Bile FOR SUICIDE
William L. Wilson, 10 Year Old Sardis
Boy, Takes Strychnine at Home
Of Relative on Lexington Pike
And Dies In Few Hours.

William Lee Wilson, ~ year old son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles w. Wilson of
the Sardis neighborhood, drank a
small vial of strychnine late Thurs
day afternoon while at the home of his
counsin, Mr.. M. T. Dodson at the juno
tion of the Sardis and the Lexington
pixies and died in few hours despite
the efforts of three physicians to save
his life in every possible way.
Young Wilson was in good health
and in company with brother drove
in an automobile from his parents
home to the Dodson home about the
middle of the afternoon. After he
was there short time, he told his
brother that he had taken strychnine
to take his own life. Physicians were
called but they were unable to save
him and he died about 5 o'clock in the
afternoon. Funeral will be held Sun
day afternoon at o'clock.
The young mans family cannot as
sign cause for the rash act but it is
reported that young Wilson had been
considerably in love with young lady
in that section of the county and that
there was some trouble between them
which probably caused him to take his
own life.

ARGUMENT over Who
SHOULD TRY LUNkTIC
Insane Woman Held In jail While
Someone Is Found to Preside
At Her Inquest.

The Vanceburg Sun says: Last Sat
urday, Mrs. Dave May became insane
at her home on Southern avenue and
resisted all efforts to control her ac-
tions. She had gun and pistol In
her possession and when A. r. Camp
bell, Jr., and VIM. Hackworth tried to
bring her to town she discharged the
pistol and the bullet just missed Mr..
Campbell. After disarming her, Mar
shal Charles Ruggles was sent for
and he brought her to town where she
was confined in Jail pending her ex-
animation, which was delayed from
Saturday till Tuesday a. m. at which
time jury returned a verdict that in
their belief she was of unsound mind
and recommended that she be taken
to the asylum for treatment.
The reason that Mrs. May was kept
confined in Jail for nearly three days
was that our County Judge was not
in town, having moved to his farm
for the summer and there was quite a
wrangle as to who had jurisdiction
many claiming that Squire Campbell
could not act. Mr.. Campbell at once
motored out to Teutonia where Judge
w. c. Halbert is camping and secured
the assurances that he (Mr. Campbel)
could try the case in the absence oi
the Circuit and County Judges.

SHEEP KILLING DOGS ARE
FOUND AN0 KILLED here
Two Dogs Which Have Cost Mason
County More Than $500 In Killing
Sheep Are Run Down and
Killed by Officers.

Several weeks ago dogs got into the
sheep on the farm Of Mr.. Mike Slattery
in the county and killed over 20 of the
animals. The same dogs got into the
flock on the farm of Mr. John r.
Downing and killed Ave of his best
animals. They probably would have
killed more had Mr.. Downing not
moved the sheep to another farm in
the county.
On Thursday these same dogs visit
ed that section again and finding no
sheep, they got into the turkey fiocks
in that district and killed several tur-
keys before they were frightened
away.
On Friday morning the neighbors
decided they would lay for the dogs
and early Friday morning these same
dogs came to that section to again
feed on turkey or sheep but the neigh
bors were watching for them and they
were trailed to Maysville. Deputy
Sheriff Frank Armstrong and Police
man Dudley Bloomhuff were notified
that the dogs had been traned here
and run into the Postal Telegraph Of
flee in West Second street. The Of
fcers took charge of the dogs and
killed them.
1t is reckoned that these two dogs
have cost Mason county at least $500
in. sheep claims which will be filed
against the county this year.

SUFFRAGE PROMISES TO HAVE
ATTENTION At CONVENTION
Mason County Democrats Meet at
Court House Saturday Afternoon
to Select Delegates For Plat
form Convention.

Democrats of Mason county have
been called to meet in convention at
the Court House here on Saturday af-
ternoon for the purpose of selecting
delegates from this county to the
Democratic State Platform Conven-
tion to be held in Louisville.
One of the most important matters
which may come before the conven-
tioI is the position the delegates from
the county will take on a proposed
woman suffrage plank in the state
platform 1t is understood that there
are some Democrats who plan attend
ing the convention who will insist that
the delegates chosen to represent the
Democrats of Mason county be men
who favor woman suffrage and there
is said to be another faction among the
Democrats who will oppose the selec-
tion of such delegates.
II is expected therefore, that there
will be considerable interest taken in
organizing the convention and an in
teresting contest may develop over the
resolutions appointing the delegates
The suffrage question seems to be the
most interesting one before the Demo
Gratis of Mason county just at the pres.
ent time.

STREETSTOBE PAVED
this SEASON, COM
MITTEE HAS DECIDED
Majority of Property Owners Along
Market and West Second Streets
Favor Plan Of Paving Between
Car Tracks and Contracts
VIII Be Let at Once.

The special committee of City Coun-
Gil appointed several months ago to
take the matter Of paving between the
car rails in Market and West Second
streets up with the Street Car Com
pany and the owners of abutting prop
erty, held very important meeting on
Thursday evening and reached a de-
cision in regard to this very important
matter which has had the attention of
the city officials for many months.
After going over the matter very
carefully and after confering with the
property owners along these two
streets to be affected, the committee
has obtained the approval Of their plan
from a majority or practically all of
the property owners and the commit
tee, as authorized by council, will i'm
mediately ask for bids on the proposed
work and the contract will be let In
the. immediate future with the under
standing that the work shall be COM
pleted before winter.
The specifications have been agreed
upon and the paving will be of con-
crete and will make the streets paved
solidly from curb to curb doing away
forever with the canals which have
been quite unsightly and disturbing
to the citizens living along these
streets as we'll as a great hinderance
to traffic in the city.
Nothing of greater Importance to the
city has been before council in recent
years and the citizens of the city feel
greatly relieved that the matter Is go
ing to be cleared up for all time in
the immediate future. The plan de-
cided upon by the committee is one in
which the city, the street car COM
pany and the property owners will
share in the expense.

RESOLUTIONS ARE
ADOPTED BY SCHOOL
BOARD THURSDAY
Appreclating Worth Mr.. X. A. Cochran
Had Been to the Educational Sys.
tenn of the City Of Maysville
Through Many Years,
Board Passes Reso-
lutiOns.


AT the regular monthly meeting of
the Maysville Board of Education held
at the High School building Thursday
evening that body adopted a set of
resolutions in the severfng of connec-
tions with Mr.. R. A. Cochran, member
of the Board who recently resigned.
Mr.. Cochran, in point of service, was
by far the Oldest member of the board
and his counsel has had much to do
with the rapid stride public education
has taken in the city of Maysville.
The resolutions adopted follow:
We your committee appointed by
the President of the Board to draft
resolutions expressing the feelings of
the Board of Education regarding the
resignation of Mr.. R. A. Cochran Of
fer the following:
Resolved, That as R A. Cochran has
served this city as a member of its
\ Board of Education ever since the
adoption of the last constitution of
Kentucky which removed the Board
from the position formerly held as a
committee of the City Council and
made 1t a separate and distinct or
ganization, and as his services through
all of these years have been character
lied by an unselfish devotion to the
educational interests of this city;
civic pride in making Maysville's
schools the best, both in its buildings
and courses of instruction; a clear
conception Of the dignity and purpose
of the public schools; therefore, we
declare to express the esteem which
this Board of Education has for his
long years of service, as treasurer, as
chairman of the committee that in 1906
declared fearlessly that Maysyille
must be provided with facilities for
an education in school rooms where
the health of the children is not en-
dangered and where the conditions are
equal to the very best in the country,
which resulted in the erection of three
new brick buildings-High School,
First District School and Colored High
School; and lastly do we especially
esteem him as a member whose coun-
sci was always timely, whose advice
afe, and whose action made for eff
,iciency, worth and dignity.
