HISTORIC CABIN SHOWN
IN "ToL'A6LE DAVID"

When "ToPable David" comes to
the Tabb Theatre Wednesday night.
October Is, many for the first time
will see one of the most famous his
toric spots of the Civil war. 1t is
Mosby's cabin in which the famous
Confederate guerilla leader took ref
uge after the battle of Winchester.
The story is picturesquely told in the
famous poem of Sheridan Twenty
Miles Away" Tradition in the Vir-
ginia mountains to this day insists
that any man desiring to escape can
not be captured in this territory. I'm
ion soldiers hot on the trail of Mosby
came to the cabin where he had paus-
ed for bite to eat. Without hesita-
tion he climbed into the chimney.
Searching the place, they failed to
find him, as the hot chimney seemed
inaccessible to them as a hiding place
for man. Daniel Boone is also credit
ed with having stopped at the cabin,

worn letters on a log. The cabin is
150 years old.

GOVERNOR PARDoNs
PROF. T. q. THRELkELD

Prof. T. B. Threlkeld, of Nicholas
vile, sentenced to life Imprisonment
in 1921 for the murder of Arthur Den
man, yesterday was pardoned by
Governor Morrow. He was rs years
old at the time of his conviction.
Belief that the aged professor was
suffering from deadly disease and
that he had paid the full penalty
which even the sternest justice could
demand" prompted the pardon, ac-
cording to the statement issued by
the governor Petition for the pardon
was signed by more than 1000 per-
sons, the governor said. including
ministers, court officials. farmers and
at least 500 women.
Prof. Threlkeld killed Denman fol-
lowing an alteration in the latters
store in Nicholasville His son was
engaged in controversy with Den
mans brother, according to evidence
introduced at the trial, when the pro-
fessor entered. 1t was alleged that
the brothers advanced on Prof. Threl-
keld and that he killed Arthur Den
man. At the first trial of the case the
jury was unable to agree, At the Sec
ond trial he was sentenced to life i'm
prisonment.
II believe that Prof. Threlkeld vio-
lated the law, but | am profoundly
convinced that he has paid the full
penalty which even the sternest JUS
tice could demand" said Governor
Morrow. 81 am persuaded that every
dictate, both Of justice and mercy,
demands and justifies his liberation.
He has suffered as such a man alone
can suffer, who holds the wreck of a
life around him. to whom disgrace
brings more agony than prison bars
could ever produce. He is broken In
health, shattered in mind, and at
best but few years of life remain
for him."
In opposition to the petition for
pardon the governor received a let
ter from the mother, brother and
sweetheart of the man who was kill
ed. Their protest is natural and to
be expected. but from the great mass
Of the people of Jessamine county
there has been an insistent demand
for the liberation of this old and hon
Orable citizen" the executive said.

President Thomas M. Russell, Of
the Blue Grass League, has at last Is
sued an official statement as to the
standing of the various clubs in the
league, which shows Cynthiana with
q final percentage Of .5s4 and Mt.
Sterling second with $50. He states
that the Ballouo game is o. k, but
says the games in which Potts par
ticipated have not yet been definitely
decided. The final standing shows
Mt. Sterling and Maysville had only
played 80 games, while Paris and
Cynthiana played AZ each. Two Of
the games that make up this discrep-
iancy were postponed games between
Maysville and Mt Sterling (which
we're never played), but what be
came of the other game? Can Mr.,

DEVIL FISH INFEST
NORTH FRANCE RESORTS
Terrify Summers but Science
Calls Them Harmless.

PARIS. July 20 (Assocated Press).---
Devil fish. appearing in immense schools
at the French seaside resorts in Nor
mandy and Brittany, have caused
pleasure seekers there to stick close ia
the shore and sent cold shivers up and
down the backs of such fair frequenters
of the fashionable watering places az
dared to go into the water u II
The octopus fleet is said to have been
driven landward by the unusually low
temperature of the water. Heretofore
they have been rarely seen near the
sand beaches. assembling mostly at th.
fishing banks, where they devour the
fish and destroy the nets The knowl-
edge of their presence in bathing local-
ties has given little rest to the bathers'
imagination
Swimmers of both sexes have been
frequently seen making a frantic exit
from the water, seized by the idea that
Shiny tentacle tried to grip leg or an
arm. Hotel proprietors have been
alarmed to the extent of seeking scien-
tific advice. They have been informed
by the director OF the Bureau of Scien-
tific Research that the devil fish Is not
dangerous to life and limb and that the
famous fight with the octopus in Victor
Hugos The Toilers of the Sea" existed
in the authors imagination.
