Like the tabled "will-o-the-wisp.'
which lured travellers by its false
and tickle light, every now and then
there springs up tales of a fortune
coming to heirs of certain estates ir
this country, Among these is the
Baker estate, in which several Paris
and Bourbon county families hope to
share. The Cynthiana Democrat
thus takes a whack at the illusion:
Exchanges contain numerous ref
erences to heirs to the famous
Baker estate claim laid to the sire
of Chillicothe, O., and land in the
suburbs of Philadelphia, Pa, worth
millions. Some in Harrison county
The claim may, of course. have some
thong in it, but as rule such bust
ness amounts to nothing more than
fat fees for INDECENT lawyers. At
the best it means long years of It'll
cation, expense and the chance good
of getting nothing. Still, being an
'heir' to such claim affords the
same sort of pleasurable anticipa-
ton as the possession of a lottery
ticket on betting on a horse race;
There is always hope of winnir G
until the result is announced. Then
you can tear up your ticket and buy
another"

<. q. EULOGIZES CAPT. BASIL
HAYDEN, PARIS

Basil Ewing Hayden, of Paris.
Kentucky, has the UNDUE distinction
Of being captainsof the 1921 wild
CATS of the University of Kentucky,
undisputed champion basket ball
team of the South. Hayden was i
strong favorite with Southern sport
writer's for the role of premier bas-
ket ball player of the S. /. A. A.
tourney, recently won by the wild
CATS at Atlanta. Hayden is Sem
ior at the University and, upon hts
graduation in June, he will leave
behind him a good record.
In the February issue of the At q.
lanta Sunday American, Captain
Hayden was featured in an individ-
ual picture in the act of tossing tc
q basket. In the Atlanta Constitu-
ton of the same date, which featur-
ed a picture of the Kentucky team.
Hayden was mentioned as probably
the best single player in the tourna-
nlent.
Hayden is a graduate of the Paris
High School. While in high school
he was a member of the football and
basketball teams. In 1916 he was
captain of the basket ball team. In
1917 Hayden entered Transylva1tia
College at Lexington and as Fresh
man there he played on the basket
ball and base ball teams. In the
fall of 1918 he entered the Univer-
sity of Kentucky as Sophomore,
and during that year took no part
in intercollegiate athletics because
he was ineligible. In his Junior year
HAYDEN broke the Southern record
for the javelin throw, when he cast
il 1913 feet 8 inches in the S. l. A. A.
rack meet. He broke another rec
ord at Cincinnati when he threw
the discus 100 feet inches. During
the same year Hayden was assistant
manager of the track team, and
made his letter in basket ball. This
spring Hayden will be out for track.
He will enter the javelin and discus
throws and the quarter mile run.
Hayder is enrolled in the College
os Arts and Science 'of the UnlVer-
5ity and is specializing in the study
of chemistry. He is a member OF
AIoha Chi Sigman, National Honor
ary Chemical Fraternity. His minor
study is mathematics. Hayden is
member of the Kappa Sigma Social
Fraternity. Also he is president ol
the Bourbon County Club, an orga-
nization open for membership to all
the students from Bourbon county
attending the University.
1t is needless to say that Captain
HAYDEN will be a member Of tho
MYTHICAL All-Kentucky Basket Bat
Five. while his chances for place or
the more coveted All-Southern qu1n
tet is by no means small.
