low. Collection OF II Debt.
ASHLAND, July 2.-Ia Carter county
there is intense excitement because Of
the appearance Of strangers, who
acknowledge their mission to bo
to collect the famous railroad tax
that has been in dispute for forty years.
This tax grows out of the k1nd issue of
5000 to the Elizabcthtown and Lcxing.
toI, and Big Sandy railroad, from Lexing-
ton to Cattlettsbury The company, after
securing the bonds, abandoned the pro-
ject selling the bonis at liberal dis
count to David Sinton, millionaire at
Cincinnati.
Through a mistake Of the county attor.
ney in drawing up the contract the road
escaped the liability for construction, and
their refusal to meet their agreement
gave rise to the contest that has ever since
been successfully maintained. All who
voted the bonds, save single resident
Of Carter county, are dead, and . $40 OF
the new generation have organized to re-
sist tho collection. Numerous attempts
have faiiel and it is now regarded as
worth mans life to attempt the collec-
ton.
Two months ago n deputy collector,
after making levy upon the property,
escaped being lynched by SOD people only
by slipping off in the night. The men
are determined that no collection shall
BE- made and openly announce it. Ii
Peck and his deputies resort to inpera.
tive measures there will bs bloody scenes.
All that Oils the matter from n crisis
now is n doubt of the sincerity Of the col.

LIFE IN KENTUCKY WILDS.
Series of Tragedies in which Death Claims
Two Men and Woman.

HoPKINsvILLE, July 2.-News has jus
reached here Of terrible tragedy in
Trigg county late Saturday evening.
Frank Co!ston, q desperate character re-
siding in that county, had n difficulty
with and shot and severely wounded
John Rhodes, a farmer of his neighbor-
hood. Another .f,rmer, named Ham
mond, who was Ps.sent and who was a
friend Of Rhodes, attempted to assist
Rhodes. Colstcn then shot and instant
ly killed Hammond before he could rem
der any assistance to his wounded friend.
For some reason Colston, after wound.
ing Rhodes, did not shoot him again,
probably thinking him dead. Colston did
not attempt to escape, nor did any one
attempt to arrest him, but he went on
where he was going when the difficulty
was begun. A few hours later Colston
in company with prostitute went to the
house OF another farmer. The farmer or
dered the desperado and the woman to
leave his place. They refused to do SO
and attacked the farmer, who secured u
weapon and succeeded in killing both
Colston and the woman.

SIOUX CITY, Ia July "A special from
Pender, Neb., to The Journal says there
is fear of n repetition Of the Barrett Scott
tragedy there as result of the Winnie
bago land trouble. A secret meeting of
settlers. il is claimed, was held Sunday
night at which n plot was entered into to
"remove" two persons obnoxious to the
settlers on account of their activity in the
land trouble ia favor of the Indians. The
proceedings were absolutely secret, but
enough leaked out to make the Pender
people apprchcnsivc. Captain Beck, pre-
suracd to be enc of the objects Of the al
legged conspirators' vengeance, is in the
city ana was interviewed. He declared he
discreditei reports of any plots to do vic.
lence to himself or any one else, but even
if such u conspiracy existed he was not
worried. and will carry out his intention
of dispossessing the illegal lessces.

OMAHA, July "A special to The Bee
from Pender: Neb, says: Yesterday was
the time the war department. and Cap.
tain Beck, the Omaha and Winnebago
Indian agent. had agreed upon to begin
the eviction of 2JO settlers whom Captain
Beck claims are illegally occupying the
Indian lands. The settlers were expecting
trouble, but not prepared to resist the
armed Indian police with arms. 1t de-
vclopcI that Il large number of them had
been over at the agency to make leases
with Captain Beck for the land which
they are farming this year.
VIII GIVE spec ulators a Warm Greeting.
They state, almost without exception,
that Captain Beck informed them that
their lands had been already leasei to
NJ klight, Ashford, or some other land
speculator. As 4 result the renters have
practically decided to stand together and
make no leases with land spectators.
They have organized to protect them
selves and crops and will use all legal
means to hold possession of the land they
now occupy. The land spectators will
surely meet warm reception if they at.
tempt to dispossess the tenants.

A Hoosier's Great wealth or Always
Ready Cash.
A landowner and cattle-raiser in
Warren county, Ind, died recently.
He had large tract of land devoted
exclusively to grazing, and his sales Of
cattle every year ran up to scores OF
thousands of dollars. Much Of this
money during the latter years Of his
life he invested in more land He
bought farms, cleared them Of their
buildings, and turned them into hay
fields and pasture-ground. His trans
actions, says the Cincinnati Times
Star, were always conducted on q cash
basis. Where he kept his money was
. mystery. At the time of his death
he had about eight Thousand acres Of
land, ranging in value from thirty-fve
dollars to one hundred dollars an acre.
He had been living alone on farm
about two miles from the county seat.
When on his death-bed with his chill
dren, who were all grown up and mar
ried, surrounding him, he said to them
that they would be surprised when
they opened the safe, small affair
which was In the room. When IL was
opened after the funeral II was found
to contain one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars That was his bank. He
had kept his money In the little safe in
his house, two miles In the country,
and had had large sums there for
years. Imagine what an easy prey
this would have been to q handful OF
burglars. Two or three men could
have taken II any night without the
slightest trouble. But he kept his %
