GOEBEL HAS KILLED HIS
MAN.
How He Shot Col. John Sanford
Dead at Covington, Ky.
Baltimore Sun.

William Goebel himself knows
to use firearms, and an incident
Of this kind IN his life was ono of
the leading points Brought against
HIM in the recent Kentucky cam
paign, when his opponents often
referred to him as assassin. -
The incident originated In
bill which, through Goebcl's in
tluence, passed the Kentucky
Legislature reducing to l cent
the toll across the bridge leading
from Covinyton to Cincinnati.
Col John Sanford, an ex-Confcd-
crate officer, who was then secre.
tary of tic Farmers anl Traders
Bank OF COvingtOn, and was one
of the largest Stockholders in the
bridge company, made an attnck
on GOCbCl in q COvingtOn news
paper The two men had belongs
ed to rival factions in the Demo
cratic party, between which per>
sonal encounters and convention
fights had oecn frequent, and the
bridge toll episode brought the
feud to crisis.
Gochel responded to SanfOrd's
newspaper attack in a caustic un-
signed article, which, 1t is said,
caused Colonel Sanford to an
nounce that he would shoot the
author on sight.
On April II, 1895, GoebeI, ac>
companied 10y Attorney -General
Hendrick and Frank Helm, presi>
dent of the First National Bank
OF COvlngtOn, were about to en-
ter Helms office. At the door
stood Sanford. He shook hands
with Hendrlck, and, turning to
Goebel, asked if the latter had
written the article against him.
81 did, answered GucbeI.
Both men drew pistols and
there were two almost sImuItane
GUS reports. Sanford's shot passed
through Goehel'S clothing. Goe-
be's passed tLrnugh Sanford's
head AMI tic colonel fell dead in
his tracks
A crowd gathered and there
was great confusion, during which

for his brother Justis by telephone
and then gave himself up to tho
police. When his brother ar.
rived at the jail both men wept.
"Here is the reason | killed
HIM, exclaimed GueEal under the
excitement of the shooting. He
pointed to bullet holes in his own
clothing "Hc was lying in wait
for me- Goebel added. 81 saw

away As soon rs | saw hun
reach for his revolver reached
for mine He fired the first shot. "
After hearing witnesses for an
entire day II coroner's jury ren~
dered verdict Of self defense.
Sanford S friends then brought a
charge of manslaughter against
Goehel, but at a preliminary hear
ing before Judge Stephens and a
jury he was discharged.
Colonel Sanford's widow was
ultimately made insane by the
loss Of her husband, and in July
last was formally adjudged a
Iunatic by a jury in the Lexington
Court.
This act arrayed against Goebel

been comrades-in arms with Cot.

Nearer Civil War in Kentucky
Than at any Previous Time.

Frankfort, March 11.-The
Democrats and Republicans in
Kentucky are today, for the first
time since the present political
complications assumed acute form,
divided into armed and organized
factions. Surrounding the capi>
tol and the State executive build,
ing and camped in the grounds
around Gov Taylor's home are
nearly 200 State militia, well pro-
vlded with ammunition, while in
the corridors of the Capitol hotel,
in which the Democratic Stttc
executive Off eS are located, and
in the streets adjacent to that
building are 60 special officers
and the men and boys of a militia
company that was organized in
Frankfort today, as the nucleus
of Gov Beckham's State guard,
besides scores Or more of heavily
armed citizens, partisans of the
Democratic element. Within an
hour after Democratic leaders to-
day heard rumor that an at
tempt was to be made by the
State militia to take Gov Beck>
ham into custody a petition had
been circulated and signed by the
requisite number of men neces-
sary to form a militia company.
The men will guard the Capitol
hotel all night against any pos>
slble attempt to arrest Gov Beck,

main for the legislature to re-
main in session, but the develop
ments OF those two days are look

nothing to fear arrest, as he was
not guilty of the charge, and that
he was going to BarboursvilIe, in

boarded the train. On entering
the coach the officers found it con

Powers and Davis, the soldiers
being under command of Lieut..
Peake. Lieut. Peake -prang to
his feet at once and commanded
the soldiers to clear the car. In
an instant 20 revolvers were
drawn by the officers and thew
were all leveIed at Peake, who
gamely tried to pull his own rey
volver, but, as he drew it from
the scabhord, n policeman smashed
him across the hand with his club
and thus prevented what would
have undoubtedly resulted in a
tragedy.
The sheriff commanded the con-
dnctor to cut off the car. The
conductor demonstrated, stated
that the train carried United

not then pressed.
A local attorney recognized
