OIL STOCKS LEAD
In CURB TRADING
Numerous Issues Show Small
Improvement in Broad
Street Market.

Further small Improvement was noted
in numerous issues dealt in yesterday In
the curb market. although the upward
movement was marked by considerable
irregtiIsrity In fluctuations The market
started poorly. but gathered strength be-
fore midday. when q light demand sent
values slightly higher. Movements again
were uncertain In the afternoon. but
business during that period was prac-
tically at standstill.
Oils were most prominent in the mar
ket. although considerable attention was
diverted to bonds Demand for the latter
slackeHed and bids had to be lowered
slightly. The one firm spot IN the group
was Allied Packers. which made sub
stantial gain. Grand Trunk rs, 1910.

An unusually large number of indus

vidgal sales were small and mostly OF

GRAIN MARKET.

Heavy short covering inspired by re-
ports that farm organizations were
urging farmers TO hold wheat and an
nouncement OF good overnight export
business caused the advance or SN 10
10k cents bushel In yesterdays wheat
market. Shorts bought from the OUT
set, and as n result the market as
played 6uoyant tone throughout It's
session. The facts that more than
million bushels were worked overnight
and that most of them went to Spain
led traders to believe that more would
he worked during tho session. Although
no figures were given out 1t was the
general opinion that some wheat had
been sold to European interests. The
covering movement was aided by the
report that Gov. Allen OF Kansas had
denounced trading TACTICS in wheat and
had petitioned President Wilson to place
an embargo on Canadian wheat and
close the Chicago Board Of Trade IL nee
essary.
That report, however, lost its influence
as the session progressed, because al
though IL was realized that the Presi-
dent had tho power to place an embargo
on Canadian wheat. In view OF the TACT
that tho drop In American markets had
placed both grains practically on the
ton was unlikely. But the advance was
not checked, because many believed that
tho declines OF the last three weeks had
strained the technical condition OF the
market and that rise was In order.
Advances of az TO Q cents a bushcl
were recorded in the corn market and
were due for the most part to the In
fluence OF wheat. the rise In the major
cereal stimulating shorts to cover.
There was also some buying on belief
that the market had become ovcrsold
after such breaks az II had been under
going and was ready for a rally. Ad-
varces In corn. however. were checked
AZ times by selling. due TO the fact that
tho large crop was nearly MADE and
had escaped serious damage from frost
despite It's iateness.
oats were dominated entirely by the
action OF other grains, shorts being led
10 cover with the advances In wheat and
corn. Selling by cash interests and
longs, however. caused frequent reac-
tions.

A GREAT SUCCESS

receive a spray mixture.
Some day this little Fair will be
instrumental in pointing out the big
ger possibilities in Knox County, be-
cause it is an indisputable fact that
we have only scratched it's produc-
ing possibilities as yet.
Great credit is due to all who so
ably handled the Fair and all that
pertained to it which should have
been the most successful enc held

the whole thing appeals to the
younger generation who later will
take up the work of showing that
scientific theories when combined
with knowledge of how to do
things, will bring results.

to see the work of the Red Cross as

Great credit is due Mrs. Tuggle
for the interest she is taking in this
splendid work and it is hoped that
all the ladies will rally TO her sup
port and thus make the work of
Miss Effie Jump, Red Cross Nurse,
more effective for the county. When

had been used for mixture of Ar
senate of lead has been taken from

On Friday the display from the
different schools over the county ar
rived at the Court House and in
such quantities as to assure one of
the most instructive arguments that
could be presented as to what may
be grown in Knox County.
Splendid corn, popcorn, onions,
cushaws, cabbage. pumpkins, broom
corn, peanuts, potatoes, sweet pota-
toes. apples. pears, beans, etc, all
gave evidence what Knox County
can do when its citizens tickle the
soil.
The Barbourvillc Graded School
had a display of IS products of gar
den, field and forest. A bank CT
flowers added beauty to the display.
a chicken coop, areoplane, road

skillful young hands. helped to show
the road to prosperity and progress
The needle work display was a
proof of the fact that our girls are
being trained to useful pursuits
The written work of the children
drew much praise for neatness and
also for the good sense and think
ing powers of the young folks.
Some fine displays of canned veg
etables and fruits were seen. The
Barbourville Graded School had
most creditable display. Cakes Of
fine quality and flavor were also en-
tered for prizes.
Schools actively represented at
the Fair Saturday were Barbour

Graded and High Schools. Parents
and Parent Teacher Associations al
so took places in this procession
The children from the country
schools were dressed in holiday cos
tunes which added most pleasing
effect to their youth and beauty.
The Graded Schools were led by
Scouts on bicycles gayly decorated
with National colors. Banners ex-
pressing their approval of good
roads and streets were carried by
the young stalwarts. Each child was
identified by a blue "B" cut out
of cardboard and worn on the arm.
On arrival at the Public Square
the youngsters went thru marching
evolutions which proved most eff
fective. AS they marched they sang
and the exhibition of their youth
full spirits and happiness brought
smiles to the faces of their elders
who doubtless recalled the days of
.auld lang syne, when they too were
looking forward to a future which
should be all happiness.
Owing to the horrible tragedy
which occurred, the march after
lunch and long list of sports was of
course abandoned.

One OF the most CHASTITY and hor-
rible tragedies that has ever taken
place in Knox County was consum-
mated Saturday about 1:l0 p. NJ.
when Levi Lee, merchant. farmer,
stockman and deputy sheriff, was
shot to death In the Public Square
in the presence of the little children
Of the schools OF Knox County.
1t was County School Fair Day
and from about 8 q. m. the Square
had rung with the songs and merri-
ment OF the children who are to be
our future citizens. Many Of these
with their parents had Just Hsished
their lunches and Davis Bend school
had swung into line and song. pre-
psratory to the grand march, when
from the direction OF the Harris
Restaurant there rang out some
shots. Those who have lived In the
sections where the sound Of q pis-
toll shot is seldom heard, thought
that a giant fire cracker had been ex-
ploded in honor OF the occasion. but
this thought was soon dispelied
when a man, who proved to be Levi
Lee, lurched across the space be-
tween the Harris Restaurant and
the Court House Square. followed
by a young man who proved to be
Jack Gilbert, who runs Q lumber
business near the L. Z N. Depot.
Arriving at the curb Of the Court
House, Lee stumbled and fell. The
man following him with pistol in
hand, leaned over him and struck
the wounded man over the head
with the butt Of his revolver. He
then reached for Lees own revolver
and fired several shots into his hack
In spite OF his terrible wounds. Lee
staggered to his feet snt tottered-
across toward the Harris-Wilson
sidewalk, followed by Gilbert who
continued to fire as he followed.
One of the bullets. evidently q spent
one that had passed thru some por-
ton of the body OF Lee. eptared the
shoulder of Charlie Patterson. Of
Davis Bend who had come In TO at
tend the Fair. Fortunately the shot
produced only a superficial wound
and the bullet was found In his
shirt bosom when he went to the
Logan Sanitarium to have II dress
ed.
Meantime, Bill Smith, OF Big Rich
land, went to the help of Levi Lee
and steadied him to the door Of the
Harris Restaurant intending to en-
ter but Lee collapsed in front OF the
door at which a few moments be-
fore he had parted with his wife
and children. Medical men quickly
realized that the case was hopeless
and Mr.. Lee was carried to the Lo-
gan Infirmary. his death occurring
in perhaps thirty minutes following
the shooting.
After the usual legal questions
had been prcpounded the dying man
made statement to the eject that
he was starting to feed his mules
and Jack Gilbert asked him what he
was doing here and went to shoot
Ing him in the front and back" He
also said he had no thought OF hurt
