MRS. EVEN ADVISED TO LEAVE

Jackson, Ky, June Arguments
in the case OF Curtis ;ett and Thomas
White, on tr:a! for the murder of 7. B.
Marcum, was not cCr'!'A*ed when
court adjourned late last -. hit and the
case will not go to the jury until noon
to-day.
A hung jury is expected because Of
the alleged attitude Of two of the
members. AS the case draws to q
close, alarm among citizr"s because Of
the probability OF troncs being with
drawn is manifest. The assassination
of every person who has become ex-
posed as antagonistic to the feudists is
sassination where the latter is for any
reason not expedient.
Even newspaper correspondents are
believed to be in danger. One Of them
last night received an anonymous let
ter signed by "a Feminine Admirer,"
in which he was told that
His Assassination
had been ordered and warned him to
get out of town before tonight.
Every one feeels that a verdict or
failure to return verdict will pre-
cipitate crisis, and there is appre-
hension that bloodshed is coming.
Jackson people are not easily alarmed
and the, point to series of crimes
that have shoc',el civilization as de-
tense against the suspicion that they
may be hysterical in their dread Tor
what they believe is to follow the re-
moval of troops should the real Cul-
prits ever be reached. If the defend
ants should be found guilty it is IRE
dicted that the members Of the jury
and even the circuit judge would be
in danger.
Maj. ENTRY Allen, who is now in
command of the troops here during
the absence of Col Roger Williams,
yesterday earnestly advised Mrs. B. l..
Even
To Leave Jackson.
She has taken an active part in &C.
cumulating evidence against the men
who burned her husbands hotel and
are directly connected with the power
full faction in Breathitt county. Maj.
Allen expressed the belief that Mrs.
Ewen's life was in danger notwith-
standing the fact that women and
children have heretofore been spared
by assassins in Jackson. Mrs. Ewen's
bravery and courage have frequently
been shown, especially during the ~e-
cent trials through which she has
passed, and it was but the expected
when she replied: II will stay here
until our interests are properly pro-
tected and our contracts fulfilled. If

One Good Reason.

There was visitor at the
school, and the children were
being given an opportunity to
show off. The visitors thoughts
evidently ran in rel gious turn
for he questioned the children
first upon their knowledge of
the Bible.
And where was the infant
Jesus born?' he asked, and a
chorus of voices answered imme-
diately, In a manger.'
And why was he born in a
manger?" was the next query.
There was a moments silence
and then a little Scotch boy in
the back seat piped up, shrilly,
Because his mother was
there" And the reply was too
obviously correct to admit of
any further questioning, on that
