style lamp has been put into use in a
number of towns IN the state for ,llum-
mating with gasoline. Mr.. Meyers says

that under the law it is not the duty of
the state inspector to forbid such use of
gasoline, and be has dropped the matter
entirely.

COUNTRY WITH ONE POLICEMAN

There is one country in the world.
and probably only one, which gets
along with a single policeman; that Is
Iceland. Iceland is peopled by the de-
scendants of Vikings, including many
famous warriors and heroes. but they
are so law-abiding that they have no
need of policemen. The solitary Off
Ger. in spite Of his great responsibility.
has a very easy time. He is main
tanned more for ornament and dignity
than for use. The Icelanders think IL
would not do TO have a capital with
out a policeman. and so they keep one.
This police force is large in one sense.
Its member is six feet high. broad
shouldered. and handsomely uni
formed.

A PITCHED BATTLE.
Five Men Killed in Clay County,
Kentucky, Monday.
Renewal Of feud Which Broke Out,
Christmas Day, 1897.
Whole Section in Terror and Officers Con-
spicuous by Their Absence.

Louisville, Ky, July IA special to
the Courier Journal from London, Ky.
tells of report reaching there of the
outbreak of another feud in Clay
county, Monday, by which five men lost
their lives. today. The dead are said
to be: Robert Philpot, Ed Fisher,
Aaron Morris, Jim Griffin. Hugh Grif-
fin. The fatalities resulted from a
pitched battle fought near Little Goose
creek, three miles from Manchester.
The feud dates back nearly two years.
ON Christmas. 1897, James Philpot was
killed by Aaron Morris, but before he
died he shot and killed VIM. Bundy Il
friend of Morris. The Morris and Grif-
fin families were closely affiliated.
Since then the feeling between the two
factions has been very bitter and it
has been aroused recently by the
White Baker hostilities. The Philpots,
who are the strongest faction i'll the
mountains, numbering about $50 voters,
openly espoused the cause of the Bak-
crs, while the Griiins took sides with
the Whites.
The story that reaches here from
Manchester is TO the effect that Bod
Philpot was arrested. this morning. by
Deputy Sheriff Thacker. While very
circumstantial in other respects the re
port does not show clearly the origin of
the trouble nor give the reason for
Philpot's arrest.
IL il said that while Thacker was tax
ing Phiipot's hand the latter was Shot
from behind BY member of Il crowd that
