MRS. EWEN IN DANGER.

MRS. EVEN IN DANGER.
Maj. Embry Allen, who is in command of
the troops here during the absence of Col.
Roger Williams. to-day earnestly advised
Mrs. B. ]. Even to leave Jackson. She has
taken an active part in accommodating evil
dence against the men who burned her hus-
bands hotel and who are directly connected
with the powerful faction in Breathitt
county. Major Allen expressed the belief
that her life was in danger, notwithstand-

heretofore been spared by assassns in
Jackson. Mrs. Ewen's fortitude and cour-

our interests are properly protected and
our contracts fulfilled. If they want to Kill
me they will find me here for at least

unanimous opinion that there will be an up
rising against the men who would at once
be suspected and that 1t would demand
many lives for the killing or the jeopardy
of any woman
A hung jury is expected because Of the al

sination of every person who has become
exposed antagonistic to the ring is
feared. Arson may substitute assassination
where the latter is for any reason not ex-
