GROCERS COMPLAIN
OF FREIGHT SERVICE
Maysyille Grocers and Butchers Com.
plain Of Service on c. & O.-New
Treasurer Elected.

At meeting of the Grocers and
Butchers Association last evening a
complaint was raised relative to the
freight service out of Cincinnati.
The Secretary was instructed to
communicate with the local agent, Mr..
w. W. Wikoff asking that Mr.. Taylor
Division Superintendent of the C. & O.,
be apprized of the fact that the freight
shipped out of Cincinnati at three
o'clock on Thursday afternoon did not
arrive at their stores until Saturday
morning, which is very unsatisfactory,
especially with regard to pershable
goods.
The resignation of Mr.. A. S. Young
as treasurer of the organization, on
account of his having retired from the
grocery business, was presented and
upon motion, was accepted. Mr.. James
S. Redmond was the unanimous choice
to fill the uneXpired term of Mr..
Young.
Messrs. Van Sharen G. Weis of the
American Grocers Society, were given
an opportunity to present their propo-
sition to the members of the Associa-
tion.

MASON VICTORY LOAN
Committeeman At MEET
Chairman KehOe and Secretary Ball
Spent Day In Lexington In Con.
ference With State Victory
Loan Workers.

Hon. James N. Kehoe, chairman Of
the Mason County Victory Loan Com
mittee, and Mr.. w. W. Ball, Jr, Secre-
tary of the same committee, motored
to Lexington today to attend dis
trict meeting Of the committeeman
from all over the Lexington district.
At this meeting today the opening
gun of the campaign will be sounded
and the committeeman will be sent
back to their counties with full in
formation on the campaign and with
instructions as to how to handle the
campaign most successfully.
The apportionments of the various
counties in the state will likely be
announced to the county chairman
and complete arrangements will be
made for the various publicity cam
paigns that are to be waged as soon
as the campaign is formally opened
on next Monday.
Because of the fact that the total
amout of the Loan is much smaller
than was expected, Mason county's ap-
portionment will be cut considerably
and local committeeman do not fear
but that the county will raise its ap-
portionment promptly and with little
trouble. The loan will be handled in
the same me nner as it was handled in
| the last drive and there will be little
noise or splitter about it, committee
men say.

FIRST MEETING OF
GARDEN ADVISORS HELD
Some Changes Made In Ward Advisors
and Chairman Dleterich Gives
Some Advise.

C. P. Dieterich, City Victory Gar
den Advisor, met with the Ward Ad-
yisors at the Chamber Of Commerce
Monday evening and held the first
meeting of the 1919 season.
Mr.. Dieterich made several changes
in the Advisors for the different wards.
The corrected list follows: First ward,
Mr.. Ben Cole; Second ward, Mr.. Frank
Clark; Third ward, Mr.. John Walsh;
Fourth ward, Mr.. William Outten;
Fifth ward, Mr.. J. B. Orr; Sixth ward,
Mr.. Wallace Reese.
Upon being requested by our repre-
sentatives, If he had any suggestions
to offer the gardeners, Mr.. Dieterich
stated that the only advice he could
give at the present time was to sug-
gest that every vacant lot be plowed
at once, If the owner expects to raise
a garden.
He further stated that early peas.
potatoes, onions, radishes, beets, sal
sify and parsnips should all be plant
ed now. There should be no delay. He
emphasized the necessity Of washing
tomato and cabbage plants before
you set them out and see If there is
any green lice or aphis underneath the
foliage. BY doing this you will not
have them to contend with later. If
you notice them in the plants, spray
them with black leaf forty or nicotine,
Is his advice.

YOUNG HUSBANDD|ES
OF WOUNDS RECEIVED
ON RUSSIAN FRONT
Telegram Received From War Depart.
ment This Afternoon Announces
Death OF Dale L. WllsOn-Grief
Stricken Young Wife Has
City's Sympathy.

A telegram received this afternoon
by Mrs. Dale L. Wilson, from the Ad-
jutant General of the Army announced
the death in an American hospital in
Russia Of her husband, Dale l.. Wilson,
popular travelling salesman, who was
wounded some little time ago on the
Russian front.
1t will be remembered that about
three weeks ago Mrs. Wilson received
a cablegram from her husband in
which he said he had been wounded
in action but that he was getting along
well and urging her not to worry. 1t
was thought that Mr.. Wilson was do
ing nicely as nothing to the contrary
had been heard until the telegram
came to Mrs. Wilson this afternoon.
Before her marriage Mrs. Wilson
was Miss Lucy Rayborn, popular
saleslady at Merz Brothers depart
ment store. Her husband was travel
ing salesman for the Excelsior Shoe
Company of Portsmouth, Ohio, apa$1
| about six months after their marriage,
Mr.. Wilson was called into the service.
Since her marriage Mr. Wilson has
held her position at the Merz Brothers
store ard the telegram was delivered
there tb S afternoon, however, she was
taken to her home in Front street
where he lives with her husbands
mother, before the telegram was de-
livered to her.
Nothing happening in Maysville in
connection with the war has been sad
der than the reception of this news.
Mrs. Wilson and her mother-in-law
have the deepest sympathy of the en-
tire community.

ROBBED RESIDENCE
IN BRACKEN COUNTY,;
LODGED IN JAIL HERE
Man Arrested at Dover Monday Night
On Charge Of House Breaking and
Put In Mason County jail Is
Thought to Be An Es.
capped Convict.

Marshal Thomas, of Dover, Monday
night arrested a man in that town who
gives his name as James Woodward
on request of the Bracken county au-
thorities on a charge Of house break
ing. He was turned over to Deputy
Sheriff Devore and was brought to
Maysville and lodged in the Mason
county Jail to await the arrival here
of Bracken county officers.
Maysville police who saw Woodward
in Jail this morning are of the opinion
that the man is Grover Morgan, no
torious house thief who was sent up
from this county to the state peniten-
tiary some time ago for robbing
houses in the Murphysville nelghbor-
hood. 1t will be remembered that
later after having obtained his free
dom from penitentiary, he was arrest
ed in Bourbon county on charge of
house breaking and that he escaped
from the Paris Jail. He was again ar
rested in Mason county and returned
to Bourbon county. He was sent to
the penitentiary and was taken out
with a gang Of prisoners to work on
the roads in the mountain counties
and while there escaped from camp
and has since been missing. Police
who saw the man in Jail here this
morning say they are almost positive
this is Morgan although he denies II
saying that his name is James Wood
ward and that his home is in North
Carolina.
He admits, however, to having en-
tered the home of Mr.. Allen Laycock
near South Higginsport in Brackel
county, Monday afternoon and having
stolen therefrom very valuable ar
ticles Of jewelry. From his person the
officers took one II Jewel South Bend
gentlemans watch, ladies wrist
watch, a revolver, three ladies rings
and a beautiful diamond Laviller be-
sides a gentleman's shirt stud. This
is probably the richest haul ever made
in recent years by robber in Brack-
en- county and it was done in broad
day light.
Woodward or Morgan, says he went
to the house on Mr.. Laycock's farm to
beg something to eat but seeing that
there was no one at home, he entered
and found these vlauables which he
took In charge with the idea of sell
ing them and converting them into
money, he having but eight cents in
money on his person.
So strong are the local police in
their belief that this man under ar
rest is Grover Morgan that they will
not permit the Bracken county author.
tiles to take him away from Maysville
until more thorough investigation is
made and II the man really is Morgan
he will be turned over to the State
Penitentiary authorities as an escaped
convict and If the man is not Morgan
he will then be turned over to the
Bracken county authorities for prose
cution under this charge to which hi
has already admitted.
The robbery pulled" by Woodward
is exactly the same sort of robberies
always pulled" by Morgan and to-
gether with the fact that the mar
looks exactly like Morgan and has al
of his ear marks, the police feel GER
tain they have found the escaped con
vict.
