THINK MAN SLAIN

JURY BAFFLED IN AMERiCUS
MURDER MYSTERY

Americas, Sept. 26,-Twenty fur
hours after the body if Joel Edge was
found on the roadside near his home
three miles from here, no clue as to
the identity of his asssailants had
been discovered, and officers investi
eating the case appear completely baf-
fled Enough has been learned to es-
tabl:sh beyond all doubt that Edge
was murdered, but the motive behind
the deed has not been uncovered and
and the identity of the murderer is
as great a mystery as ever.
Relatives of the dead man are as
sisting the Officers in their search
and II is said private Deceive has
been engaged to investigate the case
but no announcement to this effect
has been authorized. Fraternal or
ders with which the deceased was af-
filiated are interested in the mystery
surrounding his death and are also
assisting in the search for the muir
derer
The fact that Edges watch and
money were not taken, is enough, the
officers say, toindicate almost CON
clusively that the crime was not the
deed of a negro. And this is about
as far as the search has progressed.
That his pistol has been fred is an
other link in the chain of circumstan-
tial evidence the officers are forg-
irg in their efforts to solve the mys-
terry.

GYMNASIUM FOR
Boys OF MAYSv|LLE
may AYBEESTADLISHED
Persons Interested In Seeing Young
Boys Of the City Have Some
Place In Which They May De.
yelop Physically Consid.
or Gymnasium.

A gymnasium may be established in
Maysville within the next few days for
the benefit Of the young boys of the
community 1t was learned today when
a number Of local men interested in
the youngsters began to look about
for a suitable place for indoor games.
1t Is pointed out that the young
boys OF the community have no place
to gather to develop their body and
that this is exactly what the young
sters are desiring more than anything
else just at this time. The war and
the training of the soldiers at the
training camps has put 1t into the
heads of the younger boys that they
should be taking some sort of physical
exercise to make themselves "better
men,"
Rev. Worth s. Peters, pastor Of the
Third Street NJ e. Church, is quite an
athlete and he is taking the lead in
an endeavor to find gymnasium for
the youngsters. Already the men in
terested in the movement have looked
at several locations and 1t is expected
that they will find suitable room in
very short time when real work in
the gymnasium will begin.
1t is true that there is a splendid
gymnasium at the High School but
this gymnasium cannot be used by all
of the youngsters of the city and the
proposition to establish gymnasium
that will be open to all will in all
probability meet with the general ap-
proval Of the public.

People MUST Be
MORE CAREFUL TO
prevent EPIDEMIC
Health OiiicIals Say That the People
Of the City and County Must Take
= More Precautions to Prevent
Re-Occurance Of Bad "Flu"
Epidemic.

The influenza situation In Mason
county Is worse than 1t has been In
many weeks and there are many cases
in the city of Maysville. While the
situation in the city is not alarming
1t is becoming more serious in both
city and county every day and the
health authorities are appealing to the
citizens to take more precautions to
prevent the spread of the disease so
that 1t may again become very cpl
demic here. In our neighboring coun-
ties the situation is very alarming.
Health authorities today stated that
they hoped that 1t would not be neces-
sary to again put on the ban on
schools, churches and picture shows
for 1t would seriously interfere with
the tobacco industry which has just
gotten started we'll and they are en-
deavoring in every way possible not
to take such steps as would interfere
with the normal conditions Of things
to which the city and county has just
again returned after a health ban OF
several weeks.
To prevent any drastic action on the
part of the Health authorities they
are urging upon the good people Of
both city and county to be more care
full for the next few weeks than they
have been during the past few weeks
It is pointed out that If the individual
will take care of himself and look af-
ter his own welfare it will not be ne.
cessary to place any ban but If people
go on about their work paying no at.
tention to their health and making nc
special efforts to escape influenza II
may be necessary for the health au.
thorities to again act.
