ness. What will be done by Circuit
Judge Moss cannot be learned. The
people of Cumberland Gap, Tenn,
are tsrrorized as the band of des-
peradoes have made several visits to
the town and the people of Middles-
boro are hoping that the Tennessee
authorities will also take the matter
in hand.
To send the local company of 40
men against these desperadoes
would be out of the question as they
are supposed to number 20 men OF
the most desperate character, and
are determined to resist any move on
the part of the militia. Richard Be-
harmon, the local Western Union
manager, was openly warned to dis
continue sending press matter about
the situation.
Men, women and children are
afraid to express an opinion, and 1t is
almost impossible to get united .ac-
ton upon the part of citizens. The
crisis must be reached soon, as a
desperate condition exists, and the
people of the town are becoming ter
rorized.
With the exception of continual
patroling of the streets by deputy
sherlffs and the militia, Middlesboro
today shows little effect of the siren
uous hours of yesterday. Business is
practically paralyzed and streets in
the business portions of the city
practically. deserted. Opinions as to
Whereabouts of Ball brothers differ
widely, although is generally believ-
ed that j. Frank Ball has left the
country. Huston Ball, his brother,
who is one of the best known bust

Shelby Ball was not injured in yes

London, Nov. 6.-The Odessa cor

$4,000 VERDICT
GIVEN MRS. HEAD
Jury Decided Big Damage Suit
Against Cheatham Hodge.
The Widow Sued Him For $4,000
Damages and the Jury Brought
In Verdict Early Today.
NEW TRIAL TO BE ASKED FOR.

The jury i'm the case of Mrs. NJ. E.
Head against Cheatham Hodge for
$4,000 damages for alleged respon-
sibility for the death of her husband,
Pink Head, this morning brought in
verdict for $4,000 damages, one
of the largest verdicts in the hstor5
of McCracken county.
The case consumed two days Of
court last week, and was given to
the jury this morning ait $3.50 O'Clock
The jury retired and after being out
ONE hour and a half returned into
court the verdict for SIS 900. The
widow asked $4,000 damages.
The case developed some startling
testimony. There were about 80 wit
.rrsses here for the defense and
Hodge employed to defend him seven
attorneys. The plaintiff had three.
The petition alleged that Hodge shot
or was responsible for the shooting
Of Head, who was killed ON the night
off September 2sth, 1908, while he
stood on his back porch. Mrs. Head
testified that she saw a man who re-
sembled Hodge escaping after the
shooting and introduced two witness
IS who stated that Hodge had told
them that she had put Head away,
and "if they did not keep their faces
closed about 1t, he would ereat them
likewise. T"
Hodge tried to prove an alabi and
had about 80 witnesses ON his side.
The facts of the killing briefly stated
are as follows:
Some one in the vicinity of Gin
ION wtIrire Hodge and Head had adt
Joining farms had been burning
barns and committing vandalism OF
lhe worst sort. Hodges barn burned
and Head was suspected By Hodge,
and the evidence showed that Hodge
and his brother Bob w:nt out one
night to lay in wait for the incendl-
airy.
They did not watch together, bu'
apart. and when Bob Hodge came to-
wards the other he was mistaken
for the incendiaGy and was shot and
killed. That was onsi version. Inc
other was that Hodge and his brother
went to kill Head and carried &
chicken to attract him out of the
house thinking that he would be-
lieve some one was a6hr his chickens
md come out. The chicken got away
and Robert Hodge, according to that
version, went in pursuit and in cir
culating about was mistaken by his
brother. for Head and killed. Later
HAD himself was killed. Hodge
moved to Paducah a short time ago.
The suit was ably fought ON both
sides. and it was said by many atoor-
news Saturday after the evidence was
complete that they never saw closer
caa.i. there being about as much evil
6ence one way as another.
A new trial Will be sasked, and an
appeal taken In event 1t is refused.
