TWO DAYS WITHOUT A ROW.
Judge EversoIe Holding Court An Clay County. ky.-Wfh Now
 Take Up Bakers Gaze.

Manchester. Ky June s.-Judge Eversole has now held court in Clay county two days without disturbance. During the past two days he has at tended to other cases before bringing in Thomas Baker, charged with mur- der, but who has been out on bail. The feud between the Whites and the How ars on one hand and the Bakers and others on the other hand-the famlliss all having large followings-has ex- isted for years. According to common report the first bloodshed was when the Bakers bushwhacked old man "Bar' Howard. Wilson Howard and Burch Starr. Then James Howard shot old man Baker and finally Thomas Baker killed William White, broth CT of B. F. White. Jr., the sheriff of the county. Of course, Tom Baker would not take kindly to being brought into court by Sheriff White, and Judge Eversole assigned that duty to Col. Williams. who is in command of the state troops that have been sent here to preserve peace. Sheriff White insists that Baker will be protected and peace preserved. and he thinks he can get along without the troops that are en- camped here for the trial.

VICTIM OF BUBONIC PLAGUE.
Death from Plague of the Gyp.y. Rigo, Just as Princess Chimay
 Had Given Him Twin Sons.

Cairo, June S.-Princess Chimay gave birth to twin boys, Monday, in the beautiful villa that she had rented for her gypsy in the suburbs If Alexan- dria, and Rigo was host to all who would drink his wine, and he even mounted a pedastal in the porch to improvise wild melodies on his violin.
 It was the last time Janesi Rigo was to play his violin. In the night. when he was still rejoicing over the sons that had been born to him. a change came over him, and his com. panions fled from the place-for they knew the signs of the pestilence.
 Rigo was the first European to be stricken with the bubonic plague which has caused Egypt to be auar. antlned. Science could do nothing for him. His manner of life since winning the reckless princess and her money had left him no strength to fight dis ease. His wife called for him con. tinually. Tuesday morning he was told that he must die. Swiftly he sank. until toward sunset, then the end came.
 Opium is keeping his American wid- ow from knowledge of the tragedy that has come to crown her wayward career. All her servants but one have fled, fearing the plague. No one ap- breaches the house save the English physicians. The authorities have es- tabiished a strict quarantine there. Rigo's body was cremated Tuesday. The villa has been fumigated. and the unconscious woman is being narrowly observed for symptoms of the plague Europeans and Americans in Alexan. dria and here are greatly alarmed al the disease having spread beyond the native ranks.
