from the shock and began 10 realize the
immcnsity Of the confession, a suppress
ed mnrmur rippled oven the crowd.
This soon rose TO billow OF excitement
which was increased by the falling OF
some Of the temporary scaifods which
had been erected at the windows on the
outside. Everybody seemed to he ex-
cited but Mike and Dan Tierney, the
accused murderers They sat motionless
as statues. their faces as expressionless as
a wall. Not until their aged father,
Mike Tierney, Sr., had crossed the bar
and grasped his sons by the hands did
they seem to realize what load had
been lifted off their shoulders by the con
f.ssion. The action OF Mr. Tierney acted
as starter, and soon the bar was crowd
ed with friends Of the Tierney boys try
ing to get TO shake their hands and cx-
tend congratulations.
After quiet was restored warrant was
issued for Dan Burk and he was placed
under arrest Court then adjourned until
nine o'clock Saturday morning
The news of the turn that affairs had
taken soon spread all over town, and it
was the sole topic Of discussion. Men
were gathered in crowds on the streets,
in saloons in stores and at the hotels,
and many were the surmises as to how
Burk came TO commit the deed. In max
ing his confession Burk had only said
that he did il
IN SELF DEFENSE,
but gave no particulars. One rumor was
that Cartwright was killed in game of
cards. Another was that there was girl
mixed up in the case and still another
that Cartwright met Burk in the road
and attacked him with knife. All these
were mere conjectures, however, and il
anybody positively knew anything he
did not divulge the secret.
Lawyers were puzzled as well as ordi-
uary individuals The action of Dan
Burk was unprecedented in the history
of the criminal annals of the country. We
have read in fiction where, in some deep
laid plot, the innocent we're about to be
punished for some terrible crime, when
just in the nick OF time the plot would be
discovered or the william would repent and
confess, and thus save the accused. We
have probably seen plays upon the stage
where innocent parties were on trial for
their life, and just before the death SEN
tence was passed the guilty man, with
disheveled hair and tragic air." would
rush in and demand that the sentence be
staid, saying, ~ am the guilty man. y
All these are OF frequent occurrence
within the pages OF cheap fiction, but il
has remained for il to first occur in fact
right here in the city Of Cloverport.

THE Democratic party made long and
united effort TO get into power that they
might have an opportunity to repeal
some OF the ubiquitous tariff laws. Now
that they are in power and that there is
to be an extra session Of Congress, will
they take any steps TO revise the tariff
So far nothing has been said in regard to
the matter, but it is believed the party
will keep its pledge to the people and so
soon as it may be practicable, begin work
on the tariff law. 1t was upon this issue
that Mr.. Cleveland made his fight and
won last November, and the party will
certainly unite with him in making the
reform and giving the people the relief
they demand. Let us be patient at least
until the time arrives for prompt and
decisive action There isso much work
and so many reforms to be handled by
the present Administration that relief
will come slowly. In the pension de-
partment, the work OF eradicating unjust
claims has already begun and the saving
to the people in the one department OF
the government may reach many mil
lions. Truly the way seems clear for a
general cleaning up, and all that Grover
and the boys seem to want is little
elbow ROOM

Last Wednesday about noon Sheriff
Baker, Of Hancock county, arrived in this
city with Mike Tierney, whom he had
found and arrested at his home near Vic
toria. Late in the afternoon Deputy
Sheriff Clark, of Hancock county, arrived
with Dan Tierney, whom he had arrested
at his home in Deanfeld.
Ii will be remembered that these are
the two men whom the Coroner's jury
accused of the murder of Joseph Cart
wright, near Victoria, on Saturday night,
July Sth.
Those who read the BREcKENRIDGE
News last week, which contained the first
published account OF the murder, will re-
member that the body of Joseph Cart
wright was found Sunday morning at a
spring near his home with bullet hole
in the left breast, which had caused his
death. He had been TO a picnic at Mike
Tierneys the day before and had fought
with Dan Tierney. After he had gone to
his home the Tierney boys, and espec-
tally Dan, had violently threatened the
life of Cartwright and tried to procure a
gun with which to do the work. These
facts being brought out at the Coroner's
inquest, the jury decided that the Tier
neys had committed the terrible crime
and accordingly warrants were issued foi
their arrest.
