Thin Evening.
John Mclirlde, one of the best
known mon In big city politics and
called tho "big boss" by mon who are
uohlud tho throno of tho big six, was
uccusod of muriiur by Allan Graves,
proprietor of tho notorious Cubist cab
aret yesterday.
Police officials who ntlompted to lay
hands on Mclirlde yeslorday wrro un
able to lociito him. HIh olllces were
deserted and only a watchman wbb
found on tho nreinlsi's who stntod that
Mr. Mclirlde hod gone out of town
The facts of the case as gleaned by re
porters were that Mclirlde und Graves
became encnged In n heated argument
Involving tho nanio of a woman bup
posed to bo Lucy Trovor the popular
cabaret entertainer nt tho Cubist
Whether or not this was true could
not bo ascertained, but tho earlier
facts In the case point strongly to this
us tho cause of the 'tragedy. It bpoiiib
as though a waiter In tho Cubist In
tho employ of Graves has for some
time been openly selling dope and
rfrnira to addicts. Although never
caught In th act, his nir of cautious
ness mado him the center of suspicion
by tho local authorities. It had been
nolncd about for sovernl weeks past
that both Mclirlde and Graves wero In
love with the Trevor woman, and that
tho men had become engaged In alter
cations shortly before tho death of the
waiter.
Attompts to linrn tho whereabouts
of Mrnrldo failed yesterday. These
aro a few of the fads of which you

Slaying Clarence Gardner and
Sentences Him to Pen.

lato Wednesday found William Hel-
phenstine, prominent Fleming county
merchant, guilty of slaying of Clar
ence Gardner, well known farmer of
tho Hillsboro neighborhood, and fixed
his punishment at confinement In the
state penitentiary "t Frankfort, for a
period of eight years.
It developed In the evidence of the
case- that Helnheristine slew Gardner
In sudden heat and passion during an
argument over the settlement of an
count at the Helplienstlne store and
more directly over the punishment of
Gardner's son by the father in the
store. The lad had purchased fifty five
cents worth of tobacco at the store
which he had ordered charged to his
father. In the settlement Gardner dis
puted the fifty-five cents and when

the father punished the child and the
merchant remonstrated with him for
his severe punishment of the lad
which started the argument which
pnded fatally.
Both Helphenctlne and Gardner
were men of splendid reputations and
were good citizens. The affair was
nost lamentable.

London, Oct 19. The Unionist cau
cus, mooting today, voted 186 to 87 In
