cept. He was voted for for United
States Senator by the members of
his party in the Legislature, upon
more than one occasion. For a
number of years he has been the
member of the National commit
tee for Kentucky and has a COM
handing position in the national
counsels of his party. Upon the
whole, his party did wise thing
in nominating him, and while we
differ with hi;: in politics, we with
his host of other friends in his
home county appreciate the honor
coming to our esteemed fellow
citizen and congratulate his party
upon an honor SO worthily be-
slowed.
Col. Cardin was born near Rich
mond, Va in 1876. In 1915 he.
came to Kentucky, and since that
time the Bluegrass State has beep
his home. He has always been
devoted to farming and stock rails
ing, and owns one of the largest
and best improved stock, grain
and tobacco farms in the southern
portion of the State, and as far
mer he has always been successful.
For thirty years or more he has
bought, stripped and exported to-
bacco on a large scale. He has
made two or three trips to Europe.
He is well versed in political
questions, is a good writer. and
while not an orator, he is a plain,
forcible speaker.

CIaud Wheeler Shot and Club
bed to his Death, at the
Depot Friday Night.
WILD WESTERS" ARRESTED.
The Tragedy Of "a Show Day in Marion,
Other BeIligerent incidents.

The people of Marion heard tho
discharge of fire arms so constant
ly last Friday, that n volley at the
depot about II o'clock attracted no
particular attention, yet this dis
charge of arms meant the death of
one of our citizens. The Wild
West show had big crowd that
day, and up to nightfall matters
had moved along fairly well for an
occasion of that kind. At the
night performance there was some
little friction between the show
and other parties. Later in the
night two young men, Lon Agee
and Will Ward, came up town and
they we're badly bruised and beat
EN- about the head and face, and
were bleeding profusely. They
reported that while near the mill
this side of the show ground they
had been attacked by a party of
show attaches and knocked down
without any provocation on their
part. Ward said that he was
knocked down four times, and the
condition of his face indicated it.
Agee had been just as roughly
treated. Among those who heard
the statement of these boys was
Mr.. Claud Wheeler, a young man
born and reared here-the son of
Mr.. Frank Wheeler and a grand
son of the late W. G. Carnahan.
Wheeler was incensed at the treat
ment that young Ward and Agee
had received and proposed that
party go and square accounts with
the showmen. He finally went to
the depot and there met a number
of the cowboys" of the show,
and what followed will probably
never be accurately told, because
the tragedy was enacted within
the glare of the torchlight, and no
man now in Marion or likely to be
here saw the origin or the finale.
The story, as gathered from those
who saw portions of the fight is as
follows:
From five to a dozen of the cow
boys were on and about the raised
walk at the depot when Wheeler
reached there, a few words passed
and the shooting began; the wit
nesses are not sure as to who fired
the first shot; not more than one
or two shots were fired before
Wheeler was down; he crawled un-
der a wagon, his antagonists sur
the wagon and began
at him. He was dragged
from under the wagon and beat
over the head with a club. Short
ly afterwards he was found some
thirty feet from the wagon in a
dying condition and in a few MN
utes he was dead. There was a
gunshot wound in each hand, the
bullet striking the hand and rang
ing upward in the arms, there was
a gun-shot wound in his side, the
ball having penetrated the lung,
the skull was cracked on top near
the front, and on top near the rear,
as if he had been struck power
full blow with heavy club.
Shortly after the shooting, hav-
ing completed loading, the show
train pulled out
When picked up Wheeler's gold
a present from his mother,
was gone and his watch pocket was
cut out, his pistol was gone, too.
Two of the showmen had gunshot
dressed in Princeton; one
was wounded in the neck and the
other in the foot neither serious

Several witnesses were examined
in the inquest. and the story of
the killing as told by these is as
follows:
Curg Travis Was at depot.
Saw the killing. Was there when
Wheeler came. Heard pistol fire
just after first shot heard sound
as of ticks being struck: turned
round and saw Claud's heels fly
up; he fell backwards and crawled
or somehow got under wagon.
Heard one of the cowboys say, Il
am wounded, but don't think bad
ly." There were other words pas
sed and they surrounded the wag-
on and began shooting, and walk
ed around the wagon as they shot.
One of the show men came up to
me and said: My friend. what
business have you got here: you
had better go and go pretty pert.
| went. | went as far as Mr.. Hur-
ley's and then went back. When

forwards. 1t looked to me like

at that pistol.
Ed. Doss Was sitting in the
telegraph office: heard first shot
and turned round; heard sound as
of ticks and saw man falling back;
could not tell who shot. He was
a "roughrider" who did the shoot
ing; could tell by kind of hats
they wore. Other shots fired af-
forwards. There must have been
seven or eight of them. The man
