fEUDIST LOCKED in CAR
MEETING BETWEEN TOM COCKRELL
AND ALEX. HARGIs PREVENTED.
Another Outbreak at jackson, KY,
Expected-NO One Arrested for As
sassinating Lawyer Marcum.

LEXINGTON, KY, May 5.-By locking
Tom Cockrell in the negro compartment of
the smoking car to-day the conductor Of
the Louisville & Nashville east-bound train
prevented meeting between the sole sur
vivor of the COckrells, young man not far
in his twenties. and Alex. Hargis. Cockrell
killed Ben Hargis about one year ago, when
the Hargis- -Cockrell feud was especially
bitter, and James Cockrell, the town mar
shall, who was assassinated from the court
house at Jackson last July. was his brother.
Hargis is one of the three surviving broth
ers who give name to one of the factions.
He boarded the train at Winchester, bound
for Jackson, where the assassination of j.
B. Marcum had reopened the feud on Mon
day. COckreil, who is a voluntary exile
from Breathitt county. boarded the train at
Redwood, climbing on the front steps of
the forward car. In his hand he carried a
A-caliber Colts revolver. Realizing instant
ly that meeting would probably mean a
tragedy, the conductor locked Cockrell in
the negro compartment at Walker Creek, a
small flag station. Cockrell sprang from
the window of this coach, leaped behind the
depot and secured rest for his pistol, cover
ing the line of windows in the coaches. Har-
gis was not in sight as the train passed on.
Whether Cockrell intended to be the aggres-
sor or in the defensive in his actions cam
not be stated.
Wood G. Dunlap. of this city. left to-day
for Jackson, KY, as attorney for the flu
sionists in the Breathitt county contested
election cases. He succeeds as counsel
James b. Marcum, who was killed in the
courthouse yesterday while filing papers
in these cases. 1t is feared here the pro-
ceedings at this time will precipitate fur
ther trouble in the Cockrell-Hargis feud, in
which a half dozen lives have already been
lost
Not line is being sent out Of Jackson
KY, by local or resident correspondents for
fear Of the feudists. A reliable man who
came to-day from Jackson to Lexington
over the Lexington & Eastern Railway
on being promised that his name should
not be used said the conditions at jackson
were deplorable and renewed hostilities be-
tween the friends of Marcum and those
now in power are imminent No arrests
have been made and there are no efforts
made to apprehend the assassins. The wife
of Marcum went to see the dead body of
her husband to-day for the first time, but
Marcum's friends have been afraid to be
seen taking any interest in him. Mrs. Mar
cum went to the courthouse and wiped up
the blood of her dead husband with her
handkerchief

LONDON. KY. May 5.-News was re-
ceived here to-day of the death yester-
day in Clay county Of Sid Baker, brother
in-law of James Howard, recently tried
for the murder of William Goebel His
death was the result of duel on the high
way with William McCollum. As soon as
they met Baker slipped from his horse and
fired at McCollum twice without hurting
him. McCollum then shot Baker in the
abdomen. Bakers grudge against McCol-
lum is supposed to have arisen from the
fact that McCollum had been summoned
as a witness against Howard. though he
had not been put on the stand.

ALL ABOUT A HORSE.
Passed From Owner to Owner and
Was Not Happy.
CONFUSED THE GRAND JURY.

rather intere sting case concerning
a horse was presented to the grand
jury at the recent term of court in Va
lencia county. Persons in Albuuuer-
que who had suffered some loss from
dealing with the horse made state.
ments of the facts, so far as they knew
them. TO the district attorney. and from
those statements it appeared that prob
ably the horse had been stolen. A
large number of witnesses were
brought before the grand jury, but
their evidence developed, in substance.
the following state of facts:
More than two years ago Andres Gu.
tlerrez. of Valencia, sold a horse. hav-
ing on it the brand of his brother in
law Jose de la Cruz Luna. to Isidro
Martinez, of Torreon. About two wears
ago, Martinez sold the horse to Lean.
dro Benavides, of Torreon, who shortly
after sold the horse to his uncle. Jose
Severiano Sanchez. This Sanchez sold
the horse about year afterward to
his brother, Nicolas Sanchez Nicolas
Sanchez sold the horse to Jose Ignacio
Perea, of Albuquerque. who sold him
to Pascual Cutinola, who in turn sold
him to his father in law. Manuel Can
delaria. A little later Candelaria sold
the horse to a man living at Escobosa.
whose name the witness could not re-
member, but this man sold him to Juan
4 .la -
and Montoya sold him to Cirilo Mon
toya; Nicolas Sisneros, of Abo. discov-
cred him and claimed him as his horse.
which he did and he in turn compelled
his vendor to pay him. Then, Manuel
Candelaria was compelled to pay that
man and Cutinola then reimbursed
Candelaria and called upon Perea, who
promptly paid. Perea tried to commu-
nicate with Nicolas Sanchez and wrote
him letters which were never answer
ed, and he naturally thought that the
horse had been stolen.
All these facts were developed only
after a long and careful investigation
by the grand jury. 1t was also brought
out that the brand of Jose de la Cruz
Luna was a circle with a ] inside 1t,
and the brand of Nicolas Sisneros was
a like circle with an 5 inside. 1t seems
probable that the difficulty
about the horse from a mistake as to
the brand, caused by the two brands
being SO much alike, and the grand
jury was unable to believe that there
was sufficient evidence to Justify in
dlctment against any one.
