GOebel'S Assassin.

Frankfort, KY, March 13.-Almost
without warning the storm centre OF
excitement in the present gubernatorial
struggle shifted to Lexington Sunday
night. The $40 Chesapeake and Ohio
train from Frankfort brought with it in
one car to themselves Secretary of
State Caleb B. Powers, Captain Davis
of the capitol police and Lieutenant
Peake of Covington.
Powers and Davis are charged with
being accessories to the murder of Will
lam Goebel. Intelligence had preceded
them that they were on their way to
Lexington and were trying to escape.
When the train pulled into the depot the
entire police force of this city, under
Chief Ross and Sheriff Bosworth, with
a large force of deputies, boarded the
train. On entering the coach the officers
found it contained about rs soldiers, with
Powers and Davis, the soldiers being
under command, apparently, of Lieu
tenant Peake. Lieutenant Peake COM
manded the soldiers to clear the car. In
an instant 20 revolvers were drawn by
the officers and they were all levelled
at Peake, who tried to draw his own re-
volver but policeman smashed him
across the hand with his club and pre-
vented what would have undoubtedly
resulted in tragedy.
