Negroes Convicted
In Anderson Trial
The Youngest Was Given Life sen-
tence and the Mother and Father
Three Years Each

The three negroes, John and Lizzie.
and John Evans, Jr, charged with the
murder of S. English Anderson, in
this county several months ago, were
found guilty in Circuit Court here
Friday and all sentenced to terms in
the penitentiary. The younger negro
was given a life sentence and his
mother and father were each given
three years. They were taken to
Frankfort Saturday morning and be-
gan their sentences at once. Owing
to the prominence Of Mr.. Anderson
the case attracted much interest and
the court room was crowded during
tn entire trial. The jury received the
case Friday night and brought in a
verdict within a few minutes. The
case was tried by Judge W. r.
Shackelford, of the Twerty-first Ju-
dicial district, who by his impartial
rulings and dispatch in handling the
trial, made a splendid impression
upon the local bar. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. Anderson was
murdered by the three negroes near
his home on the Paris pike several
months ago and his body badly mutt
lated. The sentence, so far as we
have been able to hear, appears to
meet with the approval of the general
public. The jury was composed of the
following: s. B. Lane, Walter Turner,
Andy Webb, Newton Hoskins. Will
liam Cockrell, A. J. Turner, Frank
Horton, M. c. Wilson, G. C. An
derson, c. NJ. Brown, NJ. X. Tapp and
A. c. Oldham.

Lexington Saturday morning. His
death removes a figure prominent in
racing and the Democratic party for
more than 40 years.

of Senator William Goebel when the
latter was assassinated and was a
main witness for the Commonwealth

interested in learning of connec-

the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance
Co., of California, through the office
of General Agent H. G.. Hoffman, of

counties.

City Of Mt. Sterling
Wins Important Case
Court of Appeals Reverses Lower
Court and Three Local Property
Owners Must Pay Taxes

About one hundred years ago a
prominent citizen by the name of j.
A. Crawford, gave to the city of Mt.
Sterling the site where the courthouse
now stands with the understanding
that his other properties in this city
were to be exempt from taxation in
the future. In 1917 R. A. Chiles, then
City Attorney, brought suit upon be-
half of the city Of Mt. Sterling for
the payment Of said taxes and the
case was decided against him in the
Lower Court. Judge Young, the Cir
cult Judge at that time, handed down
an opinion in favor of the taxpayers.
MIR. Chiles, who never knows when to
stop when he enters fight, carried
the matter to the Court of Appeals
and on Friday of last week that au-
gust body rendered an opinion in ia
vor of the city of Mt. Sterling. The
three pieces of property involved are
the John L. Mccormick, Andy Judy
and Mrs. c. W. Howe, all located on
West High street. Under the decision
rendered taxes on these three pieces
OF property must be paid in the fu-
ture the same as on all other proper-
ty within the city limits.

Was one of This City's Most Popu-
lar and Best Beloved Young
Women

The news, received in this city Fri
dev announcing the death CO Misc
Hazel Gruggs at sanatorium in
Asheville, N. c., on Thursday night
cast a gloom over the entire city.
Miss Grubbs had been in poor health
for several years and for the past
few months had been a patient at a
sanatorium, where she was getting
along splendidly and her parents and
friends had high hopes Of her perma-
nent recovery until telegram was
received in this city last Tuesday
stating that she had contracted influ-
enza and that pneumonia had devel-
oped and advising her parents to
come at once to her bedside as the
worst was feared. In her weakened
condition the frail body was unable
to Withstand the ravages of this much
dreaded disease and on Thursday
night the spirit of this lovely young
girl yielded to the inevitable and
passed from this earth to the God
who gave it.
Miss Grubbs was the only daughter
of Hon. and Mrs. G. d. Grubbs, of this
city, and since early girlhood had
been leader i'm religious and social
circles. A young woman of charm
ing personality, gifted musician, a
consecrated christian, she was indeed
an ideal daughter and companion.
Bearing her long suffering without
murmur or complaint, putting her
trust in her Lord, she was ever ready
to answer His will, and now that she
has answered the final summons, she
is truly only asleep in Jesus. The
departed one was the life of any
gathering, her very soul seeming to
elevate and gladden. the hearts of her
friends.
In the passing of this lovely young
girl, the very heart of the entire COM
munity is touched for indeed a beau
tiful rose has been plucked, when it
was only a bud and babe fare to
bloom for many day, but the finger
of God touched this beautiful flower
and now, though it sleeps in the form
of the loved departed one on the hills
of old Machpelah, the memory, the
dear characteristics, and the capti-
waiting smile will always inger in the
hearts of her loved ones.
The body, accompanied by her par
ents, arrived in this city Saturday
afternoon and after brief services at
the residence, conducted by Rev.
Clyde Darsie, of the Christian church,
Sunday afternoon at o'clock, the
body was laid to rest in Machpelah
Cemetery amid one of the most beau
tiful arrays of flowers ever seen in
this city, there to await the resurrec-
ton morn.
Besides her parents, she is surviv-
ed by one brother, Thomas ID. Grubbs,
who is student at the University of
Kentucky, and many other relatives
in this city and county.
In this sad hour of grief and sor-
row we would that it were in our
power to say some word of comfort
and cheer to the grief stricken par
ents and lonely brother, but their
faith in God will enable them to lean
on His strong arm and IN so doing
