Calling Demonstrations Prove Successful. $ f 4 -v He Sues A. J. St. Clair for $50,- 000, Damages Claimed for False Arrest. SUIT BROUGHT BY ST1TES & STITES. The following article was taken from last Thursday's Courier-Journal: . A suit for $50,000 on the ground of false arrest was filed yesterday against detective A. J. St. Gialr by Count T. Stults, 3019 Wentwarth Avenue, through his attorneys, Stites & Stites. The petition states that detective St. Clair on July 13 obtained possession of an anonymous letter to the Louis villa Chief of Police stating that four automobiles ot Columbia, Ky., which had been bought from Mr. Stults and others, were stolen cars, and that the detective without detemining the truth of this caused the arrest of Mr Stults on a grand larency charge. In the Police Court, the petition continues,, the prosecution was dis missed on motion of the Prosecuting Attorney and St. Clair, "who in the meantime easily had learned not only that Mr. Stults .wholly was innocent of the charge and that there-was not the slightest evidence against him, but al so that it was utterly inconceivable that he would commit the crime of grand larency orjany other crime." Mr. Stults operates an automobile business in the city He is the sorrof Thomas R. Stults of Columbia. State LaborOLnSjpector, a meniber of the "1920'Huleof the Kentucky Legisla ture and for sixteen years Adair Coun ty Clerk. The letter not only was unsigned, the petition says, but gave no inti mation as to who wrote it or where it was written. Upon receipt of-this.Mt continued, detective St. Clair "prpl ceeded to have himself driven to5 lutnbia using a car belonging to the plfy'ot Louisville and" driven by a chauffer in the employ of the city." "It charges that St. Clair did not inquire as to the truth of the charges in jthe letter and that be telephoned back to the Louisville police to lock C. T. Stults up-for grand larency." The time has come that those past due accounts most be settled somehow. Don't wait for me to call on yoa in person, bat yoa come at once and pay me what yoa owe me. W-1. Ingram. Last Tr ursday morning, about 1:30 o'clock, the subject of this writing breathed her last, after a long illness, In the 63rd year of her age. She had been on the decline about a year, but was confined to her bed only a short time. Saturday before her death she met with a stroke of apoplexy, which caused a leakage of the brain, and this leakage perhaps kept her alive several days. The end came at the home of her stepdaughter, Mrs. Helen Cran dell. She was a. daughter of Capt. and Mrs. W T. Jackman, and was born and partly reared near Creelsboro. in Russell county. When quite small, her parents removed to Liberty, Casey county, and later they removed to Columbia where the diseased spent the major portion of her life. When quite a young woman she made a pro fession of her faith in her Savior, united with the Methodist Church,' and lived consistently until God call6d her to a better world. About thirty years or more ago she was married to Mr. John Eubank, of this place. To this union two daughters were born, Mrs. Leo C. Wright and Mrs. Leonard Hardesty, both of whom live in Louis ville, but were with her in her last days. There are also two grand chil dren, little sons of Mrs. Wright. She also leaves one sister, Mrs. O. C. Kim bler, of Sewellton Russell county, and two brothers, one living in Florida the other in Oklahoma. The deceased was strictly a home lady, making only a few visits out of Columbia in recent years, and they were to see her closest relations. She was very devoted to her two daughters and her grandchildren and wanted to live on their account. The funeral and burial took place Thursday afternoon, many friends be ing -present to pay due respect to one who had long been a resident of this place. The sermon was preached at the Methodist church at 3:30 by Rev. J. L Murrell. The sympathy of this town goes out to the surviving family. May God comfort them in, their sorrow, none like consigning to the tomb, the moth er who shared their sorrows and re joiced in their happiness. The floral offerings were beautiful. The Light Plant, Ice Plant and Ice Cream Plant Bums at Campbellsville. THE TOWN LEFT IN DARKNESS. Our sympathy goes out to the own ers and the residents of Campbells ville; a destructive fire having visited the place last Wednesday morning about 10 o'clock, destroying the light plant, Ice and Ice Cream Plant. It is not known how the fire started, but it burned so rapidly it was impossible to extinguish it. The loss is consider able, and for some time Campbells ville will be in darkness. The ice plant furnished this town and alLthe adjoining towns, and if we continue to have ice through theNyarm weath er season it will have ,to be trucked through from Danville! - The two plants at Campbellsville will be re-established, but it will take some time to erect and get them in operation. The report of the Campbellsville fire, in this weeks News, was written as soon as the word of the fire reached this office. Later we are told that the ice plant was damaged but little, and it is now running. The Creamery was not damaged at all, and that the out look for starting up the light plant .is not father off than ten days. The Old .Home. There is something about Columbia and the people who make up its popu lation, that ties men and women to it. A family may remove to a distant State, and profit, so far as making Money is concerned, but the money, the faces, the trees and farms do not Jook like the surroundings at the old home town. It is here that their hap piest days were spent, and when one returns, after being absent for some time, it is the warm shake of the hand that tells the one who has been away from friends of earlier days, that he is welcome, and the hospitalities of the community are open to him, the doors are unlocked, walk in and be at home. -Such is the dispositions of not only the people of Columbia but the entire county of Adair. A man who has com pilled his thoughts, upon his riturn could truthfully say: ''Breathes there a man with soul so ' xdead, Who never lo" himself hath said, This is my own, my native land " Notice. For the convenience of the people of Columbia, who wish to attend the fair, we will deliver ice to any house in the city limits. Any amount over 15 lbs. Delivery hours from 7 to 9. , -J. Clyde Marshall. Have you forgotten that account you owe me? I need It. W. I. Ingram. Columbia Wins-. Last Friday afternoon the fastest andjmost hotly contested game of baseball played on the LindseyWilson Campus came off between 'Campbells ville and Columbia. The players on both sides were in fine shape, and in the first half it could not be predicted Aith any certainty which side would come out victorious. Columbia went to the campus determined, and when the contest closed she had recorded 5 scores and Campbellsville 3. The vis itors accepted their defeat manfully, ancT the crowd dispersed. Batteries, Campbellsville, Wilson and Morrison. Columbia, Shreve and Lewis. See Anderson's Wild West Shows at the Fair Grounds. Booty Light. A thief entered the front room of the Buchanan Lyon Co , last Friday morning, about 1 o'clock, and robbed the cash drawer of SI 35 in small change. It is also believed that he got a few inner tubes He entered the building through a back window it seems that the shadow of the thief was seen by some one passing, and Mr, O. C. Hamilton and Mr. F. A Rosenbaum, who are employed in the house, were called. They came from their residences and they made a thorough examination, aqd the above losses were all they could discover. Improvements. During the fall months there will be more work done in Columbia than in any three months for many years. There will not be less than twenty mechanics employed on the new tobac co house, a large number on the Bank of Columbia, and ten or twelve on the Jeffrie's building. Besides a number of cottages will be erected, and the gymnasium at the Lindsey-Wilson now in progress. There is certainly going to be some busy months In Co lumbia. Enterprise is all that-Js needed to make this town one of the busiest points in Kentucky. The culling demonstrations held in the county by Mr. H. R. Jackson, pouultry specialist of the College of Agriculture, Lexington, Ky., came to a close last Friday morning with a demonstration on the farm of Horace Murrell, near Heraline. There were a total of seven demonstrations of culling and three night meetings. The demonstrations were conducted in order published in last week's issue of our paper, namely: Alfred Murrell and Miss Ella Todd, on Tuesday, with a meeting at Zion that night; W. A. Garnett and Joe Conover, Wednesday, and a night meeting atr Ozark. On Thursday the flocks of Mr. Bassett Hurt, near Ozark, and Ed Eubank, at Cane Valley, were culled. The meeting Thursday night was held at Cane Valley. Pictures were shown two nights, but unfortunately a small piece of the machine broke Thursday, so no pictures were shown at Cane Valley. Mr Jackson made a splendid talk on poultry feeding, however. Mr. E J. Kilpatrick. of Lexington. wno arrived xnursaay noon, maue a short talk. "Feed the hens some thing besides corn'' advised Mr. Jack son. 'Corn is too fattening for egg production. A good grain ration for hens consists of equal parts corn, oats and wheat. In addition to this feed sour skim milk or butter milk." Mr. Jackson alsq gave instructions as to how to prevent white diarrhoea and 'roup, and also told how to cure limber neck, and get rid of lice. Many ques tions were asked concerning gape worms, which is quite a common trouble with chickens Prevention is better than a cure for gapes. Scratch up ground in old chicken yard and spread enough lime to whiten the ground or move chickens to a new range every year. There were a total of 355 birds in the flocks, 134 of which were culled. The total attendance at the demon strations was 300 or average of 44 per meeting. Two hundred seventy-six people attended the three night meet ings or an average attendance of ninety-two. "I am highly pleased with the at tendance at the meetings and the in terest shown" said Mr. Jackson, Fri day afternoon, on his return to Coium bia, after the demonstration at the farm of Mr. Murrell. "Adair county is one of the leading counties of the State in total poultry production; however the number of eggs produced per hen is somewhat lower than in other counties. Care ful culling of the flock every fall in connection with better breeding and feeding will raise the average consid erably..
