Murder - Suicide.  Cole Coffey, Slayer of Oliver Slaven, Takes Own Life When
Surrounded at Stearns.  Cole Coffey shot and killed Oliver Slaven at Stearns
last Sunday afternoon about five o'clock, Slaven dying Sunday night.  From
information as near as the Journal was able to get, Slaven, who was deputy
sheriff, arrested Coffey Sunday morning for peddling whisky and took from him
eight quarts of the genuine article.  Somewhere near the coal chutes Coffey
made his escape.  Later in the afternoon while a ball game was in progress at
the ball park a man named West informed Slaven where Coffey was hiding in a
nearby house and when Slaven attempted to again place him under arrest,
Coffey fired five shots three taking effect.  Coffey was at large till Monday
morning when officers approached a house to arrest him when he fired a bullet
into his own head, dying instantly.  Coffey was a miner, employed by the
Stearns Coal & Lumber Company without family and was being held under $3,000
bond for complicity in the murder of George Staley two months ago.  Slaven
leaves a wife and several children.

Well Known Here.  James F. Brady, 33, who had been ill for about three months
at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Brady at Stanford, died last
Thursday evening.  He suffered from a complication of troubles but the
dreaded Bright's disease made death certain and sure.  Mr. Brady's home was
at Stanford where he was born and reared and where he had spent most of his
life with exception of the time he lived in Somerset where he was employed as
salesman in the shoe department of the Fair Store, having to give up his
position on account of illness.  He was a member of the Baptist Church, was
an exceedingly clever, affable gentleman and made friends wherever he went. 
Besides the wife, he leaves one son, 13 years of age, his father and mother
and several brothers and sisters.  Somerset friends extend to the bereaved
family their heartfelt sympathy in their sad experience and great loss.

181 Increase In Ten Years.  The population has increased 181 in Somerset in
the last ten years.  The census of 1910 gave Somerset 4491, while the report
from Washington of the census taken this year is 4672, an increase of 181 or
4 per cent in ten years.

With High Distinction.  Out of the approximately 1,400 students at the
University of Kentucky during the first semester of this year, 174 came
within what is known as the honor list.  These honors are indicated by the
legends "With High Distinction," "With Distinction," and "Honorable Mention,"
standing being established on what is known as the point system.  Among those
receiving the mark, "With High Distinction" from College of Arts and Sciences
were Neal Thurman, Junior; and Alberta Wilson, Senior, both of Somerset. 
This is quite an honor and credit to come to these most worthy Somerset
folks.

Closing Exercises of S.H.S.   This has been a very busy week for pupils and
teachers of the Somerset High School.  Sunday morning, Dr. W.E. Hunter
delivered the baccalaureate sermon to a packed house at the auditorium;
Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock was the grade reading at the High School in
which pupils are always interested, also the same day the Manual Arts exhibit
at the high school, and at 8 o'clock Monday evening came the Senior Play,
which was given to an appreciative audience; Tuesday afternoon was Class Day
program which was full of interest from start to finish; and Wednesday night
came the final exercise the Commencement program.  All the exercises were
well attended and everyone participating in any of them acquitted themselves
very creditably.  Miss Grace Gover was awarded the J.M. Richardson prize -
Mathematics - $10.00 in gold; Miss Elizabeth Inman was awarded the Charles
Dugan prize - Literary - $10.00 in gold; and Miss Olive Albertson was awarded
the T.E. Jasper prize - Domestic Arts - $10.00 in gold.  We congratulate the
class of 1920, of which there are 36 members, they deserve the honors they
have received from a just faculty, and merit the plaudits of a generous
public.  Citizens of Somerset have sacrificed much to build and maintain our
excellent schools, and parents have experienced self denial and sacrifice to
give their children this opportunity, and only lives of usefulness lived by
the graduates will justify and pay the cost.  From the graduates sent forth
each year from the Somerset High School, many of them have become leaders of
the business and professional world and some have become distinguished.  It
should not be lost sight of that Superintendent Brouse and the entire faculty
have performed a worthy work by standing by and making the school what it is
today.  Without competent leaders and able instructors such fine classes of
graduates as we have had pouring from these schools could not have been
possible.

Dies Following Operation.  Mrs. Mattie K. Dykes, 42, wife of Elijah Dykes,
near Ruth, Ky., died at the Somerset Hospital Monday following an operation. 
Mrs. Dykes is survived by her husband and several children and much sympathy
of the Ruth vicinity is especially extended to the little children who have
lost so much.

Madison Green McClure.  Mr. Madison Green McClure, age 88 years, died at his
home at Mintonville early Monday morning.  He was born November 18th, 1832,
at what is now Floyd's station, in Pulaski County, and died May 10th, 1920,
at Mintonville, Ky.  Deceased was married to Mahala Surber February 22nd,
1855, who with four sons and four daughters survive.  The sons are Virgil
McClure, Lexington, Ky., C.K. and Hoy McClure, of Somerset, and Oscar
McClure, Mintonville; the daughters Mrs. A.R. Tartar, Mintonville, Mrs. J.A.
Hammond and Mrs. J.H. Floyd, Hustonville, and Mrs. John Riggins, Columbia,
Ky.  There are also quite a number of grandchildren and great grandchildren
who survive.  Mr. Virgil McClure was in Somerset Monday morning when he
received the sad news of his father's death.  Much sympathy is extended to
the family in the loss of the wise counsel of a father and the companionship
of a husband.  Especially does the Journal wish to join in extending
sympathies to Messrs Virgil Hoy and C.K. McClure, who are so well known in
Somerset.  Funeral and burial at Mintonville Tuesday afternoon.

is in charge of the drive in Pulaski county.  Any one desiring to help in

out and take up special offerings for the army.  Many churches will take the
offering Sunday.  This is a most worthy cause and we hope our people will
donate liberally.
