Three brothers of slain Mrs. Verna Garr Taylor
took Justice into their own hands at Shelby ville,
Ky., when they mortally wounded Brig. Gen. Henry
H. Denhardt on the eve of his second trial for the
murder of Mrs. Taylor, his fiancee, as he walked
down the main street of the town with his attorney,
Rodes Myers. The 61-year-old veteran of three
wars fell with seven bullets in his body and the
three brothers, Dr. E. S. Garr, Roy and Jack Garr,
immediately surrendered to police. A deadlocked
Jury ended the first trial of Denhardt, and he was
freed on $25,000 bond.

As a new series of stock opens in
the Home Building and Loan Asso
ciation tomorrow, S. H. Bushnell, secretary-treasurer,
was busy this week
mailing out checks for matured stock
and cash dividends to stockholders
who took out shares in the organiza
tion 6'2 years ago.
This year, to date, $40,652 has been
paid in by the stockholders, and they
in return have received a net profit
of $7,533, which simply means the
stockholders now own $48,185 in
stead of the $40,f52 they paid in.
Mr. Bushnell pointed out, that
years ago, a person taking out 20
shares, would have actually paid in
to the organization $1,690, and this
month would have received a check
for $2,000. During all this time, the
money paid in was not only saved,
but was tax free.
The savings that have matured, to
gether with the cash dividends thus
far this year amount to approximately
$53,000, Mr. Bushnell said.
The organization now has new se
ries to open every three months, and
the one opening tomorrow will be the
last one in 1937.
Grape Bird Still
Goes Vithout Name
Futile efforts have been made
to learn the name of the little
yellow, long-billed bird that is
causing much damage slitting
grapes. i
After the story appeared last I
week about the birds damaging
the grapes, several grape growers
have watched their vines and have
found the birds quite active.
Wayne Rogers, rural mail car
rier, brought in one of the birds
which he killed in his vine, but
bird books, and classifications
failed to reveal the kind or name
of the grape pest. 1
