Il REIGN OF TERROR.
The Bitter and Bloody Feud That CIR
Out of an Election Ouarral

Out of an Election Quarrel.
A special from Morehead, KY, re-
ports that Rowan County is expert
encing reign of lawlessness. A quar-
rel which arose last August over the
election of sheriff, has grown into a
most bitter feud, which has already
caused several tragedies. The trouble
being political one, one side or the
other has been espoused by nearly
every citizen OF the county. A short
time ago adeputy sheriff was killed, the
county attorney waylaid and wound
ed, and other authorities have fled
the country. Since the murder of
Deputy Sheriff Baumgardner, there has
been no county government. The
county Judge, sheriff, marshal and dep
uties have all gone. The county clerk,
Maj. Casey, a non-combatant and
non-partisan, is the only one left and
he has received two or three warnings
that he had better go. Armed bands
of men patrol the country and make
regular visits to Morehead. At any
moment collision is looked for, and
scenes of the Breathitt war may be
re4enacted. The trouble comes from
the election of sheriff. John Martin,
the Republican candidate, received a
majority of eleven votes. There was
some trouble over this between him
and man named Tolliver. A short
while ago Tolliver met an old man
named Martin, relative of the sher-
iff, in a saloon. Tolliver shot him.
Afterward witnesses swore that the
killing was done by the sheriff, and the
trouble kept on growing till Baum
gardner was shot.

firing WAS heavy. While the fight was
in progress a fire, the origin Of which is
not yet known, broke out in the town.
Preston, when he saw that defeat was
inevitable, made his escape. Many OF
his men were killed or captured. The
town by this time was in flames.
Everything was swept away savea few
of the Panama Railroad buildings, on
the north beach. All the railroads

The Turkish government is in ar
rears to the soldiers for several
months pay, and on the list inst. the
wives OF the soldiers attempted to Sc
cure attention to their husbands de-
mands by appearing in force at the
office of the minister of finance in Con-
stantinople. Bands of women COL
lected to the number OF 2, 1000 or more
at point near the building occupied
by the cabinet officials. At an ap-
pointed hour they marched in a body
to the Office of the minister of finance;
pushing past the guards, they entered
the office, and confronting the minis
ter, they demanded the pay due their
husbands. Policemen were called in,
and tried to expel them, but the women
turned on the officers and forced them
to retire. The finance minister made
a plausible excuse for the delay in
paying the men. The women declared
this answer unsatisfactory, and made
a rush for him. He, however, escaped
by jumping out of back window.

HUNDREDS STARVING.
The Stories of Distress In West Virgin
Tho People Living on Parched Corn

The Steries of Distress in West Virginia.
Tho People Living on Parched Corn.
Information received from the suffer
ing districts in West Virginia says the
people are in bad condition and on
the verge of starvation. They are
asking for bread. Animals are starv-
ing to death. In many places strong
men are begging for an ear of corn to
keep soul and body together. The
condition of the farmers is distressing.
In many parts of the suffering section
many gain a livelihood by running
timber, but for months there has been
no rise in the rivers or mountain
streams, hence the people are suffering
for food because no timber can be run.
Unless a rise comes soon, there will
yet be months of suffering. The peo-
pie held out we'll, trying to keep the
story of their suffering from going
abroad, but the time has come when
hunger pinches them, and they now
askfor food. In the northern part of
the county great suffering has been ex-
perlenced amoung mountain farmers.
Lumbermen say matters are truly dis
treasing. Children and women eat
parched corn, when they get it, and
are thankful. The winter was severe,
and the people poor and with no work
In many places stock died in large
numbers from starvation.
