Payment of Check Held Up

The case of Charles Everest against
Rooney Tucker came up before Judge
Albert w. Dickens in the Addison
County municipal court Tuesday, both
parties live in New Haven, and the
plaintiff Everest sued the defendant
Tucker for stopping payment on a
check, which originated in a COW trade,
Several days ago Tucker purchased a
COW of Henry Martin, and in payment
rendered a check for $1,000, and day
or two after receiving the check, Mar
tin cashed the check for bill OF
goods at the store of Charles Everest,
and the next day Everest received
notice from Tucker that he had stopped
payment on the check, which was on
the Bristol bank, and the check was
returned to Everest. The court after
hearing the evidence held the case open
for further consideration.
Be sure you are right, then go ahead
Turn failure into victory
Don't let your courage fade;
And if you get lemon,
Why, make the lemon aid.

WANTS HANGING
Substituted For Elec-
trocution.
SENATOR JAY W. HARLAN IN
PRODUCES BILL PROVIDING
FOR CHANGE IN PUNISH.
MENT IN KENTUCKY.

FRANKFORT. KY-Another re-
suit Of the fiendish murder Of little
Geneva Hardman in Fayette County
and the subsequent trial. conviction
and death sentence imposed upon
Will Lockett. the negro at Lexington,
while n mob was bent on wreaking
vengeance on him. is the introduc-
tion Of bill in the Legislature by
Senator Jay W. Harlan. Of Danville,
to substitute hanging for electrocu-
tion as the death penalty in certain
cases.
Senator Harlan said that he offer
ed the bill after consulting with a
number Of his colleagues in the Cen
eral Assembly who agreed with him
that the death penalty as now i'm.
posed was not a sufficient deterrent
TO the commission Of certain crimes
against women, the execution Of the
culprit under the present circum.
stances being far removed from the
scene Of the crime.
The author Of the measure pro.
posing hanging for electrocution for
certain crimes pointed out that nov
upon conviction the condemned Grim.
inal is taken to the Eddyville peni.
tentiary to await his execution. which
may be several hundred miles from
the scene Of his crime, and that ex.
treme penalty is meted out without
attracting the slightest attention in
the vicinity where the crime was COM
mitted. His bill provides that upon
conviction for crimes against women
where the death penalty is imposed
the execution shall be by hanging in
the county where the crime was CON-
mitted. and that in all other cases
electrocution shall be the means OF
melting out the extreme penalty OF
the law. He said that he had been as
sured Of support in amending The
present law to the extent proposed.
The present electrocution law was
fathered by Senator Herman ID. New
comb, Louisville, in the 1910 Legisla-
ture. and il was to get away from the
morbid curiosity and siekening SEN
timentality that then attended legal
executions by hanging that the au-
thor claimed prompted him to seek a
change by having the death penalty
meted out in the electric chair at the
Eddyville prison instead Of upon the
gallows in the Jail yards Of the var
ious county seats, which had obtained
since the founding Of the State.

FOX INDUSTRY
GROWS RAPIDLY
$50, 800 Is Paid for Pair
AS Demand for Furs
Is Increased.
CATCH THIS YEAR SHORT.

Winnipeg. Man. Feb. 2i-Reports
from the i5O fur posts Of the Hud-
sons Bay Company throughout Can
ada show that the catch of silver
foxes this winter has been limited.
The shortage. however. probably will
not cause any great advance in this
kind Of fur owing to the extensive
breeding Of silver foxes in captivity.
Silver fox Is the most valuable native
American fur.
Breeding Began in 1887.
Charles Dalton first began to breed
silver foxes in captivity in 1887 on
Prince Edward Island. When his
success became known in 1910. al
most every farmer in the island
plunged into the business. Compan-
les were capitalized TO breed silver
foxes. Prince Edward Island became
one big fox farm.
Foxes sold at from $4,000 to s4.-
900 a pair in 1910. In 1913. pairs
brought from $4,000 to $4,000.
Twenty-Five pairs sold for an aver
age Of s25. 900 a pair. One company
paid s32.5 500 for a pair-the record
price. Fox farming spread through
out Canada and the United States.
3<7.70o Skins Are Sold
The Hudson's Bay Company. which
once was the governing power in
Western Canada and which recently
threw open to farm settlement all the

pire. formerly was the worlds prin-

fur The company's statistics show
that in sixty-two years II sold i7.700
silver fox skins at an average Of

The average price for silver fox
skins for twelve years has been 5000
The bulk Of the trade now is sup
piled from fox farms and the major
ity Of the skins are marketed in the
