Employ Cardinal Band for big Auto.

The following letter will be of in
terest to all interested in the Ken
lucky Cardinal band:
Mr.. J. Barbour Russell,

make it a little too expensive for US
1t will be necessary for your band
to arrive in Indianapolis the night be-
fore the race, as you would be required
to report at the grounds at 8 O'Clock

o'clock in the evening.
Please advise us by very early mail
the very best figure you could quote
US covering expenses and services.
Very truly yours,

COLORED BOY IS
SERIOUSLY INJURED
IN AN EXPLOSION
Young Lad Removing Brass From
Articles Found at the Old Ireland
I Home, Suffers serious Injuries
When Dynamite ExplOdes.

Archie Cunningham, colored, 15-
year-old son of Nelse Cunningham, of
the West End, was very seriously in
jured Tuesday afternoon at his home
when dynamite cap exploded. His
left thumb was partly blown away, a
large part of his left leg torn away
and the left side Of his face was also
badly injured.
Young Cunningham had been en-
ployed for the past several days at the
home Of Mrs. Anna B. Fansler, in the
West End, assisting in house clean
ing. Mrs. Fansler lives in the home
formerly occupied by Mr.. James Ire
land, former local contractor, and in
the outhouses the colored boy found
number of pieces of brass which had
been left by the contractor, and which
were given him by Mrs. Fansler. These
he removed to his home and on Tues
day afternon was engaged in taking
the pieces of brass from parts of iron.
His idea was to sell the brass to a
junk dealer. The young man did not
know that the articles he found were
used in blasting and when he struck
an article to break off the brass, 1t
exploded. containing dynamite caps.
Two physicians were called and
dressed the boys wounds. Although
the wounds are of very serious ma
ture, they will not necessarily prove
to be fatal.

MURDER THEORY AC.
CEPTED WHEN MAN
IS FOUND IN RIVER
Police Of Up.rlver Towns Asked to
Furnish Descriptions Of Missing
Men-Victim Was Shot
In Head.

Police in all up-river towns have
been asked to help identify the body
Of a young man found floating In the
Ohio River early Tuesday night by
employees of the Campbell Creek Coal
Company at Ludlow, KY, near Gin
cinnati
The body was clad in dark brown
checked trousers OF fine texture, black
patent leather dancing pumps and
silk hose. The trousers were support
ed by q leather belt with an eagle en-
graved on the buckle.
When first seen the body was float
ling about 100 feet of shore and the
coal company workers, obtaining a
skin and rowing out to II, towed 1t to
shore.
They Immediately notified Coroner
David W. stephens OF Kenton county.
who after an examination, said the
body was that OF a man about 25
years old and apparently had been in
the water for week or ten days.
The arms had been tied across
chest and the knees and ankles were
lashed together with wire similar to
that used in hanging pictures. A piece
OF the wire had been worn through. as
II weight had been hanging to II.
Coroner Stephens at once advanced
the theory that the young man had
been murdered and his body. weighted
tossed into the river by his slayer. The
recent high water. Coroner Stephens
said, probably had torn the body away
from the weight and swept 1t down
stream.
Judging by appearances, Coroner
Stephens said. the man evidently had
been attacked while returning from
some social AFFAIR The police were
OF the opinion that he had been to
dance. calling attention to the pumps
rs evidence.
Coroner stephens said II was i'm
possible to estimate how far the body
had floa:ed since 1t had broken from
the river bed. II could have come
many miles during the time It evident
ly had been in the water, or held prac-
tically stationary in the back waters
II could have been the body OF n man
slain In Cincinnti, Covington, Ludlow
any city in the immediate vicinity.
No marks OF immediate identifica-
ton was found on the clothing. Due
to the long period It had been sub
merged. the body was in pro-
nounced state OF decomposition and
the features were indistinguishable.
The young man had heavy dark brown
hair, was about five feet ten inches
tall and weighed approximately $50
pounds. the Coroner said.

Several Truck Loads Of Liquor
Detained In 1920 Said 10 Figure.

Lexington, KY, May 2. - Several
truck loads of whisky held in Icing
ton for two or three days by the Ken
lucky prohibition director in the fall
of 1920 while the legality Of the per-
mits, under which 1t was represented
the liquor being transported to a
wholesale. drug firm in New York City,
was Investigated, constituted part OF
the numerous shipments Isaac Miller
J. w. Wilson, Louis Kay and John G..
MsAtee are charged in a Federal in
dictment for conspiracy with having
withdrawn on forged permits, accord
ing to prohibition officials here.
The New York and Pennsylvania d.
rectors from whose Office the permits
purported to have been issued, verified
the regularity of the permits by tele-
graph in each instance. Both these d.
rectors have been removed from Office
since that time and both are now un-
der Federal indictment on conspiracy
charges officials here say.
Three or four shipments Of two and
three truck loads were held here at
various times until the permits were
verified by the eastern directors, U. G.
Mcfarland, who was chief enforce
ment officer for Eastern Kentucky at
that time, said today. The liquor was
held up on the road between Lexing-
ton and Versailles, by Versailles police
officers and prohibition agents and he
trucks were brought to Lexington and
parked under heavy guard in the rear
of the postoffice building for day and
night in some instances.
The conspiracy trial of Miller, Nc
Atee, Kay and Wilson. which opened In
Federal court in Richmond Monday
morning came to sudden end late
Monday Afternoon when Judge A. NJ. j.
Cochran sustained a motion Of defend
ants counsel for a continuance to al
low them time to prepare defense for
what they claimed was entirely new
matter introduced in the testimony OF
a representative of the present Penn
sylyania state director: The case was
set for a special term OF court at
Richmond May 81.
Judge Cochran indicated that 1t was
too soon after the indictment was re-
turned to 60 into case Of the nature
developments had showed this one to
be and said he was going to allow the
defendants additional time to prepare
their defense.
"I've been on the bench twenty
years and have never been reversed
on a criminal case and don't want to
start now" Judge Cochran said. "I'm
going to take the position that com
plete bill of particulars must be filed
by the government so the defendants
may know what they are up against. /
don't want this case coming back here
to go all over again. When we finish
It I want 1t to stick. The higher courts
are calling for bills of particulars in
such cases as this, and I believe the
defendants are entitled to them" the
judge said.
