few cases OF any Importance on the

small ones.

OF rs cases, nine Of the indictments
are against the City OF Maysville and
six against the Maysville Water Com

.SHOWALTER ADDS TWO
MORE GAMES TO WIN
Former Mason County Man Defeats
Western Champlon.-First Time He
Has Been Defeated In Five Years.

Louisville, KY, Aug. 81. - Contin-
uing the brilliant playing which
marked his games during the first two
days of the Western Chess Association
turnament, Jackson w. Showalter, of
Georgetown, Ky, former national
champion, yesterday added two moro
victories to his list, making him tie
with n. T. Whitaker for first honors.
Showaltcr defeated Edward Lasker,
OF Chicago, present champion, in the
adjourned game which was played yes
terday morning.
Lasker resigned when he saw he had
no chance to win. The Kentucky mas
ter had two pawns, one Of which was
offered as a sacrifice. Had Lasker
taken this pawn, Showalter would
have made a queen with the other.
After the game was fininshed, Show
alter showed that Lasker lost through
an error of judgment, where in the
middle of the contest he moved a
queen TO knights four instead of to
a bishops five. This was Lasker's first
defeat in five years. Last night Sho-
walter added his fourth victory when
he defeated Palmer. He played his
usual brilliant game, winning on a
king-side attack.
