something that the shower may be

Legion's efforts. 1t is also suggested
that persons club together to buy sets
OF knives. forks, spoons, or other
articles recommended by the commit
tee.
The decorators, from Beck & Sons
Co.. OF Cincinnati, who are decorating
the city for the Knights Templar con-
clave next week are using the Legion
building for their headquarters until
the day Of the shower, and when Mr..
Beck learned Of the shower for the
legion he said: Eve want to do our bit
for the boys, too, and we will see that
their quarters are decorated for the
conclave In time to make a good show
ing for Friday, and to be sure 1t is
done in time we will make 1t the first
building in Maysville to be decorated.
We're for the boys, strong" AS re-
suit the Legion presents wonderfully
pleasing appearance from Sutton
street and will be ready, not only for
the shower. band concert and dance,
but for the use OF the Knights Templar
next week.

FORMER FLEMING
COUNTY BOY IS
DROWNED N texas
Only Son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Sam T. Col
Inns Is Drowned With Three Som.
paniOns in Texas Greek Dur.
Ing Water Spout.
The Fleming Gazette says

ING flemlng Gazette says
A message was received here last
wednesday stating that Eugene Col
Inns, only son Of Sam T. Collins and
wife, at San Antonio, Texas, had been
drowned, No further particulars were
given, but it was expected letter
would be received later stating lust
how the sad occurrence took place.
Eugene left here several years ago
with his parents and the news of his
death came as surprise and shock to
his relatives and friends.
A letter received by Mrs. W. H.
Shockley from John Spencer, Flem-
ing countian, states that Mr.. Collins
came to his death Tuesday evening.
He and another young man and two
young ladies were all drowned during
a storm. The party had gone to a
tathing beach about 80 miles from San
Antonio, and the inference is the boat
may have capsized, though the letter
doesn't say. The bodies were recover
ed.
The letter was written before all the
particulars were learned by Mr.. Spen-
Ger, who said another letter would fol-
low.
Since the above was written a clip
ing from a San Antonio paper has
been received.
Those drowned were Marjorie Baty,
Imogene Powell, NJ. c. Davenport and
Eugene Collins.
The party in Ford sedan left
Braunfels, suburb, at $50 p. m. re-
turning to San Antonio Nothing more
was heard of them until the next day,
when the sedan was found upset in the
bed of small creek and the four bod
les covered with mud were located
half mile or so below ford, where It
was evident the party had attempted
to cross and were swept away by the
rushing waters. A water spout had
visited the vicinity about the time the
accident occurred and the storm had
prevented the young people from see
ing the rushing current into which
they drove. 1t was sad event, in
deed.
A mother of one girl lay awake all
night worrying over her daughters
delay in returning only to learn next
day of the sad end she met.

operated upon at Cincinnati hospital

The surgeons at the time believed he
would recover and for some days Nc
Henry seemed to be steadily gaining
Then he relapsed and grew weaker
until he finally reached a stage where
the end seemed but question of a
+, few days.
McHenry was born at Stout, Ohio
September %, 1895 He began his pro-
fessional career at Portsmouth. Ohio
in 1915, played with Milwaukee. and
Peoria in 1917 and joined the Reds al
