The J. Man in the Estate of Casey

II was not my intention to torture our
readers with a letter on this trip, but our
excellent correspondent, Mr.. f Tsrrant,
was too busy filling orders for his splen-
did history of the FIRST Kentucky Cavsl.
~ TO send communication this week,
and as a substitute for his good letters |
offer this feeble effort.
Monday Was the fret day Of circuit
court and the usual large crowd was in
attendance. IL was horse show day too
another attraction which always
proves a drawing card in this land
where the equine is universally admir-
ed. The show was hardly up to the
standard, although there were dozen or
more stations on exhibition. Lincoln
county, strange to cay, was not repre-
sented by a single horse, but several
owners were on hand distributing litera.
ture, interesting only to breeders.
There were two murder cases on the
docket, Allen for killing Barlow and
Dsvers for the murder OF Purdom, both
OF which will likely be tried this court.
There were also the usual number Of
whisky cases, which were being rapidly
DISPOSED OF when | left Concealed wea-
pom cases also occupy a good portion Of
the docket The women as well as the
men violate this law and on Tuesday a
Miss Hester was fined f25 and given 10
days in Jail for packing a pop" 1t is
nothing unusual for the defendant to
plead his own cause in the minor cases
and some Of the questions propounded
are indeed amusing.
Three Of Lincoln's best citizens were
/ indicted at the last term and are to be
/ tried this court. They are Messrs. Cic-
ero Reynolds and George S. Mckinney,
of Mckinney, for killing quail before the
law expired and Mr.. James Harper, Of
Hustonville, who is charged with dis
turbing the peace The latter is a very
plain piece of malice and he will come
out all right, but the bird hunters may
catch it for a email amount.
Casey has had a number Of burglaries
lately and in each case the scamps fonnd
and appropriated money. 10 one night
the residences OF Messrs. T. w. Wash,
Lincoln Wells, J. ID. Brown and Col.
Lanham were raided and the total
amount stolen IN axes right snug sum.
Mr.. Wash's gun, which. was sitting at
the head OF his bed, was missing, but
was found next day on his farm.
Green river is being fished day and
night now and some good ones are / icing
caught. John b. Carpenter, an old STAN
ford man, a man told me that he ire
ouently goes out few moments before
breakfast and catches enough fish for his
score or more of mill hands. Judge r.
]. Breckenridge, DR.. Orear and.Mr. Scott
Veteran, OF Dsnville, who are quarter
ed at Mr.. John w. Moore's are doing a
good deal of fishing, but their success
has not been quite so good as that OF Mr..
Carpenter.
The bank question is being agitated
and it looks very probable thatione will
be organized before long. Mr.. George
A. Prewitt is the principal mover in Lib
erty, but there are many :prominent
men all over the county, who heartily
endorse his actions.
Messrs. Robertl Fenzsl and A. J, carp,
who are repsiring, watches and taking
pictures respectively, are both doing

Portman & Bros store, while the latter
has front room in the Exchange Hotel.
They are both good workmen and de-

Liberty is destined to hsvelpoor mail
facilities it seems. For years her mail
was put off at Kingsville and drought to
Yosemite by the jerkwater train, hall
the time, more or less, however, it fol-
some reason did,not arrive and now since
the route has been changed it is also
very irregular. The Cincinnati train
was little late Monday afternoon and
as consequence the goodIpeople got nc
mail, but were compelled to wait 2
hours longer for it.
1t is astonishing lwhat an immense
amount OF lumber has been taken out o.
Casey county and STILL the supply il
abundant. / will wager that there are
enough ties at Yosemite now Ito supply
all the railroads that will built in Ken

told me that he had received over lO,OO(
during the last month and that he hadn'
made shipment since. Christmas.
