LANCASTER MARSHAL
UNDER $4,000 BOND

Marshal Luther Heron, who
shot and killed Robert Strange,
colored, at the Lancaster depot
Friday morning, was held over to
the grand jury in $500. County
Judge Stapp was sick and there
were several absent witnesses
when the examining trial was
called this morning. The opinion
seems to be general that Marshal
Heron acted purely in self de-
tense The negro, who had shot
aim through the body and head
some six years ago, and had serv-
ed a term at frankfort for it,. had
made many threats against the
officer and carried a pistol for him

YOUNG man LOSES
ARM IN ACCIDENT
Oscar Cooper Of kirksvilIe,
Brought 10 Gibson Hospital
Seriously Injured

Oscar Cooper, 10, son of Mr.. and
Mrs s,/James Cooper, living at KIM
III, near Irvine, was brought to the
Gibson hospital Wednesday morning
where his left arm amputated at the
shoulder as the result of an accident
at the home of his parents Tuesday
afternoon. The young man had been
plowing when driven to shelter by
the rain. He procured a shotgun and
was going hunting when he stopped
in the diningroom of his home and it
was while adjusting some part of the
weapon, when it was accidently dis
charged, the whole contents of the
shell entering the arm just below the
shoulder. Physicians were hastily
summoned and the wound dressed but
it was found that amputation was
necessary and he was brought to the
Richmond institution where the opera
tion was performed. While the con-
dition of the accident victim is quite
serious, it is believed that he will re-
cover.
Young Cooper, who is well and
popularity known in the vicinity of
Kimball, is said to have held up
bravely after the distressing accident,
and even after the operation which
cost him one Of his arms. The SYM
pathy of a host of friends in and near
his home town is extended.

A HIGH QUALITY
PROGRAM OFFERED
Array of Artists For May Music
Festival Not ExceIIed In
Great Cities

With the opening of the May
Music Festival Thursday night
the first opportunity will be pre-
sented to many to realize and ap-
preciate the extensive facilities
for accommodating a large crowd
and entertaining on large scale.
For the first time, many will see
and appreciate the elaborate i'm
provements recently made. One
of these will be the elegant hard
wood floor of the aauditorium the
big stage, bordered with foot
lights, giving the stage a pretty
effect, and thc new opera chairs,
increasing the seating capacity to
at least 600. Another will be the
specially painted scenery and the
drop curtains, depicting the artis-
tic ability and work of Miss Maud
Gibson, teacher n the art depart
ment of the school. This work
alone has attracted the attention
of many.
That there will be music-lovins
people from far and near during
the festival is assured, since there
have been many inquiries from
out of the city. Cincinnati will
be represented, not only by a
number of musicians Of note, but
by number who are contemplate
ing being in attendance, especial
ly on Friday night, it is said. The
sale of tickets insures a good at
tendance by those residing nearer
and who will be fortunate enough
to be present each evening.
On the opening night the pro-
gram will constitute a list that
promises to fiji the entire evening
with a round OF music and enter
tanning features of a high quail
ty. The chorus of $50 will be
amply accommodated, together
with the solo artists, owing to
the adequate stage area.
The final rehearsals are arrang
ed for and tonight there will be an
Iassemblage OF singers who viii
put on the final touches to their
preliminary practice work, DR..
IS. S. Myers, general director OF
the chorus, is of the belief that
many do not realize the excellcn.
quality to be presented by the
Rchfnohd singers and stated to-
I'dag' that there. Vas Vas treat III
FStore FOR all !, that the manner i'll
which the members acquitted
themselves Was out of the ordin-
airy and above. the average il
point Of harmony and voice.
The program, including the
Especial chorus, will be repletc
with such artists as August Pet
ers, Anthony Scath, and Harry
Schnick, violinists, Mr.. John a
Hoffman, celebrated tenor, to
getker with the full festival
chorus, and nothing but the besi
in music is being mentioned, be
sides this is but a few who vii
be seen and heard. In fact, the
program contains such an ARA.
of special features that none car
be disappointed.
A Cincinnati man, when hand
ed one of the Programs, could no
believe that it would all be pre-
scnted at the festival, "You have
a wonderful array OF musicians
and all artists-a program that i
seldom equalled in the create
cities" )" he continued. "Why
right here in Cincinnati, we dc
not get all OF this in one evening
as a rule. You are indeed for
tunate in being able to present ;
bill Of this magnitude and char
acter. We seldom get this ARA,
of musical talent paying from S.
to $40 per seat"

CHANGES NOT NEEDED YET

The opinion seems to be general in
the northern section of the state that
no changes in the big game laws are
necessary as yet. This game country
has not as yet reached the point
where it is necessary to take steps to
conserve wild deer. Petitions to this
effect have been signed in Virginia
to be forwarded to State Game and
Fish Commissioer Avery
The fear that some drastic change,
such as closing the season for. big
game, will be made, is the cause of
the activity among sportsmen. More
feared of all the changes is the one
buck law, now in force in Wisconsin,
and which is generally declared a
failure. When the matter comes up
for the consideration of the legisla-
ture at the coming term, great pres
sure will be brought to bear from the
northerm part of the state to induce
the lawmakers to leave the game laws
as they now are or to make such
changes as will make them more ap-
plicable. According to all accounts
the season on beaver should be OPEN
ed as these have driven the moose
from the country by damming up the
streams and flooding out the moose
feeding grounds. Some are of the
opinion that shortening of the deer
season would remedy matters.
