BILL" STRONG SHOT DEAD.


Captain William Strong, the greatest
mountain fighter in eastern Kentucky, died
with his boots on q few days ago, after hav-
Ing successfully lodged ride bullets for
twenty-five years. He had left his home,
which is about ten miles east OF
Jackson, to go to the house Of q
leighbor, and had been gone only q
few minutes when his family was startled
by shooting, which appeared to be not more
than half a mile away. Members OF the
family ran toward the place where the
sound OF shooting was and found Strong
dead IN the roadside, seven bullets having
penetrated his body.
Strong was lying on his back with his
revolver in his right hand. The revolver
had barely been drawn from his pocket
when a bullet broke the arm. Not q shot
had been fired from the revolver.
Investigation showed that q blind had
been constructed In a place Immediately
above the road commanding a full view OF
the ~thoroughfare for a distance OF several
hundred yards. Scraps OF bread and.neat
were found behind the blind, and c.ner
signs which showed that several men had
been hiding there for Strong.

GREAT MEN
From The Leavenworth Herald.l

There are droves of leading col
ored men" from the various States
who have gone to Washington, D. c.,
and camped. The majority of these
notables are not known outside of the
county in which they live, when at
home; but they are off at Washington
posing as great men. Some of them
will become so seedy that they will
have TO borrow money to return home
on. nmost cases, the fellows who are
fiocking to Washington deserve and
should receive nothing. Had they, as a
unit, given one-forth of the time to the
campaign that they are contributing in
loafing around Washington, and pos
inc as great men, the result in many
States would have been different.
