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

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.

Chas. Winfrey In Tight Place But Comes Out OK. Narrow
Escape For Him,
Though. 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.

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.

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.
