DEPUTY SHERIFF. SHOT

f. L. Lyttle, deputy sheriff, living
in Sunshine, was shot and mortally
wounded while chasing some moon
sinners up on Poor Fork about two
miles from this city.
The moonshine party consisted OF
one man and two women, mounted
on mules, and as Lyttle demanded
their surrender another man stepped
out of the bushes and shot him in
the back. The party then all made
their escape and up to the time we
go to press nothing had been heard
concerning them. II is thought the
two supposedly women might have
been men dressed in wpmen's cloth
ing.
Lyttle was taken to the Harlan
Hospital where it is said there is
absolutely no chance for his recovery

ERNST HEARTILY ENDORSED
BY WOMEN VOTERS

If the women of Kentucky are 60
ing to play as important a part in
the fall campaign as predicted, it be-
gins to look as tho Richard p. Ernst,
of Covington, candidate for the U.
s. Senate, is going to win in a walk
walk.
Asserting that Ernst has accom-
plished great things" for Kentucky,
not only in civic enterprises and
charities. but also in church work
and war work, the women, regard
less of party Affiliations, are rallying
to his banner, announcing their "un-
divided support"

planning to do for Ernst. says a mem
Der of the Kenton County Equal
Franchise Association.
I'VE are going to carry the good
work right into the mems territory

An idea of what the women are
planning to do for Ernst can be OBJ
tanned from the following indorse-
ments:

missed by members of the Home Pro-
tective League of Covington in a re-
solution that was adopted unani-

which comprises some of the most
prominent women in Northern Ken

by the Covington's Woman's Club.
The resolution said in part:

added: BE it further resolved; Thai
all movements looking to the educa

the city and state have always had
prompt and generous support from
