Jackson, KY, June 4.-Early last
Friday evening a body of about sixty
armed men were noticed in Jackson.
they were not together but kept close
to each other. At midnight the prowl-
ers began to sneak across the street
from the bank south of the jail The
guards commanded them to halt. They
refused and in reply fired several
shots. The guards returned the fire.
The providers ran about a hundred
yards further and fired again. The
guards then poured three volleys into
| them in rapid succession. Moving OBJ
| Jects were discovered on the north
side of the jail and the guards fired
| again and killed cow. A few minutes
| before the firing, flash of lightning
revealed a squad of men on the hills
III the rear of the jail 1t was then
expected that concerted action was to
be made to reach the Jail and the
troops prepared to give any corners a
hot reception, but terrific storm was
raging and it was absolutely dark so
that no further demonstration was
smade.
| The camp of the troops was almost
swept away during the storm, 1t is
thought that Colonel Williams will
ask for more troops and equipment.

THE Flat OWNERS FATE.


A rich man built row of flats,
All modern and complete;
A velvet lawn stretched out in front
Along the dusty street.
And then he tackled sign up high
Above the passing crowd:
These handsome modern flats for
rent;
No children are allowed"
He garnered rents in golden store
And riches high he piled,
The while his building never rang
With laughter of child.
No childish feet went pitty-pat
Adown it's marble halls;
The roomy echoes never rang
With childrens loving calls.
The owner died, as all men must,
And neared st. Peters gate,
And DER the glowing arch he saw
The words that sealed his fate
The words he read we're writ in flame
And filled his heart with woe:
"This place is full of little ones
You'll have to go below"
Club-er-Yes, he was hit hard by the
social club.

THE MILITIA ON GUARD.

Louisville, KY, June A special
from Jackson, Ky, says:
With the state militia standing guard,
the grand jury of Breathitt county
began an investigation OF the assassi-
nation of Lawyer ]. B. Marcum. The
commanding officer of the militia has
ordered that no letters be written home
during the stay of the troops and an
other order instructed the men to re-
frain from conversation among them
selves as to the case.
Judge Redwine convened court at 10
o'clock. Sheriff Callahan notified the
court that he desired to be excused
from duty and that he wished tenn
porary sheriff appointed to serve in his
place. Judge Redwine assented, say
ing: Il intended to appoint substi-
tute, of course" and the court named
Charles Little as temporary sheriff.
The eldest daughter of Mr. Marcum
was in the court room when court
opened.
Among the first to be called as grand
jurors was Curtis Jet, relative of
Curd Jett, who is under arrest charged
with the crime. Mr.. Jett was excused.
The grand jury was sworn in at 1920
O'Clock and Judge Redwine instructed
the jurors, calling attention to the la
mentable conditions in Breathitt coun-
ty and urging that not only the actual
murderers of James b. Marcum be in
dicted, but that all who were in any
way connected with the murder be
treated likewise.
While troops were picketed around
the court house everyone who entered
the building was searched and no one
was admitted who carried concealed
weapons. The most important wit
nesses were not to be found Tond
Cockrill sent word from Winchester
that he did not propose to answer a
summons that would cost him his life
and charged thai his fear came from
those in county offices. He cited the
case of Tom Baker, who was killed at
Manchester by some one shooting from
a window in the sheriff's residence
while Baker was in custody of the
sheriff. Ceckrill insisted that his life
would not now be as safe at Jackson
as Bakers was at Manchester. An
other witness is Capt. John Patrick,
who had said he recognized the assas-
sins of Town Marshall James Cockrill,
when they fired from the court house
windows, and that one was a deputy
sheriff. Patrick was reported to be at
Catlettsburg, but nothing could be
learned of his whereabouts. He is a
nephew of John E. Patrick, who is as
sisting the prosecution for Mrs. Mar
cum.
Colonel Williams, in command of the
four companies of militia, summoned
the visiting press men about him and
asked that no sensational stories which
might bring the soldiers into disrepute
be sent The correspondents were
given tents to themselves, but owing
to it being within easy reach of the |
mountain across the river the Pan
handle point, from which any one
might be signalled out and shot there
is some misgiving, and the colonel was
asked to change the location. Some of
the correspondents are wearing sol
diers uniforms in the hope that this
will serve in good purpose.

TEA.3OOT CARVINGS.
How the Fantastic Wooden Objects From
the Far East Are Made.

The fantastic wooden objects which
come from the Far East ana are known
as ea-root carvings have long been tile
basis of prosperous industry in the
populous city of Foo-Chow. Strictly
speaking, tie name is misnomer.
Some of the carvings are made FROM
old tea roots and tea trunks, but the
vast majority. 9ine-tenthS at least, are
made from the roots and trunks OF
hard wood trees.
The carvings are almost invariably
made in two parts. pedestal ana one
or more human figures fitted to the lat
ter by pegs and holes. The former IS
made from root and the latter from Il
trunk. The roots are selected with COLI
siderable care. They must he comrar-
atively free from dry rot decay anu
worm holes, and must possess rude
symmetry. They are cleaned. scrubbed
and scraped and sawed 10 about the de-
sired size. Then the artist with chisel.
gouge. knife and piEcrrS removes root

plated.
The simplest design is thrce-.eGGcd

become a mother-more especially the
mother of strong, healthy boy-was the
height of glory for the faithful woman OF
the good old Bible days. Even now, when
maternity is not esteemed as OF yore, the
mother of healthy children is an object
of admiration. and sometimes envy, by her
neighbors. AS compared with ancient
peoples, the average American woman has
a low appreciation OF motherhood. There
are. however, great many exceptions to
this statement.
The accompanying letters from grateful
women who have been made strong,
healthy and happy mothers need no added
words of ours to make them convincing.
Catarrh had weakened and impaired thei:
entire systems. Peruna made them sound
