TWO INJURED IN AUTO COLLISION
SATURDAY.

An automobile containing Mrs. Fra
zier Lebus and Rasty Wright, both of
Lexington, collided Saturday after
noon, with a machine in which G..
Wright, Mrs. Ollie McCarty and her
seven-year-old son, Wilson Douglas
Barlow, of Paris, were riding. Rasty
Wright sustained a badly fractured
leg and Mrs. Lebus deep cut on the
chin, besides numerous bruises about
the body. The little boy was severely
shaken up. The accident occurred a.
a point on the Lexington pike, about
two miles from Lexington The
others escaped injury. The injured
were taken to the Good Samaritan
Hospital, where their injuries were
dressed. Mrs. Lebus was removed to
her home.
Mrs. Lebus was driving new
Packard car. With her, besides Mr.
Wright, was Misses Frances and Mary
Calder, both of Lexington. The Paris
party were in a Buick touring car. In
attempting to pass the Lebus car the
Paris car skidded and turned COM
pletely around, striking the Lebus
car. Both cars were badly damaged.
This is the third time within a year
that Rasty Wright has had his leg
broken. Last summer his right leg
was broken while he was playing
baseball, and in January his left
ankle was broken when party of
which he was a member was struck
while sleigh riding on Cramer ave-
nue.. All the parties declared the ac-
cident to have been unavoidable on
account of the roads being smooth
and wet

LIGHTNING STRIKES HOME

During an electrical storm which
prevailed yesterday afternoon a bolt
of lightning struck a chimney at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. B. Purnell,
on Pleasant street. The lightning
passed down the chimney fue, tearing
a hole in the side of the wall, and
passing out an open door, In it's me
anderings the lightning scattered a
cloud of SCOT through the house, but
doing no further damage Mrs. Pur-
nell and daughter, Miss Rebeeca
Purnell, were in front room at the
time, and were unhurt. Everybody
in the immediate vicinity thought the
lightning had struck in his own
place, and there was great conster-
nation for few moments.

TOBACCO DAMAGED BY HAIL

A hailstorm of unusual severity
which visited the northeastern part
of Bourbon county about three o'clock
Saturday afternoon, did great dam
age to tobacco and other growing
crops. Forty-six acres of tobacco on
the farm of James Caldwell felt the
full force of the hail, which riddled
the leaves like shot. The tobacco ON
James McClure's farm near Paris
also suffered great damage. In some
places the leaves were torn from the
stalks by the violence of the icy pei
lets. The hail fell over an area about
a quarter of mile wide. The hail
was preceded by heavy wind and
rain. Several stalks of tobacco
brought to Paris by Lew Taylor and
Monte Martin looked as if the leaves
had been through a shotgun battle
On the farm of Charles s. Ball, on
the Maysville pike, near Paris, the
hail riddled crop of thirteen acres
of growing tobacco. Mr.. Ball stated
yesterday that the damage was total,
not stalk standing being worth cut
ting. The wind also added to the
damage one to the crop on James Nc
Clure's farm.
The hail was also very destructive
in Scott county, running great deal
of tobacco. On the farm of VIM. L.
Nutter, near Georgetown, about
twenty acres of the weed ready to
cut. was ruined. There was no In
surance, except on the part owned By
]. D. Wilson. Several acres OF to-
bacco on the farm of ]. ID. Ewing
were also ruined.
The hail was also very destructive to
the tobacco crop being raised by Capt.
Robt. Harbeson, on his farm near
Paris. The tobacco. as in the other
cases, was riddled through like
sieve, and ruined.

DEATH RIDES WITH HAYES AS
GUEST

Little did VIM. Hayes, of Mays
vile think, when he left Nicholas
vile, early Friday morning, that he
would ride into Paris with corpse
as a guest. Death rode with Hayes,
bringing his companion, Charles G..
Kuhn, of Maysville, into Paris dead.
Kuhn and Hayes, both of Maysville,
had been employed at the Lexington
Club Distillery, in Jessamine county,
Hayes as assistant superintendent,
and Kuhn as guard. Mr.. Kuhn had
been ill for several days, and ex-
pressed a desire to reach his old
home in Maysville.
They left Nicholasville at $3.50
o'clock Friday morning, driving
through in Mr.. Hayes car. When
the car reached the corner of Fifth
and Main streets Mr.. Hayes noticed
his companion had collapsed in the
seat beside him. Stopping the ma
chine he asked help of two men who
were coming to work. The stricken
man was hurried to the Office of DR..
J. T. Brown. After an examination
DR.. Brown pronounced Kuhn dead,
death, in his opinion, being due to
neuralgia of the heart.
Coroner Rudolph Davis was mott
fed of Kuhn's death and immedi-
ately conducted an investigation, de-
Gliding that a formal inquest was un-
necessary.
The body was removed to the un-
dertaking establishment of Geo. r.
Davis, and prepared for burial. Rel
atives in Maysville were notified and
the body was turned over to Mays
Vile undertaken, who took it to that
city Friday afternoon for burial.
Kuhn is survived by his widow,
two daughters and one son.
The funeral of Kuhn took place at
the family home on West Second
street. in Maysville, Sunday after
noon at two o'clock, with services
conducted by Rev. John Barbour, of
the First Presbyterian church. The
interment followed on the family 10.
in the Maysville Cemetery.

HUNTER HAS NARROW ESCAPE

Wtoodford Spears and Douglas
Thomas, ST., went dove hunting one
day last week, and thereby hangs q
tale" as the fictionists put 1T. They
took their stations in a field wnero
they patiently waited the appearance
of the elusive birds. The birds were
slow in coming in. On the alert M
Thomas thrust his head from benea.n
it's concealment, looking for signs Oh
birds. Equally on the alert, MI.
Spears mistook Mr.. Thomas thatca
for apoor, innocent, little dove,
poured a load of shot in that
direction. Three pellets struck MT.
Thomas near the nose, coming peril
ously near the eye, but doing no Sc
rious damage. Explanations ana
apologies followed, and all went
well-but dove shooting for them
was over that day.

CONGRESSMAN CANTRILL AD-
DRESSES LARGE AUDIENCE
OF GROWERS.

gresham j. Campbell Cantrill ad-
dressed large audience at the court
mousse yesterday afternoon, composed
OF representative tobacco growers
and farmers of the county, on the
merits of the co-opertive Burley to-
Dacco marketing plan, which is max
Ing new converts daily. Mr.. Cantriil
was introduced to his auditors by
Mr.. Samuel Clay, Chairman of the
Bourbon county branch of the Asso-
citation, in a neat speech.
Mr.. Cantrill spoke for over two
hours, during which time he held
the undivided attention of his au-
ditors by a plain, simple but elo-
puent and convincing talk on the
merits of the marketing plan. He
told of being in greensboro a few
days ago, and at other places where
he cited Bourbon county as a model
for the other counties to follow, and
that he believed the county would
reach a full one hundred per cent.
in it's canvass by the fifteenth Of
November. His speech bristled with
an array of facts and figures on a
subject with which none is better
acquainted than himself, and ended
with an eloquent plea for those who
had not signed the contract to do
SO at once, as means of protection
against the gigantic tobacco trust
which sought to take from them
their hard earned money. His
speech was a splendid one, and
brought out applause on all the tell
ing points At the conclusion of the
address Mr.. Cantrill was surrounded
by admirers and congratulated OH
the success of his mission.
According to statement made by
Sampel Clay, Chairman of the Bour-
bon county branch of the Association,
fully seventy-five per cent. and pos
sibly more of the tobacco crop in
Bourbon county this year has been
pledged to the cooperative plan, in
GLIDING a total of $4,000 pounds,
with twenty contracts not included.
The work of the organizers will not
stop with this, but will continue un-
til ninety-five per cent. and If posi-
bile, one hundred per cent. is secured
in pledges for the Association plan.
Bourbon county is the first in the
State to secure the desired amount
pledged.

The New Certificate Issue

The Street was rather taken by sur
prise yesterday at the announcement
of the s200,O00,000 new issue of Az
and 41a per cent Treasury certificates
of Indebtedness. An offering had been
expected, but it was believed that the
interest rates, would not be less than
4sA per cent and certainly not below
~ per cent. AS annouSsed from
Washington the issue is in two series,
one running for FIVE months at Az per
cent and the other for ten months at
AZ per cent. A heavy oversubscrip-
ton is looked for. In fact, because Of
the expectation that the demand for the
issue will run far in excess of the
amount, some dealers in the financial
district were willing yesterday to bid
a premium of JIG over par for the 4hs
on when issue" basis.

Stocks Resume
Uptur1l, With
Oils i'm Van
Cotton Rises, but Wheat and
the European Exchanges
Drop Lower; Banking
Position Little Changed

! The upward move in the stool
market, which was temporarily halted
on Wednesday when the short covering
efforts had spent their force, was re
sumed yesterday. The tendency of al
groups OF stocks was upward and clos
ing quotations were only slightly below
the high prices of the day. Trading
remained fairly inactive and the aver
age gains were relatively slight.
Among the domestic oil shares
Pacific Oil was once more the leader
Behind the action of this stock is the
sustained, but not officially confirmed
commission house gossip to the effect
that the Standard Oil Company Of Cali
fornia is interested in the enterprise
Another impulse making for higher
prices for the oil shares is the definite
passing of the panicky period of de-
moralization in the petroleum industry
which only few months ago caused
folk to dump oil securities into the
marketplace without consideration of
intrinsic worth. The Improvement in
the industry is closely associated with
the change in the speculative attitude
The steel shares were firm, partly be-
cause the quarterly statement OF the
Steel Corporation, though measuring
the recent depression, was more favor
able than anticipated. After the market
closed the earnings report for the
three months ended September 80 of
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation was
made public, and told a better story
than the reports of other companies in
the industry. Bethlehem was the one
company which earned the dividend on
its common stock during this period of
greatest inactivity and recession The
company for the nine months more
than earned it's dividend on both
classes of stock
Behind the firmness of the railroad
shares were assumptions regarding the
outcome of the threatened breach be-
tween railroad men and management.
Apparently there was some belief in
speculative quarters that the peace pro-
posal of the Railroad Labor Board
might lead at least to postponement
OF the threatened strike. At any rate,
spectators are of the opinion that no
matter what happens the men are not
likely to carry strike to successful
conclusion, which would be damaging
to the interests of stockholders.
The changes in the position of the
Federal Reserve system were slight
last week. Call money yesterday lent
at 5h end 6 per cent. The frmness
was again ascribed to preparations for
November / disbursements.
Sterling and the other European ex-
changes again moved lower Wheat
prices continued to decline, but cotton
quotations rallied.

Bethlehem Steel Earns Dividends

The statement issued by President
Grace, after the close of yesterday IS
stock market, that the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation in the September quarter
more than earned its common dividend,
was an agreeable surprise to the Street,
in view of the deficits shown by the
United States Steel Corporation and
Independents like Republic and Lacka-
wanna. 1t should be borne in mind,
however, that Bethlehem gets part of
its income from the shipbuilding bust
ness, but during the September quarter
this could not have been very profit
able. At any rate the showing is re-
markable, considering the depression
in industry generally.
