Have you noticed the jrenuine ;t
airs that the Murray State Bank has
donned durinir the past week, electric
ikhes ar.d fans. Cashier Poedeiu r
was one of the hard workers for a
liirht jilant in Murray last spring, antl
up to the present time failin.tr in that
proposition, he has decided not to be
outdone from the standpoint of his
own comfort and that of his patrons,
and this week ran the line of wire
from the Puis fc-urajre to the bank and
installed both liht and fans. They
are indeed a frreat comfort and pleas
ure, and Murray should have the
same privileges over the entire town,
and would if a few of the citizens will
only "come across," as the saying c.k-s.

MEETS WITH

I00S ACCIDENT
Last evening Warren Kh:er, the son
of Mr. and Mrs. D. F. Riser, residing
south of this city, met with a very
herious accident at the farm of his
biother-in-law, Troy Wiles, in Mount
rieasnnt precinct. The young man
had been helping with the threshing
and was riding from the field on one
cf the horses when in some .manner
unknown he fell from the horse and
his left foot caught in the harness
and the horse dragged him quite a
distance along the road before his
foot was released from the harness
and the young man was thrown to
one side of the road, lying there until
sometime later when another of the
men on the farm came across him
and summoned help to remove, him to
the house. Dr. G. H. Gilmore was
called from Murray and examined the
iyoun man findinjr that the back of
his head as well as h i i shoulders had
been severely bruised as well as cut

The
Foes Battle All .Night in Fierce
Struggle for These
Positions.
London, July 1!. The Germans
dented the British line last night in
their most successful counter-attack
since the great allied offensive began.
The recapture of the village of Lon
gueval, at the intersection of two
highways seven miles south of Bapa-
ume. and of Delville wood, was
claimed in an official statement issu
ed by the German war office this
afternoon .
An official report from General
Haig admitted the Germans had ob
tained a footing in the northern out
skirts of Longueval and had recap
tured part of Delville wood.
The Germans attacked in large
force after dusk last night, deliver
ing their most powerful blows against
Longueval village, which occupies an
important strategic position at the
intersection of two highways.
The battle continued throughout the
night with the greatest violence. The
Germans brought up fresh troops and
attacked repeatedly. xne urnrsn
counter-attacked successfully at sev
eral points.
Fighting Continues.
General Haig reported that the
struggle for the positions continues
with great violence.

When the convention adjourned to

j llanly followers succeeded at the

tomorrow.
The Indiana delegation at a closed
session agreed upon a proposal for
Sumner W. Haynes to place in nom
ination th' name of Mr. Hanly.
A public mass meeting was hold
tonight.
With Mr. Patton in the chair the
Hanly program met few obstacles at
the afternooij .session. Some delegates
charged Patton with steam rolling
I methods, declaring that he faded to
recognize several delegates who
sought to speak against certain mo-tion-i!
But. he had the great majority
of the delegates with him and there
was no effort to change any of his
rulings by an appeal to the conven
