THE KENTUCKY FEU d.
a..o,,s Of the French-Evers0le Battle
Of Last Week.

Hazard, KY, Nov. 1.-THE Cir
emit court convenedlast Monday, the
4tb inst. Judge Lily, the regular
;udpe, not being. absent the bar el
:. scted Captain W. L. Hurst of Wolf
county to preside. There was good
.rowd in attendance and everything
started off serenely, with apparently
no danger of trouble between the
wsrring factions.
George Eversole, the leader OF the
Eyersole faction came into town
Monday evening with fifteen armed
men, But as most of them were un
der bonds to appear at this term OF
court nothing was thought OF it.
The Eversole party kept increasing
in numbers until it reached thirty
xell armed men. There was only a
few Of the French party in town. 1t
soon became apparent that there
would be trouble. French was
aware of the warlike preparations
and placed himself with a strong
force within easy reach Of town, SO
az to be able to relieve his friends IL,
the event of trouble.
Thursday evening Wesley Whit
taker of the Eversole faction fired
upon Henry Davidson; one of the
French party, who was standing in
the door OF the jailor's residence, a
few yards from the court house.
Whitaker had barricaded himself
in small log house on the
opposite side of the street. David
son was soon joined by Tom and
Bill Smith and others. Whitaker
in the meantime had also been join
ed by number of his friends, and
lively fight ensued between the
four men of the French party and
the Eversoles. The court, which
was in session, stampeded. The
fight lasted about fifteen minutes
When the smoke cleared away it was
found that Ed. Campbell II the
Eversole party had been killed. This
fight took place about four O'Clock
in the evening.
The parties rested on their arms
until night, when the fight was re
newed with increased fierceness
The French party had been reinforc
ed by the Davidson boys, Jess
Martin, brother of E. G. Martin
who was killed by the Eversoles ant
others. B. E. French himself cam
into town about II o'clock with re
Inducements.
At daybreak the fight ragged witt
renewed fury. The Eversole part,
was stationed in the old court hous
and j. G. Eversole's old fort. Th
French party occupied what pos
tions they could find. But the mai
fight took place between Jesse Field
and Tom Smith, who occupied
strongly fortified position command
ing the enemy's works, and the
kept up a steady fire on the Ever
soles. The battle lasted about a
hour, when the Eversole party bea
ahasty retreat, fording the river o
foot and disappearing in the moul
tains on the other side, leaving the
dead. Ed. Campbell and John NJ
Knight were killed and several we,
wounded on the Eversole side. Jes:
Fields on the French side, receive
flesh wound in the arm.
Court broke up without cerem
ny, the Judge leaving for home 1

THE NEW TERRITORY.

At noon last Monday Oklahoma
was thrown open to settlement aud
thousands of men who had been
waiting on the borders raced into the
territory to stake out claims and
town lots. The scene of hurry
skurry beggard description-riders,
buggies, carriages and wagons made
the best time possible over the bOr-
der to sections which we're known OF
to the several town sites, Guthrie
was the town site nearest the Kansas
line, upon which a majority of the
emigrants, spectators, bummers
and confidence men had congregated
1t was soon discovered hal govern
ment officials had staked off the best
lots in the towns and when this
rascally action became fully apparent
curses were loud and deep. A press
dispatch says:
"The crowds of fngitives from the
famine, thirst, frost and heat of
Guthrie are swelling as each train on
the all-bUt-paralvzed railroad comes III
The ~icrccst resentment is breathed
against the government for the out.
rageouslY unfair manner in which the
country was thrown open, The whole
federal machinery, from the President
down TO his last deputy, is passionately
denounced"
Besides, Notwithstanding the
efforts of the troops to clear the
country many men concealed them
selves and had desirable lands staked
out before The rush across the
border began. 1t is probable that
those wo entered the country legally
will d~ispossess those who anticipated
them.
Some Bloodshed and much con-
fusion has and will occur though
doubtless reports are exaggerated.
Americans soon find q way to pre-
serve some kind of order and execute
a rude justice. There we're but
2 1000, 900 of acres in Oklahoma and
it is estimated that there is treble
the number of people in the country
that there is land for. In conse-
quence the disappointed, and they
are in the majority, are infringing up
on the Cherokee strip which lies north
of Oklahoma and trouble is feared.
1t is likely however that the troops
will clear the Indian country without
serious difficulty though there are
enough men in a desperate condition,
II they were organized, to overpower
the force under Gen. Crook.
II is safe to say that the largest mum

We noticed last week that the

appointed a committee to examine
the books Of lis Mayor and other

not only this! That committee

giving those benighted people some
idea of how much got into the cor

Now what is the use Of having city
