FRENCH-EvERSOLE WAR.

The Kentucky Feud> Breaks Out in Perry
County.
CINCINNATI, June 1.-THE CONNER
cial Gazette's Barboursville, KY, spe-
cial says: The French. Eversole war
has again broken out at Hazard, Perry
county, and excitement is now at fever
heat. John Sexton, one of the leaders
on the Eversole side and son-in-law
of the late Judge J. H. Coombs, was
assassinated at his home in the suburbs
OF Hazard last Friday by his enemies,
the French faction. AS Sexton was an
important witness in the Fields Adkins
murder case against the French gang,
he has since been a marked man and
has only narrowly escaped several
times from the fate he met last Friday.
Since the killing Of Sexton the citizens
OF Hazard have been greatly alarmed
at the animosity existing between the
factions and how zealously each side
holds on to its arms. Serious trouble
is expected to result from the out
break

Incompetent.
SAN FRANCISCO, June l7.-George d.
Ross, formerly seaman in the United
States navy, was the principal witness
at the Colima investigation. He
thought Captain Taylor and the other
officers incompetent. adding that no ef.
fort had been made to save the pas
sengers or even warn them of danger,
and no effort had been made to set sail
aft or steady the vessel. He character
lied the statement Of Third Officer
Hansen that the boats were in proper
condition for lowering as q tissue of
lies only equaled by Hansen's other
false statements regarding the ship.
wreck. Ross says the Colima's boats
were swung in their chocks, with their
covers on, and lashed down and all
parts Of the fall strapped to the decks.
A cross-examination failed to shake
the positiveness of Ross testimony.

Claim Portion of the Town of Harrison.
an important ejcctment suit has
been fled in the Boone County cir
suit court.
10 is for the possession OF large tract Of
and on which the town OF Harrison Is situated.
Including the west side of the public square
and a large number Of residences The claim
ants are the children of the lately deceased To-
senzo d. Rush aud Capt W. +. Pace. Pace
having purchased the interest OF some Of the
heirs L. ID. Rush received a patent on
June ~ 1888 from the government for the prop
srty In question. January "a, 1869, Lorenzo ID.
Rush, being a widower made deed to his son,
Lorenzo ID. Rush, Jr., conveying him this land.
Lorenzo ID. Rush. Jr., died March 10, 1870, un-
married, and without issue. March 3d. 1870,
Lorenzo ID. Rush. ST., executed deed convey
ing said land TO another son, John II. Rush.
and the citizens OF Harrison now hold their
lands under deeds from John H. Rush.
ALLEGED MERITS OF THE CASE.
Cnder the laws of Arkansas. when Lorenzo
D. Rush Jr.. died without children, the land
would 20 back TO his father Lorenzo ID. Rush
Sr The question now is what kind Of an estate
did his father take. whether an estate for life
Or in fee simple. That depends upon
whether the transfer Of the land from
Lorenzo ID. Rush. Sr. to Lorenzo d.
Rush, Jr., was a transfer OF the property
upon consideration whether 1t was
gift. If he transferred # to his son, and the
son paid him q consideration for II. II would be
\ new acquisition under the law. and at the
death of the son life estate would revert 10
the father, and after his death then go TO the
brothers and sisters OF the said Lorenzo d.
Rush, Jr; but II the father made gift 10 the
son, then at the death Of the son the title
would revert to him in fee simple
THE MAIN CONTENTION.
So the main contention in the case Is as 10
the character OF the transfer. II it was gift
by the father to the son, then he had a right TO
transfer il to John Rush. his son. and John
Rush would have right to transfer it to any,
one. and the citizens would. therefore be Sc
sure in their titles The property involved is
estimated at 10000 II is claimed by the eiti-
zens OF Harrison that the transfer was gift.
