-year-old events on the New
York Jockey Club tracks, but. was
beaten in the famous match at Lau-
rel, by Hourless, in what has come
| to be regarded as the best race ever
in this country, by two of the great
est horses ever seen.

GOV. BLACK MAKES BRILLIANT
SPEECH AT COURT HOUSE

A small but highly-appreciative
and enthusiastic crowd of voters
greeted Governor James d. Black at
the court house in this city Saturday
afternoon, when he appeared on the
rostrum to speak to them in the In
trest of his candidacy for the Demo
cratic nomination to succeed himself.
Governor Black was introduced to
his audience by Rev. w. E. Ellis, pas
tor of the Paris Christian church, in
neat speech. Gov. Black immedi-
ately took up his theme, making q
splendid speech and splendid inn
preston upon his hearers. He spoke
for about one hour and a half, fire.
quently interrupted by applause as he
made a telling point He promised
a revision of the tax laws to in a
measure relieve the people of the
present heavy burdens; to cut on
many useless offices, and to show no
favoritism to any particular section
of the State or to any individual. He
declared that as soon as he assumed
the office of Lieutenant-Governor Of
the State he resigned the position Of
attorney for the Louisville & Nash
vile, railroad, and that since that
| time he had always paid his own
way whenever he rode on a train.
He is an earnest and forceful speaker
