Brother Kills Jeff Smith While On Visit To His Home. Is Demented. Mr. Jeff Smith, of this county, a prominent and well known business man, was killed by his demented half brother, Cyrus Barren, at his home in Jackson, Tenn., on last Wednesday. A heavy poker was used as the deadly weapon. Mr. Smith had been with his brother for about a week and was just preparing to return home when the awful crime was committed. It is said that the brother has never realized what happened. The body of Mr. Smith was brought to his home in the county and funeral services were held at Salem Church on last Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Montgomery, of the First Christian Church. Burial took place in family burying ground. Mr. Smith was 50 years of age and a cousin of Ben V. Smith and Miss Anise Smith of Somerset. Douglas Elected. Mr. John W. Douglas of Owenton, Ky., was elected executive head of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows for 1921 at the meeting in Lexington this week. R.G. Elliott was re-elected Secretary and B.J. Durham, Treasurer. Burch Dead. Hon. William S. Burch, aged about fifty years, a prominent attorney of Stanford, Ky., died at the Boyle County hospital, Danville, last Wednesday. Mr. Burch was well known in Somerset. Is Paroled. H.D. Britton, of Pulaski, was paroled by Governor Morrow from the State Reformatory this week. He was serving a fifteen months sentence charged with giving a cold check. Off For West. That good Democrat and splendid gentleman, Mathew Warren, of Ruth, left Wednesday for Round Rock, Texas, to spend the winter with his brother, J.R. Warren. Found Pin. A thirty cent want "ad" found the pretty cameo pin which Miss Ida York lost last week. And some people say it doesn't pay to advertise. James Liston Gets Promotion. Made Superintendent of Frisco Lines Between Springfield, Bo., and Birmingham. Somerset people will be interested to learn of the continued rise of Mr. James Liston in the railway business. Recently he was promoted to the position of Superintendent of the Frisco System from Springfield, Mo., to Birmingham, Ala. This is one of the most important divisions on the system. For some years Mr. Liston has been superintendent of the division extending west from Enid, Oklahoma. His headquarters were at Enid. His headquarters will now be at Memphis, Tenn. Mr. Liston began at the bottom and his promotions have been steady and important. Mr. Liston lived in Somerset for a number of years and was chief train dispatcher for the C.N.O.& T.P. Ry. Co. Very Ill. Jessie P. Randall, for a good many years a member of the Somerset police force, is very ill at his home in this city. He has been unconscious since Sunday and it is though there is no chance for his recovery. To Ashland. R.B. Waddle left yesterday for Ashland, Ky., to meet representatives of a large gas company who want to buy the output of the three gas wells of the Pu-John Oil Co. Mr. Waddle will return Saturday. Boiler Trouble. On account of trouble with the boiler of the steam heating plant at the high school building the grade rooms were dismissed Wednesday. The damage was repaired by working day and night and school convened again Thursday. First Snow. Somerset was visited this week with a heavy snow, the first of the season. Hunters who had taken the field were forced to come in. Newton - Corder. Mr. Leslie Newton and Miss Bert Corder, both of this city, were married about two weeks ago in Huntington, W.Va. They kept the marriage a secret until the past few days when they told their friends. Mrs. Newton has been employed in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Washington, D.C., and was n her way home when Mr. Newton met her at Huntington and the marriage took place. They returned to Somerset and are now at the home of the bride. Mrs. Newton is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. V.E. Corder and has been engaged in war work in Washington for the past three years. Mr. Newton is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Newton and has been connected with his father in the hotel business. Journal's Mistake. It last week's issue of the Journal it was stated that the elevator of the Cumberland Grocery Company, which fell with Mr. C.A. Hurt on it, was condemned. This was a mistake and the Journal regrets that it made the statement. We got the information from what we thought a reliable source but it turns out that we were misinformed. The elevator is inspected every three months by state authorities and by the company. It was apparently in good condition but was over loaded. We are glad to make this correction. Waddle Here. Mr. Joe Waddle, manager of the Pu-John Oil Co., is at home from the Johnson field for a few days. The company will not start drilling again until the gas from the three wells they have drilled is put in the pipe line. It is expected that a deal with be closed this week with certain parties for the output of the wells. If the wells hold up to what is expected the revenue will be around $300 a day. Hides Off. Hide dealers have thousands of pounds of hides on hands and can find no market for them, it is said. Hides are bringing only five cents per pound. Last year the best grade hides brought 35 cents per pound. Wesley Hurt. Gladstone Wesley's "lizzy" kicked him last Saturday and as a result he is carrying his right arm in a sling. The muscles were badly torn and the arm otherwise injured. It was a very painful accident. Elected Moderator. W.A. Frost of Wingo was elected moderator of the Kentucky Baptist Association at the State meeting in Owensboro this week. Mr. Frost is a member of the State Senate. Hurt Chief Justice. Judge Rollins Hurt, of this district, becomes by seniority Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals January 1st, when Judge John D. Carroll retires. Street Work. Main St. from the top of Waits Hill to the depot is undergoing repairs and with the exception of a short distance near the Southern Railway Office building the stretch is now in good condition. The work will be resumed as soon as the weather will permit. The City Council is thinking of buying a crusher and roller and going into the business on a big scale. They claim that if they owned their own equipment that they could be doing work continually and at a small cost. Buckwheat Crop. County Agent Wilson reports that the buckwheat crop is about 25 per cent normal. The farmers realized from 90 cents to $1.25 a bushel for it. It is estimated that between 35,000 and 50,000 bushels were shipped out of the county. A large number of the farmers decided to feed their crops instead of selling. Mixes with other things it makes splendid feed. Back to Army. Lieutenant Joe Henry Hussing, who resigned from the army about two months ago, has been reappointed with the rank of First Lieutenant and is now stationed at Camp Pike, Ark., with the 30th Infantry. Lieut. Hussing was formerly with the 58th Infantry and was stationed at Camp Lewis, Washington. Taylor - Miles. Mrs. Mary Miles and Mr. R.P. Taylor, two of Pulaski's prominent citizens, were married in Danville last Thursday. They motored through and returned the next day. They are receiving congratulations from their many friends. Boy is Found. The twelve-year-old son of Mrs. S. Foster, who disappeared from home last week, was found at Indian Head by some parties who saw the account of his leaving home in the paper last week. Mrs. Foster was notified and the boy returned home. Most Remote School in Kentucky Is Located In Pulaski County, Says Supt. Meece. The most isolated school in the State of Kentucky is located in Pulaski County says Superintendent L.E. Meece. Mr. Meece received a letter this week forwarded from State Superintendent Colvin in which Miss Susan B. Brinkley, of New York City, wants to know the name and location of the most isolated school in the State of Kentucky. Mr. Colvin thought the school was located in Pulaski so he sent Mr. Meece the letter. Mr. Meece sent the following reply to Miss Brinkley: "In my opinion the most remote, isolated public school in Kentucky is located in Pulaski County near the mouth of Rockcastle River and near the McCreary and Laurel County lines. The name of the school is Bear Wallow and it is taught by Mrs. Grace Wallace of Hail, Ky. The closet post office to the school is ten miles. The district is the largest in the county and there are only 26 pupils in attendance. There is no cleared land in sight of the school house." This school is ten miles from Hail and a like distance from Mt. Victory. One can travel for miles from either place and never pass a house, it is said. This part of the county is rich in mineral resources and timber but is undeveloped. It is about twenty miles from Somerset. Circuit Court. The grand jury is still in session and up to this time seventy-five indictments have been returned. Henry Carter was tried on Tuesday for carrying concealed weapons and given a fine of $50 and ten days in jail. No other case of importance have been tried since our last issue. Court adjourned Tuesday until Thursday as all the cases set for Wednesday had been disposed of. The petit jury was dismissed until Monday. Stella Cato will be tried on Monday for killing Dezzie Ross about two weeks ago. Hood. Mr. John Hood, one of the well known and highly respected citizens of the county, died at his home in Norwood, Tuesday. He was 65 years of age. Mr. Hood had been in ill health for some time. With the exception of a year, when he lived in Lincoln County, Mr. Hood had spent most of his life in Pulaski. He was a good farmer, a splendid citizen and will be greatly missed. His son, John Hood, Jr., is employed by the Kentucky Utilities Company in Somerset. Coming To Front. Wayne County is coming to the front again as an oil producing county. Several large strikes have been made lately. Mr. A.R. Humble of this city has valuable holdings in the new field and has already been offered a nice profit on his property. Other Somerset people are also interested. At Owensboro. The annual meeting of the General Association of Kentucky Baptists are in session at Owensboro this week. Dr. W.E. Hunter, pastor of the First Baptist Church, this city, is attending. "Tead" There. Mr. Frank Hines has a letter from his son, Walter (Tead) Hines, enclosing him a letter that he received from the General Manager of the plant for which he works congratulating him on the way he was managing the Fresno plant of the company. The letter states that the company is more than pleased with the rapidity with which Mr. Hines loads cars and gets them away from the plant. Under his management the company had no demurrage to pay. Somerset friends of this popular young man will be glad to know that he is making good in the far west. Engineer Killed In Train Crash Near Lexington Last Sunday. Head-On Collision. Owing to his large size and weight, Engineer C.C. Horn, who tipped the scales at 450 pounds and was said to be the largest engineer in the United States, was instantly killed on last Sunday morning in a head-on collision seven miles from Lexington on the Southern Railroad. Horn was piloting a north bound freight train, when it was struck by a south bound freight, running on extraordinary schedule. Traffic was delayed three hours. All members of the crews jumped except Mr. Horn. Fifty-two head of hogs in cars on the north bound train were killed, it is said. According to an unofficial statement the frights were to have met at Greendale. The south bound train, it is said, was beyond the scheduled point of meeting. The trains met one mile north of Sandersville and south of Greendale. Division Superintendent J.G. Clements, of this city, ordered an investigation last Monday. All members of the crew were present but nothing has been given out yet. The engineer of the south bound train was M. Myerhoff, of Ludlow, and the conductor was Walter Coe. The conductor of the north bound train was A. Keith. Program.

Richmond, Ky. Nov. 12 - Jim and Beverly Bailey, two alleged moonshiners of Knox County, charged with resisting United States offices in the performance of heir duty and intimidating them, were found guilty by a jury in the United States District Court here today and sentenced by Judge A.M.J. Cochran to three years in the Atlanta Penitentiary. The two men, feudists, who testified that they had been wounded by the Whites, with whom their family was at war, were charged with driving U.G. McFarland, chief prohibition officer for the Eastern District of Kentucky, and Charles Winfrey, United States Deputy Marshall, down the mountain and away from the scene of a raid in Knox County, December 3, 1918. In sentencing the men, Judge Cochran scored them severely and said that he would believe anything Mr. McFarland testified to. McFarland and Winfrey, two seasoned raiders, told in court yesterday how the Bailey brothers, heavily armed, had backed five officers down the mountain when they came to break up a still up Green Briar Branch, ten or twelve miles over the hills from Barbourville, Knox County. In the face of death, they testified, with two guns leveled at Winfrey, McFarland parleyed with the mountaineers and finally succeeded in leaving without a shot having been fired. The Baileys vigorously denied the charge. Their story agrees with the officers in the main, but assert that all times they were friendly as they went down the mountain with the officers and they pointed to the fact that they younger Bailey permitted Deputy Marshall Bash to ride his horse from the home of Dick Smith, where the officers had burned up a still furnace, to the Bailey home where it was left. The officers testified that the Bailey boys both had pointed their guns at Winfrey and Jim Bailey demanded: "Which one of you was on that raid up here before? Are you the man who sat down at my mother's table with your coat off and a pistol on you?" The Baileys admitted asking this question, but denied pointed their guns. They said they were all friendly and made no effort to interfere with the burning of the furnace. When he saw Winfrey covered, McFarland said he started to shoot, but realized it meant death for his companion, so tried parleying. The officers told of the Baileys following them and of meeting other groups of armed men on the way down the mountain, among them, William Bailey, the boys father. It was testified that the Baileys boarded a railroad train on which the officers were leaving the country and made boasts of being moonshiners and even offered the officers a drink. Both men left the country afterward. Jim Bailey was arrested in Akron and his brother came home to stand trial with him. Crime Wave Sweeps Chicago. Sixteen Persons Killed Due To Criminals and Accidents. One Gang Cleans Up Over Sixty Persons - Masonic Celebration Easy Picking For Crooks - Those That Resisted Were Shot or Clubbed. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Chicago, Ill. - Sixteen persons are dead and many others injured as a result of an outburst of crime, joy riding by drunken brawlers, train and street car accidents, quarrels, robberies and other elements that tend to make human life one of the poorest of risks in Chicago. Included in the list are three murders, and among six others mysterious and unexplained deaths there probably are at least four more murders. Four persons were killed by railroad trains and three died under burning automobiles after crashing down in wrecks. In addition to the crimes which resulted in death, there were numerous robberies. Perhaps the most highly organized series of robberies took place in Elmhurst, an exclusive suburb, and the Chief of Police, Harry Magers was fatally shot by robbers. The Masonic fraternity had just completed a new temple in Elmhurst and the dedication services were held. This brought out a large attendance of well to do people and a band of robbers saw fine opportunities for a general clean-up. They stationed themselves at a lonely spot in the street, through which all, or practically all, the visitors to the temple would have to pass and held them up as they came along. It is said they had robbed about sixty persons when Magers interfered and was shot. He is dying in an Elmhurst hospital. Tom Johnson, one of the robbers has confessed to shooting Magers. Two of the four murders bear unusual aspects, suggesting revenge instead of robbery. Charles Madderen, 24 years old, a chemist, was found in a vacant lot shortly after midnight by two negroes. He had been shot over the heart and indications are he was slain at some other point and the body carried to the vacant lot. There were no signs of a struggle and $62 in cash and valuable jewelry in his clothing had not been disturbed. Madderen served with a Minnesota regiment during he war, and was a nephew of C.K. Madderen, millionaire head of a big coal company. Another mysterious killing was that of William Sanderson, who, before he was removed to a hospital in a dying condition, said he was reading in the tower the residence where he resided when he was summoned to the door by vigorous knocking. Two motorists their faces partially concealed by goggles, pushed their way into the house and one of them shot him over the heart. A young lady roomer in the same house heard the summons at the door and the shots that followed. She says there was very little conversation, and that in such a low tone that she could make nothing out of it. This also appears to have been a "grudge" murder. Chester Bevins was passing Al Tearney's café when he noticed a policeman struggling with Mrs. Anna Dixon in a taxicab parked at the curbing. The policeman, Joseph R. Norris, was in citizen's clothing. Bevins alighted from his automobile and went to he rescue of the woman. Norris shot him twice and he died a half hour later in a hospital. A political feud between the adherents of Congressman John W. Rainey and John Golomkiesld, his opponent, led to the shooting of Attorney Edwin Larney, who was distributing circulars for Congressman Rainey. Louis Pommier, who was with Larney, was badly beaten by four men, who rode up in an auto and shot Larney in the right leg. Scores of people emerging from nearby churches witnessed the shooting of Larney and the beating of Pommier. Man Hunt Started By Marines. Washington - Every marine corps bureau in the United States was ordered to conduct a vigorous search for First Lieutenant Edgar Franklin, who mysteriously disappeared from the Hotel Raleigh October 7. Firm belief was expressed by marine corps officials that Franklin is the victim of foul play. It was pointed out that Franklin was of mature years, in good health and had an exceptional record as an officer. The idea that he is deliberately concealing his whereabouts is scouted by he missing man's wife. Robbers Clean Out Gold Car From Mint. More Than One Million Dollars Is Stolen In Nebraska. Hurl Bags Outside To Their Confederates - Crime Scene Is Near Iowa State Line - Loss Estimates Vary, But Go As High As $1,200,000. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Council Bluffs, Iowa - Three men were under arrest in connection with the robbery of he Burlington fast mail train from Omaha to Chicago. Two of them are mail clerks and were reported by police to have stated they thought they knew who robbed the car. Police refuse to name the man they suspect. The other man arrested is said by officers to have confessed, but they refuse to state who he is or why of the particulars of his alleged confession. Omaha, Neb. - Efforts were being made to recover between $1,000,000 and $1,200,000 stolen by train bandits when they broke into a mail car on the Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad between here and Council Bluffs. Scores of secret service men, post office inspectors and details of police worked throughout the day searching for the robbers and their loot. Government officials refused to hazard a guess as to the amount stolen by the bandits. Railroad officials said it might not exceed $20,000, but Omaha and Council Bluffs police officials made no attempt to minimize the robbery. A part of the loot was a Treasury shipment of gold from the United States Treasury in Washington, it was reported. In addition to the gold, there was a vast quantity of currency, bonds and registered notes. "There is no use to deny that it was the biggest train robbery in 25 years if not in the whole history of the country," said Captain Charles Shafer of the Council Bluffs police. M. Eberstein, Chief of Police of Omaha, charged the robbery was committed by persons familiar with the Government's method of shipping gold. "Somebody connected with the department, somebody on the inside, was in the plot," he said. He had heard, unofficially, the shipment exceeded $1,000,000. Government officials working on the case would make no statement. They said the amount of loot obtained might not be known for 30 days. The car was made up in San Francisco and consisted of a shipment of money, stocks and bonds from many different California towns and cities. It was addressed to banks in numerous cities on the Atlantic seaboard. It was understood there was a heavy shipment for Chicago and another for New York, in addition to a gold shipment from the San Francisco Mint to the Treasury Department in Washington. Cry of Fire Stampeded. New York - Stampeded by the cry of "Fire," patrons of a motion picture theater on Cherry St. trampled out the lives of six children, ranging from 2 to 13 years old, and injured 12 others. A fire was being built in the furnace in the basement under the theater. The smoke, penetrating crevices in the floor, frightened the audience and the cry of "fire" arose. The little theater was crowded to capacity. Children filled most of the 300 seats, for the hero of the picture was a lad who rose from humble surroundings to riches and fame. The youngsters were absorbed in the progress of the screen hero, who was protecting his father from thieves, when the smoke made its appearance. $93,000 Taken From Mail Pouch. Steubenville, O. - The payroll of the Weirton Steel Company at Weirton, W.Va., amounting to $93,000, was stolen from a registered mail bag. The currency was taken from a Pittsburg bank to the post office there, placed in a registered mail bag and shipped to Weirton from the Pennsylvania Railroad Station, according to officers. 169 Murders Since January 1. Chicago - Murders in Chicago since January 1, 1920, reached a total of 169 when the bodies of two actresses were found in Grant Park, at the foot of Van Buren St., where they had evidently been thrown from an automobile. Anarchists Flee From Red Chiefs. Washington - Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman, who were deported from the United States, have made a hurried exit from Russia, after a disagreement with Lenin and Trotsky, and are in the Ukraine, according to a letter from Miss Goldman, received in Washington. A high Government official said that they either are at Odessa or Kiev in the Ukraine and have no intention of returning to Russia as long as the Lenin-Trotsky regime is a power. Prices Dropping. Newspaper reports from all over the country indicate a lowering of prices generally on all commodities. One report says hogs dropped to the 1917 level; another that corn is selling at 60 cents per bushel, hay and other feedstuffs are dropping in price. Other reports say clothing makers reduce prices 33 1/3 to 40 per cent. Still another announces nation wide reductions in the price of meals at restaurants and hotels. But on the other hand we note this headline: "Paper cost likely to remain high." Reports indicate that prices on paper are not likely to recede for some time. It is said that paper industry is in better condition financial than many other industries, but lack of surplus stock would make price reductions impossible. Sgt. Lanes Here. Sgt. Lanes, U.S.A., from Lexington, is in the city on recruiting duty. He will be here during the week and will return later and open a recruiting office. Enlistments are now open for Panama, Hawaiian Islands and other countries. The army now teaches vocational training which is a big drawing card. Hurt Improving. Mr. C.A. Hurt, who was seriously injured at the Cumberland Grocery Company last week, is improving and it is thought now that he has a chance to recover. A specialist was called into consultation by the Cumberland Grocery Company. Special Train. Students are working on a special train for Lexington for Thanksgiving in order that a large crowd of rooters might accompany the team for the Lexington Hi game. Only 125 are required to get this train and anyone desiring to make the trip can communicate with Captain Dexheimer or any of the school authorities. Appreciate Offering. The Journal is in receipt of the following letter from the Kentucky Baptist Children's Home, Glendale, Ky.: November 11, 1920. Editor Somerset Journal, Somerset, Ky. Dear Sir: A few days ago Misses Frances Wilson and Maggie Richardson, teachers in Oak Hill school, sent the Kentucky Baptist Children's Home a check for $52.00 to be used for the benefit of our children. This generous and timely donation was a part of the proceeds of a Pie Supper given by these ladies at their school, for benevolent purposes. We wish to express our appreciation for this kindly remembrances of the children in the Kentucky Baptist Children's Home, to the teachers and also to those who had part in this benevolent enterprise. Sincerely, M. Geo. Moore, Superintendent. Season Opens. The open season for shooting quail, woodcock, wild turkey, imported pheasants, rabbits and deer began last Monday. It is unlawful to kill more than twelve quail or six woodcocks a day or to snare rabbits or trap or kill any song or insectivorous birds at any time. It is unlawful to hunt off of your own land without a license. The fields were full of hunters all week. Quail is said to be plentiful. Small Fire. A fire that in a short time would have probably destroyed the pretty new home of Ed Moore, just nearing completion, was discovered by neighbors and the alarm turned in last Saturday night. A board had fallen over the furnace grate and caught fire. The damage was small. Job Open. The Civil Service Commission has announced an examination to be held at Somerset, Ky., November 27th, 1920, for the position of Fireman-Laborer at the post office building, Salary $720 per annum. By direction of the Commission. Wigglesworth - Reagan. Mrs. Harry Rhodes Wigglesworth announces the engagement of her daughter, Lela Woods, to Mr. Arlie Reagan, of Detroit, Michigan. The marriage will take place at the Cynthiana Baptist Church in December. Gypsy Smith closed his meeting in Louisville Sunday night. There was 15,000 conversions. The tabernacle was paid for and a free will offering of more than $6,000 was presented to the evangelist. Lenin having captured Sebastopol expects to take Constantinople and overrun Turkey, but the British ships on the Black Sea are preventing any communication between Russia and Turkey. A fifty-gallon moonshine still has been found on the premises of a Louisville policeman. In Louisville for the last year of the saloon, there were 7,000 arrests for drunkenness and drunk and disorderly conduct while under the first dry year there have been only 1,000 arrests for these offenses. The United States government report says the big production of coal has relieved the shortage scare and is forcing down prices. Freezing weather is reported as far south as Texas. United States warships have been rushed to the aid of refugees from Sebastopol. Political Notes. Friends of Judge Bethurum are confident that if he had continued in the race for United States Senator that he would now be Senator-elect Bethurum. His friends are confident that he would have made as good a race, if not better, than Mr. Ernst. Judge Bethurum missed one other chance of going to the Senate when certain politicians in the state threw him down for Dr. Bruner. An election to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator P. Hogue will be held soon if there is to be an extra session of the legislature. Several are mentioned for this place. There has been some talk that Judge R.C. Tartar might make this race instead of trying for four more years as County Judge. The name of Judge James Denton is also heard. There is no doubt but what there will be a candidate from Pulaski. Gladstone Wesley, it is said, will ask the voters of Pulaski to return him to Frankfort for the next session of the legislature. Gladstone made a good record and no doubt will be given a second term. Friends of Napier Adams are urging him to make the race for County Judge. Mr. Adams has not given his consent though and it is more than likely that he will be content to hold the office he now has for four years. Ben P. Hines talks like he might get into the race for Sheriff with C.I. Ross and Ed Thurman. Mr. Hines boats of the fact that he belongs to no faction but is just an old-fashioned Republican. It is said that Jonas Wilson is thinking of throwing his hat in the ring also. Marriage Licenses. County Clerk Langdon has issued the following marriage licenses during the past week: Levi Gill, 26, to Eliza Todd, 21; Roscoe P. Taylor, 41, to Mary Miles, 37; Walter D. Adams, 21, to Desdie Hair, 14; Acton Barber, 20, to Leuania Dick, 19; Everett Cain, 20, to Parthena Anderson, 20; Willard Newport, 29, to Osey Brown, 24. Hospital Notes. Mr. C.A.
