BLOODH0UNDS CALLED TO
TRACE SUPPOSED
ROBBERS.

Capt. V. X. Mullikin, with his two
bloodhounds, passed through this
city Friday, in response to message
from Little Rock, stating that the
community store operated at Bunker
Hill, in this county, had been bur-
glarized. Capt. Mullikin and other
officials went to the scene, and dis
covered that the report was a false
one. The store is operated by Mr..
o. B. Herrin, who stated to the ofici-
ais that he had not heard anything
about the robbery. On visiting the
store he found everything all right,
and cannot account for the message.
Capt. Mullikin and the dogs returned
to Lexington without having
chance to do any work in their line.

SAYS AMERICA WILL BE SHORT
100000 MEN.

Col. Arthur Woods warned en-
ployes to have as many extra men
now as possible, as protection against
coming tremendous labor shortage:
American labor, he declared. will
be short 100000 men and women
this year, due largely to the fact
that immigration has been vastly re-
duced.
immigration up to 1914 and for
the seven years preceding, SAID
Woods, amounting to approximately
100000 a year. In 1915 it was
$4,000; in 1917, 100000; in 1913,
100000, and in 1919 it probably Will
be less.
The army, he said. probably will
keep out of industry an additional

VOLUME xxxViiI
FAMOUS KENTUCKY DERBY WON
BY SIR BARTON.

Sir Barton, coupled with Billy
Kelly and running in the colors of
the Canadian sportsman, Commander
j. K. L. Ross, won the forty fifth
renewal of the Kentucky Derby at
Churchill Downs on Saturday over a
heavy track, beating eleven other
starters for the rich prize and run
ming the distance in zoe AS.
The field paraded before the stand
at $40 o'clock and remained at the
post but a few minutes, the barrier
lifting to an excellent start, with Sir
Barton in the lead. Eternal was Sec
ond, Under Fire third, and Billy
Kelly fourth.
Passing the stand the son of Star
Shoot and Lady Sterling had gained
a lead of two lengths and Eternal
running in second place, was in close
pursuit, with Billy Kelly in pood po-
sition third. Rounding the club
house turn, the places were unchang-
ed. the runners up at that point be-
ing Vindex, which was in forth po-
sition, followed by Under Fire, with
the others strung out for many
lengths.
Entering the back stretch, Vindex
began dropping back and at the half
mile was in the ruck; Billy Kelly
had moved up close to the leaders
and at the bend in the far turn, Eter-
nal, after following Sir Barton, be-
gan to shorten his stride, and by the
time the horses appeared at the head
af the stretch, the brown colt was
fading away.
Billy Kelly, coming strong, was
but a length behind his stable COM
panion, and with Under Fire hanging
on gamely, the three leaders were
several lengths in front Of the strug-
Cling field as the cavalcade swept
down the broad stretch toward the
winning post.
At the eighth pole, Billy Kelly was
hard ridden by his jockey in order
to gain first place, but could not re-
spond and the chestnut colt galloped
under the wire two lengths in front
of the little bay gelding, which had
gamely struggled to overtake the fly
ing leader, but without avail, while
Under Fire was the same distance
behind with the others strung out for
sixteenth of mile.
Vulcanite finished fourth, Be
Frank fifth, and the mighty Eternal
in the bunch of horses racing in the
middle of the track, while Vindex,
the pride of the whitney stable,
brought up the rear.
It was estimated that the largest
crowd ever on the track witnessed
the running of the Derby. Ofhcials
estimated the attendance at $4,000.
