CARS CLASH ON BIG HILL PIKE
Two automobiles clashed into euch
other on Saturday afternoon, on the
Big Hill pike, near the home of John
Gibson. One of the cars was driven
I y a colored man, whose nar e we
have not learned, the other by Wm.
Hawkins, of Speedwell. Mr. Hawk
ins had his family with him, ard the
report says that there were several
injuries sustained. TTis son was
thrown out of the car thru the wind
shield, receiving several cut. about
the head. Mrs. Hawkins is also in
jured, tho it is thought not seriously.
The negro was also injured. Both
cars were badly damaged.
A FIRST CLASS TOMATO
We do not propose to equal, in
size or numbers, the tomato record
established by Mrs. Ballard Million
last Wednesday when she brought a
peck measure to Pichmopd filled with
nine) tomatoes, which she aord at ten
rents each, but Bob Spenre, of Berea,
County Agent of Southern Madij"r
ard Rockcastle wt unties, ia not tv be
sneered at when it cornea to raising
big tomatoes. He took one from his
garden Tuesday morning, August 30,
which amply satisfied the appetites
of four healthy people at the dinner
table, every one of which is fond of
tomatoes. It is claimed that there
was sufficient tomato left from din
ner to supply two mid-afternoon
lunches and give Bob a fairly good
sized piece to take with him on a dem
onstrating trip in the county the next
day.
LOOTERS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
LEGION PICNIC AT
BOONESRORO
While the inhabitants of three resi-dence-s
at Red House were enjoying
the American Legion picnic at Bones
boro last Thursday, ' robbers were
plundering their homes. They enter
ed both the ntore and residence of
K. E. Davis, taking $8 from his house
and a pistol and some other things
from hia store. They took a suit of
clothes from, the residence of Jay
Ijintt-r. And last, but not least, in
value at any rate, a quart of whis
ky from the home of H. P. Dykes.
Mr. Dykes also suffered the loss of
several other less valuable articles.
They took $10 in rash from the
home of Tom BiggerstafT. The burg
lars escaped.
POLICE COURT OFFICERS ON
THE JOB AT RICHMOND
According to the Richmond Regis
ter, Police Judge G. Murray Smith,
Chief of Police Claud Devore and hia
staff of patrolmen are "on the job."1
They are showing no favor in their
method of handling violators of the
law. Every session ia crowded with
spectators and interest runs high.
One man who had been held in
jail, charged with whipping hia wife,
waa pushed to the point of telling
where he got the whisky that induced
him to do the whipping. Hia rev
elation led to a white wuman in the
east end of town. In spite of her
vigorous denials of the charge, ahe
was placed under a heavy bond.
Several fines were imposed for other
violations, such as fighting, using
abusive language, and speeding.
TWO ALLEGED MOONSHINERS
PLACED UNDER
BOND
The three men, Brack and Sam
Pigg and James Fowler, who were ar
rested in a still raid led by Deputy
KENTUCKY, SEPTEMBER I, 1921
Sheriff W. A. Johnson, near Big Hill,
last week, were arraigned before
Commissioner Warfield Bennett, in
Richmond. Brack Pigg was turned
loose. The other two were placed un
der bond, Pigg $500 and Fowler $100
Pi(fT and Fowler were then taken be
fore county judge, where they waived
examining trial and were held at
$200 each.
Deputy Sheriff Johnson says that
thia still was undoubtedly the largest
ona ever raided in thia county. The
two vats, he claims, would hold five
barrels of mash. There were 17
barrels on the ground, tho some of
them were only partly filled. The
still was about one-half mile east of
Big Hill postoffice, almost in sight of
tho road.
BIG MOONSHINE STILL
DESTROYED NEAR BEREA
' Arrests Expected to Follow
Berra, Ky., Aug. 30. One of the
lav rnoensmno soilU.oC.tke kottie
typo that has been found in this
territory was destroyed on what is
known as the St. John hollow of the
head waters of Big Clear Creek, near
the vicinity of where the Madison,
Rockcastle and Jackson counties join.
The report says that the kettles had
a capacity of 75 gallons. About
three hundred gallons of sweet beer
was in process of fermentation with
some of it rendy to be stilled into
liquor.
The approach of the officers to the
vicinity thru a clearing near the still
was discovered hy a look-out and a
shot gun was fired from a house in
the vicinity as a signal for the
shiners to clear out, which was evi
dently a successful part played by
the out-look that time.
About thirty feet of cast iron pip
ing was used to run the water supply
down the hill to the still. Not long
ago another still of a small rapacity
was destroyed in the same woods.
No arrests were made at the time
of the raid, but the parties are
known and their arrest ia expected
to take place within a short time.
Government agents constituted the
raiding party.
BEREA MARSHAL CATCHES
HOLINESS PREACHER
Monday, about 3 p. m., the phone
at police headquarters rang. On
answering the same, some one said,
' I,ook out for a dark romptexionud
man of medium build, wearing a
plug hat. He's wanted for house
btealing." About thirty minutes
later the Chief of Police G. G. Hib
bard was searching a man of that
description. On the way to jail the
captured man informed hia captor j
that he waa a holiness preacher.
When they arrived at the jail Mr.
Hibhard remarked to his captive,
"It's rather embarrsssing to lock a
preacher up." Whereupon the pris
oner exclaimed, "This is not the first
time to be in jail, praise the Lord."
Upon searching the personal goods
and chattels of the man, Mr. Hib-
bard found a marriage license issued
from the county clerk's office of Jack
son county to the captive, George
Mullina, and Mary Maupin. Mullins
said Mary had decided to wait two
months longer, and then they intend
ed to get married. Mullins has a
wife, who is separated from him, and
four children in Hamilton, O.
Deputy Sheriff Jesse Baker came,
Auguat 30th, and Mullina was turned
over by police to him, who took Mul
lins to McKee for trial.

The republic of Panama has been
obliged to submit to the occupation
by Costa Rico of disputed territory,
which the United States as an arbiter
decided rightfully belonged to the
latter country. In expressing her
disapproval, however, the little repub
lic has declared a period of national
mourning for twelve months. The
attitude of the United States in thia
matter is important, as it shows a
disposition to allow no trifling with
decisions carefully made. The Uni
ted Statea would have preferred the
territory go to Panama had the facta
warranted such a verdict. There is
; no reason to think that Panama's
j mourning will arouse much sympathy
in other Latin-American countries.
The signing of the German treaty
with the United States waa the oc
casion of an effort on the part of
Ik. mr.rnh.hi'i.. n . , U -
to overthrow the Ebert government.
The Prussian general, Ludendorf,
spoke in the stadium in Berlin to a
large crowd. A counter movement
was started by the radical element
in Germany, and the existing govern
inert finds itself obliged td exercise
care to prevent a division in Ger
many between two extreme parties,
which would be detrimental to a sane
and moderate government, already
committed to the work of reconstruc
tion. The assassination of Erzber
ger, a former member of the cabinet,
aggravated th situation.
Mexico will celebrate the one hun
dredth anniversary of her indepen
dence from Spain the coming month.
The festivities will last about two
weeks, and a notable feature will bo
the opening of a new public school
each day while the celebration lasts.
While the United States is slow in
recognizing the Mexican government,
business interests are not so slow in
realizing the return of settled condi
tions. The president of the Baldwin
Locomotive Works has just sold
$2,500,000 worth of locomotives to
equip the railroads of Mexico and
has extended credit to the buyers in
place of cash payment. He visited
Mexico before the' transaction and
was impressed by the orderly condi
tions and the great revival of busi
ness. The former President of Korea ia
in the United States and intends to
get a place in the disarmament con
ference if possible. The pressure is
becoming great to widen the scope
of the conference at Washington, and
include other international questions
beside disarmament. France also
seems to be using her influence in
the same direction. The United
States is partly responsible for this,
as she insisted on the discussion of
problems on the Pacific. There are
dangers in such a procedure, how
ever, that disarmament may be side
tracked entirely in spite of the fact
that it is the only hope for solving
Che financial situation of the world.
Viscount Bryce of England, in
recent addresa before the Institute
of Politics, now meeting at Wil
liamstown, Mass., expressed his abid
ing confidence in the League of Na
tions as the best and most effective
plan yet devised to settle difficult
international problems. He recount
ed the results already achieved by
the League and his belief in its fu
ture usefulness. Since the submis
sion to it of the Silesian boundary
problem we read little more about it.
Sweden grumbled for awhile at tho
award by which Finland waa given
the Aland Islands, but no disposi
tion was shown to resist the settle
ment. The English Cabinet la holding out
strongly against Ireland'a declaration
of the right io secede and her request
that the relation of north and south
Ireland be left to arbitration. The
publication of the Irish correspond
ence seems to have strengthened the
supiairt to Lloyd George and his
cabinet just at a time when he need
ed support, and it is believed that
his opponents who have been seeking
his downfall will be unable to bring
it about. English public opinion is
not ready for independence of Ire
land and ia showing a determination
to accept the challenge if it ia made.
The armistice, however, continuea in
force, and ao long as it does there is
hope of pearful settlement.
