BLOOD LIABLE
TO Be SPILLED
Citizens Organize an Army 10 Meet the Tax
Collector.
KENTUCKY IN ANOTHER conflict
The Tax Collector Says That He Has
a Force of Determined Men Armed
to the Teeth and He Declares That
He VIII Get the Money or Trouble
Will Ensue A Grave Crisis in
Union County.

STURGIs, KY, Sept. "a
IN F Captain Blackwell carries out his
threat there is going to be much
bloodshed In this vicinity in the
u next forty-eight hours. Blackwell
has declared lie will collect the bond
tax, andI the taxpayers solemnly de-
clare that he will not. Preparations
on both sides are very warlke.
The big cannon at Dskoven,
which did service in the civil
war, was rolled into position
yesterday and rammed to the muzzle
with powder and slugs, It was placed
on the crest OF hill which commands
the entrance to the precincts affected
by the tax. At the approach of the
posse it will be fred. and its discharge
will be the signal for the people to
form ranks and meet the enemy. Tho
situation is critical, and an armed COL
lision is almost certainty.
Captain Blackwell was appealed to
by the ministers yesterday to give up
his project, but he was deaf to the en-
treaties, and announced his intention
Of collecting the tax He said:
"My men are ready, and my guns,
which were ordered from Boston, have
arrived. Where they are stored I re-.
fused to state. When we start also
decline to say, not wishing to give my
plans away to the enemy. Those peo.
Pile owe that tax and must pay it. As
for the bullets they have for us, /
guess con stand them, as none OF the
men take will be other than men who
have stood fire."

ton aud board of her son. Robert, at
the Keystone academy. Fenner did
not pay the boys board; in fact, &C.
cording to the statement of Mrs Carey,
he proved recreant to every trust re-
posed in him.
Yesterday, with her husband, she
went before Alderman Fitzsimmons
and had warrant sworn out for Fen
ner for obtaining money under false
pretenses. At the hearing last night
Fenner entered bail in the sum Of $500
to appear at court Robert Carey. the
SON. testified that during the winter Of
1893. when he was penniless and hun,
cry, he would have frozen and
starved on the street but for
the kindness of boetblacks. When
the boy besought Fenner for
assistance he turned him away with
an excuse. While the boy was at Fac
toryville for three terms, his tuition
and board was liquidated by Mrs.
Charles Manness, Of this city.
After the case was heard before the
