the man of mysterious millions, stood

CLERKS TO REPORT
DEATH OF TAXPAYERS

The law relating to Inheritance tax
passed by the General Assembly,
makes it mandatory upon the part of
the heirs and benefciaries to report
the facts to the State Tax Commits
sion, that the correct amount due the
state from he heirs and beneGciaries
may be ascertained.
The attention of county clerks thru
out the state is being called to this
amendment of the law by the State
Tax Commission which is supplying
the clerks with blanks to be used by
the heirs and beneficiaries in making
report required by law.
The Commission is also furnishing
the county clerks with blanks for re-
porting deaths of taxpayers which
may have occurred between January
and December 80, 1920. This in
formation is required and made ne
cessary by an act of the 1920 Gener-

BRAVE IN BATTLE
BUT TIMID AT HOME
Madison County Ex-Service Man
Finally Reveals Most Extra
ordinary Wound Here

The work of the local Red Cross is
becoming very extensive, and that of
the various government organizations
in behalf of the eX-serive men is be-
ing heard from here and there, from
day to day, demonstrating that the
operations are becoming more and
more extensive, as the work and in
tention of the organization are adver-
tised. A forcible illustration of the
pride and sensitiveness of the average
man, who was so brave on the battle
front, is depicted in not few cases,
Here is one. A young man, a Madison
county ex-service man, who served
his country well across seas, was
wounded in such a manner as to al
most cost him his life, yet the details
are just coming to light, and these
thru the necessity of operating as a
result of the popularity of the wound,
The young man literally had his
jugular vein severed while in action,
and very rare and remarkable as
we'll as timely operation saved his life
for the time being, and he was able
to return home. He is again suffering
from a growth about the important
organ which, it is believed, will neces-
state another operation, the result of
which would be problematical. How
ever, he steadfastly refused to permit
the use of his name regarding the
case. The patient, who is still opti-
mistic, is preparing to have the
wound treated again, and this will
be done under the management of
the most skillful surgeon obtainable,
and it is probable that he will be sent
to some hospital where ne will re-
ceive every care. This is but one of
the many illustrations of the reluc-
lance of the eX-service men in coming
into the limelight at home.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION
TEACHER At E.K.S. N.

In past years on teacher at Eastern
Normal has done the work in express
sion and physical education. The
coming year the work will be divided.
The work in expression will be done
by Miss Rusie Miller, of Springfield,
Ky, who is now in Leland Powers
School, Massachusetts.
President Coates has secured as di-
rectres of Phyical Education for wo-
men and girls the services of Miss
Katherine Hammond, of Welch, w.
Va. Miss Hammond is graduate
of the Sargent School of Physical Ed
ucation, Cambridge, Mass. During
the years 1861, she taught in .
girls boarding school in Massachu-
sets. During 1918-19 she was sup
ervisor of Physical Education in the
public schools in Charleston, w. Va.
For the past four months she has
taught water sports, etc, at Sargent
Camp for Girls, Peterboro, N. HI.
The separation of the work of Ex-
preston and Physical Education will
enable the high school girsl in the
Normal School to secure the advan-
tages Of both these arts.

NORMAL TEACHERS

At the close Of the summer

their posts of duty here to enjoy
an eight weeks vacation.

that the teachers would want to

ton OF school work as possible,
but that is not the case Eleven OF

AS the opening of the local in
stitution does not occur until af-
ter practically every ther school
in the country has begun its work
an opportunity will be afforded
the teachers here to visit and OBJ
serve the work Of the various
schools offering similar work.
Those who are in a position to
know say that the course Of study
and the method of administering
it at the local institution is far
in advance of the majority Of such
schools. With the addition OF sew
eral new instructors in September
the work will be better taken care
of then ever before.

TWO EST!LL SINNERS
ARE BROUGHT HERE
Pro- ibition Officers Make Cap
ture of Still and Whisky at
Old Landing

Anxiety of Ambrose Dunaway,
OF Estill county, to direct federal
revenue officers to a locality
where he said there were signs
of a still excited their suspicious
Friday, so Prohibition Officer
Rowan Sauley, OF Stanford, de-
cided to look over Dunaway's
premises, and the result was that
a fullhedged worm" and other
apparatus for making Shine was
found. Dunaway had previously
been taken in charge when the
officers found him in company of
John H. Watson, who had jar
full Of liquor with him on his
horse when the officers halted the
pair.
When brought to Richmond
Dunaway confessed. Both men
pleaded guilty before u. S. Com
missioner Warheld Bennett late
Friday. Watson was held in $500
bond on a charge of transporting
liquor and Duaway on a charge Of
moonshning. The men said they
would furnish bond Saturday.
Headed by Officer Sauhey, three
officers, the others being Steve
Cornett and Joe NJ. Kavanaugh,
went to the Old Landing section
of Estill county, whre a still had
been reported to be in operation.
The officers had no tangible clue.
but did some prospecting around
the country and soon ran upon
DunaWay and Watson, who were
riding OH horses. Watson had the
goods on him hut DunaWay seem
ed innocent. He offered to take
the officers to another section
where he had heard of whisky be-
ing made. and seemed anxious to
lead them to it, and Saufey be-
came suspicious and apparently
fell i'll with his suggestions. He
told Dunaway that he would re-
lease him when they came to his
house and go on with Watson to
the locality where the still was
reported by Dunaway. Soon Dun
away showed the officer where he
lives at the top of long path
way up hill. He then started to
leave. but was detained while a
search was made with the reSul
that the still was quickly found.
