CHILDREN have VERY
Marrow ESCAPE
Robertson County Children on Loaded
Wagon Have Narrow Escape
From Death.

The Mt. Olivet Tribune-Democrat
says: Tuesday morning, at the home
of Thomas Miller, of Bridgeville pike,
there was a narrow escape from fatal
accident on the part of several chill
dren. Sometime ago a wagon that had
been used in hauling lumber was left
standing at the top of a hill, and
which was checked to prevent it from
being pushed down the hillside to the
hollow below On the day mentioned,
Stanley Montgomery, son of G. H.
Montgomery; James miller, son of
Thomas Miller, and Rosa Nell Over
hey, daughter of Richard Overbey, got
on top the wagon. The little son of d.
A. Miller attempted to get aboard but
about this time the wagon started
down hill, the chock by some means
having been removed James Miller
fell off, a hind wheel of the wagon
passing over and badly bruising his
arm; Stanley Montgomery made a safe
jump, but the little girl held on and
escaped without injury. The wagon
struck the hollow with great force
driving the tongue four or five fee
into the bank and breaking it in two.

The meeting of the committee was

In the Lee county contest, where
two factions we're claiming to be the
regular committee. the case was
I passed until July 5, in order to give
one of the contending factions time to
make further proof as to the regular
ity of its organization.
Various party leaders spoke in favor
of harmony program and urged that
such action be taken as would insure
united front in the campaign to car
ry Kentucky for Harding and Coolidge
as well as all other Republican nOmi-
nees at the election in November.
Speakers were Judge B. ]. Bethu-
rum. of Somerset; Charles Finley. a
member of the committee from Will
liamsburg; Virgil Moore. member of
the committee from jacksonville:
Judge Morrow of Somerset. and others

TWOCITY PRECINCTS
WILL NOT Be DIVIDED
IN RE-DISTRICTING
First and Third Wards VIII Remain
Single Voting Precincts
Other Wards Are Divided
Into Two Precincts.

The bipartisan commission recently
appointed by County Judge Purnell to
make recommendations in the re-dis-
tricting of the county for the purpose
of caring for the woman vote, met at
the court house this morning and went
into the matter very thoroughly. 1t
was little trouble for the representa-
tives of the six city wards to reach
agreements in dividing those wards
but the country precinct committee
men had much more trouble because of
the legal requirement that a voting
precinct cannot cross the lines of
magisterial district
1t was found that the First and
Third wards, the two smallest city pre-
cincts will not have more than the le-
gal number of voters even with the
addition of many women voters, but 1t
became necessary to divide the other
four wards.
The Second ward was divided by
Third street. Those living south OF
Third street in the Second ward will
vote in Precinct A, and those living
north of Third street will vote in pre-
cinct B.
Plum street was made the dividing
line in the Fourth ward. Those living
west of Plum street will vote at pre-
cinct A, and those living east of Plum
street will make up precinct B.
Lexington street divides the Fifth
ward. Precinct A being made up of
those living west of Lexington street,
and precinct B of those living east of
Lexington street.
The Sixth ward is divided by Wood
street. West of Wood street being A
precinct, and east of Wood street be-
ing precinct B.
AS complete division of the county
precincts had not been made at press
time the new county precincts cannot
be given but they will be published
within thirty days prior to the Presi-
Dental election when the changes will
be made and the women of Kentucky
will vote for the first time. S'iEI
