articles describing Japan and her mill
taFy and naval strength. and specula'
tiona as to the outcome Of the alliance.

to connrm the opinions OF the leading

comment here is the anxiety to see
thelUnitsdr States In line with the
agreement Every editorial points to
the identity ;of interests and looks for
moral support from America. ", g.

a result ola battle between officers
from Middlesboro and mountaineers.
The battle, which was one of the most
desperate things of its kind in the
history of mountain warfare, occurred
between Land 6 o'clock p. m. at Lee
Turner's "quarter house" saloon. three
and half miles from Middlesboro.
Last month some mules and other
goods Of Turner's We're levied on In
payment for debt, and few: nights
ago, It Is alleged, he with others went
to Virginia, where the property had
been taken, secured what was former.
ly his and returned to the quarter
house." :. -.
During the day Deputy Sheriff
Thompson summoned a posse Of 10 or
15 men for the purpose of arresting
Turner at his saloon. The Louisville
and Nashville railroad refused to con.
vey the officers to the saloon and they
walked through the mountains. Tur.
ner had heard that an attempt would
be made to arrest him and he and his
men, 16 In number, gave the omcers
a warm reception. The saloon is we'll
suited for an attack like this. It is
built of huge logs and is surrounded
by a 30-foot fence in which loopholes
are cut SO that the inmates can shoot
,at outsiders. Turner'S surrender was
demanded. His reply was q round Of
shots. Charley Cecil Of Middlesboro
was ridinG a horse in plain view of
the Turner men. Some one raised
window of the .loghouse and shot
Cecil, who fell dead. Instantly the
man at the window fell back, pierced
by half. . dozen bullets. Then the
firing began In earnest. The officers
scattered, and, hiding behind trees
and rocks, poured q CALLING fire into
