Hairy Bowman Is Stabbed
To Death
Harry Bowman, the well known
merchaat and lumberman, who
was killed in an altercation with
Harrison Holt, was buried in the
Richmond Cemetery Friday after
noon. Bowman was stabbed
several times. It is said the dif
ficulty arose over Bowman's
sheep getting in to Holt's field.
. Bowman was one of the wealth
iest men in that section of the
mountains, owning many hun
dred acres of land from Living
ston up the Rockcastle river on
both sides. He was one of the
big stockholders in the proposed
railroad which will be built from
East Bernstadt on the L. & N.
into Jackson county, terminating
at McKee, the county seat Mr.
Bowman was well known in
Richmond. The killing took
place at Cruise's Ferry, about
twelve miles from Livingston.
Bowman was a native of Estill
County, a son .of Dr. Bowman
who lived for many years on
Millers Creek. He was unmarried.
His mother and several brothers
and sisters survive him.

A Prophecy
Judging from indications the
Leader makes the following
prophecy: That Collector W. W.
Wiseman will remain in office an
other year; that Senator Bradley
will not oppose the confirmation
of any of Senator James hungry
friends; that the revenue force
(all of them that are so inclined)
will be used by Collector Wise
man in the same way as in the
Taft-Roosevelt campaign; that
Congressman Harvey Helm will
not be sorry if the collector is
not appointed until after the 1914
primary; that the Bradley-James
combination and the collectors
will all be against Beckham for
senator; that it will be well for
the Wilson-Bryan democracy to
get the Progressives to join hands
with them in defeating the
combination. This may seem a
prophecy to some, but you mark
it down in your little book. We
would like to know what some of
your temperance Democratic
editors think of such a probability.

Painfully Hurt
Ben Prewitt, who formerly
lived here, was painfully hurt in
an automobile accident last week
while returning from Oil Springs.
He and two companions were
driving an automobile and going
at the rate of forty miles per hour
and for some reason failed to
make the turn of the road. The
automobile plowed into an en
bankment, demolishing the ma
chine and knocking the occupants
of the car unconscious. None of
them were fatally hurt Another
automobile which passed shortly
after the accident, picked up the
three boys and took them to Mt
Sterling, where they were given
proper medical attention.

Pardoned
Gov. McCreary pardoned Tho
mas b. Butler convicted in the
Fayette Circuit Court of complic
ity in burning the building on
State College grounds for which
crime one Webb was also tried
and acquitted. The general
feeling was that if Webb escaped
punishment that Butler should be
released.
What I Religion? ;
JBrother D. H. Scanlon, of the
Presbyterian Church, recently
preached an entertaining sermon
along the f ollowing lines:
"There is danger of making an
answer to this j question from a
partial view of the subject
"We view the ecclesiastical
millinery and judge religion in its
essence from its apparel.
"First, .Religion is not a creed;
we may assent to all the creeds
in Christendom and not have a
spark of genuine religion about
us. We may pronounce good all
of the 39 articles of the Episcopal
Church, and subscribe to all the
doctrines of the Baptist Church
and approve all the statements of
the Presbyterian confession of
faith, and yet be irreligious.
Secondly, Religion is not sim
ply a life of good works, though
important that is. A man may
lead prayer.meeting and teach a
Bible class and pay his honest
debts but have no heart of com
passion . for the less . fortunate
about him; he is a man without a
life, if he can not say 'write me
down as one who loves his fellow
man' if he never does anything
to make the world brighter and
sweeter and a better place in
which to live for others as well as
himself, he has a poor form of
religion and only a FORM.
"Thirdly, Religion is not sim
ply performing certain rites and
ceremonies. A man may repeat
our Lord's Prayer till the end of
time and yet never PRAY. He
may be a good church man' but
a poor christian. The best 'church
men' in Christ's day were the
Pharisees, as their religion con-
All Chairs In Lodge
Occupied By Hoppers
What is said to have been a re
cord in Masonry was established
here last Friday night . when
Joseph Hopper, Jr., had entered
apprentice degree conferred upon
him by Lincoln lodge No. 60 of
Stanford. On that occasion all
of the chairs of the lodge were
occupied by members of the Hop
per family, who did the work up
on the youngest member in
most impressive manner.
Walter O. Hopper, of Mt Ster
ling, a brother of the candidate
was Acting Master; George D.
Hopper, Sr., his father acted as
Senior Warden, Geo. D. HoDoer.
Jr., a brother, acted as Junior
Warden. A first cousin Dr. W.
O. HoDDer. of Perrvville. wa
Senior Deacon and John Hopper.
another first cousin, of Perryville.
was Junior Deacon. The aged
and beloved Rev. Joseph Hopper.
of Perryville, an uncle, acted as
Chaplain.
-It will easily be seen that the
Hopper family believe in the
principles of . Masonry. This
prominent family are all Masons
save one.
The, ceremonies Were simple
and impressive throughout and a
large attendance of the members
was had. Interior Journal.
