party beside the Bishop of Durham. a clergy

cracked every little while astupid joke.
One OF the mans jokes was leveled at the
brilliant bishop Of Durham. whom he did not

the bishops garb was clerical. He was a par

ard, recently convicted for the third
time of the killing Of GOV. Goebel,
was assassinatcd and Hump Burns,
who accompanied Baker, was shot
through the arm In thrilling en-

opening of the Baker-IIoward feud
that has long been one Of the bloody
features Of Kentucky mountain life.
News of the killing of Baker comes

In this case, the slayer Is known.
WIN. McCullum is his name, but he
has not been caught, and no officers
have gone in search of him. McCol.
lum belongs to the Baker faction OF
Clay county. while, strangely enough,
Sid Baker was allied with the Howard
factions. The facts, as they have de-
veloped here. Dre as follows:
Baker and Burns were riding along
the road on the same horse, Bak n
behind. McCollum came in sight. Ac'
cording TO reports, Baker opened
hostilities, slipped from the horse,
and, drawing pistol, fred at McCol
lum, The horse had advanced and
SHED, bringing Burns directly in
range. He was shot in the arm. Ba-
ker fired again, but missed.
by this time McCollum had drawn
his weapon and returned the fire. His
first shot was true, the bullet strik-
Ing Baker In the abdomen. lie fell 10
the ground and lay there MORALLY
wounded, while McCollum got away
Baker was brought TO town and given
every attention but died within an
hour Of his arrival
In the last trial Of Jim Howard.
McCollum had been summoned by the
commonwealth - testify. lie was
not used, but 10 the bad feeling
caused by this the tragedy Is at,ri.
buted.

Baker Is the fourth to fall under his
pistol One of his victims was his
own brother, Dennis McCulom, for
killing whom William was acquitted
In Manchester few months ago. Te
also killed Chad Hall and Ace Gilbert,
For the murder Of the former, which
took place in Clay county. he was
tried on change Of venue.
McCollum il not - years old. lie

Il n dead shot under any circum.
stances, lie Is nephew Of julie
Webb, who was shot 10 death through
the window Of the Manchester Jail, in
which he was n prisoner.
