JOHN BAILEY MAY
HAVE Been MURDER.
Ed HERE IN 1919
Man who Says He Took Part in the
Staying Of Fleming County Man,
Dies at His Home In the Hills
Local Officers Stumped.

Chief of Police James Mackey for
the past several days has been investi-
eating report that an "Eph" Rigdon,
OF Fleming county had confessed to
the murder of John Bailey, Park Lake
farmer who delivered his tobacco here
in December, 1919, and mysteriously
disappeared. This investigation car
ried Chief Mackey to the hills Of Flem-
ing county where dying man said to
be insane, made a statement. This
statement however is worth little
without corroboration and this the Of
ficers have failed to obtain.
This weeks Flemingsburg Times
Democrat tells the story as follows:
About year and half ago a man
named John Bailey, in company with
three others who we are told were
Ephriam Rigdon, Bruce Mckee and
Early Crawford, or Hook" as he was
called, all from Muse precinct or the
edge of Lewis county, went TO Mays
vile with tobacco, and the rest of the
party came back but Bailey has never
been seen since so far as his friends
know. His team Of mules stood in the
Home warehouse stable for three days
before they were noticed. When the
three men came home they were very
| much under the influence of MIMI,
| or mountain moonshine, we are unable
to say which. The disappearance OF
Bailey continued to be a mystery
Sometime after this Rigdon was TAX
en- Ill with some mysterious malady
which the local physicians could not
| get line on. His friends brought him
to Flemingsburg and solicited aid
take him to a Lexington hospital, and
they could do nothing for him, telling
| him they could find nothing wrong
with him. He later went to Cincinnati
wherc some sort Of an operation was
performed. but still he continued tc
grow worse, Some time since he be-
gan to talk wildly of the fate of John
Bailey, and before his death on Satur-
day last he is said to have made full
confession Of the murder of Bailey by
himself Bruce Mckee and Crawford
He further said that they put his body
in burlay sack, weighted it with roci
and pushed 1t off the Limestone bridge
into the backwater from the Ohio
River. His story is that one of the
party stabbed Bailey several times
while another of the party shot him
twice.
| 1t is said that Bruce Mckee is now
crazy at his home in the vicinity OF
Park Lake, while the whereabouts OF
Crawford are said to be unknown.
One OF Bailey's sons recently sho'
an uncle in Lewis county and we thinl
Is now in Jail at Vanceburg. Another
son Of Bailey also shot a girl in Muse
precinct a few months ago, but hi
claimed 1t was accidental, and nothing
was done about 1t.
At the time of this writing we dC
not know what steps, If any, the Masol
county authorities have taken in thu
matter.

of stabilizing Chinese money ana should remove the variations which now exist in the many silver coins and tokens in circulation in China With this far reaching demonstration of silver and the apparently lessened demand for silver for coinage pur- poses, the outlook for silver is most serious. As the industrial demand foI silver never will be so great as to be decisive factor in its production, the future prospect of the silver industry must depend upon creating an in- creased monetary demand. The re- monetization of subsidiary silver coin age being so remote possibility, It leaves but one alternative for increas- ing the monetary demand for the metal.
 Among the many causes for deprec- iation in the currencies, particularly of the countries of continental Europe, has been the excessive reduction in their gold reserves, together with the great increase in the circulation ot paper money. The gold reserve ratio to the circulating media has become greatly reduced. It has been suggest ed that silver might be used as re- serve basis of note circulations and thus greatly expedite the restoration of currencies of these countries back to the gold standard par. It is cited that silver ruble in Russia is worth 10000 paper rubles, by way of illus trating the superior value of silver as compared to the paper money circu- lation of that country. This would be true in lesser degree of the curren- cies of many other of the European cocntries where imitation has not been on so great scale. This proposal does not contemplate establishing a silver coinage ratio and therefore should not be confused with the issue of bi-metallism.
 In this suggestion there may be pos abilities, and if there are, they prob ably will be ably presented at the forthcoming international economic conference at Genoa in March. Since the export business of this country is dependent upon an increased purchas- ing power of European countries in particular, any remedies which may be adopted b ythe Genoa conference which will result in more rapid ap- preciation of the currencies of conti- mental Europe to the gold standard par, should be regarded as construc- tive, an diff they do not violate sound economic and currency law, should meet with our approval.-Mining Con- gress Journal

Close Finish Marks Fire Truck Race Only Event
 Pulled Of Yesterday.

Fire truck No. 1. Martin Lavenik, driver; H. l. Lucas, foreman, won the money in the truck race yesterday evening, making the run and getting water on the bon fire in the old baseball park in three minutes and eight seconds. Truck No. 2, William Beaudin, driver, and Oliver Olson, foreman, was nosed out by two seconds.
 The time was considered fact un- der the circum stances. wet, slippery roads making turns dangerous and cutting down the speed. No. 2 truck making the run down Willoughby Avenue, was especially handicapped in this regard. The winner was on the ground several seconds ahead of No. 2, whose crew partially re- covered the lost time by fast work at the hydrant.
 This was the first of the events on the Fourth of July program to be held. Rain and overhanging clouds prevented the aerial exhibition planned for the morning. Aviator

SMOKER CARD

Opinion as 10 the outcome of the main event of the American Legion smoker tonight was apparently even ly divided today on the eve of the big go Manager Tom Mcdonald. who has been in charge of the Legion training camp, said that both Col Her, the champ, and Higley, former champ, who is seeking to regain the crown, are in the very best of shape for the bout and should furnish the fans a run for their money.
 A crowded house will greet both men when they enter the ring this evening. The demand for seats had been heavy. The other bouts are reported to be better than the aver age and the men in all of them as evenly matched as possible.
 The curtain raiser is scheduled to get under way at D. m. and it is the purpose of the referee not to allow long intermissions between the several bouts. In addition to the regular matches, the novelty features are expected to furnish much comedy and give the audience a chance to get rid of few healthy laughs.
 Officials for Smoker
 Tom Mcdonald will referee all the bouts. His selection by the Legion for this job is a popular one. The Legions move in naming four judges has also been commended. The judges who will act are: James McCloskey, Sigurd Wallstedt, Jack Wilson and E. A. Adams; Dave Housel will be timekecper.
 Sixth Bout Possible
 MT. Mcdonald said this morning that it is possible that a sixth bout will be added to the card as shown above The mon are in readiness if called to go on
 In the Brown4Schultz match men who have seen both fighters work out expect to see a scrap almost as interesting as the main event. al though neither man is as clever as either Collier or Higley. Both are willing, eager fighters and strong, carrying healthy punches in both hands that are capable of delivering dreamland tickets if they land. Rudolph, a local Indian, has been seen in the ring here on previous oc casions and is improved over his last showing. Van Duisan, a sailor from the Unalga, is said to be a clever heady boy with punch. Murphy has been one of the hardest working men in the Legion training camp and both he and Hughes are rarin' to go The curtain raiser between Clark and | Williams is said to promise better than the average event.
