SIX YEARS IN \ CAVERN.
The Refuge of u Man Who Fled
from Home to Avoid the
Officers of the Law.

HINDMAN. Ky, March 22.-ln
1890 Aaron Pinston, farmer of this
county, aged 53 years, was, indicted
by the Knott County Circuit Court
for hog stealing. Pinston had large
family, but when the officers went TO
arrest him they were told that he had
left home the night before, going to-
warl the mountains. His family did
not become alarmed for some time,
thinking that he would return. Fail
ing to hear from him, they succeeded
in getting the indictment set aside,
but still nothing could be heard of
him. He was finally given up as
dead, and his widow married.
Last week, while hunting on Carr's
Fork near its mouth, some men saw
smoke coming from under large rock
on the side of a steep mountain. and
place so difficult of access that no one
ever ventured TO it. They started in
search Of the spot from where the
smoke was issuing, and with some
difficulty reached the place.
They were Mortified at what they
saw. Lying wrapped in skins near
fire was an old man who had APP
parently been dead not more than
twenty-four hours Under the rocks
he had dug away the earth, and with
sticks and stones had built him a
warm and commodious little room.
The foor was laid will skins of sheep,
hogs and cattle. The walls we're also
lined inside with skeepsklns, and cot
made Of logs and skins was on one
side. Near wa% fireplace in which
the re was still some wood burning.
He had no cooking utensils, no gun,
and 10 axe, and it was mystery how
he had managed to kill the animals.
Upon investigation it was found that
there was narrow path winding
around the side of the mountain, and
at Il point near Pinst0n's little house
the path hor'lered on a precipice, and
fifty feet below were lot OF broken
stone. 1t is supposed that Pinston
would either stand in a crevice in the
rock and knock the animals from the
path onto the stones below with
large stick, or that he would climb up
the side OF the mountain some twenty
feet and roll down large stones on his
prey when the opportunity presented
itself.
The hair of the man hung over his
shoulders. and was almost perfectly
white, while his beard was very long
and gray. 1t was with difficulty that
Pinston was identified His body was
buried by his relatives.

IN the smallest country villages. Liquor
can be sold on Sunday only in hotels and
with meals. All local excise boards are
wiped out of existence and the execu-
ton of the law is confded to state cx-
else commissioner and force of assis-
tants, whose salaries and expenses will
boot up about $3.50, 900 annually.
The bill is modelled after the Ohio law,
though there are important differences
The bill has not yet been signed by the
Governor and there is a difference of opin-
ion as to his attitude toward it. Appar-
entity the opposition to the bill is base d
chiefly on the fact that Mr.. PIatt favored
it. certain proportion Of the New
York papers oppose everything that
Platt favors without regard to its merits.
They profess to be afraid in this
case that the excise commissioner
and his assistants provided for
by the bill will be under the con-
troll of Platt and will be turned into a
powerful political machine Had Patti
certain that these same newspapers would
have had little fault to find with it.
Find ont where Platt is and get as far
away as possible, seems to. be the guild
ing principle of considerable number of
political leaders in the Empire State,
though the regularity with which theylare
defeated when they appeal to the people
in the state shows that their following
is not numerous. The New York Even
ing Post, while Of course fearing Platt's
influence, oonfesses that the bill con-
tains many desirable provisions. It
says:
Undoubtedly the most benefoent fea-
tuTe OF the bill is the high rates of taxa
ticn which it imposes. We have for many
years been endeavoring to get a higher
license fee for this city, but have never
succeeded in getting it above $3.50. The
Raines bill ieyieS tax of $500 on every
saloon and place where liquor is sold to
b G drunk on the premises, and $500 on
every place simply selling. In Brooklyn
these rates are $3.50 and $500; in Buffalo
and cities of that class $500 and $500, and
so on down to 500 and $50 in the small
est villages and towns. There can be no
question that these rates vii be of inesti-
ole value in emitting down the number
of places selling liquor, thereby mitiga-
ting the baleful influences of the traffic.
Then, TOO, very valuable provision for
the large cities is the one which forbids
the sale Of liquor on premises within 200
feet of the nearest entrance to a buildin
or buildings occupied exclusively for
dwellings,, unless the written consent of
two-thirds of the owners of all such
buildings shall be obtained. All sales on
Sunday are forbidden, not only in sa-
looms, hut by all persons, corporations, as

Even the Cincinnati Comm ercial- Ga
zatte published in MoKinley's own state
is troubled with the prospect Of making
high protection the chief and only issue
N the next campaign. 1t says:
We warn the managers of the Republi-
can party that q campaign exclusively on
the Issue Of high protection is one fraught
with danger. The issue of protection was
practically settled by the adoption of the
Wilson bill. Such notifications of that
bill as will give to wool and wooden
goods, and other articles the protection
that the Democratic South saw that the
Southern industries wanted, will be ad-
ded by the Republican party in the next
Congress for the whole country, and the
Dill wilsbe signed by the next Republi-
can President. Added to protection will
come reciprocity. But an extreme tariff
policy vi! drive from the support of the
Republican party those states that repud-
lated the Mckinley tariff in 1882
The Commercial Gazette is also dissat
isfied with the plank Of the Ohio con-
vention on the financial question. 1t
calls it lodging, and wants to know
what Is tbs use Of trying to do that. 1t
says the plank was adopted because it
was ambiguous-it might have added
with equal truth that it was adopted be-
cause the Mckinley managers thought it
would conciliate the silver ,Repu blicans
of the west without affronting the sound
money Republicans of the East The
prospect is, however, that it will not
suit either wing.

There has been a good deal of talk
among Mr.. McKinley's supporters about
his being the candidate of the people
par excellence, and attempts have been
made to discredit some of the other
candidates, because Mr.. Platt or Mr..
Quay or Mr.. Clarkson was supposed to
nrefsr them to the Ohio man. But I'M
less MIR. Platt is An outrageous falsifer,
Mr.. MoKinley's principal manager, Mr..
Marcus Hanna of Cincinnati, was not
only wiling, but exceedingly anxious to
get the support of Boss Platt, SO anx-
ious indeed that he was ready to make
pledges for his principal which if au-
thorized by the latter, far transcribed the
bounds of propriety, to say the least
'"This agent" says Mr.. Platt. "made
every promise that he could think of,
and when 1 refused to accept them he
pledged that Mr. Mckinley should
come to New York, and in the presence
. OF witnesses confirm all that he said -
Unless Mr.. McKinley's representative
can show that tn is is untrue or Mr.. Nc

Cavalry in the Waterloo Campaign
By General Sir Evelyn Wood This book
will be found acceptable to the military
student of the Waterloo campaign and to
the general reader. The author has sue
ceeded in separating the movement and
action of the cavalry from the other arms
of the service so that the reader gets a
clear idea of the functions of that most
important branch of the French and
it was used in most lavish and effec-
tive manner. The author briefly mar
rates the events proceeding the campaign
the triunphal progress of Napoleon
after landing from EIba; the rapidity
with which he organized an army of over
200, 000 men and concentrated 1T on the
Belgian frontier; the character of that
army and of the leaders of it, and of the
allied army and its leaders; the crossing
of Sambre by the French the defeat of
the Prussians at Ligny on the 10th CT
June; the check of Ney at Quatrs Bras
by the allied army under Wellington tho
same day. In these engagements prelim-

and so desperately fought as at Waterloo
The author has depicted the movement
Of every troop of cavalry on both sides
not in the dramatic and inaccurate man
ner of many other writers, but with the
care and painstaking zeal of student.
The special movements of the cavalry
in this campaign are fully illustrated by

Gen. Wood does not agree with the
opinion held by most recBnt writers that
the rapid firing and long range of modern
guns and small arms has destroyed the
efficiency of cavalry as cavalry. and rem

CHARLES G. JENNISCH,

Last Tuesday morning this COM
munity was saddened to learn of the
death of Charles G. Jennisch, second
son of c. III. Jennisch, of this place.
He was born in this city March 81,
1858, and lived here with his family
until nine years ago, when he moved
to Sioux City, and worked at the
blacksmith trade, which he had learned
under the direction of his father.
Several weeks ago he was taken ill
with pneumonia, which resulted in his
death. His brother Harry, who was
with him at the time of his death, and
Joseph Hutchinson accompanied the
remains to DEBORAH, the funeral SER
vices being held at st. Benedict's
Catholic church Thursday morning,
Rev. Father Garrahan officiating. He
was buried in the Catholic cemetery,
in the presence of large number of be-
reaved friends.
Six members of the family survive
him, his father, G. H., two brothers,
Will and Harry, and three sisters,
Grace, Anna and Mrs. Frank Hutchin-
son.
Some very beautiful flowers were
sent for the funeral from friends i'm
Sioux City, and also i'm DEBORAH.
