A special from Hopkinsville Of
the End says: Last evening heart
rending and terrible accident occurred
at Kelly Station, about five miles from
the city. The only particulars OF the
horrible double tragedy were obtained
from 'Sqire J. W. Armstrong. Mr. Ed.
Fuller, who lives near Cadiz, Trigg
county, KY, was driving along rough
road, near John Hale's, after dark, with
his wife and young child in wagon.
The trio were conversing in a happy
tone of voice, little dreaming of an
impending fate, headlong to death. In
the darkness he drove into deep gull
ly and turnad the wagon upside down,
killing both the wife and child. The
mothers piteous appeals for help, ring
ing out into the solitude of the woods,
were terrible beyond description. The
child, only 2 years old, was dashed to
death outright. Mr.. Fuller had mi
raculous escape. He sustained inter-
nal injuries that will probably prove
fatal. They we're en- route to Mr..
Thos. De Armous' on pleasure trip,
Mrs. Fuller being De Armous' daugh-
ter The dead bodies were conveyed
to the latter's house, where was wit
messed sickening scene. The news
of the fearful tragedy spread like Wild
fire. The horses received considerable
injury, and the wagon was smashed to
pieces.
"A dispatch from Bowling Green,
dated the 9th, says: This morning
about 10 o'clock a big, dirty, burly-
looking negro tramp went to Mr.. J..
w. Valentines residence, one mile
south of town, on the Scottsville pike,
in his absence, and asked his wife for
work. She told him she had all the
help she needed. He then asked for
something to eat, and she gave it 10
him, but he ate only a few nouthfuls,
and, as Mrs. Valentine went into her
room, he followed her and locked the
door after him. Catching her by the
throat with one hand, and taking Il
pair of scissors in the other hand, he
demanded what money she had, saying
il she did not give it up be would kill
her. Frightened out of her wits and
no one else being about the premises
to render assistance, she surrendered
all the money in the house-$lS. He
then hurriedly left the house and came
IN the direction of town. The alarm
was given Immediately, and soon five
posses were out securing the country
for miles around in search OF him.
There was nothing about him by
which he could be identified except Il
black cap with red stripes around it,
and his clothes were very dirty and
rusty. A negro answering that de-
scription was seen going down the
railroad toward Nashville. Much ex-
element prevails here over the affair,
and should the negro be caught he
