BOURBON CIRCUIT COURT

hoDdrt HARDING, OF Nicholas
county, was given a sentence of one
year in the Frankfort Reformatory
on charge of stealing an automo-
bile. At the same time the automo-
bile was stolen, Harding stole a
valuable dog belonging to farm
er in Nicholas county. The machine
which belonged to Bourbon county
man, was recovered in Greencastle,
Indiana, where Harding had taken
it.
A case which for it's peculiar end
ing was declared to have been with
out precedent in this Court, was
threshed out by Judge Stout. R. b.
Hutchcraft, of Paris, leased a portion
of one of his farms to C. S. Crosse
and his two sons, to be worked on
the shares. When the time for set
tlement arrived Mr.. Hutchcraft
presented SEVERAL claims for damages
to his tenants, alleging they had
failed to properly raise and harvest
the crops, and had allowed their
stock to trespass in the fields, caus-
ing damage to the extent of $1,000.
Grose and sons filed counter suits for
a less amount. The trial of the case
! occupied the time of the court for an
| entire day, a large number of wit
nesses being examined. At the close
of the testimony Judge Stout told
the jury he was unable to give them
any instructions, and for them to re-
tire and do the best they could. In
few moments the jury returned
with the following verdict: 1--WE
| the jury, find nothing for the de,
PENDANTS and nothing for the plain
tiff" The question arises, who
will have to pay the costs in the
case?
In the case of Emil Houk, charged
with having stolen touring car be-
longing to B. L. Day, insurance
man, of Paris, on the night of March
18th. He was found not guilty

CALIFORNIA MEN TO DRILL FOR
OIL NEAR PARIS

About seventy years ago prospec-
tors in this section of the Bluegrass
who had migrated here from other
fields, struck flow of oil at a depth
of seventy-five feet, on the old Hill
dreth place on the Clintonville
pike, now owned and occupied by
Gano Hildreth. The wells were
never developed and the strike at
tanned no commercial Importance.
About twelve years ago two wells
were drilled on the farm now owned
by Squire Lee Stephenson, two on
the Haggard place, and one on the
Ed. Sparks farm, the two former
showing oil, and the latter gas
These also were allowed to go unde-
velOped.
With a view to developing and
exploiting these lands for oil, a
of California, and capitalized at
of California; and capitalized at
$4,000, has secured leases on a
large acreage of land in that vicin-
ity, on which they propose to do a
great amount of work, sinking wells
and giving the territory a thorough
workout. Among the men inter-
ested in the company are I. S. Coop
err, of Los Angeles, Cali, formerly
of Clintonville, G. H. Clay, banker,
of Los Angeles, Frank B. Darr, OF
Los Angeles, banker, who is presi-
/ dent of the organization, and other
men of finance, who have become in
terested.
The company has secured leases
on the following: Lee Stephenson
farm, 400 acres; Charlton Alexander
farm, 200 acres; George X. Jones,
1915 acres; Ed. Sparks, $50 acres;
Mrs. Ed. Turner, 500 acres; Judge
lShackleford (Richmond) 700 acres;
Letitia, Joseph and Frank Clay, l.
600 acres; ]. J. Haggard, 200 acres.
A drilling outfit of the latest i'm
proved type, costing $4,000, Will De
put to work in the field drilling
wells between Paris and Clintonv1lle-
The stock is all to be held by mem
bers of the company, the money to
be expended in legitimate drilling
and developing operations. None
will be offered for sale to the pub
lie.
Mr.. Cooper. who has been resi-
Ident of the Texas and Cal1forn1a
oil fields since leaving his Bourbon
home several years ago, stated &C
THE NEWS that the company Is
confident of making strike In
their territory, as the undevelopeo
wells of many years ago showed the
Ipresence of oil around the territory

this is not a wildcatting or a stock
floating scheme, but a legitimate
business proposition, in which th'
Los Angeles financiers had such I'm
plicit faith that they propose Y
use their own money in developins
it. Ho stated further that the mer
at the head of the Company were o
the highest business integrity ant

Prices of tobacco on the Paris
market have remained at practically
the same level as has been maintain
ed for the last two weeks. A large
amount of the tobacco sold was of an
inferior quality, but the bidding
was spirited, and nearly all grades
brought fair prices. Reflections,
receipts and passed baskets have
passed almost entirely out of the
tobacco market now, and buyers and
farmers are anxious to finish up the
work of selling the crop as soon as
possible.
At the sales held Tuesday at the
New Independent Tobacco Ware
house the averages ranged from
1912 to. $35.48, the latter being OBJ
tanned for crop of 1865 pounds be-
longing to d. M. Frederickson.
The Bourbon Tobacco Warehouse
Co. sold Wednesday a total of &c.
625 pounds of tobacco for an aver
age of S11.08. Three of the best
crop averages of the sale were rs
follows: Gaitskill & Clayton, 1,12J
pounds, average s21.51; Dodge &
Mattox, 1870 pounds, average $751;
SIS; Shropshire & Bays, 2,43O
pounds, average 5000. Wednes-
day, March 80, will be the last sale
on the Paris market.
All organized movements for the
reduction of the Burley tobacco
crop in the four growing States
having failed and seeing many OF
the producers forced into bankruptcy
and others filling the graves of sui
cides on account of low prices and
financial stringency, it is said the
farmers will voluntarily reduce
their acreage forty to fifty per cent
In the meantime, the movement tt
form a great marketing Organiza
ton to sell the surplus in JapaT
and Europe is under way. In the
face of these adverse conditions u
the tobacco market the National w
C. T. U. is planning an active anti
tobacco campaign, to begin Sunday

those closest to him, he probably
never again would arise.
Cardinal Gibbons physicians said
repeatedly in the early stages of his
illness that he was sound, organi-
cally, as could be expected in a per.
son of his years, but that he suffer.
ed from the effects of his age and
from fatigue that resulted from the
prodigal expenditure of his energies
in the performance of his duties al
senior prelate of the Catholic church
in this country.
Cardinal Gibbons was born in Bal.
timore, July %, 1884. His parents
Thomas and Mary Gibbons, had come
TO America from Ireland in 1929
They returned to their native LAND
when the future cardinal was two
years old.
He entered st. Charles College al
Elliott City, Nd, and graduated in
1857. He then entered st. Mary's
Seminary in Baltimore and was or
dained a priest by Archbishop Ken
drick June 6, 1861.
In 1872 he was promoted to thu

3, 1877, was made archbishop o.
Baltimore, gaining with it the It'll,
of Primate of the United States, i
