Born Dayton, OH. Falmouth Outlook Friday 12 May 1922 Vol. 15 No. 49 Pg. 1 Col. 6 DID NOT EXPLAIN Last week we published an article proving withut a doubt that St. Andrews Lodge No. 18 F. & A. M., of Cynthiana was chartered in Falmouth some time during the early part of the nineteenth century. This record shows the lodge was in working order in Falmouth in 1814. The Cynthiana Democrat copies our artilce and has the following to say, but this explanation does not satisfy us, and we will dig up the history of St. Andrews Lodge and try to throw a little more light on the subject. The Democrat says: "Members of St. Andrews Lodge No. 18 F. & A. M. inform the Democrat that the records show the lodge was granted a charter at Cynthiana in August 1810, four years previous to the date of action at Falmouth as set forth in The Outlook's article. They are at a loss to understand how any such proposition in the name of St. Andrews Lodge could have been make. The centenary of the Lodge was celebrated at Cynthiana in August 1910. Nothing in any of the reocrds throw light on the Falmouth proposition." Falmouth Outlook Friday 12 May 1922 Vol. 15 No. 49 Pg. 3 Col. 5 BLOODY FIGHT Elsie Tinney, Ambrose Roberts and Jesse Cummins Badly Used Up. Elzie Tinney, 40, Ambrose Robets, 22, and Jesse Cummins were in a fight in Cummins' yard at Kelat, Tuesday night, that left Cummins badyly used up and the ohter two bruised and bloody. Sheriff Ingles was called by thelephne about nine o'clock, and with his duputies reached Kelat in half an hour. They went to the homes of Tinney and Roberts, whom they found in bed, and brought them to Cynthiana. Cummins came along also. He swofe to warrants for assault and battery against Tinney and Roberts, and also to a warrant charging them with o perating a still. The men were released under $250 bond each to appear in Judge Lail's court Saturday. The fight was very bloody. Cummins had a long gash in his scalp, a deep gash in the cheek and wass otherwise bruised an dbeaten. He said the two men attacked him. He used an ax in defense, and Tinney and Roberts were condiderably bruised and cut about the head and face. The clothing of the men was almost torn from their bodies. The trouble is said to have arisen over reports about a moonshine still, which, it is alleged, Tinney and Roberts accused Cummins of spreading. They told the sheriff they went to Cummins' home "for an explanation," and the fight followed. The men were separtated by Rev. W. B. Garriott and Addison Wheeler, who live nearby. Tinney and Robets are farmers. Cummins works for J. C. Petty, the Kelat merchant. The sheriff and his deputies returned to the homes of Tinney and Roberts about 11:30 o'clock Tuesday night and made a search for stills, but found none.
