Gov. Morrow Has Narrow Escape When His Bed In Seelbach Hotel Catches On Fire. (Louisville Herald) In a driving rain the Louisville Fire Department dashed to the Seelbach Hotel in response to an alarm at 3:30 o'clock yesterday morning. Upon arriving there, Governor Edwin P. Morrow stood upon a balcony on the second floor. Governor Morrow has stood on many balconies looking out upon the people - but never before in such unconventional dress. In fact, he had on only his nighties. Firemen rushing to his aid entered the room and found the bed in which the governor only a short time before had been slumbering brightly ablaze with flames leaping eagerly toward the walls. Burning bedding, mattress and pillow were thrown out the window. En route to the street below, the pillow, with a large hole burned in it, gave forth its contents sending a white shower of feather upon the group of curious who had gathered n the street below. As a considerable crowd had gathered, due to the fact that a dance had just ended, much confusion ensued. The blasé was quickly extinguished. Then it developed that the governor's plight, marooned on the balcony in the rain, had been not only uncomfortable, but also a bit dangerous one for several minutes as the flames had gained some extent before extinguished. Governor Morrow is said to be a devotee of smoking in bed and his dozing off gave rise to the call of the fire department. Governor Morrow was awakened by the blaze in his room and called to Patrolman T.T. Duff and John Boes in the street below to turn in the alarm. The fire occurred in Room 222. A loss of only $100 was caused by the blaze. Governor Morrow had left the city yesterday, but will return today to make an address. "The Devil" There was exhibited last week at the Somerset Fair an object that attracted several thousand people into a small tent. They each paid 25 cents admission fee. Some came out and said the whole thing was a fake, while others said they would not have missed it for a dollar. Anyway, it was the biggest drawing card at the fair. The object that is attracting so much attention was found by Crusie Sexton while digging for cola near Helenwood, Tenn. It has the appearance of a petrified form, about five feet, ten inches long, large head with horns, large nose and ears, wings reaching to ankles and teeth showing. The arms are long and slender and are crossed over the body. The hands have extra long fingers and the ankles are enlarged. Mr. Sexton, who made the find, was in the city this week and made an affidavit that he found the object in the ground about five feet below the surface. He dug it up and removed it to Helenwood where it created such excitement that he put it in a box and charged admission. IT is said that the sum of $25,000.00 has been offered for it. It is owned by Mr. J.C. Pemberton of Oneida, Tenn., now. The form is now reposing in a box with iron bands around it, four pad locks on the box, nails driven in the lid and a guard standing watch. A professor from an eastern university says it is some ancient idol of an early race. Anyway, whatever it is, the owners bid fair to get rich. Election Officers. The State Board of Election Commissioners have appointed A.J. Crawford, Democrat, and G.E. Jasper, Republican, election commissioners for Pulaski County. Auto Accident. A Ford car in which Floyd Kidd and William McDaniel were riding collided with a car driven by Dr. E.R. Alexander at the intersection of Main and Monticello streets Monday night. Kidd and McDaniel were both badly injured, but Dr. Alexander escaped without a scratch. Kidd's collar bone was broken and he was otherwise bruised and McDaniel was badly cut. They were taken to Somerset Sanitarium for treatment. Mr. Kidd was able to leave the hospital Thursday. To Lexington. Captain J.J. Bethurum who has been visiting his parents, Judge and Mrs. B.J. Bethurum, left Monday to report for duty at the Univ. of Kentucky. Captain Bethurum will be instructor in military science at this institution for the next four years. He was accompanied to Lexington by Judge Bethurum who has had a flattering offer to locate in that city for the practice of law. Eliminate Crossing. An effort is being made to get the railroad company to tunnel under the tracks at Columbia Crossing and eliminate the danger of that place. Mr. W.B. Morrow has returned from Frankfort where he has been in conference with members of the railroad commission and a representative of the railroad company. Mr. Morrow believes that the railroad company will make the improvement. The cost will be about $7,000. Get Ready. When the six miles of road is completed between Somerset and Stanford this city will be the mecca for tourists from all sections of the state. There is no prettier drive anywhere than the forty miles between Somerset and Stanford. Our people want to get ready to entertain many tourists each year. The first and most important thing is a modern hotel. This we hope to have by next year. If you have not subscribed to the fund do so at once. Reward of $50.00 Offered For Arrest and Conviction of Game Law Violators. Dr. Robert G. Richardson and others, who are interested in seeing the game and fish laws observed, have offered a reward of $50.00 for the arrest and conviction of anyone found violating these laws. In the past few years there has been considerable dynamiting of streams and also a good deal of seining and gigging. This is strictly against the law. An effort will be made this year to break this up and punish the guilty. A car load of fish was empted into Pitman and other streams in the county this week by the State Fish and Game Commission. Most of them were bass. It is the duty of anyone knowing of violations to report them to officers. It is only in this way that the guilty can be punished. At The Court House. J.A.

The Stanford Interior Journal says: "While attending the Somerset Fair, Miss Bessie Mae Smith, the attractive daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Zora Smith, of the McKinney section, and Lee Phelps, of Somerset, eloped to Helenwood, Tenn., and were married. The young lady had worked in the telephone exchange at Hustonville two years or more and had made many friends who are wishing her all kinds of happiness.
