The Aberdeen (s. d. News in a re.
cent number expresses its opinion as
follows:
1T is sufficient argument in the
minds Of many newspaper advocates Of
the proposed rate regulation that the
railroads are opposed to the movement.
The people of South Dakota are too
level-headed to be swayed by such ar.
guments and win look upon the ques-
tion from the standpoint of merit
alone. Investigation will show that
the people Of this state have nothing
to gain by rate regulation and very
possibly have much to lose"
This questioning Of the proposed
policy in the West is not confined to
South Dakota. In Wisconsin the rate
commissioners themselves have reeog.

Glasgow Fire.

The large freight depot at this
place, with all of it's contents,
was destroyed Saturday night last
by a fire which originated in a
small garbage house at the west
end of the building. The fire
was discovered about 6:15 p. m.
by a train crew switching in the
yards and before the fire COM
pany could respond to the alarm
the blaze had gained such head
way that it was impossible to
save the building. It was only
by heroic efforts that the passen-
ger depot was saved. The only
thing of Importance saved from
the bnrning building was a part
of the records of the freight
agent, Mr.. r. B. Trigg. On ac-
count Of the roads leading back
in the country being covered with
ice for the past two weeks, very
few goods had been hauled from
here and the depot was crowded
to it's utmost capacity with goods
consigned to country merchants.
The loss is estimated at $40, 900
and may be more. This is con-
coded to be the most serious fire
that Glasgow has had in many
years, as it will effect all kinds
of trade. Not only will mer-
chants here be Inconvenience,
but several towns in adjoining
counties will feel the loss.
It is not known how the fire
originated, but that a spark from
the engine ignited some oil in a
garbage house is the most plausi-
BILE theory. The branch road and
building is owned by private par
ties here, but is being operated
by the L, & N. What is known
as blanket insurance was carried
on the building and contents, but
the amount is not known. work
on a new depot has already be-
gun. Glasgow Times.

A Question of Happiness.

Some one propounded this question
(Which is the happier, a man with
seven daughters, or man with $40, 900,

question taking one side or the other,
but giving no reasons. The three best
answers received were from j. w. An
derson, of Pulaski, D. R. Brown, of
Liberty, and Oscar Herren, of Bel
grade, Montana, their reasons being
about the same, i. e., man with seven
daughters would be the happiest be-
cause he would have all he wanted,
while man with ten millions of money
would be certain to want mere A. J..
Wheeldon, of Small, dissents from this
view; He says a man with seven
daughters would be the happiest man
except on Sundays, when the daughters
might each bring beau home with
her.

The President in his speech
before Republican Club of New
York. at its annual dinner in
honor of the memory Of Lincoln,
chose as the subject Of his ad-
dress the race problem and the
relations sustained to it by the
people Of all sections Of the coun-
try. The speech should, and
doubtless will, put an end to the
fear Of the Southern people that
Mr.. Roosevelt intends to use the
negro for political profit, and
holds out the hope that, in the
coming four years of his admins
tration, a long step forward will
be taken toward the final and
rightful solution of the prob
lem.
The position taken by Mr..
Roosevelt is in accord with that
of the closest students Of condi-
tons among the white men of the
South who recognize and are anX-
ious to discharge their obligations
to the negro. 1t gives to the lat
ter no hope Of having conferred
upon him any right or privilege
to which he has not entitled him
self by adequate mental and in
dustrial preparation, and lays no
restraint on the former which is
not imposed by law and the spir-
it of fair play. Read without
prejudice, the speech presents
just cause for encouragement
and renewed effort on the part
of the men of both races in the
South, and carries with it the ex-
pectation and belief that Mr..
Roosevelt, who now enjoys a
larger share Of popular confidence
than has been given to any other
President since Lincoln, is intent
on measuring up to the full
standard Of his responsibilities
and possibilities. -Lo us v lille

his Appellate District decided

this Appellate District decided
more cases than any Judge from
any other district, but he has
handled some of the most infpor-
tant matters that have come be-
fore the Court. Among these ca
ses the following might be cited:
Taylor VS.. Beckham; affirmed
by United States Supreme Court,
as to office of Governor.

wealth, as to long and short haul
clause. affirmed by United States
Supreme Court.
Green county VS.. Shortell, as to

Carter county VS.. Brooks, Is
R., 1884, as to act creating new
counties.
He also wrote dissenting opin-
ion in Pratt VS.. Breckenridge, as
to the power of election contest
boards, and dissenting opinion in
Meyler VS.. Wedding, 107; KY,
69l, as to jurisdiction on the Ohio
river, and this latter case being
appealed, the Supreme Court
adopted the view of the dissent
ing opinion.
1t is an important matter, both
to attorneys and litigants, that
all cases should be determined as
speedily as possible, and all the
judges Of the Court deserve cred
it for the improved conditions in
the Court Of Appeals, but it is a
special congratulation to the peo-
pie of this district, that their rep
resentative on the Court of last
resort has been in the largest
measure the means Of bringing
about the desired result.

An INDUSTRIOUS Official.

candidate for Judge Of the Court
of Appeals before the convention
that was held in this city in 1898,
one of the arguments used by his
friends in favor of his nominal
ton was his untiring industry.
/ All who knew him in the practice
of his profession conceded that
he possessed this qualification,
and also agreed that it was a
qualification of prime necessity;
but some argued that we had
elected industrious lawyers who
had not made industrious judges
and they could point with truth
to many instances. They said it
was one thing to be Industrious
in the prosecution of private bust
ness, but quite another thing to
give the same amount Of labor to
the duties of an official position.
The Court of Appeals was at
that time between two and three
years behind the docket, and
there was a we'll founded COM
plant that such a delay Of JUS
tice amounted to a denial Of it.
Since that time the Court of APP
peals has been disposing of its
business with such dispatch, that
at the beginning Of the January
term, it could be predicted that
cases would now be decided with
N a few months after their SUBJ
liSsion.
A member of the bar who has
some taste for details and inves-
cation has prepared the follow
ing which show CD the number
of cases decided by all the judges
in a single year, (2) the number
of cases decided by Judge Hobson
in each year, 60 the number of
cases decided by the Judge most
nearly approaching the maxium,
and (4) the average number de-
cided by each of the six Judges,
excluding Judge Hobson.

Patrick Brown, after whom
Browns Run was named and
made memorable on account of
the sharp battle with the Indians,
was the leader of the whites and
led them in pursuit of the foe,
and let in all military expeditions
from Severn's Valley.
He was from Hanover county,
Va, and came to Kentucky with
his brother, VIM. Brown, in 1772,
and reached Harrod's Station,
18th of July, in that year.

The last indian right in kentucky.

The last Indian right in kentucky,
Few of the industrious law
abiding citizens who dwell in and
about the vicinity Of the mouth
of Browns Run, know that they
live near one Of Kentucky's most
historic spots, but it is true, new
ertheless, for at place the red
men fought their last battle in
Kentucky.
Patrick Brown, father of the
late Alfred Brown, of Elizabeth
town, who was so we'll known to
many of our people, led the whites
who numbered fifteen or more,
and the Indians who numbered
fifteen were led by an unknown
chief. This account of that his
toric fight was found in the pa
pers of Judge VIM. R. Thompson,
who got his information from
John Walters, one of the partic-
pants in the battle.
From the ancient manuscript
furnished by j. V. Thompson, son
of Judge William R. Thompson,
we gather the following account
Of the battle:
HISTORIC LOCALITY.
One of the first hiftoric places
In Bullitt county is Browns Run,
a little stream which empties in
to the Rolling Fork just above it's
junction with Salt river. 1t is
the spot whereon was fought the
battle with the Indians in 1902,
which was the last invasion made
by them in this part Of Kentucky.
A party of twelve or fifteen In
dams visited Severn's Valley and
did some mischief, and were MAX
ing their way back to Indiana.
What was then known as Severn's
Valley, is now the site of Eliza
BEETHOVEN, and the beautiful val
ley above and below it. The In
dians had murdered two women
and five children, killed some
stock and burned several houses
and fled northward, closely pur-
sued by band Of brave 'front.'
iersmen, led by Patrick Brown,
father Of Col. Alfred Brown, of
Elizabethtown. 1t was late in
the afternoon when Brown and
his followers started in pursuit Of
the dusty murders, but so rapidly
they carried the trail that at sun
set they were close upon the de-
spoilers of their homes. They
found where the trail led down
into the Rolling Fork, and it then
being dusk, they went into camp.
No fires were built, but each
man slept on his arms, except
two trusted sentinels who guard
ed against Surprise. AS soon as
daylight came, the trail was ia
ken up and followed down stream
for a short distance when it cross
ed.
Following it across to the oppo-
site shore, they did not go far I'M
til they found the enemy still in
camp, between the banks of the
Rolling Fork and Browns Run,
smoking their pipes and warming
around the big fires.
The white men got in good po-
sition and got first fire and then
ensued a thrilling hand fight in
which fourteen Indians nnd three
white men were killed. The.
Chief, large, active fellow and
a fine shot, killed two or three of
the whites in the fight and de-
liberately scalped these in the
heat Of the battle, and seeing his
men all killed or wounded, fled in
the depths Of the virgin forest,
and made his escape. Many
shots were fired at him as he dis
appeared in the bush, but he
seemed bullet proof. In the out
set, one Of the Indians drew a
bead on Patrick Brown, but by
chance, just as he pulled the trig-
ger, one of his companions rush
ed in front of his rifle, and Brown

A NARROW ESCAPE.

When they reached Harrod's
Station, they met for the first
time in more than two years,
their brother, James Brown, who
came to Kentucky in ITO. The
next day James left, and when
they saw him next, he was among
the dead at the battle of Blue
Licks. Patrick and VIM. Brown
were with Gen. Logan, and reach
ed the battlefield after the fight
had ended and the enemies gone.
While retreating with St.
Clair's beaten forces, Patrick
Brown sprained his ankle, and
had to be left behind. The In
dams were pursuing them close
ly and searching every place and
Brown believing he would lose
his life at their hands, asked his
companions to kill him which they
refused to do, but gave him gun
and ammunition, and hid him off
the trail. Being hard pressed,
the whites were forced to leave a
large quantity Of whisky, which
the Indians found. They imme-
diately got drunk, became less
vigilant, and Brown was not dis
covered.
