One Killed and Another Wounded When Deputy Sheriff Attempts To Serve Warrant. Bud Roberts was killed and Tom Wallace probably fatally wounded last Friday afternoon as the result of a regular battle between Deputy Sheriff Ebert Haynes and his friends on one side, and Chas. Wallace for whom he had a warrant, and his friends, on the other. The shooting took place near Hargis, this county. Deputy Sheriff Haynes had a warrant for Wallace and was on his way to serve it when he met Wallace in the road, it is said. He told him he had the warrant and from reports received here the shooting started immediately. Haynes claims Wallace fired the first shot. Friends of Haynes and Wallace rushed in and started firing. It is not known who killed Roberts. Fred Ballou was arrested for shooting and wounding and his trial set for Friday. He is said to have been on the Wallace side. J.L. Haynes and Carl Hyden are also said to have been in the affair. Candidates Running On Both Democratic and Republican Tickets Says Dispatch. A special from Frankfort to the Courier Journal, says: Frankfort, Ky., June 25 - Judge B.J. Bethurum and H.C. Kennedy, principals in the factional fight of Republicans in the Twenty-eighth Judicial District, exercising their rights under the Non-Partisan Judiciary Act, have entered both the Republican and Democratic primaries. An unusual situation would develop in event each obtained one party nomination and would again test for strength in the general election in November. However, this is not considered probable. The Democrats are running E.E. Bell, Monticello, for Circuit Judge, hoping to gain advantage form the split in the Republican ranks. It is distinctly a Pulaski County fight between the Bethurum and Morrow factions, who during the Presidential campaign maintained separate headquarters. The Governor is said to be keeping hands off although his brother, W.B. Morrow, and his brother-in-law, Ben L. Waddle, sent in a petition yesterday for H.C. Kennedy, who had filed his declaration several days ago. Both candidates for Judge live in Pulaski County. Rockcastle, Clinton and Wayne are other counties in the district. Waddle - Prather. Mr. Lewis E. Waddle and Miss Anna H. Prather, both popular young folks of Somerset surprised their friends by being quietly married at the Methodist Church parsonage by Rev. W.L. Clark the pastor. Following the ceremony the happy young couple left for a short bridal trip. Mr. Waddle is the son of Matt Waddle and is employed in the Citizens National Bank as individual bookkeeper. His bride is a most charming young lady and has been a teacher in the Somerset city schools. She is considered one of our most efficient members of the teaching force. Wilson - Jordan. The wedding of Miss Hazel Wilson and Mr. H. Nelson Jordan was solemnized at the Christian parsonage by Rev. W.G. Montgomery on Monday evening at 6 p.m. Only relatives of the bride were present. The bride is the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Wilson and is a graduate of the Somerset High School class of 1918. Shortly after graduation she went to Washington, D.C., to engage in war work and it was there she met her husband. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William J. Jordan of Troy, N.Y., and for the past year has held the position of assistant electrical engineer with the Pacific Gas and Electric Company of San Francisco, Cal. Mr. Jordan is a graduate of Renselear Polytechnic Institute of Troy, N.Y. Mr. and Mrs. Jordan's intentions are to return to San Francisco this fall, but the present time are at the home of the bride. They will leave shortly to reside in Cincinnati, O., for the summer. Still Destroyed. U.S. Marshall J.E. Bash of Somerset, and Messrs Thurmond, Critchfield and Fox made a raid Saturday night and captured and destroyed a moonshine still. The still was located on the Hanging Fork on the farm of Haven McBeath on the Lancaster Pike, just over the Lincoln County line. Danville Messenger. No Fourth Here. Our people are too busy to think about celebrating the Fourth of July with appropriate exercises. If there is any program or demonstration to be carried out we have not heard of it. Quite a number will go to Stearns and celebrate with them, while others will picnic and motor. At The Mansion. The Frankfort State Journal says: The Mansion was the scene of a beautiful party yesterday afternoon when Mrs. Edwin P. Morrow entertained with bridge, her house guests for the occasion being Mrs. Benjamin Waddle, Mrs. Sam Parker, Mrs. R.G. Williams, of Somerset, Mrs. Embry Allen of Lexington, and Mrs. Charles Moriarity of Covington. Summer flowers arranged with artistic effect were throughout the lower floor, the living room being adorned with trumpet vine, the State reception room with queen's lace handkerchief, and the halls with queen's lace handkerchief and pink gladolil. The card tables, nineteen in number, were arranged in the ball room and the State dining room, the former having elaborate decorations of queen's lace handkerchief and pink gladoll and the latter queen's lace handkerchief and crimson gladoll. Six prizes were offered, the one for top score being won by Mrs. Ernest Bradley of Lexington. The other prizes were won by Mrs. Guy Vansant, Mrs. J. Howard Murray, Mrs. T.N. French, Mrs. W. Rogers Clay and Mrs. Scott Thompson. Frappe was served during the hours, the table being placed in the center of the ball room and adorned with a bouquet of pink gladoll and queen's lace handkerchief. Miss Edwina Morrow and Miss Margaret Graham Vreeland presided. At the close of the game supper was served. City Council Met Monday Night To Consider Street Railway Proposition. Upon call of Mayor Cruse the City Council met Monday night to consider a proposition made the City by the Kentucky Utilities Company to operate the cars. Mayor Cruse and several members of the Council want the city to take over the car line but there is strong opposition within the council to this. It is pointed out that the city could not even assume the street improvement much less buy new cars, for they would far exceed their revenue. It will take something like $30,000 to put the cars in operation. The city could not raise this amount. It is said that another company has been formed and will take over the line and operate it for 6 cents but they will not agree to build the line to the shops. The city can not assume the street improvement for the amount owing on this work would run them considerably in debt. The Journal is anxious to see the cars operated and would be glad to see any body of men take it over who are in earnest and will give service. The city should require a good stiff bond from any parties buying the line. Let's have action gentlemen. We need the cars at once. Dr. Chase at Lexington. The Lexington Leader says: Doctor H.S. Chase, of the United States Health Service, has been transferred to Lexington from Denver, Colo., and is now in the city the guest of one of his sons, Herbert Chase, of the Kaufman Clothing Company. Doctor Chase is fresh from a season of hard service at Pueblo, the scene of the terrible flood. He says that the death list in that flood will never be known. The scenes of terror and devastation which accompanied the torrent cannot be described. Prominent people, men and women, were overcome and drowned on prominent business streets, their bodies covered with mud and sand. He speaks in high praise of the splendid rescue and signal work done by the Scouts of Pueblo and vicinity. Official Here. Mr. L.B. Herrington, vice president of the Kentucky Utilities Co., was in the city last weekend in conference with Mr. Shotwell, the local manager. Mr. Herrington said that he was having considerable trouble in Somerset with the operation of the plant here and that he came down to see if some of the tangles could be straightened out. He wants to get rid of the street railway and was in conference with parties figuring on buying the property. There are several suits pending now against the company for failure to operate the cars and for not providing water mains on certain streets. The suits will likely come up at the next term of Circuit Court unless the improvements are made. Best Proposition. The very best proposition that has been made the city for the operation of the street railway and the one they should have accepted, was made by Messrs Joe H. Gibson, William Waddle, J.L. Waddle, V.P. Smith and Cecil Williams. Their proposition to the Council was to operate the cars on a regular schedule; buy two new cars; extend the line to the railroad shops; assume all street improvement; do more work on streets and raise track where needed and give good service if the Council would grant a 10 cents fare. These improvements would have meant an expenditure of about $35,000. Establish Office. The Bureau of War Risk Insurance has established a district office in Somerset with Dr. Green Cain in charge. Dr. Cain has seven counties under his supervision and will do all of the examination work for these counties. Ex-service men applying for compensation will report here for examination. Officers are in rooms formerly occupied by Dr. S.F. Parker, now owned by O.W. Swaim. Work Started. Work of excavating for the foundation for the $100,000 Community Church started last week and a large force of men, teams and trucks are busy. This institution is going to be the biggest asset Somerset will have and everyone should boost and help in whatever way they can to see that it is completed as rapidly as possible. High School Notes. Teachers attending universities during summer terms: Misses Adele Dorsey and Mary Floyd are at the Univ. of Chicago. Miss Clara Boldrick the new art teacher, is studying at the Chicago Art Institute. Miss Allie Fowler will leave next week to attend Peabody College in Nashville. Miss Grace Propst will take a Librarians Course in Peabody College this summer. Miss Grace Otter who has been taking a course in Genetics and General Biology with Dr. Middleton in Louisville has gone to Bradley Institute in Peoria, Ill., to study during the remainder of the summer. Somerset should be proud of its teachers. In Fine Shape. The streets of Somerset are in better condition today than they have been in years, thanks to the City Council. That is one thing they have done well and deserve the commendation of all the people. Now what needs be done is to have one man with nothing to do but look after the streets and patch them when needed. This will save considerable future expense. The people generally are pleased with tarvia. This should be placed on the streets again next year and then it would not be necessary to do any additional work for several years. If the City Council will give us some street car service we will then say, "Well Done." On Committee. J.A. Cassady, Joe H. Gibson and Will Waddle have been placed on the reception committee for the Fourth of July celebration at Stearns. They will attend. Big preparations are being made for the event. There will be speaking, ball game, dance, and many other attractions. Auto Licenses. It is reported from the County Clerk's office that 650 automobile licenses have been issued in Pulaski County. This includes trucks and all classes of cars. For Mayor. In this issue of The Journal we are authorized to announce W.C. Norfleet a candidate for Mayor of Somerset. Mr. Norfleet is at present a member of the City Council and is well known in Somerset, where he has always taken an interest in city affairs. He is employed by the Southern Railroad Company as car inspector. Mr. Norfleet is the second one to announce for this office, Mr. Harvey Jenkins having announced last week. Training Camp. A free thirty days outing for 1,400 young Americans between 16 and 35 years of age from July 21st to August 20th, 1921. Hurrah Boys! Let's Go! Where? At the Camp Knox, Ky., Military Training Camp. The War Department pays all expenses including railroad fare from home there and back again, with free meals, quarters, uniforms, laundry, equipment, medical attendance, entertainments, etc., while there. No obligation of service of any kind after the camp is over. Why? To bring together young men of all types, both native and foreign born, to develop closer national and social unity, to teach the privileges, duties and responsibilities of American citizenship. And to show parents and the public in general by actual example that camp instruction of the kind to be given will be to the liking of their sons; that it will develop them physically, mentally and morally, and will teach red blooded Americanism in its true sense. Get application blanks from Lieut. Cecil Williams at The Journal Office, Somerset, Ky., and apply at once before it is too late. Don't miss this opportunity of a lifetime. No Jobs. Boys home from college have been trying hard to find work for the summer but have not been successful. It is the same story all over the United States now - about four men for every job. Out west men are begging for and offering to work for their board. Such a condition is due largely to the fact that the United States is not exporting any commodities and we cannot consume all we manufacture and grow. Had the United States joined the League of Nations two years ago things would be different now. We would be selling to foreign countries and business would be on the boom. The whole condition of the country can justly be laid to the Republican Party. Taylor - Davis Debate. The Taylor- Davis debate started Tuesday morning at the opera house and large crowds have been attending. The debate will close today. The subject of the debate the first two days was "That the Missionary Baptist Church is scriptural in origin, name, doctrine and practice." The subject the last two days was "That the Church of Christ is scriptural in origin, name, doctrine and practice." Taylor took the affirmative the first two days and the negative the last two. Good For Jake. Captain Jake Bethurum who has been stationed at Camp Benning, Ga., has been assigned as an instructor at State Univ., Lexington, Ky., for four years beginning with the opening of school next fall. Captain Bethurum will be here next week for a short visit before going to Camp Knox, where he will be located until September. J.E. Bash Doing Splendid Work. (Danville Messenger). Mr. J.E. Bash of Somerset, U.S. Deputy Marshall, is doing splendid work in going after violators of the prohibition laws. He has had many years experience in this kind of work and moonshiners and bootleggers haven't much of a chance to "get by" with their business when he is in their neighborhood. Many moonshine whiskey stills have been broken up in this district by Mr. Bash, who goes about his work in a systematic and easy manner, but who gets results, as the records of the U.S. Commissioner, Mr. W.S. Lawwill of Danville, will show. We often hear people say that the prohibition laws are not being enforced and that you can buy whisky most any place, but these statements are not true. Of course, there is some whisky being sold in most communities, but very little, compared to the old days of saloons. Mr. Bash has a hard job, but he is making good in every particular. Another Bus. Virgil Bobbitt is in Louisville this week after another bus to ad to his taxi service. This bus will hold about twenty passengers and will be in operation about Monday. Mr. Bobbitt says that he will add another if the business justifies it. Body Returned. The body of Luther C. Delk, killed in France in 1918, arrived here last Friday for burial in the National Cemetery. The remains were accompanied by a soldier escort. Delk was one of the first to enlist from this county. In Rockcastle. Leonard E. Meece, campaign manager for Judge Bethurum, is in Rockcastle County this week speaking. Judge Kennedy and W.B. Morrow are also speaking in Rockcastle. D.L. Scoles Will Leave Soon For Constantinople To Become Head of College. Mr. and Mrs. D.L. Scoles, of Bloomington, Ill., arrived this week for a short visit with Mrs. Scoles aunt, Miss Martha Campbell, before sailing for Constantinople, where Mr. Scoles head the Chemistry Department of Roberts College at that place. The Daily Pantagraph had the following article of interest about Mr. Scoles: D.L. Scoles, head of the chemistry department of the Wesleyan, has resigned his position and accepted a professorship at Roberts College, Constantinople, Turkey. Mr. Scoles was reared at Mt. Vernon, Ohio, and taught in the public schools there before going to college. He reached the summit in that time, then entered college graduating from Brea College in 1914, having held almost all positions of trust, confidence and responsibility in the province of fellow students to bestow and was a student during the entire period. After graduation, he taught science in the Monroe, Wis., high school one year and then accepted an assistantship in the Iowa State College at Ames, where he taught a full term and continued graduate study, leading to a master's degree. Rise in the profession has been steady and rapid, with no periods of stagnation and as he said to a colleague a few weeks ago, he is still going. At Ames he was made assistant professor in 1919, when he resigned to head the chemistry department at the Wesleyan Univ. he has repeatedly been solicited to return to the "alma mater" to head the chemistry department there. Roberts College is located at Constantinople, Turkey, on the shores of the Bosporus and is the most important of all institutions of its kind in the near east. There are over 600 students coming from all parts of that quarter of the globe. The prestige of the collage at Constantinople is very great and has the unique position of being on friendly terms with all the elements in that very cosmopolitan community. Strange as it may seem the representatives of the various nationalities within the college live together most friendly in spite of the fact that their respective nations might be at war against each other. The college was kept open all through the war. It is rather difficult for most American people to appreciate the prestige that Roberts College has in Constantinople. Its influence is greater than any particular government. That Prof. Scoles has accepted the opportunity for foreign service will perhaps be a surprise to many. He takes little time to talk of doing things, he does them. Prof. and Mrs. Scoles and little daughter, Maribel, will sail from New York in August. The plan is to pack the furniture for shipment immediately following the commencement and spend the summer driving about Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio, visiting relatives and friends. Mrs. Scoles aunt, Miss Martha B. Campbell, of Somerset, Ky., arrived a week ago to spend the remaining days with them in Bloomington, and the summer visiting. Farm News.
