CLAIMSOF OLD
TRAILS GIVEN
New Booklet by E. W. Stephens
Boosts This Route for
Primary Road.

E. W. Stephens, president of the Old
Trails Road Association, has produced
booklet pointing out the advantages Of
the Old Trails Route as a primary cross
state highway, and citing the specific
reasons why the route should be selected.
The entire work Of printing, compiling
the information, selecting the photo
graphs, and gathering the necessary data
has been done most effectively by Mr..
Stephens.
The booklet, which contains illustra.
tions Of every state institution on the
Old Trails Route, as well as many other
points of interest along the route, is
beautifully made up. 1t embodies all
the reasons why the State Highway Com
mission should decide on the road as the
principal state highway. The history of
the trail, the mileage, the population,
wealth and production of the country
through which the trail runs is given in
detail.
The booklet is to be sent to members
of the State Highway Commission, and
to other officials who are concerned in
the selection of the road. About $50
copies have been printed.
The text describes the Old Trails as
the short, logical, practical, smooth, his
toric, transcontinental, educational and
agricultural route"
"Along the Old Trails Route, or in con-
venient distance of it, are located four
fifths of the institutions in the state de-
voted to higher learning, as well as sew
eral established and sustained by the
state for the benefit, Of its unfortunates.
No other route across the state passes
in the vicinity of ene-third as many.

guard in an effort to prevent possible
renewal of the Ball. olson feud
which broke out again in the court
house here yesterday. John Hurst. a
member of the Colson faction, who
was shot in the stomach, has little
chance for recovery while Frank

killed, may recover, it was said.

to get all partisans of both sides out
Of the city. A heavy guard was
thrown around the county Jail, where
George Colson, charged with killing
Ira Ball, who had killed his brother,
Doyle Colson, was confined. The hos
pital where the four wounded men
were taken also was surrounded by a
Gordon of peace officers.
Tom Manning, Tim Ball, Alva Ball
and Floyd Ball, who were taken to
Middlesboro, the home of both fac
tions, were released as soon as they
arrived there, it was said. Warrants,
however, were issued this afternoon

ing and wounding, and for Alva Ball
charging him with carrying concealed
weapons.
There were probably 500 persons
in the courthouse when the shooting
started. The city was crowded, due
to the prominence of the persons con-
nected with the Ball and Colson fac
tons, here for the trial of George
Colson on charge of killing Ira
Ball.

II is true that hot weather is hard
on a baby, especially if the heat is

with good care a baby may be safely

Year by year, that dreadful sum
