There is n peculiar incident connected
with the career of Ben Hogan, the reformed
pugilist, thnt is not generally known. When
lie was training to fight Tom Allen no
noticed that despite his training, care and his
peculiar dict he was growing weaker and
more nervous, so that he was unable to sleep.
lie was treated by the physicians for ma
larin, but it nfterward developed that he had
been poisoned by the cook who furnished
linn with tea, the leaves of which were satu-
rated with coppcras. Green blotches ap-
pcarcd upon tho surface of his skin, and the

back door, got in the enemy's rear, killed
two Of them and put the third 10 flight.
Then the McCoys met ono Stratton, n Hat
field, ON a road in Pike county, md scored
ono for their side by shooting him. About
five or six years ago johnson Hatfield, n son
of Capt. Arson Hatfield, met and wooed n
Mccoy girl. Ono night he ran her Off. He
lived with her till he became tired of her,
and then let her go.
By this timo Winchester rifles became
plentiful, md the warfare began to be prac-
ticed on a largo scale. One day nfter nm
election three McCoys knocked down n Hat
field and cut him up into mincemeat. Where
upon Capt. Ans Hatfield raide Pike county
and carried Off the three offending McCoys.
These McCoys, ono of whom was but 10 years
old, they tied 10 trees and amused themselves
in pouring bullets into them till they were
dead.
After n good many more murders, tho state
of Kentucky concluding that if she did not
interfere there might be bloodshed, offered
heavy rewards for Ans. Hatfield and SOW
eral of that gang. Frank Phillips, n Nc
Coy, was then deputy sheriff of Pike county,
Ky. Taking the warrants. he led a gang into
Logan county and captured the stepfather of
n man for whom ho had n warrant. Soon
after another raid was made into Logan
county, w. Va, resulting in tho capture of
more prisoners. Then tho Logan county
'rogulntors' gave notice that if there was
my moro "fooling' somebody might get
hurt, This kept tho peace for n while, but
not long. On New Years night about n
dozen Hatfields surrounded Randall McCoy's
log cabin and called on him to como out and
surrender. Mccoy was naturally timid
about obliging them, whereupon they set the
house nfre. All the occupants of the house
except ono, including an old woman and u
young girl, wero shot down. Tho escaped
man was Randall Mccoy, whose wife, four
sons and a daughter lave been killed.
Capt. Vance, OF the Hatiields, was tho next
to fall. Tho McCoys went TO his house when
he was away md robbed it. An old woman,

Louise treated the affair lightly and cx-
presses sympathy for the mailman. There
is, of course, no political Significance at
tached to such an affair; it only interests tho
public because of the remarkable career of
Louise Michel, who has been soldier, de
claimer, rebel, exile, convict and pardoned,
the companion of Rochefort in New Caledo-
nin, and is now once more the apostle of on

Pike county, KY, and Logan county, w.

warfare, bloodshed and murder, such as one
might rather expect to find among the Rocky
mountains thirty years ago than in "A country
which has been settled moro than a century.
Two factions, the Hatfelds, of Logan county,
and the McCoys, of Pike county, have been
engaged in numbering each other for twenty
five years.
In 1868 Capt. James Vance, n Hatfield, nm

during which he met one of his former

Sketch and Portrait of a Live western
Railroad Man.

Skctch ana Portrait OF "A Live Western
Railroad Man.
Thomas j. Potter, first vice president and
general manager of the Union Pacific rail
way, is undoubtedly the best known and at
the same time one of the most popular rail
way officials in the west. Since his install
ment in the position he now occupies, he has
completely reorganized the forces in every
department of the railway, and brought
about such changes as have been of greatest
satisfaction to the public and of vast good to
his corporation. To Mr.. Potter more than to
any other individual is due the credit of de-
croasing the time of transit from the Mis-
souri, river TO the Pacific coast, the reduction
in running time of trains amounting to a
saving Of about t~wenty-four hours between
the above mentioned points, and thirty-six
hours between Chicago and the coast.
Mr.. Potter is an Ohioan by birth, having
been born in Carroll county, on Aug. 10, 1910.

PROHIBITION RUN RADo

Ginger Ale and soda Water Tabooed by
Law Passed in Massachusetts.
Boston, MASS April 6.-One OF the
most fauatical laws which hiss been en-
acted in Massachusetts for msnY years
was passed to be engrossed by the House
OF Representatives td!s afternoon. 1t Is
the so.cslled per cent. bill. It pro-
hibits the sale OF any liquid as beverage
which contains per cent.
or more of alcohol. The present
legal limit Is per cent. The new
lsw is direct blow against the
dealers in email beer and many other So
cslled temperance drinks. 1t prohibits
the sale oflemon, sod,, and ginger ale If
they have been kept long enough to un-
dergo the slightest fermentation, TO
which they are liable. The measure has
been supported and advocated by the
Lsw and Oder Lesgue and other tenn
perance organic lions, but it is sure TO
rescs powerfully against the cause which
it's supporters have at heart. II Will,
of course, drive from their side
directly into the camp Of the liquor deal
ers the great interests represented by the
makers of light beverages OF ell kinds.
The bill has already passed the Senate,
aud it now goes to the Governor. The
so-cAllad Temperance element now con-
trolls the publican psrty of the state
and it is very doubtful # Governor AmeS
will have backbone enough to veto the
| fapaticAl measure.

The Interesting History OF a Bslsimorear's

Wonderful Timspiece.
Baltimore Amer can.
Thomas Bulltnger, corner of York road
and Willow avenue, nesr GoyanstoWn,
hiss G wonderful clock Il IA handmade,
and csu easily be taken apxTt, as 1t Is
built IN sections. II is nine feet seven
inches nigh and twenty-eight inches in
the broadest psrt, and is OF walnut timber.
1t has two pictures, painted on copper,
one representing the pyramids OF Egypt,
and the other woodland scene In 5 Witz-
erland. 1t is a twelve-day clock, with
two running weights OF sixteen
pounds each. The musical weight which
drives the bellows weighs six.y-tVe
pounds. There are fity-two pipes IN the
clock, ranging from TWO and hslf inches
to two feet long, and weighs one ard a
half pounds. The clock hss two cylinders,
each of which furnishes eight tunes IN :
GLIDING wsltzes and dancing music. All
are old German tunes. Mr. ] aud Mrs.
Bullinger value the clock very highly, IS
it is good time piece. 1t is worth
$500.
In 1880 the clock was brought from
Ssxony by Rudolph Shsffer. l. WIS then
fifty years old. Shaft resided for
eighteen years on telL'S folnt, WusIe Ae
died. At his death he wiIled the clock to
his son. The son was stabbed
and killed at the corner OF Central
avenue and Chase street some time ago.
The clock then fell TO his vile, Josephine
| Shaffer, from Hhom Mr.. Builinger bought
it last December. The clock was made
In Germany, by Gustav Adolpn. It's re-
cord has been traced back 1SS years, and
it is supposed to be much older. Mr.
Bullipger, in cleaning out the cylinder
found German paper partially destroyed
by mice, which was printed in German
In Ssxony, in 1901. On Friday OF las
week thirty persons called to see it, snc
on Sunday sixteen more came, and Mr.
Bullirger made this wonderful CLOCK plsl
seventy FIVE tunes, to the satisfaction o
the curious callers, who were carried
away by the musical performance.
