Held Over On $1,000.00 Bond Are Men Charged With Stealing Automobile Here. The trial of L.O. Wilson and C.F. Runyan, charged with stealing the Buick automobile of Ed Moore from his garage in this city three weeks ago, were tried before Judge Tartar on last Friday night. The Circuit Court room was packed with interested spectators. The men were held over to the grand jury and put under $1,000.00 bond. Never has a trial created such widespread interest. Mr. Moore will spare no expense in prosecuting these men, whom he believes guilty. He is represented by Attorney Wm. Waddle, who is assisting the County Attorney and the Commonwealth's Attorney. The defense is represented by Judge James Denton. The defendants swore that they purchased the automobile in Corbin, Ky., from a man by the name Price, whom they did not know. Mr. Wilson denied having ever been in Somerset, but Mr. Runyan admitted being here the day before the car was stolen. He claims, however, to have left town on the afternoon train. Several witnesses claim to have seen both Mr. Runyan and Mr. Wilson here on the day the car was stolen. All of the witnesses appeared before the grand jury Wednesday and if an indictment is returned the trial will likely be held at an early date. Judge Morrow Opens Court In Somerset For First Time.

Miss Florence Healey, daughter of Mrs. Henrietta Healey, and Mr. Chas. Bourne, both of this city, were married at St. Mildred's church last Wednesday morning at 8:30 before a large crowd of friends and relatives. Rev. J.D. Fallon performed the ceremony in a most impressive manner. The attendants were Miss Agnes Welch and Mr. Thomas McElroy. Following the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride. After a wedding trip through the east, Mr. and Mrs. Bourne will return to Somerset to reside. Both the bride and groom are very popular young people and have a host of friends who extend congratulations and best wishes. Mr. Bourne is employed at the Southern Railway Shops. Speaking Last Monday Took Up Greater Part of Afternoon. Large Crowd Here. The voters of Pulaski County were treated to all kinds of oratory last Monday afternoon. The Democrats and Republicans divided time, the Republicans speaking first. Mr. Bell, the Democratic nominee for Circuit Judge, had been billed to speak at 1 o'clock but did not start until about 2:30 as the Republican candidates had the Courthouse. Judge Kennedy, C.I. Ross, J.S. Cooper, Wm. Catron, R.C. Tartar and L.E. Meece spoke urging support of the Republican ticket. It will be remembered that only a few weeks ago some of these gentlemen were telling the voters that Judge Kennedy was not fit in any way to hold the office of Circuit Judge. They said some very mean things about him. Some of the other speakers had said just as mean things about Ross and other Republican nominees. Now they would have the voters believe perfect harmony reigns. Following the Republican oratory, Mr. Bell and Mr. Edwards spoke. Mr. Bell made a decided hit with the audience, nearly all of whom remained through the Republican speaking to hear him. He was given the closest attention. Mr. Bell stated that he had nothing to say against his opponent; that he would let the voters judge from what they heard of him from Republican sources during the campaign as to whether he was qualified to hold the place. He said that if one half is true what Judge Kennedy and Judge Bethurum told on each other, that neither of them were fit to hold office. Mr. Bell pointed to the fact that the office of Circuit Judge was not now a political office - that the Republican party had taken it out of politics and that any Republican supporting him should not be considered a "bolter," or not has having stood by the party nominee. When the speaking was over many Republicans came forward and promised Mr. Bell support. Mr. Jack Edwards, candidate for Sheriff, followed Mr. Bell in a short talk. He promised the voters if elected he would break up moonshining and bootlegging in the county and that while he was sheriff there would be no disturbing of religious worship. He promised to appoint as Deputy Sheriff's only sober, honest and efficient men. Mr. Edwards was given the greatest ovation on the day. Mr. Bell has been speaking throughout the county this week and spoke in Somerset last night to the women voters. He says he feels confident that he will be elected. Cowan. Mrs. Jane Cowan, 79 years of age, daughter of William Denham who was one of the well known citizens of Somerset, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Lawrence Camden, last Saturday. Funeral services were held at the home Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock by Rev. D.L. Clark, pastor First M.E. Church. Burial followed in the City Cemetery. Mrs. Denham was one of the most highly respected citizens of the county and will be greatly missed. Three children survive, Mrs. Fannie Solso, Mexico; Kit Cowan, Elihu, and Mrs. L.W. Camden. Bryant. Mrs. J.A. Bryant died at her home in this city last Sunday night after a short illness. Funeral services were held at the home Tuesday morning, conducted by Rev. W.G. Montgomery, pastor of the First Christian Church. Burial took place at Mt. Mariah, in Lincoln County. Quite a number of friends and relatives accompanied the remains to the last resting place. Mrs. Bryant before her marriage to Mr. Bryant, was a Miss Spirer of Stanford, Ky. Mr. and Mrs. Bryant moved to Somerset many years ago and during their stay here have made many warm and loyal friends. Besides the husband, one son, Orastus Bryant and two daughters, Misses Stella and Irene, all of this city, are left. Mrs. Bryant was a member of the Christian Church. Off For Harvard.

Dedman and "Block" Kenney entertained a few of their friends with a snipe hunt last Monday night. The party is said to have had a most enjoyable time though they did not get in until rather late. In Memory. The people were shocked to learn of the death of Jessie Muse, of Trimble, Ky., who died at his home on Monday, October 17th. He had only been sick a few days. He had a run-away and was thrown out, the buggy running over him and blood poison set up. He leaves a wife and two daughters and one son to mourn their loss. Contributed. In Memory (2). The death angel with a silent tread and a beckoning call entered the home of Mr. L.T. Brock and took his dear son, Vestel. He was the age of 17, just a bud blossomed. It seems sad, the boy had to go for he was liked by everyone who knew him. But He who took him from this world to the next knows best. He is survived by his father and five sisters and three brothers, to whom the sympathy of the community is extended in their sad bereavement. We hope the gates opened wide at his knocking and his friends who had gone on before him came flocking to give him a glad welcome. His life is ended, perhaps the ending of strife and only beginning of life. Contributed. In Remembrance. Vestel Brock of Trimble, Ky., the son of Tommie Brock, died at his home Wednesday morning. He had only been sick a few days with tonsillitis and took a relapse and choked to death. He was 17 years old. He leaves a father and six brothers and sisters, and a host of friends to mourn their loss. Contributed. Notice. It is being reported that I have withdrawn from the race for Councilman of First Ward. It is a mistake. I wish to have the support of the people of the ward, and if elected will work for the best interest and welfare of the people and the betterment of Somerset. Yours truly, John Fish. Vote For Jack. The good people of the county and especially the good women are working for Jack Edwards for sheriff. They are doing this because Mr. Edwards has spoken out firmly as to what he will do if elected. He has promised to break up moonshining and bootlegging and to enforce every law that it is his duty to enforce. There will be no shirking of duty if Jack is elected on November 8th. This is the time for the good people of the county to take a stand. Every voter who believes in the platform Jack is running on should get busy and help elect him. This is a great opportunity for the good people of the county to rally around a man who promises to do the things the people want done. Talk for Jack and vote for Jack. Advertisement.

Moonshining On The Increase In Pulaski County, Laws Not Enforced Is Trouble. People living in many sections of Pulaski County bring the news to the city that moonshining and bootlegging is on the increase in the county and that in some sections it is impossible to hold religious worship without being disturbed. Recently in different parts of the county pie suppers were broken up by intoxicated youths who were just from a moonshine still in the neighborhood. Pies were thrown over the building and people terrorized. It seems that the authorities have been unable to cope with the situation. Mr. Jack Edwards, candidate for Sheriff, when he was told of these conditions, said that nothing of the kind would happen if he was elected Sheriff. Mr. Edwards has promised that Pulaski County will be made a safe place to hold religious worship. He promises to appoint deputy sheriffs in every section of the county who are sober men and who will enforce the law. Of course the bootlegging and moonshining element are fighting the election of Mr. Edwards but the good people of the county are rallying to his support by the hundreds. In North Carolina. Mr. D.G.
