MAYSv|LLE MAN IS
CHARGED With A
SERIOUS OFFENSE
Bracken County Authorities Want
"Kirk" Stickley on Serious Charge,
Chief of Police Is Advised,

Chief of Police Harry A. Ort was
asked Sunday by the authorities at
Augusta, Bracken county, to arrest
Lycurgus Stickley, who was thought to
be in this city and hold him for them
as he was wanted in that town on the
serious charge of attempting to as
sault a seven-year-old girl. Particu-
lars of the case are lacking but it is
charged that Mr., Stickley, who has
been following his trade as a painter
in Augusta for the past several weeks,
made improper talk to little girl who
reported the matter.
Mr.. Stickley, who is a native of this
city, has always bourne splendid
reputation here and this information
received by the police comes as quite
surprise to those who know him. 1t
is thought that there must be some
mistake and that he will be able to
prove his innocense of so terrible a
charge.
He spent Sunday in Maysville with
the family of his brother in Forest
avenue and the brother this morning
stated that he left yesterday afternoon
10 return to Augusta and resume his
work there. The police were unable to
find him in Maysville.

BARN and CONTENTS ARE
DESTROYED BY LIGHTNING
Saturday Nights Storm Does Much
Damage Throughout the section
Barn at Springdale Lost.

One of the most threatening clouds
which have been seen in this section in
years was that which passed over
Maysville about 6 o'clock Saturday
evening and at its approach the citi-
zens of the city were horror stricken
at the prospects of a most serious
storm. Although the city was drenched
in a terrific down-pour of rain, the
wind and lightning, did no damage in
the city proper.
In the Augusta and Dover neighbor-
hoods, however, it is reported that the
damage was severe.
The greatest damage reported from
Mason county was the burning of a
large barn owned by Mr.. Clarence
Hughes in the Spripgdale neighbor-
hood which was struck by lightning.
Mr.. Hughes and his neighbors saw the
fire soon enough to get two horses and
quite bit of the farming implements
out of the structure before it was de-
.stroyed but he lost quite a bit of to-
bacco and hay, several sets of harness
and some farming tools. The barn
was insured in the Mason County Mu-
tual Insurance Company for $4OC
which will not near pay the heavy loss
sustained by Mr.. Hughes.

STAINED SHIRT IS
new CLEW AGAINST
negro CONVICT
Black Convict To BE Examined Today
New Evidence Indicates Negro
Murdered Miss Laura
Parsons.

Harlan, KY, September 13. - What
was said to be evidence that James
Roberts, negro convict, sentenced from
Lexington, was the slayer of Miss

found near the convict labor camp in
which Roberts is serving a part of his
sentence, according to Deputy Sheriff
c. j. Nolan, of Harlan county.
A heavy guard has been thrown
about the convict camp.
Robert will be examined today be-
fore the Harlan county grand jury that
Will be convened to investigate the
murder. Roberts has been under sus-
picion since a check was made on the
movements Of all convicts Wednesday,
the day the murder was committed
and 1t was found he was out of the
camp at the dinner hour. He would
not explain his movements, officers
said.
Authorities place much value as a
clue on a small purse carried by Miss
Parsons at the time of her murder.
The purse was found Sunday $50 feet
from the place where the woman was
killed. 1t had been rifled of its con-
tents and only parcel post check re-
manned in it. When 1t was taken to
the Harlan postoffice it was found to
be the one given to Miss Parsons when
she checked suit case.
Finger print experts may be asked
to examine the purse.
DR.. H. C, Winnes, arrested last week
in connection with the murder, ac-
companied Sheriff Howard and depu-
ties on their tours of investigation
Sunday. He displayed no emotion, it
is said, when taken to a cliff over
which the body of Miss Parsons was
thrown. DR.. WINES assured the Off
GERS that he would do all in his power
to assist them in solution of the mys-
terry,

STRAW VOTE ON
PRESIDENTIAL RACE
TO Be HELD HERE
Patrons of Washington Theater To Be
= Given Opportunity to Express Pref.
erence In Candidates for
President.

With only few days remaining be-
fore the launching of the greatest
presidential straw vote in history by
motion picture houses throughout the
country Manager Russell of the Wash
ington theater today announced that
all arrangements for the handling of
the ballots at his theater has been
completed.
A consignment of printed straw bal
lot forms has been received and the
straw voting will start at the evening
performance of the Washington The
ater on Monday, September 30 and
will continue through the week.
The local bolloting will be conduct
ted with the cooperation of represen-
tatives of the local press who have
promised their personal supervision.
AS an indication of the nationwide
interest which is taken in the coming
straw vote Associated First National
Pictures in New York City has an
nounced the receipt of applications for
ballot forms from practically every
hamlet in the United States where mo-
tion picture theaters are operated.
Few theaters have requested less than
1000 ballots each, while many have
asked for more than 100000. Indi-
annapolis theaters have made the re-
cord request for 100000 ballot forms,
this figure equalling the estimated
population of that city, The Indian
apolis picture houses based this esti-
mate of the number of ballots they
will need on the large transient popu-
lation from the surrounding country
which patronizes them.
Mr.. Russell declared that a lively
interest is being taken in the local
plans for the straw ballot, especially
among the newly enfranchised women
voters. He says he is daily being
flooded with inquiries as to how 1t
will be conducted. In a statement out
lining the method of procedure, he
said:
"The straw ballot forms will be
handed to theater patrons when they
purchase their tickets. They will be
asked to fill them out, and the ballots
will be collected from them at the
door as they leave the theater We
will exercise special care to see that
the ballots do not fall into the hands
of non-voters, and also to the end that
there will not be any repeating. Chill
dren or youths under age and aliens
| will not be given the ballots of course.
After the local returns have been
totaled and classified the results will
Immediately be made known to the To-
cal newspapers and to Associated
First National headquarters in New
York. the results from other cities
in the state will likewise be promptly
sent to Straw Ballot Headquarters in
New York. From New York we will
next get the results for this state and
finally for the nation. In the early
part of October we expect to learn
from this straw vote just about how
the presidential election will go in
November and also the public attitude
on the League of Nations and light
wines and beer"

small fines in Police Court make no
impression on the brains of fool auto
drivers and few Jail sentences might
solve the problem and save some
lives.
