Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1903-05-23
Marketino Under pinicuities.

An Englishman in Russia thus tells
his experiences: When at Simfer-
opol it fell to my turn to do the mar
keting for our little mess. Not know
ing word of the language, it was not
an easy matter, but the inhabitants
were quite interested in my work and
did their best to assist me. By cack-
ling like hen and Growing like cock
l got eggs and fowls. Mutton was a
simple matter, single 'baa' being
enough. Fish was the difficulty. The
motion of swimming with my hands
puzzled the natives, but on my putting
one hand behind and waving it from
side to side like a fsh's tail there was
a dead silence for a minute or two,
and then with a shout of laughter one
intelligent individual said something
in Russian and took me straight to the
fish market"
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1903-05-23

Curtis Jett, charged with the murder
of James B. Marcum in the courthouse
at Jackson, in Breathitt county, KY,
May 4, was arrested at the home OF
his stepfather, Linville Hagan, near
Doylesville, Madison county, brought
to Winchester and placed in jail.
The arrest was made by Sherfffs
McCord and Stokeley accompanied by
half a dozen other men. The warrant
had been sworn out by Samuel Jet,
uncle of the accused man, who, how
ever, is his sworn enemy
The sheriff and his posse left Win
chester secretly at midnight. At Jack
sons ferry they put away their bug
gies and crossed the Kentucky river
to Madison county in canoes. They
proceeded on foot to the Hagan home.
Six of the posse were stationed around
the dwelling and Sheriff McCord and
Deputy Stokeley approached the front
door and knocked. Jett's mother an
swered and after some parley admit
ted them.
They found Jet awake, but still in
bed. He shook hands with the sheriff
and said that he would give no trouble.
Reaching under his pillow he drew out
his pistol and turned it over to his
mother to keep. He made no show
of resistance.
In the Jail Curtis Jett was communi-
cative on all matters save the killing
of Marcum. iii get out of this all
right was the only statement he
would make that could be construed
as a reference to the charge. He said
he wanted to be tried in Breathitt
county. He was bitter in denouncing
his uncle, who had him arrested, and
said that the score would be evened
up when he was at liberty.
When asked in reference to the
statement that five men will testify
that he killed Marcum he simply
