Owensboro, Ky. The Act of a Brute. Last Friday there was an occur rence in one of the mills of the Gaff ney Manufacturing Company which, for brutality and low-down beastli ness. surpassed anything that has ever occurred in this section. It was then that 1) Arthur McGee, a section hand in the card room, for some im agined or very slight infraction of some rule, struck Mies Katie Byars, a most worthy jyoung ladv, who l as been working in the mill for four years, with a hammer and inflicted a considerable wound over the eye and otherwise si verely bruised her face, i McGee left the mill at once and made | his escape, which, perhaps, saved ; him from a pretty rough handling. A warrant has been issued for Mc Gee and we know that strenuous efforts are being made to effect his arrest, which we tru*t will soon be accomplished, and it the law provides a fitting penalty for the crime of this brute that lie will get the full benefit of it. —Blue "Ribbon lemon and vanila extracts co: t a little more, hut their perfect purity and great strength make them the most economical to use. —Say "Blue Ribbon” when you order lemon and vanila extracts next time.
