LANCASTER BOY MAY
GET THE BIG PLUM

A dispatch from Washington
Sunday said that there was a re-
port that Acting Commissioner
Millard West, native of Ian
caster, KY, was to be named In
ternal Revenue Commissioner. 1t
is strengthened by an under
standing that the President has
given to Secretary Mellon full
authority to make the appoint
ment, and that experience al1ne
is to be considered in making the
selection.
Acting Commissioner West
was an Assistant Commissioner
under the Wilson administration
and has been in the department
for 20 years, having been pro-
NOTED through the various chan
nels of the service. He is a Re-
publican and his position in the
former administration was a
recognition of fitness, it is as
serted.
The curious feature of The fight
that has centered about this ap-
pointment is that the alleged wet
or dry proclivities OF the aspir-
ants have been pushed to the
fore and little attention given to
the fact that under the presc-:
tax laws the appointee will be
responsible for the collection of
approximately $4000,0OO,OOO an

TWO PRISONERS
ESCAPE FROM JAIL
Barney Thomas and Dallas Kirby
Break Through Floor and
Then Kick Out Window

Barney Thomas and Dallas
Kirby, who were held in the conu-
! ty jail ON whisky and other charg-
les, escaped from the county i1iI
/ here some time Friday night. The
! two men, who were confined on
1.-THE second floor found weak
lplace i'll the iron flooring of the
toilet room. Long used, water,
etc. had rusted and weakened
the floor greatly, SO they easily
punched hole through it, and
then tore an aperture sufficiently
large to permit them to reach the
third floor above. They emerged
into the womens' cells, which be-
ing unoccupied, were unlocked,
and SO the two prisoners had no
trouble reaching window. Here
the heavy iron screen was kicked
open, as has been often done be-
fore by prisoners. The old screens
are merely nailed into place, and
the woodwork that surrounds
them is so old and rotten that
prisoners who have been able to
reach window unobserved heve
never had much trouble knocking
out the big screenwork and max
ing getaway.
Turnkey Sam Hunter says that
he believes that the two men had
outside assistance in their geta
way, for scratches on the screen
show the men slid down a rope
from the third-story window to
The ground. Mr.. Hunter also says
that information was received
that certain man near Red Lick
assisted the men to get out the
county.
Thomas had almost a year yet
to serve in jail here on a charge
of bringing :noonshine whisky in
to the county. He also faced i'll
dictment in Garrard county, as he
is alleged to have been the man
who sold moonshine whisky to
Walter Azbill there shortly be-
fore he died. Kirby is a well
known young man, who was
caught with some moonshine com
ng into town some weeks ago.
He had only about 20 days tc
serve on that charge, but botF
men are wanted by Federal off
GERS to stand trial in the L. S.
Court, as soon as their jail sen
tences here were completed.
