Court Day Brings
Hundreds To City

A beautiful November court day
morning brought hundreds to the
city, many Of whom we're bent on
business.
The stock sales we're largely at
tended by citizens of Eastern Ken
&cky who were here with about
5000 head Of good cattle. So eager
were the buyers that they met the
cattle coming in and purchased
about 1900 before they reached the
pens. There were in the pens about
$500, making total of not far from
5000 head.
All stock was good and in fine
condition. Trading was brisk and
before the setting of the sun the
pens had been emptied..
The drovers were happy with their
sales as we're feeders with their pur-
chases. The last to be sold was a
small 350-pound steer, which dro-
yer turned over to farmer for $13.
For this steer the drover rejected an
offer of $40 in the early forenoon.
The buyers came from Clark, Fay
cite, Woodford, Nicholas, Madison
and Montgomery counties and quite
few we're from out of the state.
The cattle supply was from Pow
ell, Menifee, Morgan, Elliott, Magof-
fin, Wolfe and many othern Eastern
Kentucky counties. Montgomery and
other bluegrass counties contribut-
ed to the sales also. Feed cattle and
good round heifers brought $4.10 to
$3.50 and extra good brought SIS.
One Ohio purchaser got rs top feed
ing steers at 6 cents with two that
were not so good at 5 cents.
U. S. Whitaker sold 20 heifers,
averaging about 400 pounds, at 5
cents. All good steers brought from
A IL cents to 5 and 6 cents, accord
ing to quality. Commons sold for
] and 2 cents. The inferior heifer
brought $3.50 and up and one extra
bunch of steers belonging to Fill
more Webb, weighing $50 pounds,
sold TO Clarence Lebus at 5 cents.
Yearling mules were active at |
prices ranging from $50 to $75 and |
work mules of good size brought !
from $125 to $3.50.
Plug horses, just any old thing,
sold from $25 and up to sos, while
good work horses changed hands at |
500, 1925 and $3.50.
Swappers were numerous and !
traded just to keep things interest

day, with eight hours pay at the
present time received little support
in the convention of the American
Federation OF Labor here today.
Resolutions ravoring shortening the
working day to six hours with eight
hours pay were voted down after a
short debate.
Backers of the measure declared
they believed shortening Of hours of
work would solve the unemployment
question.
A resolution presented by the Seat
tie Labor Council advocating not
only q six-hour work day, but elm
nation Of all overtime. was voted
down without a supporter.
A. c. Hay Of the Railway Clerks.
and c. F. Graw Of the Machinists, ad-
vocated passage OF another resolution
placing the federation on record for
a six hour day with eight hours pay.

shorter work day declared that while
the whole union movement wanted to
curtail the hours of labor. they did
not Lelieve that business conditions
were right now % push the six hour
day with eight hours pay. The report
was adopted.

Guard for Royal Pair
at Belfast.
( DEAD AND 20 HURT

LONDON, June 24.-Four British
soldiers ttached to the forces that
had been guarding King George and
Queen Mary at Belfast were killed
and twenty injured when a troop
train was mined by Sim Feiners
near Dundalk, said a dispatch from
Dublin this evening quoting al off,
cial statement issued by Dublin
Castle.
Early reports from the scene esti-
mated the dead and injured at forty,
but this figure proved an exaggera-
ton.
A mine was set off just as the second
half Of the train was passing over it.
There was a terrific explosion and a
great volume of debris and smoke shot
skyward. The cars that were not
wrecked by the blast were blown from
the rails. Some Of them rolled down into
a gulley.
POLICE GUARD
SCENE OF WRECK.
Large forces Of soldiers and police were
rushed to the scene from Dublin and
Belfast.
According to one report, the train car
ried cavaIrymen and artillery. Another
report was that it carried infantry.
The seat of the outrage is a lonely
mountain district. Train wreckers have
been active there before.

THEATER WALLS
CRUMBLE; DIE
Eleven Others Injured When
Movie Building Is Wrecked
Only 20 in House.

BARNESBORO, Pa, June 24.-This
was a town Of sorrow today following
the collapse of a wall and roof Of the
Grand Theater, a motion picture house
last night, which resulted in the death
Of seven persons and the more or less
serious injury Of eleven others.
The foundation Of the theater build
ing, sottened by rain, crumbled beneath
the wall and one side OF the structure
caved in, carrying the roof into the CEN
ter of the auditorium, through the sec
ond floor, occupied as an apartment.
The crash came at a time when the
majority Of those present were children.
Not more than twenty persons were in
the house at the time. This was all that
prevented a long death list.
County authorities have started n
thorough investigation to determine If
any negligence was connected with the
disaster.

He Plans to Paddle
NyNaphs and SGtyrs
With Barrel St0UeS

CHICAGO, June 24-Dr. Raymond
B. Prettyman, north shore dentist,
had a collection of barrel stave pad
dies today and a deep resentment.
Behind his sea wall the other night
came men and womens voices, watt
ed in on ukelele jazz from the region
Of the beach. He asked his boys and
a neighbor to walk down and in
vestigate. He was amazed. There
were men and women, thirty-six in
all, clad only in moonbeams, caper
ing, dancing, toddling and shimmy
ing.
Get your clothes on and go home"
commanded DR.. Prettyman. Get out
of here" He bought a sugar barrel,
made paddles and arranged with
neighbors to WELD them in a sur
prise attack upon the nymphs and
satyrs the next evening.
But
The nymphs and satyrs did not
show up.
