$50 AND COSTS FOR SHOOTIN'
CRAPS

The Lexington Leader of Tuesday
afternoon had the following sensa-
tioDal story in which well-known
Paris men figured. The Leader
says: :" Craps were sounded In
police court to-day for four young
men, who were arrested shortly be-
fore 2 O'Clock this morning in the
Central Hotel by Patrolmen e.
Jacobs and Barker, on a charge Of
gambling, the specific allegation be-
ing crap game was in progress.
Three of the quartet pleaded guilty
and Judge Riley imposed fine OF
$50 and costs. A fourth, whom his
companions said was in the game,
was given a similar fine. He denied
his guilt, however.
Those fined were registered at
police headquarters as follows: L..
P. Duvall, 81, Louisville; H. M.
Bridges, q, Paris; A. Goldberg, "a,
Paris, and j. H. Moran, SO, Paris.
"Patrolman Barker testified a
complaint was made by the hotel
that gambling was in progress in
Room z, and that the occupants had
failed to register.
"The man registered as Goldberg
was late in arriving and his COM
panions had stated he was in the
game. He denied the allegation,
however, upon his arrival. Two
others caught in the raid were dis
missed as the testimony showed
they were merely spectators"

Bourbon Bank of. Paris, Col. Clay
was made it's president and he was
able ard popular incumbent Of
signed. He served for several years
as President of the kentucky Rae
ing Association, the oldest. turf or
ganiZation in America. In politics
he was aligned as a loyal supporter
of the principles of the Democratic
party, and contributed in generous
measures to the civil and material
advancement of his home county
and State at large. He was a man
Of mentality and broad humantari-
anism. His genial kindness won
him host of friends. In a frater-
nal way he was affiliated with vari :

fraternal organizations:
In 1857 Col Clay began the
breeding of ShorthOrns, which he
continued most successfully until
1875. Following that period he en-
tered into partnership with. the
late George Bowen, former Sheriff
of Bourbon county, in the breeding
of thoroughbred horses. At Mr..
Bowen's death he formed a. partner
ship with Catesby WOOdfOrd, and
together they established the ia
nous Runnymeade Stud. From this
stud came Miss Woodford, Hanover,
Imp. Billet, Hindoo, Six Dixon, JAG
onet (sister of the great Iroeuois) 4.
and many other kings and queens Of
the turf. From the Runnymeade
Stud was sold to Dwyer Bros,

for $4,000, which at that time was
the highest price ever paid for a

the thoroughbred business for love
of the horse, his strict integrity and
high moral character enabled him

his efforts to keep up the standard
of racing. lie is doubtful If there
was a more widely known or more
popular breeder of thoroughbred
horses in America.
On May 8, 1855, Col. Clay mar

which makes it compulsory upon the
City Council to give the City Board
of Education whatever they ask for,

body, at an adjourned meeting.
held Tuesday night, raised the city
tax rate for 1920 thirty-fve cents
In 1919 the rate was S1.55 on the
800 worth of property listed for
taxation, in the city. Under the new
ruling it will be $50, to be dis
tributed as follows:
General purposes, rs cents; Sink
ing Fund, 81 cents; for City School
purposes, rs cents; for Massie Me-
morial Hospital purposes, six cents,

ADJUDGED INSANE

In the County Court, Tuesday.
benjamin Franklin Holder, ageG
about fifty, was given a hearing
before Judge George Batterton in
lunacy proceedings. After hearing
the testimony or physicians and
others, the jury adjudged him to be
Iof unsound mind and ordered his
confinement in the Eastern Ken
lucky Insane Hospital, at Licking
ton, where he was taken Wednesday
Imorning by an ATTENDANT.
Holder became insane over the
acquisition of real estate. He
claimed that he owned one-tenth of
the whole world, and that the end
iof all things terrestrial would be a
matter of but short time. He
wanted to dispose of his one-tenth
interest, but could find no takers,
all the real estate men being away
on important business of their own.
Holder, who is a travelling evan
gelist, approached Deputy Sheriff
Robt. M. Gilkey, while the North
Middletown ChautauGua was in
progress and protested the Chau-
tauqua, stating that such things
were of no value and ought to be
discOurag ed. He told Mr.. Gilkey
that he (Holder) had until a few
weeks ago owned the entire world,
10y q special dispensation from
Heaven, but that it was too big a
| task to keep it going, and he had
given it all away except a one
tenth interest. Mr.. Gilkey soothed
| hom and persuaded him to accom-
| pany him to Paris, where he was

mental condition was made by ply
