Across the State of Kentucky,
through the northwestern Fart, is a
long range of mountainous country
filled with forests and lined by dense
growth of underbrush. Through this
dense forest there are passes which are
known like @, cry trail and road to its
citizens. Many Of these passes are
narrow defiles, where two or three men
with Wholesalers can keep back q

passes that the many escapes from the
officers are made. It is well-known
fact that for many years large band

truth is told he seldom does get entirely

how he came ii over President Harrison.

of Oklahoma under territorial form OF
government. The President and Secre-

he was going to select the principal Off

this became known to Senator Ingalls, he
went to the President and asked for one
of the judgeships for a constituent. The
President would make no prom Sc. and
from the conversation with him, and from
wo DIS let fa,l by the Secretary, he became
convin ed that the administration had
parcelled the ten lucrative positions

that the bill organizing Oil homo ms
