Prisoner Lynched;
The Claim Dismissed

Elizaville, Ky, Oct. 16.-G. w.
Powell, deputy sheriff of Fleming
county, has received letter from
Governor Morrow dismissing the
claim made for expenses by Sher-
iff Smith in connection with the
effort to bring back Grant Smith,
colored from Michigan, for trial
in Fleming county for an alleged
assault on white girl IA years
old. Smith was taken from Srer-
iff Powell and Chief of Police
Link, of Paris, upon their arrival
in Paris with the view of keeping
Smith in the Bourbon county jail
until he could be more safely sent
to Fleming county for his trial.
Smith was lynched by a n)5.
Governor Morrow in his letter
says Powell failed to use proper
force to defend the prisoner, and
for that reason he has dismissed
the claim. Sheriff Powell recites
the fact that he and Chief Link
were surrounded by mob with
dozen or more guns -leveled at
them, and that resistance to the
mob would have been useless.

FEW MORE FINED
IN POLICE COURT

Just as he was calling the regular
Friday night session of city police
ciurt to order, Judge Murray Smitl
received a telephone call to which he
responded with the result that he
went directly home, owing to illness
in his family, and the adjourned
meeting resumed Saturday morning.
There was miscellaneous bunch
confronting him, one man being fined
for intoxication as result of having
imbibed too freely in patent medicine.
Another for alleged gambling, and
some youngsters were reprimanded
for shooting craps. The lads were
frightened, it evidently being their
first offense, fact not overlooked by
Judge Smith, in his usual considerate
way, extended some good advice
which, to all appearances, will be
needed in the future. The slate had
been cleaned until the middle of the
week when the misdmeanors were re-
ported.

BURGLAR CUTS
WINDOW SCREEN

Shortly before 2 o'clock Friday
morning, Mrs. George Mccoy, re
siding at 33S North Fifth street,
was awakened by an unusual
noise. She heard the noise at a
rear window and getting up, peer
ed through the glass. She saw the
form of { man, busily engaged in
cutting the screen. She aroused
her husband, who turned on a
light, procured a revolver and sal
lied forth. He reached a rear
door just in time to see the man
run through the yard at the rear
of the home and scale a back
fence. Mr.. Mccoy stated he
could not recognize the man, who
lost no time in getting away, ap-
parent1y frightened when the
light was turned on. An investi-
CATION showed most of the screen
cut from one of the windows and
another had been tampered with.
This is the first time burglars
have been reported for some time
in the city.

PROGRESSIVES TO
BACK GOVERNOR COX
Important Organization Claims
Inability to Stand for Hard
ng's Policy

Columbus, o., Oct. 16-"As Pro-
gressives of Ohio and supporters of
Theodore Roosevelt" the members of
the Progressive State Executive
Committee of Ohio have decided to
support Gov. Cox for president. The
announcement was made by A. A. An
drige, of Cincinnati, as chairman.
Senator Harding is denounced in
the statement to the effect that he
"has demonstrated that he is not a
leader of men but rather a subser-
Went follower of leaders like Penrose,
Lodge and Smoot." 1t is stated that
he always has opposed progressive
movements and referred to the
amendments of 1912 as "the revolu-
tion in Ohio.
On the other hand Gov. Cox is
praised for many reforms, including
the initiative and referendum, and a
program of social justice.

TARvIA ARRIVES;
WORK IS STARTED
City Streets to Receive First At
tenticn-County Work Also
TO be Started Soon

Friday night crew of men and a
car load of material for the streets to
erceive tarvia, arrived in Richmond,
and the work will be started Monday
morning, under the direction of Coun-
Gilman John Altman. The work of the
city will be finished, it is expected,
before that of the county is taken up,
owing to the fact that the material is
here and the desire of the citizens OF
Richmond to have the improvement as
soon as possible. The tarvia will be
placed on East Main street, connect
ing with the end of the street paving
and with the railway crossing i'm
provement, will render this entrance
to the city one of the best. 1t will
stop the necessity of filling holes with
stones during the winter, an expen-
sive and arduous task.
The work will be taken up at the
end of the paving on Lancaster aven-
ue and extend to the limits of the
city, according to present plans.
There will also be tarvia placed on
lower Walnut street, the citizens
there having petitioned City Council
man Charles Terrill some time ago
and were assured that they would get
the improvement. This street has
been greatly beautified during the
present summer through the residents
taking civic pride, their pocketbooks
and paint brushes, and proceeding
with complete transformation in the
way of improvement work.
The county work will be taken up
later, and with the arrival of the rest
of the material, will not interfere
with the work of the city, since the
men employed by the county will
have charge of most of the work of
placing the tarvia on the county
roads. The Irvine road is one that
will receive the first attention. There
are a number of other county high
ways to be treated. The big force
of men employed in the county to the
north have completed their work and
Madison county will now be given at
tention with the result that the worl,
will be finished, it is believed, within
short time. County Engineer J.
G. Baxter is preparing to start the
work as soon as possible, and vii!
pull a number of men from their
present work and place them in
charge of the work of applying the
new highway dressing.

ing most isteresting talk on Y. M.
c. A. work generally, which organiza-
ton is at the head of the movement
The instructive discourse was enjoyed
by a large number. The various
phases of the work was outlined, and
some interesting facts concerning its
origin and maintenance, together
with the work refuired 10 nlaitain its
standard were presented. Prof. Lewis
is most interesting speaker, and the
manner in which he presented the in
formation appealed to all who hearc
him.
Thomas Baldwin, on "Successful
Farming" will be the speaker next
Friday night. This will appeal to
many of the young men from the ru-
raj districts, who are coming in for
their share of recognition this year
at the school. They will be treated
to both early and modern manners in
which successful farming is main
tained, the progressiveness of the
country in general due to the late
methods of expediting work on the
farm, together with the manner of
selecting seed, and other matters per-
tanning to the essential points in ag
riculture.

NEW BURGLAR ALARM IS
VERY "TOUCHY" AFFAIR

The new burglar alarm at the Mad
ison National Bank has been installed
properly and is said to be one of the
most complete and "touchy" in ex-
istence. When the big vault doors
are now closed for the day, there is
absolutely nothing doing in the way
of manipulation, since there is most
intricate electric wire system, that is
susceptible to the least touch, and the
big gong in the front of the building
will sound and alarm, regardles of the
time of day or night. The apparatus
is so arranged that the wire connec-
ton cannot be cut, hence the COM
plete safety of the vault and imme-
diate vicinity from molestation in any
way 1t is the only one of the kind
in this part of the country. 1t is un-
derstood number of banks in other
cities are preparing to install similar
devices.

able interest is manifest.
Candidates for office have until
Monday evening to file their pc
titions. It is known there have
been a nr1nber of well known resi-
dents who have aspired to the po-
sition as member of the board
who have filed their petitions. IT
is a fact. also that a number of
the members of the present board
have their petitions in for the first
election 1t is not known wheth-
er all the members of the pres
ent board will desire ia stay. All
have, as a matter of fact, not filed
election petitions Some of them
have been serving faithfully for a
number of years and have gained
extensive knowledge of the man
ner of conducting the business
connected with the schools of the
county.
Parents of children in some in
stances also assert they have
candidates whom they will urge
to race for the positions. This,
however, is highly speculative as
to results. The office of board
member entails much work, time
and consideration. knowledge
of school progress as we'll as the
management increases the value
of the member, as we'll the inter
ests of the county. Members of
the present board recently inau-
gurated a system of regular meet
ings. These are just beginning.

subject to a called meeting at

have devoted much time to the
interests of the schools.

MASON TRIPLETS
CREATE COURT Stir

When the name of Robert Mason
was called to give testimony in a
case in the circuit court on Friday
morning, little attention was paid.
However, when the name of Rankin
Mason was called and there was a
"dead image" of the retiring wit
ness presenting himself, there was
some interest shown by the liberal
number present. This was nothing to
the degree of interest, when the name
of Alexander Mason was called, and
another "duplicate" was presented.
They young men are not only broth
ers, but are triplets, and their pres
ence in the court room created con-
siderable attention. The Mason
brothers, sons of Mr.. and Mrs. John
c. Mason, residing south of the city
in the Kavanaugh neighborhood, are
apparently 30 years old, and, accord
ing to the saying, "alike as three
peas" They are testifying in a case
whereby they hope to establish the
official line for division of property
recently purchased. When seated
side by side, there is such resem-
blaenc that when ones name is called
either could respond without being
definitely recognized, except by one
very familiar with them. Two of them
served in the navy during the war,
the third being left according to the
board.

MODEL HIGH WINS
FROM WINCHESTER
Coach Embree's Eleven Takes
Snappy Games Here Friday
Afternoon by rs to O

The Model High school eleven,
playing its first game of the sea-
son, piled up a score Of 26 points
to 0 for the Winchester High
school team on the Normal school
field Friday afternoon. The two
teams were about evenly matched
in weight and from the first kick
off showed real fighting spirit, but
the excellent playing of Captain
Bill Crutcher and his men proved
too much for the Winchester
team and no time during the game
was the home goal in any immedi-
ate danger. The players of each
team showed the true qualities of
real sportsmanship had been in
culcated in them from the begin
ming of the season
Coach Hembree has material
out of which high school team
of the finest caliber will be made
and for the past week or SO has
been giving them some zeal work
outs. From the game Friday it
seems that about the most prom
ising player is Bill Crutcher, cap
tain of the Model team, who gain
ed the admiration of the men on
both teams as we'll as that of the
spectators by his steady line
p1unging and broken field run
ming. On forward passes and end
runs, however the line came up
with its part by always being able
to hold the visitors. Blanton,
quarterback of the home team,
used his head to good advantage
in the running of the team, and
under his direction the ball was
kept in the opponents end Of the
field at all times. Adams, who
was playing in the back field after
one days practice in that position,
made several good gains. Kit
Crutcher, brother of the captain,
is showing up as sure tackler
and, although only a young chap,
seems to be producing the goods
as a defensive player.
There was splendid crowd out
for the game. The Model High
team will have another game
within the next week ,and Coach
Hembree is making preparations
to whip the youngsters into even
better fighting shape. He is
handicapped to a large extent i'll
that there are not enough fellows
out for either the Normal team
or the High school eleven to in
sure scrirnmage during the daily
practice, but regardless Of this in
convenience he is doing some ad-
mirable work with the fellows on
both teams, as is evidenced in the
winning of the two games from
Paint Lick by the Normal team
and the outcome Of Fridays
game.
