Holder. AT the final trial Smith,
Holder and Rusher were convicted
and given sentences to the state
prison.
In 1S92another Pincheco citizen,
named Cartwright, was murdered
by some unknown person. Sus-
picion pointed to a young man
named Tierney. He was arrested
and taken to Cloverport. While
the examining trial was in pro-
gress everybody present was
startled when Neal Burk appear
ed in court and confessed to the
killing of Cartwright. He claim
ed that he did it in self-defense,
and as there was no evidence to
the contrary, both Tierney and
Burk were released, and there was
never any further legal proceed
ings in the case.
On Christmas eve, in the year
1900, an old man named McCarven
was murdered. An investigation
developed the fact that the crime
was committed by the Burk boys.
Two of them were convicted and
sent to the penitentiary for a term
of years and have since been re-
leased before the expiration of
their sentence, but their freedom
depends upon their good behavior.
In July, 1892, Rollie Sanders
was shot and killed by a man
named McQuithie at a picnic in
the Pincheco neighborhood. The
prosecution could not overthrow
the plea of self-defense, and Nc
Quithie went free.
In 1908 the famous Lincoln
Smith, of Plncheco, was shot and
killed by Tom Keown, the marshal
of the town of Fordsville, Ky.
Smith resisted arrest and would
have killed Keown if the latter
had not been too quick for Smith.
The killing occurred on an Illinois
Central train.
All these murders were COM
mitted in Pincheco proper, and
there have been many other minor
crimes committed within the same
territory, such as cuttings and
shootings, and regular "knock-
down and drag-out' fights. 1t has
always been q common saying that
when a picnic was advertised in
Pincheco that the posters say,
lighting will begin promptly at
2 p. m, >" and whether the adver-
tisements contain such statement
or not, that it is the usual hour at
which fighting begins at Pincheco
picnic. As recent as ten years
ago fighting at barbecues, picnics
and social gatherings, was as COM
mon as cornbread on the tables of
the Pincheco people, and some
times the fighters would cut and
shoot to hurt. Some would cut
with knives and shoot with pistols,
while others would cut for home
and shoot under the bed to get out
of danger.
The foregoing describes Pinche-
co as it was i'll the past. 1t was
what is known to the natives as
"Ancient Pinchaco." The Pin
checoe of the present and the past
few years, or "Modern Pinche.
coe," as it is known, is situated in
the same territory as "Ancient
Pinchecoe," and has as fine a peo-
pie, as good citizens, as industrious
and honest men, as beautiful and
virtuOus women as any spot on
earth. The fighters have all been
killed, died of natural causes,
moved to other counties, or re-
formed, and the vicinity has un-
dergonc complete change.

as it is possible to be done.

gdge and Hancock counties, the
later portion in Hancock
county. 1t consists of about ten
4 square miles, and is of a Republi-
can complexion politically, that
party having a decided majority
of the voters. But Pincheco pro-
per comprises about five square
miles within the center of the
larger boundary, and within which
smaller territory some atrocious
deeds have been committed.
About the year 1850 Reuben
Martin was assasinated by some un
known person. The assassin shot
through a window of Mr. Martins
home, instantly killing his victim.
Martin was the owner of several
slaves, and it is supposed that
one of his slaves murdered him.
There were suspicious against a
certain neighbor but there was not
evidence sufficient to warrant an
arrest and trial, hence the matter
dropped and nobody was ever ar
rested or prosecuted for the crime.
In 1880 two of the Rusher boys,
sons of Henry Rusher, were shot
and killed by James Rogers, after
a considerable battle. 1t appears
that the Rusher boys had cut down
"bee tree" on Rogers land with
out his consent, resulting in the
duel which ended fatally to the
Rushers. Rogers was arrested and
put under bond for his appearance
for trial. He fled to parts un-
known and was never apprehend-
ed.
In 1885 an old man of the name
of Burns. who was an old bachelor,
lived alone in little house on the
old site of Victoria. He had ac-
cumulated few dollars. One night
James Smith, Miles Chana or cof-

no one in the vicinity seems now

his cabin and murdered him out

house Of hismoney. Chana or Cof-
fee was arrested. tried and convic-
ted. and sent to the state prison for
life. James Smith and two others
alleged to have been implicated in
the crime were chased to Eastern
Kentucky by the Officers of Han

take them, and the criminals made
good their escape.

BIG DEAL IN
REAL ESTATE.
Elizabeth Firm Buys Smith Street
Property for Party Whose

HAVE VALUABLE SITE.

An Elizabeth real estate firm COM
pleted deal yesterday with Ludwig
Wolf, proprietor of the Ludwig music
store, in Smith street, and Jacob
Kramer, of State street, whereby they
purchased two lots owned by these
gentlemen in Smith street, near Nc
Clellan.
The name of the firm for whom
the real estate firm purchased the
land will not be given out at present,
but it is understood that the price
for the property was $4,000.
One report has it that the land was
bought in for Butler Bros, the large
wholesale and retail grocers who for
a long time have been looking for a
desirable site here, and that as soon
as the weather permits they will
break ground and build one of the
biggest stores in this city, TO be used
by them as a wholesale house. An
other report has it that the land is
for theatre.
That the property was bought for
some one with a large backing and a
good supply of cash is certain, for it
is understood that each owner of the
land received a deposit OF $1,000
and that the balance will be paid
some time today.
In conversation with NEWS re-
porter Mr.. Wolf admitted that he had
sold his property to an Elizabeth real
estate firm. but said he did not know
what they were going to do with it.
Mr.. Kramer could not be seen as he
is in New York today.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 25:-
While little has been said in New
Jersey circles here regarding the visit
of Record and Pagan to the president
it is evident that it does not have the
approval of the congressional delega-
ton. Naturally, no one wishes 10
talk on the matter for publication.
but from what can be learned it is
felt that Mr.. Roosevelt is being mis-
lead as TO the correct sentiment in
New Jersey, and by taking up with
boilers and practically Disregard
ing the Organization" he is not act
ing altogether wisely. This idea is
gathered entirely by inference, and
yet it is presumably the consensus of
opinion among the Jerseymen. AS
all of the representatives are organ
ization' men it is but naturally that
they should not relish the president
making anything of two men who
are opposed to nearly everything that
the party at home advocates.
