White Plains, in Wilson District.
Granville johnson, col, was killed
by man named Hewlett, who was
assisting Marshal Bourland of Ear
lington to arrest johnson. The latter
was wanted at NortOnsville, in Hop
kins county, for some violation ofthe
liquor selling law and Bourland was
sent with a warrant for his arrest
and summoned Hewlett TO assist
him. They found johnson in this
county, as stated above, but he refus-

Bourland, whom, he shot in the leg.
Bourland fell and the negro jumped
on him aud had him down when
Hewlett interfered and shot johnson
through the head, from which. he
died in a few minutes. He was a
very bad character from what We
can learn and the officers acted in the
line of duty in killing him. Hewlett

lands wound was not of serious
character.

A FIGHT FOR LIFE
REUB BAILEY, A TODD COUNTY
FARMER, HAS A DEsPER-
ATE ENCOUNTER WITH
A MAD-DoG, AND IS
BITTEN BY THE
ANIMAL

For several days there has been a
genuine scare in portions of Todd
county on account Of mad-dogs. IN
til last Saturday nobody had been
bitten by any of them, though sever
al dogs had been killed. Saturday
morning Mr.. Reub Bailey, a young
farmer living three miles from Elk
ton, on the +. Il &. railroad, went
out to his stable sOom after light and
was attacked by fcrocious mad-dog,
which rushed upon him, frothing at
the mouth. The dog grabbed him
by the leg but fortunately he had on
boot and its teeth merely scraped
the flesh without abrading the cuti-
Gle. Mr.. Bailey began at once to
kick the dog off but itreturned again
and again, making fierce and deter
mined efforts TO reach the young
mans throat. At last by a wcll-di-
rec.ed kick he disabled the dog and
taking it by the legs beat it against
the ground and left it for lifeless.
In the fight Mr.. Bailey was bitten on
the thumb. lie at once went 10 the
house, killed a chicken and applied
the warm flesh to the wound and
sent for a doctor. The doctor gave
him some medicine but advised him
to 20 to Nashville 10 get maidstone
applied. At Guthrie Mr.. Bailey and
his wife met Mr.. S. +. Chastain, of
this city, who Informed them that
Mr.. Twyman, of this place, had one
and they came down Saturday night
and had it applied to the wound.
The poisoned flesh had been preyi-
ously cut out and cauterized,
but Mr.. Bailey was determined 10
take every precaulion that medical
science could suggest. lie will live
in an agony of fear until the period
oil danger is passed. The dog which
lac lief; for dead, afterwards came 10
life and escaped and is still at large.

DISTRACTIONS REMOVED.
No More Goods en- the Streets.

The city council has undertaken 10
enforce the ordinance against pu'tlhS
obstructions of any KIND upon inc
streets and plvemcnts. Inc orul-
nance has not been enforced oil laIe
wears anu dealers have fallen into the
custom OF setting out their goods and
wares in front of their stores u"'I'
some of the streets were almost
bluckaded. The chief of police
notified all the business men Salur-
day that the penalty of fine of from
$500 to 5000 day would hereafter
be enforced against all violalors OF
the ordinance. There is a good deal
of complaint.in consequence ana a
great deal of dissatisfaction express
cd.
A Main street merchant was ap-
preached by a South KENTucKIAN re-
porter Yesterday on the subject and
his language was more forcible than
elegant. Said he, 81 will lose money
bv this law and SO will all the dealers,
1t is an outrage upon the business
men of the city, who make the city
what IL is
Another merchant objected because
II looks more like business TO see
the pavcments full OF boxes and
goods. "Why," said he. "go to an!
city and you can scarcely get along
the principal streets at this season
Just look at our streets and see how
dead they appear. One can almost
imagine himself in graveyard"
On the other hand there are mer-
chants who say that it is as fair fol
one as another and II verybody Is
prohibited no injustice will be done
to any. BE that as it may, the ordi'
nance will be rigidly enforced in the
future. 1t applies to everything
from grindstone to a wagon anc
from bunch of bananas to q barre
of salt. The new order of thing
went into effect yesterday and to-day
nothing whatever is to be seen upol
the sidewalks in front of the business
houses.

Two lots OF movers passed through
the city last week. One lot seemed
to be a single family and they were
very iorlorn looking set. Their
faces were turned towards the rising
sun and three young women carrying
long rifles walked behind the wagon
while the men drove the team and led a
pair of bony mules. They were
clothed in rags and tattcrs and looked
even worse than common tramps,
The other emigrants were in six
covered wagons and were going west
They had good stock and were vel
fixed for moving. They did not STOP
in the city, but passed out the Prince
ton road late Saturday afternoon.

Twenty-one years ago, the mother
of Mr.. A. d. Newland died and was
buried in the old family graveyard.
Desiring to have the body placed in
Buffalo Springs Cemetery, Mr.. New
land had it disinterred Tuesday,
when it was found that it had turned
to stone. Those who saw it state
that the face, save that it had changed
to brownish hue, was almost life
like in its naturalness. The features
were good and even the hair on the
face could be plainly seen. The
hands were perfect and had not
changed color. The case was met
alic one and inside the lining appear
ed fresh and clean. The grave clothes
were all in good state of preservation
and the ribbons and laces looked like
they had just been placed there. An
effort to get Mr.. Newland to place
the remains in the vault proved un'
awaiting and so fearful was he that
they would be sought by scientific
men, that he placed huge stones on
the coffin and rammed rhe eartl
around with heavy mauls, The case
was very heavy, requiring seven mel
to handle it.--Interior Journal.
