with the rifle and did great execution in
the battle with the Griffins.
The fighting Philpets,' as they are
called, are unlike many other fighting IA
miles, in that they do not seek trouble.
In all their many fights they have been
absolutely on the defensive. Rather than
to bring on trouble they have persistentIy
refused to become the attacking party,
even when their lives have been in jeo-
pardy, and they have always waited for
their enemies to open the battles. But
after the fights are started the Philpots
do not hesitate to do that which they con-
ceive to be their full duty, and that is to
Kill as many Of the enemy as possible
They do not become excited under fire and
they are on that account able to handle
their weapons with accuracy and effec-
ttveness. Unlike other mountain fighters
the Philpots do not fight from ambush
They believe in open battles, and they
are willing to give their enemies a fair
show for their lives. Fighting is the last
thing the Philpots want to do, but when
there is no other alternative, they make
war with a vigor that is refreshing to
those who believe in the survival of the
httest. Personally the Philpots are among
the most hospitab'e and good-natured citi-
zens of Eastern Kentucky and they treat
strangers with the greatest considera ton
and kindness. They are good neighbors.

attorney General Decides Powers
of War Department Are Limited.
WASHINGTON, July 2S-In response to
requests from the secretary of war At
torney General Griggs today rendered
three opinions as to the rights and du-
ties of the war department with respect
TO certain concessions or franchises on
the island Of Porto Rico The first re-
lates to en- alleged concession for the
construction of a tramway from Ponce to
Port Ponce, claimed to have been hereto
fore granted to Messrs. Usera. The sec
rotary of war asked whether, under the
evidence submitted, a lawful concession
to construct such tramway had been
granted to them, and if so, whether it
would be proper for him to confirm the
concession. After an examination of the
evidence submitted the attorney general
hclds that the concession claimed Is not
a complete and vested right or franchise,
but is inchoate and incomplete, and that
the war department is without power to
exercise the prerogative o. the govern
ment to grant or complete such conces-
sion
The second opinion is based upon the
application of Ramon Valdez Cobian
for concession of the right to use the
water power Of the river Plata in Porto
Rico. The question involved is whether
the war department has authority to ap-
prove or disapprOve the concession which
the applicant seeks and desires to use.
1t appears that the applicant in this case
had not obtained authority for the use
of the river Plata. He had only COM
piled with the preliminary requisites The
attorney general concludes, therefore,
that the department has no power to
grant the application sought
In the case of Frederick w. Weeks, for
permission to conduct and maintain a
wharf pier upon which warehouses may
be erected at the port of Ponce, in
Porto Rico, the attorney general decides
that the grant of right or privilege of
this character to exist in perpetuity or as
long as the terms of the grant are full
filled is beyond the power of the secre-
tarY of WAY and ought not to be made

ICE CASE IN COURT
Willie d Willie sue the ChrystaI Ice
20. for So 600

What promises to be very hard fought
case is being tried in the district court.
1t is the case in which ]. A. lad w. r.
Willie are suing the C-~5tal Ice company
and Major Powell for 5000 damages.
Judge Dale probably had an object in
view when he adjourned court during the
recent cold snap, for ii would have been
inhuman to have tackled an ice case dur
ing that frigid spell. Everybody felt COM
Portable yesterday while talking about ice
and the case got a good start. Messrs
Sankey & Campbell represent the plain
tiffs and Holmes & Haymaker are con-
Quoting the defense. The suit grows out
of an alleged attempt to corner the ice
business of the city last summer, in which
alleged effort Willie & Willie claim they
were damaged by the defendants by their
refusal to fill contracts as verbally stipu-
lated at the beginning of the season. At
o'clock last night the case had warmed
up considerably, and it is thought that it
will go to the jury today. Judge Dale is
very anxious to rush court business in or
der TO get out and enjoy the splendid
weather prevailing, as he has been very
closely confined since the Shea case be-
gan.

Motion for new trial in the Paddy

Saturday before Judge Dale in the dis

briefs to be submitted to Jud4 Dale. and
the case will be carried up 10 the Eu-
preme court If the motion is denied.
When Shea was seen in the county jail
last night, he was sitting in his cell smok-
ing a cigar, but seemed TO be wrapped
up in deep study, as he did not look up
when the reporter for the Eagle stopped
in front of the cell door. But when spok-
en- to by the turnkey ne looked up and
said: Hello, Old man. 1 wasn't expect
ing any one, and I was just thinking
about that verdict and how any man
could bring it in against the evidence
that was introduced in my behalf. l
think 1 was wrongly convicted, and 1 can
not understand how twelve honest men
could barter away a mans liberty on the
quality and kind of evidence that was in
troduced against me. I believe yet that
y
justice will be done me and that should
get a new trial l honestly believe there
must be some men who will have it in
for me, and Think today if my case was
left TO vote of the people of Wichita 1
would be acquitted. 1 can not yet fully
make up my mind that 1 will ever go TO
the penitentiary for defending my life
and my property against the threat of a
man who never spoke unless he meant
10 do what he said. Why, the man has
got little graveyard of his own over the
country, and. have not the least doubt
that he intended to place me among the
number. No one knew the desperate
character of Dawson as 1. fortunately or
unfortunately did, 1 do not know which
you would call II, and any man placed in
the same position that 1 was would now
be in the same predicament, if fate We're
against him. In all the twelve years
have lived in Wichita no one can say
they ever knew me to carry a gun, and
l don't understand why 1 should be called
such a desperate character. 1 don't be-

whom 1 have always known, will truth
fully say that have ever had any trouble
