BOGGS PLANS A REAL
ENGINEERING FEAT

The State Highway Commits
sion is planning to shorten the
distance between Lexington and
Shakertown by tunneling through
the huge rock cliff at the northern
entrance of Brooklyn bridge on
the Kentucky liver. 49,
\ force of engineers from the
headquarters of the commission
in Frankfort is now making Il pre-
liminary survey for the purpose
of ascertaining the cost of the TN
dcrtaking.
Where the turnpike leading
from Harrodsburg and Shaker
town to Nicholasville and Lexing
ton comes off the bridge over the
deepbedded river at this point, it
runs sheer into rocky precipice.
which apparently blocks further
progress, but the original turn-
pike builders decided that instead
of penetrating this massive stone
wall it would be more feasible
and less expensive to detour
around this natural barrier. and
Os the road winds around the nose
of the cliff, producing sharp and
dangerous curve, which is becom-
ing more and more dangerous
since the increase in automobile
traffic.
The State Highway Commits
sion officials are said to believe
that If a tunnel could be put thru
this huge rock the highway at
this point would ge shortened
more than one thousand feet, the
dangerous curve eliminated and
the road Strengthened thus lessen
ing the cost of maintenance.

STILL ON FARM OF
u. s. COMMISSIONER
Sinners Getting Bold and Bad
When They "Pull Stunt
Like That-Worm Taken

Those Fayette. county burglar.
who robbed the vault Of the fed.
eral building at Lexington anC
got a lot of pistols and some
whisky from the office of State
Prohibition Director Sam Col
Inns, haven't thing" on some
enterprising Madison county
gentlemen.
A big still, still warm from
making run of Shine, was dis
covered on the farm of Warfeld
Bennett, U. S. Commissioner
for this district, by Sheriff Ell
mer Deatherage and several dep
tuies Tuesday. Mr.. Benefits
farm is located at White Hall,
five miles out on the Lexington
pike. A tenant occupies the old
home place, but, according to
the officers, no suspicion attach
es to him, as all paths to and
from the still lead away from
the house. Officers believe they
have a clcw to the operators.
Mr.. Bennett was naturally as
much surprised as was the raid
ing officers, to learn that still
was being operated right on his
place right under his nose" it
might be said, as the still was
found cleverly concealed in a
hollow only d few hundred yards
from the house, the officers say.
1t was evident that the moon
sinners felt very secure that
their hiding place was a good
one, for they had gone off and
left the worm with the still, af-
ter making run of whisky.
which is not often done by eX-i
perienced sinners. The officers
brought the worm to town, after
destroying the still and pouring
out all the mash they could find.
This is the second still found
III the FoXtown section recently,
as one was found On the farm OF
Green Clay not long ago, and he
was as much surprised as Mr..
Bennett to learn what the festive
sinners were doing on his
premises. Officers think they
have some mighty warm clews
as to the guilty parties and ar
rests may be made soon.
