CONTEMPLATING THEMSELVES

There is general congratulation
among the citizens over the good
work done at Haven Sunday. The
concensus OF opinion is that we have
a man as sherlff who is absolutely
unafraid and that he has chosen as
deputies men who will either follow
him anywhere or WIFI go where they
are sent and do what they ara sent
to do. Sheriff Walker is the busiest
man IN the County and his business
il such as to commend itself to each
right thinking man. namely, that Of
cleaning up moonshining and boot
logging, the worst curse against
which We have to stand
Knox County has a man in it's
Sheriff.

KNOX COUNTY HERO
BURIED IN HOME SOIL

The interment of the remains OF
w. NJ. Smith, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
James r. Smith. took place at the
Faulkner Graveyard. Saturday, Sept.
18th, at . PM The Deaton-Smith
Post, American Legion, had charge
of the ceremonies.
Deceased lost his life while fight
ing the battles OF his country, fall
ing in the Argonne Forest, where SO
many gallant men laid down their
lives. To him came the great adven-
ture while in the flush of youth,
when life was at its best, but he did
not sacrifice in vain as history will
proudly proclaim. While the world
is still in a state of political chaos,
the winsome figure of Liberty is
slowly dominating the minds Of men
and as a consequence of this spent
life and that of others, those who
follow after will find the world bet
ter place i'm which to abide.
To the dead, the laurel leaves of
victory. To the living, the blessings
of their sacrifice.

ROBSON
CHOOSES WORTHY SUBJECTS

Good Roads. Education and Law
and Order are subjects that are very
worthy the attention and thought of
the best minds. Congressman j. NJ.
Robson may always be depended
upon to strike the right note along
lines of a higher morality and the
subjects, including good roads, are
means of acquiring it.
Last week at the Seelbach Hotel,
he made a speech on good roads
before members of the Good Roads
Association of Kentucky. While
there he saw Mr.. Boggs OF the State
Road Department, and that gentle
man says he is anxious to put the
road ll.u and get the right Of way
question cleared up
Mr. Robsion has also been ON a
speechmaking trip thru Monroe,
Cumberland, Russell and Pulaski
Counties, where he spoke on good
roads, education and law and order.
He also paid his respects in un-
measured language to the liquor
traffic. This is good work and is
sure to give good results in the
Strengthening of the resolution OF
the people of the Mountains to

MINToN SHOW HORSES
AT BOWLING GREEN

Bowling Green is the County Seat
OF Warren County with a population
Of 10000, being a great schooltown.
Warren County is a beautiful farm
ing country and twenty-three years
ago It was noted for its beautiful
saddle horses where the breeders
had horse sales. On account of the
decline of the usefulness of the
horse and the introduction of the
automobile, these dealers have turn
ed their attention to other lines OF
stock raising.
Sterling Nickols and his father,
who is now ninety-four years old
and has shown horses continuously
for seventy-fve years, commencing
at the age of fifteen and stopping at
ninety, still handle a few fine horses
there. Our saddle mares did splen-
didly at this Fair, Sary Kathleen
(Lucile) winning first place in the
combined harness and saddle stake.
Gladys and Verda won their share Of
first and seconds in all rings shown.
This Fair Association has beauti-
full grounds, a one-half mile race
track-equal to the State Fair track
and the grand stand will seat 10,
900 people. They have all necessary
buildings and equipment and have
one of the best fairs in Western
Kentucky. T. w. MINTON.

MURDERERs
MOoNsHINERs CAPTURED


Last week Columbus Partin, who
had been appointed deputy six hours
previously, was shot to death from
ambush at Cbenoa. The murderers
escaped.
Saturday night Sheriff b. p. Walk
er, Russ Baker, Bernie Dillman and
Tom Phillips, of Knox County, with
twelve deputies and dry officers from
Pineville, took breakfast at Fount
at 1880 am. and then walked to
Haven to the home of Jerry Bowling
whose two sons, Bob and Chester,
are accused of killing Partin.
On Sunday night the Knox County
officers had raided a still at the edge
of the Tom Jones. farm on Big Rich
land. Seven operators fed and were
not caught.
Sheriff Walker had already sent
out scout and found that the Bowl
ing boys were at home. Arriving at
the house he proceeded to post his
men around the premises and as he
did so two men jumped off the porch
and ran into the garden. Sheriff
Walker called on them to halt and
when they failed TO do so, fired at
them. They meanwhile fired at him
with high power rifles the bullets
striking the earth just below where
he stood on the railroad track, which
is Just above the house. From the
garden the men lodged into a field
and hid in clump of weeds and
bushes where the artillery of Red
Stewart and his deputies began to
find them.
Answering the summons of Sheriff
Walker that they throw up their
hands, they replied that their hands
were up. They were told to come
out with them up and keep them up
which they did and surrendered.
A search of the house revealed
seven sacks of malt corn, seven
bushels in all and some seven gal
Ions of liquor were found buried in
the garden.
Going up a hollow alone, Sheriff
Walker encountered man carrying
a bucket of slops. 1t was John
Barnes. Testing the slop the Sheriff
found the bucket contained liquor
slops. Answering his question Barnes
said the still was on the hill. How
ever, altho force pump was found
which was used for lifting water
from the creek branch, 200 to 300
yards distant, the still was not there
but was located quarter of a mile
away under some bushes. The de-
puties found and destroyed 500 gal
Ions of beer which was ready to be
made into liquor and the still was
destroyed and brought into town. 1t
was placed in front of the National
Bank of John A. Black. 1t is said to
be one OF the very best stills taken
in this section.
Prisoners taken ON theis raid were
Jerry Bowling and two sons, Bob and
Chester, John Barnes and Bob Bile
wins. Another son Of Bowling was
not brought in as he is already un-
der bond. They were taken to Pine
Vile and from there will have to go
to London for trial unless let out on
bond.
This raid is said to have been the
biggest dry raid pulled OFF except one
sent out from Chicago into Michigan.
Primarily, it was for the capture of
the Bowling boys for the alleged mur
der of Partin. but it had the purpose
also of breaking up the nest of moon
sinners in that section.
