A FAMILY OF MURDERERS
THE TERROR OF LANCASTER, KY.

The Long Record Of Grove Kennedy's Shooting
Scrapes-Mearly a Score OF Tragedies for which
He Is RespOnslbIe-0thers Of his Kinsmen who
Have Done MurderOus Work.
From the Cincinnati Commerciall
LANCASTER, KY, December 2S.-As the
trial of GROVE G. Kennedy for the
murder of his uncle, Colodel Ebert
D. Kennedy, is engrossing the at
tention of the people of Kentucky, it
would not be out of place to give his
tory of his many bloody deeds, and also
those of his family, For fully fifty years
the Kennedys have been the terror of
this and the adjoining counties. The
Kennedy family is an old one in Garrard
county. There are three branches whose
ancestry is somewhat difficult to trace
Grove and his brothers are believed to
have been descended from old General
Kennedy, a militia officer. Eb. Kenne-
dy was the son of an Irishman named
Andy Kennedy, but by intermarriages
became closely related to the others
There was another family of Kennedys
in Garrard whose head was Little Dave
Kennedy" whose origin, so far as learn
ed, is, like that Of his celestial majesty,
lost in antiquity.
The first bloody incident in the career
of the Kennedys occurred at Crab Orch.
ard. Old Peter Kennedy, the father of
John Henderson Kennedy, Grove Ken
nedy, and William Kennedy, had a
brother James, who not unfrequently
undertook to take. the town of Crab
Orchard. The officers were afraid of
him. One of the police, William R. Tay-
lor, determined, however, that when
James next made a disturbance in the
town he would make the arrest if it cost
him his life. He was not long waiting
for an opportunity. James got on one of
his sprees, and Taylor went into the sa-
loon to make the arrest. Being resisted,
he drew his knife and called on James to
surrender Just then Peter Kennedy
came in and told the Marshal to give
him his knife and he would answer for
his brothers. surrender. Taylor foolishly
did as he was requested, and immediate
ly Peter proceeded to carve the police
man, The man did not die, but after
wards became Marshal of Danville.
Having introduced Peter, it may be
we'll TO introduce Grove Kennedy.
The first intimation he gave of his war
like tendency was when he was mere
youth. When in the Office of the pres.
ent Lancaster Hotel he shot at an old
man from the mountains. The bully
took off his collar button without doing
any other damage. The old fellow was
described as powerful mad but as Grove
had taken to his heels, his anger had to
go uDappeased.
In 1862 Grove and Andrew Hurt were
in game of cards at Paint Lick. They
got into an alteration, and Grove set
tied the dispute by killing his antagonist.
He was indicted, but not tried.
In 1866 Groves younger brother, Will
liam, was wounded by the Marshal of

TWO LITTLEPAL OF BOOTS,

Twollttle pairs ofboots, to night,
Before the fire are drying;
Two little pairs of tired feet
In trundle-bed are lying.
The tracks, they left upon the floor,
Make me feel much like signing
Those little boots with copper toes
They run the live long day;
And oftentimes almost wish
That they were miles away;
So tired am to hear 80 oft
Their heavy tramp at play.
They walk about the new-plowed ground,
Where mud in plenty lies
tits rolled up in marbles round,
And baked IN little piesi
At night upon the nursery floor
In every shape 1t dries
To-day was disposed to scold
But, when look, tonight,
At those little boots by the fire,
With copper toes so bright,
think how sad my heart would be,
To put them out of sight,
For, in trunk up stairs I've laid
Two socks Of white and blue;
If called to put those boots away.
0 God what should do?
mourn that there are not, tonight,
Three pairs instead OftWo.
Imourn because thought how nice
My neighbor cross the way
Could keep her carpets all the years
From getting worn or gray;
Yet we'll know she'd smile to own
Some little boots to-day
We mothers weary get and worn,
Over our load of care
But how we speak of those little ones
Let each of lib beware,
For what would our fresldes be tonight
Ifno little boots were there?

Petit Larceny.

A young man from Henry county. by
the name Of Jas. Milroy, came to the city
to-day to purchase his winter stock Of
clothing. Before making his purchases,
however, he saw friend or two and talked
of times past over several glasses of Rock
Island whiskey, becoming very sociRble.
In this condition he went into Simon q
Mosenfeldter's store, under the Rock ISL
and House, and; examined some shirts,
getting prices on the same 1875 and
Offering a sum considerable less than the
price asked. After remaining there some
time he passed out, without buying, and
went into the shoe store few doors west.
Presently Mr.. Simon discovered that @
shirt was missing from his stock and went
in search of the fellow who had been look
ing at them, finding him in the shoe store
with the missing shirt under his overcoat
Mr., Simon took the shirt and accused Mil
roy of stealing it, which he denied, claim
ing to have paid for it, and took out hi
money saying he would pay for it again
The clothing dealer refused to accept thu
money and caused Milroy's arrest, HI
had hearing before Justice Halves anC
was bound over to the circuit court in the
sum of 5000, failing to furnish which h

Well-Toned Systems.

Systems toned and renovated with Hos

ally defended from disease. That sup
RENE invigorant soon overcomes that dis
tressing feebleness consequent upon all
ments which Impoverish the blood and
relax the muscles. Vigor. appetite. sleep
return to the wasted frame, and every
physical faculty gains greater activity
through its benign influence. Nor is this
all, for the Bitters have most genial
and cheering effect upon the mind of the
Respondent invalid, which is the natural
effect of the increased bodily vitality which
they produce. Nervous sysptoms disap-
pear in consequence of the use of this
medicine, and the evil consequences sure
to result from a premature decay Of
the physical energies are averted.
Dyspepsia, liver complaints, rheumatic
ailments, urinary and uterine IRREGULAR
ties, malariaf diseases, and many other
disordered conditions of the system, are
remedied by theBitters.
