twelve miles from Manchester. How
ard, who owned a few hills near by
hired Baker to cut some timber on his

Baker and his brothers laid out In am

and killed one of Howard's sons and
one Of his employees and severely
wounded the elder Howard. Another

put a bullet through the head Of Tom

took It for granted that Sheriff White
had instgated the killing of his brother
and took the first opportunity to kill
William l.. White, whose crime was
that he was the Sherlff's brother. A
few days later Gilbert Garrard, son OF
the present head of the Garrard family
was shot at from ambush as he was
riding his mule home from church. He
escaped unhurt and took occasion to
move out of the county. But his father
was made of sterner stuff. When noti.

was in danger of assassination he hired

man to guard his premises at night

winter. The people of Clay County
travel either on horseback or on foot,
and they use the beds Of those streams
in the place of roads. Some Of the hills
