RICHMOND, KY.
Dr. G. W. Evans Dead
This community was startled
last Thursday evening to learn
that Dr. G. W. Evans had sud
denly died from heart failure. Dr.
Evans had not been in good
health for some years, but it was
not suspected that he was in any
immediate danger. He and some
friends had been in the habit of
gathering at the Masonic Club
rooms for an afternoon social in
tercourse. Last Thursday his
friends collected as usual,; but the
doctor did not appear and one of
them went for him. He came
with him to the club room and a
very pleasant social hour was in
progress. It was noticed that
Doctor Evans leanecl forward as
if to cough, then sank slowly 16 :
the table and died in a few
seconds.
Dr. Evans was 70 years of age.
He was a native of Clark county,
but came to Madison county in
his early life and was married to
Miss Nannie Chenault, of this
city. To this union there were
born six children, G. W. Evans,
Jr., L. P. Evans, Joseph Evans,
Overton Evans, William Evans,
and Miss Mary, now Mrs. T. H.
Pickels, all of whom survive him.
He was a prominent physician
and enjoyed a very extensive
practice for many years. In his
early life he was a surgeon in the
L United States army, which posi
tion he filled with crediL In the
latter years of his life he was en
gaged in the real estate business
and was successful. He has done
much for the betterment and ex
tension of this city. He was a
member q the Baptist church of
this city, and always took an ac
tive part in church work.
After the death of his first wife
Dr. Evans married Miss Mary
Spencer Smith, of this city; who
survives him.
The funeral was conducted at
the home on Saturday afternoon
at three o'clock by Rev. C. C.
Marshall of the Baptist Church
assisted by Rev. C. K. Marshall,
thence his burial in the Rich
mond Cemetery. The music was
unusually beautiful and the flow
ers and their profusion attested
the popularity and esteem in
which he was held.

raent Bill
"A bill divesting intoxicating
liquors of . their inter-state char
acter in certain cases.
"Be it enacted, that the ship
ment? or transportation in. any
manner or by any means what
soever of any spirituous, vinous,
malted, fermented or other in
toxicating liquor of any kind
from one State, Territory or dis
trict of the United States or

ject to the jurisdiction thereof
into any other State, Territory or

age or otherwise in violation of
any law of such State, Territory,
or district of the United States or
place non-contiguous to but sub
ject to the jurisdiction thereof, is
hereby prohibited."
President Taft vetoed the bill
Friday, February 28, 1913. In
doing so he gave in his reasons
that he thought the bill was un
constitutional. An additional
reason for giving it the axe. was
that it would cut down the rev
enues $77,000,000 per annum,
and that Congress had not pro
vided any revenue to take its
place.
In less than two hours after
the bill was vetoed, the Senate
passed it over the veto by the
vote of 63 to 21. Bradley and
Paynter voted to sustain the
veto.
Saturday in the house the bill
was passed over the veto by the
overwhelming vote of 244 to 95.
The Kentucky delegation divided
as follows, to-wit: Johnson,
Helm, Thomas, Fields, Demo
crats; Langley and Powers, Re
publicans, voting for the bill.
James, Stanley, Sherley, Rouse
and CantrilL voted against the
bill.
The bjll is now a law and for
the first time in its history the
State can effectually enforce the
local option laws.

Judge 'Redwine Dead
D. B. Redwine, Judge of the
23rd Judicial district, is dead at
Hot Springs, Arkansas, where he
had gone in the vain endeavor to
regain his health. Judge Redwine
was three times judge of the dis
trict, having been elected to the
office in 1892, 1898 and again was
elected in 1909. He had been in
failing health for many years and
was not able to hold the courts
most of the time during his last
term of office.
He married a Miss Hurst, a
daughter of Hon. William Hurst,
of Campton, by whom he has two
children, all of whom survive him.
Mr. Hugh Riddell is an appli
cant for the office made vacant by
Judge Redwine's death, and also
O. P. Pollard of Breathitt county.
Each gentleman claims to have
the office cinched.
It would appear that Mr. Rid
dell's chances are the best, for it
will be remembered that when
his father died before the expira
tion of his term of office, that
Gov. A. E. Willson appointed as
his successor, Judge J. P. Adams,
a Republican. As Judge Riddell
was elected for a full term which
he did not get to fill out, and as
it is customary to appoint a mem
ber of the family when it can be
done, it would appear that Mr.
Hugh Riddell is in a position to
get the ofijce. And we hope that
he may land the plum.
LATER Friday night Gov.
McCreary settled the matter by
