Butchered the Kings English.

One of Kentuckv's most successful
politicians was a very illterate man,
but man of strong common sense.
refer to Col. Joseph LeCompt. He
filled many important political offices
and several times represented this dis
trict in congress, being citizen of
Henry county, once in this congress
sional district. In one of his races his
competitor was Il Louisville lawyer,
Thomas q. Wilson, a college-bred man.
Col. LeCompt had been soldier in
the war of 1912 and fought at the dis
astrous battle of the River Raisin and
other battles of that war. He knew
nothing of the rules of grammar, and
cared less. Mr.. Wilson in one of his
speeches had rentured to say that the
people of the metropolitan district of
Kentucky should send an educated
man to congress-at least one who
did not constantly in his speeches and
conversation "butcher the kings
English. When LeCompt came to
reply he said: Il must admit that /
have never set my foot inside the walls
of a college or academy of learning;
while Mr.. Wilson was sitting in the
halls Of the academy and college ac-
quiring a polite education /, with my
knapsack on my back and my musket
on my shoulder, was up on the River
Rasin learning to butcher the kings
English" 1t is needless to say the
accomplished. butcher of the kings
English was returned to congress.

A Great Breach of Friendship.

On the death of celebrated French
journalist the following story was re-
lated of him, says the Boston Courier:
He was once very sick and the visiting
physician gave him up as lost. Il can
not do anything for you," he said; "you
must die" Another doctor was, how
ever, called ir, who succeeded in cur
ing him. The first time the conva-
lescent took stroll he met his first
doctor, who, greatly surprised, said he
thought him no more among the liv-
ing. "Well. you see," said the patient,
@when you left DR.. V. was called in,
and he succeeded in building me up
again" @Oh. well! we'll! A man
whom l thought my friend! Really it
was not at all nice in him."

Shot by Il Boy.

Saturday evening about dusk two men
came to the widow Gibson's house, near
Little Stone Cap, and said that Will Cau-
dill had been shot and that they wanted
some one to help them carry him TO his
house. On being asked how it happened
one of them replied carelessly.
80, reckon we did it accidentally"
Caudill was taken home and DR.. Mabe
was summoned who pronounced the wound
fatal one, as the bullet had entered near
the backbone and passed entirely through
his body.
The dying mans statement was that he,
in company with II. j. Sloan and j. NJ.
! Goforth was returning from Norton.
They came down the short way from the
top of Stone Mountain instead of by the
county road. He was walking in front
down the path when he noticed that Co.
forth and Sloan were whispering, and that
Sloan was brandishing revolver. Think
ing that something was wrong he stopped
and let them getaheadof him. After walk
| ing in this way for awhile the two sat
down and allowed him to pass ahead.
Then they got up and followed after him,
Sloan still waving the revolver about.
When they came into little hollow near
the foot Of the mountain the revolver was
dicharged and the bullet entered his back.
He said he thought that they intended to
kill him, but could give no reason why they
should wish to harm him us there had
been no,previous trouble between them.
Caudill was Il peaceable, easy going
farmer and had no enemies. While Sloan
has the reputation.o of being profession
al gambler, although he is only seventeen
years of age.
SQUIRE Newt Jones Of East Big Stone
Gap, hearing that G0forth and Sloan had
been released ON their swearing that the
shooting was done accidentally, made out
a warrant and sent Constable Bob Tate
out to hunt them up. Sloan rTas arrested
at l.. & N. Depot, just as he was leaving
the country and Goforth was found near
where the killing took place.
The examining trial was held Tuesday
morning before Squire Jones and both
men were bound over TO the grand jury.
