FIGHT FOR LIBERTY
Three MoOnshiners Trapped by In

The story of a Typical Meeting OF
Ohcers of the Government and
Illicit DiStiller>-ENcitinE
MidniGht Battle.

Standing out in the freight, plain
marks for the antagonists, Internal
Revenue Agent Il. A hancock and
Special Deputy jeff Cundiff fought
three hidden mOonshiners and killed
one, says the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal. The exciting midnight battle
took place on Big Meeting creek, in
HOrdin county. Asa Humble, a
young fellow just p, fell because
ne wouldn't run. After the fight
they found him with two empty
chambers in his pistol and the
weapon half-cocked. Mai. Hancock
bears an ugly red welt on his face,
where bullet scraped the cheek.
Asa Humble was one of gang
that has been making ''moonshine"
in that vicinity for some time. \ few
weeks ago Maj. Hancock and JEFF
f'undiff thought they had located the
still. 1t was in a cave that opened
out from the bottom of a sink-hole
within a few yards of the county
road. To enter the cave meant al
most certain death, but Maj. Han
cock and Cundiff determined to try.
They crept out one dark night and
dropped down into the hole. Just
the length of a Pan's leg down in
the hole was a ladder that dropped
away into darkness. Without light
and silently as possible, the two men
climbed down the ladder into the un.
explored cave, not knowing what
might be awaiting them. Once in
the cave, they used dark lanterns. 1t
so happened that the nOonshiners
were not there, so the officers, after
exploring the cave, noting the NOON
sinners plans for defense and Sc
curing evidence to show who were
members of the gang, crept away
without disturbing anything. The

moonshiners had hidden the worm
and still too securely for the search
ers to find them.
Nothing more was heard of the
gang until jeff Cunditf got infOrma-
ton that the outfit was located on
Big Meeting creek, four miles north
of Big Clifty. Maj. Hancock left
town Monday afternoon at 4:3O
o'clock for Big Clifty. jeff Cundiff
met him with five possemen. The
party left Big Clifty at 1920 o'clock
Monday night, going north. 1t was
about midnight when they came in
to the neighborhood of the still.
Creeping as close as they could by
taking advantage of the ground the
officers from a distance of % feet
watched the sinners at work. There
were three of them, and they were
just preparing to stop for the night.
Hancock and Cundiff crept up to Is
feet, and then suddenly stepping out
into the light with their pistols drawn.
Surrender in the name of the gov
ernment!"
Two moonshiners jumped back into
the shadow of the cliff. the third
leaped sidewise and crOuched behind
the worm. And then three shots
rang out together. a bullet scared
Maj. Hancocks face, spinning him
around.

Strengthened his hand went up and
his 44-caliber Colt spoke out, with
the deputy's gun. The two were
standing straight up in the freight,
plain marks themselves, and with
only the flashes of their antagoniSts'
pistols to shoot at. For minute if
was like the sound of a corporaPs
squad firing at will. then the two
moonshiners who had jumped back
against the cliff broke away and ran
down stream.
The boy crouching behind the
worm only took more careful aim at
the officers. In another instant the
firing was over, the boy was dead.
The men who had run brushed past
the guards on the lower path, taking
a pot shot as they ran past, and es-
saPed.
Mai. Hancock and JEFF Cundiff ex-
amined the young man who had
fallen. He was dead, with a bullet
hole through the lower part of his
head. Both recognized him as Asa

BR1TA1N,s GREATEST LOSS.

The death of Cecil Rhodes was a great loss to the
British Empire. 1t was his personal financial am
bition coupled with his dream of united South
African empire that brought about that most stu
pendous and cruel Of modern speculations, the Boer
war. Great Britain will reap the reward; Cecil
Rhodes has his.
Rhodes believed that gold omnipotent, and
that belief was the foundation error in his cacula
tions concerning the conquest to which he led his
country. To him money was the justification of
any enterprise which promised to yield it, and to a
man constituted as he was the conception of peo-
pie fighting desperately and stubbonly and hopeless
y for sentiment or for the maintenance of an alb
stract principle was impossible.
Those men who insist that men like this should
not be measured by ordinary standards not with
out argument to support their position; but the
fact remains that it will be sorry day for the
world when it accepts the theory that those who see
broadly and do largely may with impunity ignore
Justice and honor and right. That many of the
men who have left the deepest impress on human
history have ignored these qualities is true; but
their epitaphs rewritten by subsequent genera
tons in colors which verge more and more to dark
ness

THE COMING STATE FAIR.

In selecting location for the approaching State
Fair the association will have some things to con-
slider beyond the mere meeting of it's requirements
on the part of the cities and towns Offering bids.
Key West might meet all the demands of the asso-
citation as to grounds, tents, tracks and available
cash, but its geographical location is such that its
bid could not be considered for a moment.
Other cities single line of road, requiring two
days travel from certain parts of the state i'll order
to reach Them would also, it would SEEM not be de-
slrable points of location 1t takes large atten-
dance of people to make successful fair. Would
the peope-could they generally afford to visit the
fair if located at city two days distant from any
large section of the state? The News believes they
would not and could not in such numbers to make
the fair success
Then there is the matter of hotel Accommodations
What small city could take care of the crowds
whose attendance is absolutely necessary to the sue
cess of the fair? Not one of them.
For these reasons and these alone the News be.
lieves Jacksonville the only city whose bid will
meet all the conditions of a successful fair 1t is
within one days reach of the remotest sections Of
the state and would attract the crowds. 1t has am
pie hotel Accommodations to provide for all who will
attend Palatka's day will come later, but this
year people feel that the success of the second
Florida State FAIR depends upon the selection Of
Jacksonville for it's location.

Seasoned for the past four years be-
meath the steady white light of pub
Lefty, Samuel NJ. Jones, the "Gol-
den Rule" mayor of Toledo, is today
a unique and picturesque figure
among men of national eminence
He is better schooled in experience
and more finely versed in political
ethics now than on the day he was
lifted into public view, yet his theo-
ries are still in an excellent state OF
preservation.
Fame introduced Jones to the
world in the role of mayor, employer
of labor, and a thinker of things So
Geological. These are three poster
studies which illustrate his career.
The mayor of Toledo sits at big
desk, easy of access TO the humblest
citizen. A comfortable seat at his
elbow is as cosmopolitan as a bar
ber's chair. The man who rises to
greet the visitor is not a complex
proposition. He is of ordinary hight,
square shouldered, muscular and
alert. His features are regular and
impressed with kindness. There is
earnestness about the eyes; the
mouth is sensi i've and sympathy
has cross-hatched lines of pain about
them both. His hair and mustache
are tinged with gray and worn close
ly cropped. His characteristic dress
is a business suit, a turned down
collar with loose knotted 'necktie,
and his hat is broad-brimmed white
one. His welcoming handshnke may
impress one as quaint. 1t feels like
some sort of ceremOny,-Frank Les

A WOMAN WHO FORGOT SELF.

Bravery is often combined with tenderness How
those two things enchance human regard for woman
hood-for any person who can put away self COM
pletely and only think of sorrow and suffering.
A few days ago newsboy was run down by a
New York trolley car. 1t was all done III an In
slant. There was pitiful scream, crunch and a
lad Law IN the street with both legs crushed off be-
low the knee. Out of the crowd came fashionably
dressed woman Her life was as far removed from
that of the boys as the moon is from the earth,
and the gown she wore probably cost more than the
boy had earned in his lifetime.
She did not scream or faint. She sat down in
the black mud of the street, pillowed the lads head
in her lap wiped the CRIME from his face and helped
him forget his suffering till the ambulance came
and the manged victim taken to a hospital.
Then she disappeared in the crowd.
"Oh, it wasn't such an extraordinary feat" you
say. st didn't cost her penny. If her dress was
ruined she had dozen more as good"
The things that cost money are not alone the
things that count.
The little act of that unknown woman was SYM
pathy, that at times breaks down oil class barriers
1t was the something that said "After all, we are
human beings and no more, no less-the king in his
palace and the boy of the street, We laugh when
we are glad, and we weep when sorrow comes. We
are equal in the sight of Providence, away with
everything that Is artificial and uncover a heart
that is throbbing with kindness" New York has
reason to feel proud of that woman who sat ill the
mud and Graded doomed newsboy.

CONDITIONS FAVOR ANNEXATION.

On the Goth of May Senior Tomas Estrada Palma
is to be naugurated as the first chief executive of
Cuba, the Congress to be previously convened for
the purpose of taking such preliminary steps
necessary to prepare for the transfer of authority
While the Platt amendment, existing as part of
the Cuban charter, gives Pickwickian tnge to all
the proceedings it is not to be forgotten that very
large measure of selfgovernment is about to be be-
slowed upon people inexperienced in its duties and
responsibilities, and made up for the most part, of
races which have never evinced high order of ca
pacty for the support of popular institutions. The
problems to be solved will be further complicated
by the shortsighted hoggshness of the one country
that is Cuba's natural market.
Considered from the annexationsts standpoint,
our governments management of the preparations
for the coming event has been adroit. 1t has Sc
cured by methods concerning which opinion var
les widely the election of thoroughly Yankeeized
president, who is certain to surround himself with
sympathetic heads of departments who in the dis
tribution of patronage will doubtless be able to steer
a course toward that ultimate annexation which
most persons regard the real destiny of the island
The situation will be such that the very difficulties
that the new government is sure to encounter are
almost sure to work toward the same end.
Cuba prosperous and economically content9d,
might remain for years under the semi-ndependent
government which we have permitted her to estab-
lish. Cuba, with access to her natural market
heavily restricted can hardly fail to fall into dis
tress and when she falls into distress the real
troubles of the Palma administration will begin.
Then also will begin the rapid development of
avowed annexation sediment and once the move
ment gaines Roadway there will be no staying it.
