FRANxroET, KY, Dec. !. 1878.
The only account received here of any disturbance
in Breathitt county through the correspondent
of Mount Sterling paper. 1t is regarded in the
main sens ational, though its statement
that two men were killed is generally credited.
A personal difficulty existed between the
newly elected County Judge. named Burnett, aud
man named Strong. who was his opponent in the
race. Burnett is reported killed called upon Gov
ernor McCreary this evening, and he tells that no
official information of the disturbance had reached
him. but the basis Of the letter in the Mount Ster
ing paper he has addressed o letter To william L.
Randall. the Circuit Judge of that district, whose
court closes according law at Jackson. the county
seat of Bresthitt. this week. and who is probably
now at Manchester, Clay county, where his term be-
gins to-mcrrcw
GOVERNOR INVESTIGATES
In his letter he asked for statement of the facts
concerning the difficulty in Breathitt county. and
directing him il the trouble such as indicated to
nold special term Of his court in Breahtt as soon
as possible in order that all persons who unawfuly
participated in the difficulty be arrested tried and
punished. and assuring him TINT he would DC fur
nishcd all the militia aid necessary to enable
him to enforce the law and maintain the
peace. The county seat Of Breathitt is in the
mountains, iftytwo miles from any railroad station
or telegraph Office. and at this the roads are
in bad condition. These troubles not common in
this section OF the State. and when they do occur
grow ont of personal, and not political feuds.
The statement that Judge Randall had fed the fury
Qs the mob is not credited. His court had probably
closed it's business when he left Jackson otherwise
he would have communicated with the Governor ere
this, he has had ample time to do since Wednesday,
the date Of the Mount Sterling letter.
