The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1894-02-06

A curious, but by no means an
unwholesome, bill has been intro,
duced into the Massachusetts Leg
islature. The bill provides that
no one holding a liquor license
shall accept pay of one person for
liquor furnished another customer.
The object os the proposed law is
evident. 1t is plainly blow at
the American custom Of treating.
This prattice is almost unknown in
Europe. In many parts of the
country there have been "anti-
trating societies. formed, but this
is the first time so far as we have
heard, that an attempt has been
made to curb the practice by law.
There is not much probability of
the bill being enacted, but it is IA
step in the right direction, and
a few more severe blows could be
struck at the drink habit than Il
universal adoption of such law.

The four parties charged with
the killing were arrested immc-
diately after the shooting and their
examining trial set for 9 o'clock
tomorrow.
The origin Of the trouble dates
back some years. Captain Bomar
accused Clay Turner Of debauch-
ing his wife, and had made divers
threats against the man he claimed
had broken up his home. On more
than one occasion, Captain Bomar
had made Il murdcrous attack on
Turner, and he has only been pre-
vented from killing him by the in
PREVENTION Of bystanders. 1t has
been IA recognized fact for some
time past that Turner must either
kill Bomar, be killed himself, or
leave here. For some months past
Mr.. Turner has kept away from
the town, and we understand has
been out of the State. But his
duties as receiver Of the MOntgOm-
cry Circuit Court brought him
back here during this term, and he
has kept himself surrounded by
those who would protect him from
the maddened man. He knew the
desperate character Of the man

who had grown insanely possessed
of the idea that his enemy must

Turner evidently did his best tc
avoid BOmar. Mr.. Turner denies
emphatically that Bomar had any
cause to charge him with Destroy
ing his home, and says he has been
placed in the hard position Of hay
ing to kill man from no fault Of
his. Mr.. Turner came here from
West Liberty, Morgan county, and
has exhibited so far, as this COM
munity knows only the qualities Of
gentleman and good business
man. Mr.. Turner's friends are
very emphatic in their denial of
the charge Captain Bomar brought
against him. Certain it is, Turner
was compelled to shoot to save his
own life. We have nothing but
sympathy for Turner 50 far as his
defense of himself is concerned.
Nor are we going to too severely
condemn his brother for wanting
to aid him. 1t may be that under
the awful stress of the moment
both Clay and Bruce Turner
did that in shooting man,
when he was down, which seems
exceedingly revolving to us, when
we view it in cool blood, but we
have not been placed under similar

shall we say of the other two men

LONDON, Jan. 5.-The sever cold con-
tinues throughout Great Britain, in
many places the thermometer register
ing the lowest point known, while the
lowest reported temperature to-day is
five to ten above,sit involves as much
suffering as would a temperature of
twenty degrees below zero in the United

pared for such g terrible cold wave II
the result is that the suffering among
the poor is intenee. Many cases of
death from exposure are already report
ed and outdoor work has been almost
entirely suspended.
In Lincolnshire two men were found
frozen to death and many of the roads
are covered with snow drifts ten feet
high. In several parts of England rail-
road trains have been imbedded in the
snow for hours, and on the lale OF

DIR Greene is our most successful

such a vast amount of good all over the
