A Sensational Suit.


Louisville Times.
The most recent step in the cele-
brated Horse Cave, KY, conflict be-
tween Prof. Slocum and the citizens
of that place, which occurred some
months ago, was the filing of dam
age suit in the United States Court
several days ago by Prof. Slocum
against nineteen of the most promi-
nent citizens of Horse Cave. 1t will
be remembered that Prof. Slocum
went from some place in the State of
Ohio to Horse Cave and opened a
school, and from some cause became
very unpopular with the people in
and around Horse Cave.
The troubles continued to grow till
one night an assault was made on
SlOcum's residence by number of
men on horseback. Information of
the visit had been conveyed 10 Slo-
cum previously, and he was prepared
TO give his enemies warm reception
In the rumpus one man was killed,
twomortally hurt, and others slight
ly wounded, and the affair caused a
great deal of excitement all over
Hart county. A number of very
damaging statements were made
against the Professor and some of
his assistant teachers, and since then
an indictment was returned in War
rem county against female
teacher and gentleman who ac-
lively espoused the Professors
cause. The female assistant re-
ferred to was from Ohio also, and
established for herself a very lively
reputation, and is said to be the
cause of all the trouble.
The amount of damage sued for is
$4,000, and the style of the suit is p.
}. Solcum against b. Il. Craddock,
DR.. T. Ii. Garvin, II. f. and Mace.
Mustain, G.. A. Taylor, Wade j. Lew
is, Thomas Walton, Jacob Bailey,
James Green, Frank Maddox, Will
liam Adams, L. F. Richardson, John
L. Abbott, Edward Smith, John Long
Martin Havey. Harrison Crayne, Jos
Burton and George Briggs. The de-
PENDANTS number nineteen in all, and
are charged with an assault on Slo-
cum and with being conspirators to
drive him out of the county. Among
the defendants are two bankers-the
Mustains--the leading physicians of
the county, DR.. Garvin, John E. Alb
bolt, brother of Capt. Buck Abbott,
Prosecuting Attorney of the Louis
vile City Court, and a number of
prominent merchants. The trial will
develop some very interesting mat
ters.

resident of the State of Indiana, and

AYERS
Hair VigOr

restores, with the gloss and freshness of
youth, faded or gray hair to natural, rich
brown color, or deep black, as may be desired
BY its use light or red hair may be darkSned,
thin hair thickened, and badness often,
though not always, cured.
1t checks falling of the hair, and stimn-
lates a weak and sickly growth to vigor. 1t
prevents AID cures scarf and dandruif, and
heals nearly every disease peculiar to the
scalp. As a Ladies' Hair Dressing, the
VIGoR is unequalled it contains neither oil
nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and
silken in appearance, and imparts delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perfume.
Mr.. c. p. BRICHER writes from Knby o.,

falling out, and i'll Il short time l became
nearly bald | used part of a<bottle of
AYEK's HAIR VIGoR, which stopped the fall
ing of the hair, and started a new growth. ]
have now a full head of hair growing vigor-
ously, and am convinced that but for the
use of your preparation l should have been
entirely bald"
j. w. Bowen, proprietor of the McArthur
(OhiO) Enquirer, says =" AYERS HAIR NIGoR
is a most excellent preparation for the hair
j speak of it from my own experience. Its
use promotes the growth of new hair and
sure cure for dandrutf. Not within my
knowledge has the preparation ever failed
to give entire satisfaction"
Mr. Angus FATRnAIRS. leader of the

Nocalists, writes from Boston, Mss, Feb. 6,
1SS0: Ever since my hair began to give sill
very evidence of the change which heeting

NIGoIt, and have been able to maintain
an appearance of youthfulness -a matter of
considerable consequence to ministers, ora
tors, actors. and in fact every one who lives
in the eyes of the public"
Mrs. .. A. PRESCOTT, writing from Is Elm

Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair
came of. 1t thimed very rapidly, and was
fast growing bald. On using AYERS HAZE
