Death Of Mrs. ]. Barnett Young.

Death of Mrs. ]. Barnett Young.
The people of Lexington were
stunned Thursday evening when
it became known that Mrs. Bar
nett Young had died very sud-
denly at the Research Hospital,
Kansas City, where she had un-
dergone an operation about ten
days previous. The operation
was said to have been success
full and only the day before she
had conversed with her husband
over the telephone. She was in
tending to return home on
Sunday. Mrs. Young died about
5 o'clock and was i'll only about
half an hour. Her death was due
to disease of the heart, which
she had had slight attacks Of be-
fore.
Mrs, Young was a superior
woman, possessing qualities
which endeared her to all, no
matter where she met them.
She inspired confidence by her
womanly address and her charit-
able thoughts. Whether in
church or in social circles, it was
a pleasure to come within her
presence, which so universally
radiated friendliness and love
Mr.. and Mrs. Young had not
been blessed with children of
their own, but had recently
completed arrangements to a
dopt the baby boy left mother
less by the death Of Mrs. Lillian
Moorehead Schafer, a girlhood
friend of Mrs. Young. And life
for them seemed just begun.
But death has staid that moth
er longing to meet her friend in
the world beyond. Her death is
a great loss to the community,
and to her husband words fail
to express the fullest sympathy
of relatives and friends, OF
which there are many.
Mrs. Eliza Kelly Young was
the daughter of Judge and
Mrs. James Y. Kelly, Of
Georgetown KY, where she was
born and grew to young woman
hood, and also where she was
married to Mr.. Young, October
10, 1911. She had lived in Lex

Anthony Fenninger, who is form

for the hidden treasure, said ~
years ago the Spanish government
conducted an extended hunt for it.
but the search, like others privately
made since that time, eventually
was dropped.
That he had discovered the key to
the chartered cache was the asser-
tion of Fenninger. He and group
of prominent Denver business men
plan to search for the gold early in
the spring.

Aviation Grounds at
L. r. May Be Sold

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE sub
committee of the House Committee
on Military Affairs, after investiga-
tions covering nearly a year con-
corning real estate holdings of the
Air Department, filed it's report yes
terday recommending the disposal of
as much of the real estate holdings
as possible.
Included in the list of property
administered by the Air Service is
the aviation general warehouse at
Little Rock, occupying So acres.
While no direct recommendations
were made for the disposal of this
property, the committee expressed
the opinion that entirely too many
valuable tracts are held for avia-
ton purposes.
After disclaiming any desire to
cripple the aviation service, the re-
port said the committee is firmly of
the opinion that its activities could

The Little Rock warehouse was
included in list of holdings of the
aviation service, but no recommends
tons were made for it's disposal al
though it will be considered among
the others if an attempt is made to
carry out the recommendations OF
the committee.
The committee recommended re-
tention of the Army and Navy Cen
eral hospital at Hot Springs, but
suggested that the practice of send
ing automobiles to San Antonio,
Tex, for repairs be discontinued,
and that repair shops be established
at Hot Springs.
