The Evidence Before the COro-

Again it is our painful duty to re-
cord one of the most reckless and
seemingly uncalled for killings that
has ever disgraced this county.
George Alexander, a quiet, peace
able, honest, Woodworking citizen,
was stabbed to death by English An
derson, one OF the most prominent and
progressive young farmers of the
county, and son of Corwin Ander-
son, deceased, SO well known in short
horn circles. The sickening details are
about as follows:
On Saturday evening George Alex
ander. his son Willie, John Mcdonald
and David Conley, all of whom live
in Mt. Sterling, were coming in to
town on their way home from the
residence of the late Harvey Hurt,
where they had been at work, paint
ing, and had reached the Maysville
pike only short distance this side of
the junction with the Paris pike.
There they met two wagons loaded
with lumber. A negro was driving
the front one and English Anderson
driving the wagon in the rear. Alex
ander and party were in a spring
wagon, heavily loaded with painting
materials and though they pulled off
the pike till their vehicle was against a
hedge at the side of the road and
called to the driver of the wagon
to keep to his side of the road, either
by accident or design the negro driver
seemed bent on running into them.
In answer to their warning, English
Anderson, who was on the rear wag-
on, called to the negro, "non't
give a id inch" At this Alex
ander jumped off his wagon and ran
to the head of the Negroes team.
simultaneously with Alexander's
spring from the wagon Anderson
jumped to the ground and ran around
the wagon, the two men meeting in
front of the teams. AS Anderson
came toward Alexander he ran his
hand inside the bosom of his shirt ;
he had on no coat or vest. Alexander
called out, "Don't draw pistol
on me-" at this the men came to,
gether and Alexander made grab at
Anderson's arm as if to catch it..
In a flash it was seen
that Anderson was using large
