cial. the County Board of Election

pose of counting the votes and issuing

During the progress of the count, it

ed. Mercer q Mercer and Norman,
as attorneys for Moore, objected to
this motion, claiming that the Board
had no authority to make such an or
der. The position of the Board was,
that they did not have the power to
compel the election officers to open
the ballot boxes, but that IL an order
was obtained from the circuit judge
to open the ballot boxes and canvass
the rejected ballots, they would COM
ply with such order. Mr. Ball de-
clined to do this, as he did not wish
to appear before the people rs contest

"Speck" Beayin and hOyiOuS
Brown Held Over to Grand
Jury For Assault.
INCENDIARY AT TOBINSPORT.

Barney Boiler was assaulted last
Wednesday night about 10 O'Clock near
Tom Boilers shop by "Speck Beavin
and Hovious Brown, colored, their in
tention being, he thinks, TO ROB him.
He had some money on his person
but they did not get this, as his cries
for help frightened them away before
they had time to secure it.
A little after 10 O'Clock Boiler left
his shoe shop on Elm street and started
down Main street on his way home
in the lower end of town. AS he turn
ed around Hannah corner he heard
two men following him. When he had
gone about half block the men, who
were "Speck" Besvin and Hovious
Brown, grabbed at his cane and when
he asked them what they wanted they
said they wanted to Kill him. He told
them to quit following him and .they
dropped back little. They continued
however, to follow him and when he
turned around Halls corner and got
opposite Tom Boilers blacksmith
shop, they knocked him in the head
four times and wrencned his cane
from his hand. He struggled with
them for a while, but when be was
felled to the ground he cried out that
he was being murdered. While he
was down they searched in his pockets
he says, but before they got his money
light appeared in the doorway OF a
nearby house and thev fed. Boiler s
head was badly bruised and his back
was hurt. The examining trial Of
Brown was held Friday before Judge
Willis.
Brown was arrested by marshal
Willis on the charge of assault and
battery with intent to rob and was
tried before Judge Wills Friday
night. The charge was then changed
to assault and battery and Brown had
second trial Saturday mornIng.
when his bond was fixed at 800. He
failed to give bond and was taken to
Hardinsburg Saturday afternoon by
Marshal Willis and committed to the
county Jail. Beavin gave himself up
Friday night when he learned that
the charge had been changed .and he
was tried Saturday morning and his
bond placed at 800, which was given.
