Blue-grass blade., 1892-02-13

The above is reproduced, punct-
uation and all, just as it was in
the Kentuckian Citizen.
Two issues of Craddock's pa
per have appeared since the libel
Gus article was printed and no
correction of it was made, until he
got the notice from my attorneys;
and there seems no reason to be-
lieve that any correction ever
would have been made, except
for the prudential reasons sug-
gested by the fact that the letter
of inquiry was from an attorney.
The accounts of some balls at
the Lunatic Asylum at Lexing-
ton to which the &c. alludes,
and which | attended and wrote
up as a reporter for the Lexing-
ton Transcript, can not have been
more than five or Elk years ago.
Col. Craddock has known me
intimately. for, suppose, twenty
years, aud has accepted the hos
pitslity of my house; and from
further back than the time l
wrote about the Lexington Luna
tic Asylum, has been quoting in
his paper what he knew / had
written in different newspapers.
But to give him every chance
tor his white alley l will admit
the possibility, even under these
circumstances, of his having been
deceived into the belief that [ ha 1
been ali "inmate of the lunatic
asylum" "partly" by the fact that 1
had reported some balls at the
lunatic asylum; and then l will
ask what was the remaining part
from which he got the "impres
sion" that l had been the 'in-
mate of the lunatic asylum"
There is something very "child-
like and bland" about the way
Craddock alludes to his personal
identity, and that of "Sarah. Nor
gan"
1t was "a good enough Nor
gan," for me whether or not there
had been any such individual as
"Sarah Morgan" ON eartt :or 1

time, had any number of wine bar
rels full of choice wines in his
cellar. He also kept barrel of
the best whisky that money could
buy. He drinks as much as any,
and is duck to write against
Prohibition editor even If he is era
zy and had been in an asylum. 1t is
we'll known here that - spent
over $8,0OO.OO in his late race for
the legislature, beside his whisky
bills etc. He writes about being
such pious good church mem
Der along with 1900 other good
pure members in Paris Christian
church. Don't he say something
about their all being true and
united, and none of them ever
having had a cross word?
Why, bless your heart, the very
mana brother deacon to whom
he intrusted his SS,OO0.00 CAM
paign fun, he don't speak to.
Why. my dear Mr.. you
surely forget that you and Bro.
H are dead against one an
other now and all because you
thought. Bro. H cabbaged
some of your good money.
Mr.. - put up lots of whisky
too and did the toppy thing, by
taking some with the boys
The other side may have done
it too, but they are not hankering
to write up good Bro. Moore, who
is doing more good for Lexington
Georgetown and Paris than all the
preachers and churches combined
This Bro. is sorier crank J
too. He sold the best farm in tn,
county and moved to town t.
spend his estate writing for thu
papers, writing "Wandering West
ward" running for office, abusing
other people, trying to run thu
Blade off the track etc. He hasn'
a neighbor in his old neighborhoo,
that is friendly with him, unless
am badly mistaken. He was one
going to build big distiller,
along with another Christian
church deacon and a Methods
brother, and the Methodist peopl
told the Methodist brother If h
r built that distillery they woul,
hoist him, and they bluffed hin
But this Bro. - wanted tn
Methodist brother to go ahead
that "our church wont mind it bu
would glory in his spunk in NO
letting little handful of Metho
dists bulldoze him."
Bro. Moore 1 aint much on tn

SUIT FOR DAMAGEs.-A suit has
been filed in the Circuit Court by
Mr.. Chas. o. Kenny against Mr..
c. c. Moore editor the Blue Grass
Blade. In September last the lat
terwrote and had printed in his
paper a severe article about ga
man who for three or four years
he (the editor had been trying to
save from a life of drunkenness by
giving him a home," etc. No
name was called, but everybody
in this section who saw the article
knew that Kenny was the person
referred to. After its publication,
Mr.. Kenny wrote letter to the
editor, and the reply of the latter
furnished the ground for the suit
Mr.. Kenny fixes his damages at
$4,000. Although the paper is
printed in Lexington, the editor
makes his home i'll Georgetown.
The parties are related by mar

Bruce is just the kind of a man
Jesus would want to see, and the
kind of a man he did associate
with whileIon earth.
You never heard of his going
to a preachers house, and they
said against him all the time that
he was the "friend OF sinners.
He didn't run with the bankers
and the aristocracy. and when
they got up a progressive euchre
party in those days with "punch
in cut glass" for the pillars of the
church, Jesus was not "in it,"
They didn't send him a card with

If Jesus Christ had come to
Lexington few weeks ago, be-
fore Clay Calvert died, he would
have gone around 10 Calvert's
capenter shop, and he would not
have talked about religion all the
time either. They would have
talked about carpenters work.

ago and said he wanted to take
the stump for Prohibition, but
that they would use his religious
opinions against him, and he

against G. G. Moore in the Circuit
Court at Georgetown, for SO, 900
damages, by Charles Kenny. Mr..
Moore lives in Scott county with
his family, hence the filing of the
suit at its capital. Kenny files a
letter written to him by Moore
last September, and alleges that
he has been damaged by said let
ter to the extent of $4,000.
Moore at one time published a Sc
we're article in the Blade about
some man being drunk, which did
not name Kenny, but every person
who knew the man, recognized
the person described to be Kenny,
who after its publication wrote a
letter to Moore, and the latter's

The murder OF "Bud" Taylor by the
Kid and his band Of renegados has been
since ito preparation, tho principal
topic Of conversation in this city. De-
ceased was well known throughout this
section and was universally liked. HIS
three sisters, Mechanics Gassoway, Hath
away aud May, are oil residents Of Dem
ing. Taylor had been hunting in tho
vicinity Of Grey's ranch in the Animas
valley in company with a companion
named Billingsby, and about 100 miles
southwest Of Deming. While the valley
is we'll known to be a favorable resort OF
the Indians, the presence Of General
McCook's troops inspired confidence,
and it was never thought that Kid
would have the audacit5 TO come right
in among the troops. Taylor and Bill
lingsby had separated. Billingsby hear
ing a shot, supposed that Taylor bad
brought down some game and hurried
toward him TO ascertain his luck.
Reaching an elevation, no was Mortified
to sec his companion lying dead with
two Indians bending over the body and
stripping 1t Of everything Of value. Bill
ingsby fired at the murderers and they
Immediately started toward him. Soc
ing that resistance was useless, he fed
to the surrounding foothills and made
good his escape. Late ia the day he gave
the alarm to the cowboys about the Hag.
GIN Hearst ranches, and the body OF Tay-
Tor was recovered and given burial neal
the Cunningham ranch where rect the
three other men who have died by the
same hands. He had been shot from
behind, and never had a chance 10 offer
resistance or attempt to save his life
That same night the horses on the Hae.
gin-Hearst ranges were stampeded and
80 head stolen by the savages. A posse
OF cowboys was organized early Saturday
morning, and after a days pursuit the
Indians were forced to abandon the stocl
and take refuge in the mountains neal
the international line. Nineteen of the
horses were recovered, but the cowboys
did not dare give pursuit into the noun
tains, fearing an ambush. The trail o
the savages from the scene of the muir
der across the line was plainly marked
by the carcasses of cattle, with the hint
quarters cut OUT, strewn along. Th,
Indians are supposed to have crossed in
to Old Mexico.
