Story of Jim Woods Bullet Pen

Front Door Wouldn't

CENTRAL CITY PEOPLE NOW
KNOW HOW 1T HAPPENED.
Jim Said His Assailants We're
From Hopkins County-and
He Knew lt-NO Arrests.

Not long since there appeared a
story in a Louisville daily, tele-
graphed from Central City, telling
graphically how Jim Wood, district
president of the United Mine Work
ers of America, had been waylaid as
he went peacefully to his home, by
night and foul attempt made to as
sassinate him; how a number of
shots had been fired point blank at
him as he passed dark corner; how
he most heroically drew his six
shooter and bravely emptied it at
his assailants; how bullet went
crashing through his derby hat; how
he saw his assaiIants plainly enough
by the flashes of their cannonading
to recognize that they. were from
Hopkins county; how he finally
reached the bosom of his family in
safety and thought his troubles had
ended; how he was not here-even
in his own castle-safe from the vim
dictiveness of dreadful and blood
thirsty Hopkins countyites; how he
was called to his own front door and
again shot at out of the darkness,
the bullet crashing through his big
glass front door near the seat of his
life. But there was guiding Prov
idence and he escaped the pitfalls of
his enemies.
But Mrs. Jim couldn't keep the
secret. Few women could under
like provoeation. And now the story

facts of the occurrence, from which
it appears that there was only one
man and one "gun" in the battle and
that was Jim and his own six shoot
er. Jim, it seems, was in a hilarious
mood, and ambushed himself, firing
several shots into the air before he
entered his dovecote and shooting
the top off his own hat as physical
proof Of bloody encounter with
Hopkins county thugs. Entering
the house he was not yet satisfied
with the fun he had had and, turn
ing about, he sent a bullet crashing
through the glass halt of his own
front door.
A separation is now reported, and
divorce proceedings on the part of
the wife are rumored.

A Pleasant Fact.

The year 1901 was a good one
to the farmers of the country.
The wheat crop was worth $780,
100000 more than that of 1900,
as much larger crop was raised.
Live stock was worth $25O,OOO, 900
more. The various other crops
put the increase in valuation up
to $4O0,OOO,OOO.
The disappointment of the year
was the short corn crop, a loss of
00,000,00O bushels being sus-
tanned. The drouth during the
summer was the most destructive
ever known.

ney Says It Will Stick.

The escape of the negro
Feeney under Indictment for
murder in the Providence mine
battle case was an unfortunate
occurrence, but the vigor of the
law is being exercised against
those responsible for that out
rage upon justice in a manner
that holds out no inducements
for a repetition of aiding ana
abetting felons-at least il
Union County. .
When the trial Of Halves, the
union agitator of Sturgis who
ai4d the escape of Feeney and
resSyred his arrest by Marshal
Williams, of Uniontown, came
up before County Judge Spald-
ing, and the evidence had been
given, Halves and his friends
were paralized by the sentence
passed. Halves freely admitted
his purpose to aid the negro
murderer to escape and there
were no palliating circumstances.
The prisoner brazenly declared
wnaT his intentions had been and
seemed to have a false idea of
the purpose for which courts of
Justice are constituted. AT least
he discovered he could not play
ball with the Union County
court.
Judge Spalding promptly as
sessed a penalty of $4,000 fine or
1000 days Imprisonment, and
Prosecuting Attorney Flournoy,
of that judicial district says the
fine will stick.
1t is said upon good authority
that members of the Sturgis
mob, which finally did effect the
escape of the negro Feeney, are
known and will be apprehended
and punished in a like vigorous
manner.

Among the latest improve

handsome new telephone ex-
change of the Cumberland Tele-

change is connected with the
darlington and Madisonville free
service, which now has a flatter-

increasing daily. The advent of
the telephone at Dawson Springs
and the establishment of that up

to the efforts of Mr.. Will p.

Another plan for public i'm
