A PROBABLE MURDER.
cush Henderson Shot Down by Lem
Morris and Geo. Tucker.

l
A week or more ago the KENTUoK'
IAN alluded to rumor that Cush
Henderson had been killed by John
McCalpin. This report was moi
true, but Henderson was shot and
perhaps MORALLY wounded Monday
afternoon at Orrin Henderson's dis
tillery, near Pilot Rock, in the Mt.
Vernon district, by Lem Morris and
Geo. Tucker. Cush Henderson is a
son law of Orrin Henderson and
Is blacksmith at L. W. Walkers
place on the Fairview pike. He was
at the distillery ON a visit. lie had
previously had a difficulty with
Morris. On the evening in question
Morris and Tucker were at the dis
tillery. Tucker was very drunk and
as they fingered at the distillery after
II had been closed Henderson went
down from the house to get them to
leave. Before he came up, according
to fuckers statement, Morris said to
him "theres going to be hi to pay
when Cush Henderson gets here"
and borrowed one of fuckers two
pistols. Henderson came up and In
peaceable way tried TO get the men
to leave. He helped Tucker mount
his mule but Morris began to abuse
him and they got into a quarrel.
Finally both men opened fire upon
Henderson, who was unarmed, and
he received two bad wounds. One
was In the head and the other in the
lungs. A third bullet went through
his hat. This is Henderson's version
of the affair. He is confident both
men fired upon him. Tucker claims
that he was too drunk to know what
he did. He says Morris shot and he
snapped his pistol but don't know
whether it fired or not. Tucker was
too drunk TO get away and was ar
rested and brought to Jail the next
morning by Constable John Ssun.
ders. Morris escaped and is still at
large.
Henderson is about So years old
and has wife and four children.
He was reported fatally wounded,
but no news Of his death has reached
the city. If he is still alive he may
get well.
Tucker is 90 years old and is a
nephew Of Nick Gibson. He lived
with Mr.. e. II. Fritz. Morris 10 a
son of George Morris and is also a
young man.
There were no witnesses to the az
fair except tho participants, but &C.
cording to the statements Of both
Henderson and Tucker the shooting
was entirely unprovoked.

WAsmSoroN, ID. c., April 81, 'S9.
EDITOR KENTUcKIAN
have received letters from friends
In which they state that Jno. Feland
had telegraphed home that 1 hat
filed charges ID the effect that he hai
failed to turn over money collected
for clients. II any such charge has
been filed, / know nothing of It and
had nothing TO do with 1t. II l knew
such charge to be true and could
be proven and backed up by proper
afiidavits, my common sense and pru-
dence would forbid my doing 1t. AS
know Of no such case, of course !
could not make such a charge. While
think Mr.. Feland has acted in bad
faith with me by endorsing me and
then applying for the same position,
| would not have an Office obtained
by making charges not warranted by
the facts. Some Of my friends to
whom l have talked insist that no
such charge has ever been filed and a
search Of the records will fail to show
II. 1t Is claimed that such ruse as
this one seems to be are frequently
resorted to in desperate straits. The
impression prevails among my spe-
cial friends, both inside and outside,
that Mr.. Feland realized / had him
beat and something must be done, as
| had all the home backing Of all
parties, classes and races. There
were only two things TO do:
l. Raise man Of straw to be
knocked down and thus generate
sympathy and produce reaction in
his favor at home where his backing
is NIL.
2. To injure my chances by con-
Meeting my name with such charge
and having me out Of the way in this
manner, he could succeed.
II such charge was filed Mr.. Fe-
land had no right TO jump 10 the con-
clusion that had filed IL. Such ruses
as this will not bear fruit. This Is
all 1 have to say at present.
s. II. CRUMBAUGH.
1t is to be regretted that the con-
test is causing unpleasant feelings be-
tween Messrs. Crumbaugh aud Fe-
land. The matter Of which Maj.
Crumbaugh speaks occurred several
days ago. We are not advised as to
who sent the telegram, but number
Of endorsements of Mr.. Feland, con-
tradicting any such charge as that
he had Incorporated money be-
longing to clients, were promptly
wired TO him from this city. The
impression was created here that the
charge was made by Maj .Crumbaugh,
until denial from that gentleman
appeared in a Louisville paper. Maj.
Crumbaugh's friends protested all
along that he would not have been
guilty Of such thing and this denial
over his own signature will be &C.
cepted as con elusive.
Mr.. Feland Is also In Washington
again and the appointment believed
TO be close at hand.

been practlced on the

that the largest mer-
chants pay for them.
Come to my store and
I. will prove to you

My object In this proceeding is to
close out my stock of Clothing as
soon as possible in order to use the
upstairs of my house for other
goods and will not handle Clothing

elegant stock do so before the best

Monkey Diet.

The Russian vice consul in Leipsic, M. de
Fircks, has left at the Berlin aquarium, to be
taken care of during his absence in Russia,
says a correspondent, two rare monkeys. One
Is a red haired orang outanG, and the other a
black chimpanzee. They We're sent to Berlin
In boz; lined with straw, and their travelling
outfit included a table and rocking chair
They we're each dressed in long flannel
bournols, and each wore a red fez to protect
it from the cold. Their suite consisted of a
little negro boy from the Congo. When they
were put into their cage in the Berlin aqua
rum the other monkeys there greeted them
with mighty chattering. At home they are
great pets, and they are very tame and play
full Their prescribed diet is as follows: For
breakfast, specially prepared milk; for din
ner, rice or semolina in bouillon and roast
veal or veal outlets, in addition to which the
chimpan nee gets wine and water, and the
orang outang two bottles of milk, for supper,
they have meat and bread and each two bot
ties of milk, while the chimpanzee gets an
apple besides, and all day long as much wine
as 1t likes. Before going to sleep the negro
boy bathes them.-Boston Herald

Benefits of Travel.

been among all classes of people since / left
Atlanta, and | have witnessed that which is
great In art and IN nature My conviction is
that tra vel makes n man better and kinder at
heart 1t enlarges his vision, it opens up the
narrow channels of his mind, and above all
things 1t kills pedantry and petty vanity.
When ] left Atlanta u few weeks ago l felt
self inn ortant and my brain seemed too large
for my nat. / felt that wherever | went /
would make an impression, but such illusions
were SOLVED, as l found myself in New
York, cushing my way through the throng-
a great pulsing ocean of humanity, who no
more beeded me than they did the smallest
bootblack. Wherever | went | found it so,
until l longed to get right here in Atlanta,
where | would rather live than in any
city in this universe. came back humbled,
but alre ady / begin to feel my identity and
recover some of my waning self esteem; but
