Dorado Republican, has been investigat-
ing its origin and has found 4 woman ct
the bottom Of II. Here II his faithful re-
port Of the case. recently published by
William Allen White, IN the Emporis
Gazette:
The Emporia town row started IN
the summer Of 1859. Plumb, Eskridge,
Stotler. Proctor. Bancroft. Bundrem,
Hill. Cooper and others were unmarried
and were the Emporia hot stun. A dance
was given at Phillips place. ON Duck
creek. that summer, and. although II
was . dozen or fifteen miles away. all
the Emporia young men went.
There was q blooming widow In En-
poria-she was not exactly q widow. but
her husband didn't count-and each
young man sent an invitation to the
widow to the dance. and the vendetta
was on. Plumb won out and on the eve
ming Of the dance they all went over to
Duck Creek on horseback. Some with
girls and some without-girls were
mighty scarce those days.
Well, when they got to dancing all
the other Emporia boys agreed to boy
colt Plumb's girl. and not one of them
danced with her during the evening:
and the war was on; and Is on to this
day.
During the civil war a sort OF peace
was declared. Plumb was In the army,
while Eskridge was at home running
things his way. II was in 1866. II we
remember, that Eskridge was out for the
legislature, The soldiers had returned
home, and they Immediately trotted out
Plumb, who was elected. an dthis re-

"About this time H. c. Cross landed
In Emporia. He was an Ohio stockman,
and had bunch OF sheep Failing with

had no money. he soon tarted bank in
opposition TO the Plumb bank. and
from then on It was pull Dick. pull

States senator, but in all his fights ne
had to placate the Cross crowd.
Later on, when the Ottawa road was
built, Plumb took the Cross crowd into
the construction company. Plumb was
away and Cross managed the job. got
the money, but did not divvy up. As a
matter Of fact. large sum was due the
Plumb crowd, about $4,000. II we re-
member, but Cross never spoke of 1t to
Plumb afterward. Although Cross and
Plumb and nearly all the other original
participants In the Emporia town row
are dead, the row goes merrily on. and

ISALvATIORlSTS FIND
KENTUCKY BARBECUE.
Try to Exhort the People, But
Rowdies Scatter Them
With FusiIIade.

Whitesburg, KY, September 90
The Salvation Army cavalry corps,
under Col Richard Holtz, OF Cleve-
land, and Maj. Hunter, of Cincinnati,
hit here to day for Wise Courthouse.
They had not gone far before they
4met with a thrilling experience, and
one which they will not soon forget.
They came upon country bar
becue, where in a grove people were
dancing and making merry. Alarge
space had been cleaned off in an open
spot, and In the center a country
string band was furnishing music.
On the outskirts men and boys were
drinking hard cider from barrels,
drunk and the county officers could
do nothing with them. The Saliva
tionists we're almost paraly zed.
They had learned while here that
fletcher county was one of the worst
in the state, having had more ieuds
and murders than any OF its sister
isounties, and now the Salvationiats
saw reason for the trouble.
1t was some time before they could
make up their minds what to do. but
finally they opened services under a
large oak tree by the roadside, and
Don crowd gathered.
While members OF the corps were
exhorting the people assembled, some
drunken rowdies began firing of their
revolvers near by and the crowd be-
gan to scatter. The shooting was
20 close that the Salvationists, fear
ing to continue their meeting, closed
With prayer for the souls Of the peo-
PIE and rode away, continuing their
trip.
