Eleven Year Old Son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Trir,ble, Of Winchester,
Meets Sad Fate

Joseph frimble, the 11-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. E. F. Tri1nble. of
Lexington avenue, Winchester, was
drowned Saturday in Kentucky river,
al the lock, where he had gone with
picnic party. The body was not re-
covered until Saturday night after a
party had spent several hours drag
ging the river.
The boy who was member of the
Sunday School class of E. r. Tate of
the First Christian church of Win
chester, was en- route with the other
members Of the party and the coun-
ty line was being crossed for din
ner, when the accident took place.
Young Trimble started to wade in the
river, and he stepped off ledge into
deep water, and his plight was not
discovered until he was sinking for
the third time. 1t is said that he did
not call for help until sinking the
third time and there was no time for
the terrified visitors, who did not
realize his peril, to rescue him. A
searching party was soon formed and
while the immediate vicinity where
the body disappeared was dragged
for some time, no trace of the body
was discovered until late Saturday
night The accident cast gloom
over the remainder of the party, who
sorrowfully watched and assisted in
the search for the body the greater
part of the afternoon.
Young Trimble was favorite
among the children and grown up
people and was an unusually bright
young fellow, having won several
medals in his classes at school. He
is survived by four sisters and bro
theirs besides his parents.

WILL PROSECUTE
TO SAVE BLUEGRASS
First Arrest Made In Attempt Z
Set Example To Eliminate
Old Practice

John Whites a young cOlored man:
was taken into custody Saturday af-
ternoon as a result of q complaint
upon the part of Louis Neal, who
employed him, it is said, to strip blue
grass seed at his farm. White, accord
ing to the contract, was TO gather the
seed on the shares. He is said to
have been a diligent operator. How
ever, it was the manner in which he
did the sharing" that caused the
complaint to be made. The owner of
the farm is said to have stated that
it was not his intention to cause the
boys incarceration particularly. but
to teach lesson to number of men
and boys who have been III the habit
of going to his and other farms and
helping themselves to quantities OF
seed, without the forn,ality Of asking
permission.
This has been habit indulged in
for years to considerable extent
with little or nothing said about, but
the price of the product has changed
the aspect, and owners of blue grass
nowadays are looking aftet it with
special interest. The White case will
be heard in the county court before
Judge W. K. Price, probably late
Monday evening.
This is the first instance of arrest
being made on this charge for some
time. but those raising the seet
stated they are compelled to take
such measures, owing to the increase
in the practice of those who come
unsolicited and help themselves.
