Charlie Ives Dead.

Tuesday morning, Dec. 20
Mr.. Charlie Ives passed from
earth 10 Heaxen. His death was
somewhat sudden, having been
confined to his bed at his home
near Elizabeth City only a few
days. Death is terrible in all its
forms, but when it comes, tax
ing away the head Of a family,
a wife and seven bright chill
dren, it is indeed sad.
Charlie Ives, it can be said
was a good man, highly esteem
ed and loved by all who knew
him best. He was a christian
gentleman, a member and dea>
don of Corinth church and al
ways took an active part in all
that would advance the cause
of Christian religion.
The funeral services took
place December 27th, at Corinth
church which was filled with
relatives and sympathizing
friends who went to pay the
last tribute to the dead. The
service was conducted by Revs.
Ferebee and Harris and his re>
mains inferred in the burying
ground near the church. It was
truly a sad occasion. To the
heart broken wife and fatherless
children the Fisherman & Far

Georgetown, KY. Oct. 1.-THE Yout-
seV trial was resumed yesterday al
though Youtsey was reported in the
same condition as last week. His room
door was opened and his bed pulled
up in plain view and hearing Of the
jury, and while the witnesses were
being examined Youtsey could be
heard calling his wife's name in a
hollow. moaning voice. and could be
seen to be sitting on his bed.
or course the feature Of the day
was the testimony of Arthur Goebel,
the brother of the murdered man. He
told OF going TO the Jail the day Yout-
sey war arrested and this is what he
claims Ycutsey said:
II had talk with Dick Coombs on
Monday morning and he told me that
he was ready to do the shooting, and
went to Caleb Powers for the key
to his office, and he told me to go to
John Powers. I went to John Pow
ers and John Powers gave me the
key. went to Gov. Taylor and I
told Gov. Taylor that Dick Coombs
was ready to do the shooting Gov.
Taylor said: You ought not come to
me about this. have been expect
ing this to be done for some time, but
! object to having a negro do II. 1t Ii
too important a piece OF work.
Coonibs may be a spy and he may
betray u.s.
Gov. Taylor walked up and down
the floor and said: 'Youtsey, what
do you think? II Goebel is killed do
you think / could hold my office? He
discussed the matter, to me back and
forth, and / said to him that thought
IL GocbeI was put out of the way
that the contest would be settled and
that he coaid hold his ONCE. Finally
] ssid to him, as Gov. Taylor hesitated
still, 1t Is up to you to decide now
finally whether 1t is to be done or not
and after some more hesitating Tay-
lor said, finally: Well. tell them to
go ahead. II 1t is necessary l can
send the man to the mountains with
squad Of soldiers"
I said: did he say anything about
pardoning him?" and Youtsey said:
"Yes. that is so. He said II II Is nec-
essary can pardon him and he win
be safe enough Youtsey then
stopped and / asked: What did you
do then? You told Col Campbell. as
he told me. that you let certain people
into Powers Office" Youtsey said.
When went back Berry Howard
and Dick Coombs and Jim Howard
were In the hall and unlocked the
door and let them in and gave them

ther, Judge George f. Baxter and Donald
Grant OF Faribault are prominent officers
The company named had secured grant
Of 100000 acres from the Venezuelan
government. II was announced recently
that that concession had been annulled
Regarding this statement Mr.. Baxter
says: s,t.....,., .,s.
''The concession will certainly hold.
The new president. Castro. announced
that this and other similar grants would
be annnlled That was to be by virtue
of the revolution. The supreme court
will hold against this proposition. The
property includes much mineral land and
is very valuable"
Mr.. Baxter says Venezuela is a rich
country, In its natural resources. and
with reasonable stability in the govern
ment would be great and prosperous
The supreme court, In determining upon
this question Of grants, declared that
the country would have to be peaceable'
