Sheriff Colyer says he will not bother
General Clay tomorrow, but will wait
till Monday before serving the papers.
Some months ago General Clay, who
has been left alone since his child wife,
Dora Richardson, ran away and left
him, sent for Mary b. Clay his
daughter, to come and live with him.
For some weeks they got along nicely.
Two weeks ago he told his daughter to
go to his family and secure their con-
sent to release all claims on the prop
erty which he occupied. He wanted to
give the property to Dora, his young
divorced wife, who is now the wife of
Riley Brook and resides at Pinkard, in
Woodford county, on property given
her by General Clay.
Mary Clay went away, returning a
day or so later, and was met at the
door by. the old man. His eyes we're
fierce. In his trembling hand he held
revolver grasped tightly. He de-
manded to know the result of the visit
ITS all right" said the frightened
daughter. "All right is it?" retorted
the infuriated man. "You lie. know
you are deceiving me-" and leveling his
revolver at his daughters head, he add
ed, Leave my house and never come
here again" Returning to his room,
the old man moaned; "she was trying
to deceive me. j could tell it by her
face"
Securing writ of delivery for her
furniture, Mary Clay placed papers in
the hands of Sheriff Colyer. General

cry, "The vendetta "The vendetta
on his lips, General Cassius Marcellu3
Clay, the famous abolitionist, duellist
and former United States Minister to
Russia, this morning led his little
bodyguard to battle against a sheriff's
posse which had gone to White Hall
in Madison county. to serve writ Of
delivery sent by Mary B. Clay, his
daughter, for furniture belonging to
her. Many shots were fired on each
side and the posse finally departed
without accomplishing the purpose or
the visit. 1t was reported that Gen
eral Clay was wounded in the fray.
Fleeing from his supposed enemies, he
barricaded himself in his den" in the
mansion. and there he remained guard
ed by faithful servants. The princi.
pals in the battle were General Clay
and two of his bodyguard. Bud Litrell
and Jim Bolin, on one side, and Sheriff
Colyer, Deputy Terrill and Frank Ma
son. of Madison county, on the other.
The officers approached the house and
stopped in the yard. The Generals
bodyguard came to the door and the
Sheriff announced that he desired a
personal interview with the master of
White Hall. General Clay in few
moments came to the door, revolver in
hand.
General Clay said the Sheriff.
I'VE are here on peaceful mission. /"
You are on my property without
leave and | will shoot you," replied
the old man, who is almost blind, and
strained his eyes as if trying to make
out the location of the enemy.
Don't shoot, General, we are
friends shouted Sheriff Colyer.
Spies, retorted he and handing his
pistol to one of his men, he took in
stead repeating shotgun and cooked
it. Sheriff Colyer sought shelter be-
hind a large oak tree nearby and his
| deputies also hid themselves. All
pulled their weapons. General Clay
shouted ''The vendetta" '"rhe vendet.
ta,'' and began firing in the direction
from which he heard voices. The
| Sheriff fired in return after the General
had emptied his weapon and the dep
uties also fired they say not at the ole
man, but hoping to scare him int,
seeking shelter.
After emptying his shotgun, Genera
] Clay tried his revolver, which would
not fire. He then took from the hands
of the other guards rife and discharg
ed it in the direction of the frightened
sheriff and deputies.
Exhausting his ammunition, Genera
Clay went into the house, putting III
the iron bars and ordered his men t
adjust pistols. He armed himself witt
large bowie knife and butcher knife
Stationing himself by the side of thu
door he waited further attack.
After General Clay retreated into tn,

house to try to get General Clay l.

HEALTHFUL EXERCISE.

The fashion OF walking is becoming
more and more popular. Women nova
days realize that there il nothing mere
beneficial to health than fresh air and
exercise, and as to be healthfuI is more
than half way towards being beautiful
women are beginning to take exercise
with the pleasant certainty that they
are improving their appearance.
With few notable exceptions the wo-
men of the end Of the eighteenth cen
tury and the beginning OF the nineteenth
lost their looks at q comparatively. early
age No doubt they would be astonfshed
at the youthful appearance and spright-
" manners OF some Of the women OF to-
day who are well on the shady side Of
40; but In those days there was very
little opportunity for any woman Of
gentle birth to take much exercise, or.
to indulge in sports or athletics OF any
kind; they led such restricted lives that
they faded early. and old ladies were re-
signed to looking their age and consid-
cred At Inevitable.
Nowadays we are all as young as we
feel. and the younger we are IN years
the older we feel we are in experience.
