ARREST or JOE RHEA.
Brought Hero and Lodged in
Jail Sunday.

In our last issue we gave an ac-
count of the killing Of Sam Knight
by Joe Rhea in Scates' Mill district,
few days ago. Rhea fled the neigh
borhood and remained at large until
Sunday, when he was arrested in
Hopkins county and brought here
and lodged in Jail. A representative
of the South KENTUcKIAN called at
the Jail yesterday morning to see
Rhea. lie is young fellow about
SO or q years old, with red or dark
auburn hair and moustache. Of
course he was not Intercepted as TO
the defense he would make. He said
there were only three witnesses to
the affair and that he was returning
to the county to give himself w
when he was arrested. He is anxious
to have the examining trial held as
soon as possible. AS there were very
few witnesses to the killing, and
none but friends of Rhea, it is very
probable that there will be some diff.
ficulty in making out as strong a case
against him as the facts would merit
if they could be brought out.

The story Of the finding of box of
money near Caledonia was a social
ed joke by some alleged humorisi.

The commission sent by the Gov
ernor to investigate affairs il Rowan
county, Ky, reported that they
found very bad state of feeling in
Morehcad, but were themselves
treated with consideration. They
drew up compromise, by which the
contracting parties pledged them
selves to lay down their arms, make
friends and work together for the
full enforcement of the law Ill all
cases where it had been violated.
This was signed by the Tolifer crowd,
who have driven the Martin party
away and have possession. of the
town. The troops have not been
called out.

A HORRIBLE FATE.
VIM. BAILEY, A coLoRED BOY,
FOUND DEAD IN A FIELD,
WHERE HIS BODY HAD
BEEN EXPOSED FOR
FIFTY DAYS.
His Bones Knawsd By Dogs.

On the 9th of February, during the
bitter cold weather, when the mer-
curry in the thermometers was sever
al degrees below zero, a colored boy
named William Bailey disappeared
from his home, near Sinking Folk
lie was about l6 years old aud was a
son of Nathan Bailey, reputable col
ored man, living near the Brick
church, Oh the Princeton road, about
seven or eight miles from the city.
The boy was subject to epileptic fits,
or convulsions. lie left his home to
go to a school house, not far away,
Feb. 9th, and was never seen after
wards. His mysterious disappear
ance caused considerable sensation
in the reighborlood at the time, and
search parties made several ineflect.
ual hunts for the lost boy. The mat
ter had been involved in mystery uu-
til last Wednesday, when the dis
membercd skeleton of the boy was
found in Mr.. S. T. Wrights field,
not far from his fathers house. A
little girl saw boot lying near
where she passed on her way TO
school, and mentioned the fact TO
some one. 1t was examined and
found to contain foot The boot was
identified by Nathan Bailey, as one
worn by his son, and search was re-
newed and the rest of the skeleton
was found in the field about 25C
yards from the road. Dogs had
knawed the bones and some of them
had been dragged hundred yards
or more. Tue corpse was fully iden-
titled by the clothing found with it
and the remains were collected and
decently inferred.
The supposition is that the boy
was taken with one Of his spells
wandered from the path and was
frozen to-death. 1t is horrible
story, but one that las been related
without any coloring not warranted
by the facts IN the case.

DEATH OF COL. ALEXANDER
He Breathss His Last at s a, N,
Sunday.

Col. G. u. Alexander, who shot
himself last Tuesday morning before
daylight, died Sunday morning, at 6
o'clock. His death was inevitable
from the first aud Il is surprising that
his life was prolonged for five days.
lie was partially conscious at inter-
walls and on Saturday was rational
enough to authorize Esq. Ned Camp
bell to vote his proxy In a meeting OF
the Stockholders Of the Newstead
Turnpike Co. Although better Sat
urday, 1t proved to be the last rally
of declining nature and lie died as
stated above. His interment took
place at the family burying ground
yesterday afternoon.
Col. Alexander was probably u
years or more of age. He had lived
here for many years and enjoyed The
respect and esteem of all his neigh
bors. lie leaves no immediate fam
lily excepting his wife.

All officer yesterday TO go out to Belle

Beaureguard, who had dangerously

free fights between drunken negroes,
for which Belleview is noted. and
which we are periodically called up

Beaureguard, who lives at John

derous blow Oh the side of his head
and left him for dead. His brother

Ricketts, was carried some distance

Shot Down Like a Dog.
HENRY MARTIN HUNTS WI
LEY HUTCHINSON IN THE
STILL HOURS OF NIGHT
AND PUTS A Bull
LET INTO HIS
BODY.
Justice Defed Within Twenty
Steps Of the Court House.


Last Sunday morning about l
o'clock the people sleeping in the vi
cinity Of the Public Square were
aroused from their slumberS by cries
of "Helpw "Murderw "Policel" etc.
The first parties to reach the place
found Wiley Hutchinson, col, lying
in front of the Court House with a
pistol ball in his back. lie was shot
by Henry Martin, COL, who was ar
rested shortly afterwards and is now
in jail.
THE DETAILS.
Hutchinson occupies room up
stairs in a tenement house back of
the Court house. About y o'clock
Saturday night he went home from
Tandy's saloon, where he works aud
took into his room with him a color
cd girl named Lethe Ware. Shortly
afterwards Martin came TO the room
to see Hutchinson and when the
door was opened walked in and
spoke to the girl. llutchin-
son asked him what he had
to do with the girl and from
this they got into row and Hutch
inson picked up Ratchet and knock
ei Martin down, cutting cash over
the corner of one eye and otherwise
injuring him lie then elected him
from the room and would have kick
ed him down the steps but for the in
PREVENTION of other tenants OF tie
house.
Martin left loudly cursing and re-
turned with a pistol shortly after
words. lie called to Hutchinson TO
come to the door, but the latter or
dcred him away aud went to the
door and attempted 10 fastcn ii more
securely. Whilc'thus engaged Mar
tin sent a ball crashing through the
panel, which knocked splinters in
llutchinson's face. Hutchinson theu
leapcd out the window to the ground
aud ran up Short street and to the
police headquarters, but failed TO
find the officers in. As he was return
ing he met Martin, who had followed
him, in front of the court house and
he ran across the street towards
Court street. As he did this Martin
shot him in the back, six inches be-
low the shoulder blade. This seems
to be about the correct statement of
the affair.
HUTCHiNsoN's CONDITION.
The wounded man now lies in his
room and is very badly hunt. The
wound was thought 10 be fatal at
first, but yesterday there was some
improvement and Hutchinson may
pull through, though his recovery is
extremely doubtful. lie is about 80
years old, and Martin is not over 81.
The colored people who know both
say Martin is very bad character
and that Hutchinson has always
been.peaceably disposed. The exam
lining trial is set for 8 o'clock to-
morrow.
