SILLY TALK
OF A MOB .
Fairview Prisoners Hustled
Off to Princeton Wed
nesday Night.
HACK RIDE TO GRACEY.
There Seems to Have Been
No Real Grounds'fOr Fear
of Violence.

The county officials were led to be
lieve Wednesday night, from lot Of
irresponsible talk on the streets, that
the four negroes arrested on the
Myers farm charged with shooting
at Officer Amos Hayden and his posse
were in danger of mob violence, con-
sequently the men were taken over
land to Gracey during the night and
sent to Princeton the next morning.
After careful investigation no eVi-
dence of a threatened attack has been
found by the KENTUCKIAN. Lieuten-
ant Booth Morris, of the night police
force, had been instructed to keep
close watch and notify Chief Roper
of any signs of a mob. The only
unusual thing seen was the presence
of a number of negroes on the streets
who seemed to think their presence
might be needed as protectors. These
finally dispersed and the removal OF
the prisoners was ordered by Judge
Breathitt as a precautionary measure
and to allay the excitement among
the friends of the accused. As a mat.
ter of fact, there was no real danger.
The friends of young Doughertyo
who was shot by Joe Springfield.
assisted in bringing the men to jail
and had abundant opportunity to de
them violence if they had so desired.
Hopkinsville is a law-abiding COM
munity and such silly stories as have
been published in some of the papers
about mobs are as harmful as they
are ill-advised. The negroes were in
the custody of the city jailer for
many hours after their arrest and the
city authorities would have guarsn-
teed continued protection, but they
were county prisoners and it was
thought best to turn them over to
the county jailer.
The negroes will be brought back
for trial today.

Thursday afternoon he came down
in town shortly after lunch and went
to the Elks club rooms. He talked
to several friends for an hour and
about two o'clock complained of a
headache and taking a Sparks head
ache tablet lay down on davenport
saying he would try to take a nap.
After he had been lying down about
forty minutes some silver coin rolled
out Of his trousers pockets and fell
on the floor. At that time the club
chef, Henry Blumenstiel, was the
only person in the room. Mr.. Blum
enstiel picked up the money and
handed it to him, remarking: Your
money is like mine, you can't keep
it in your pocket" He replied,
Yes, these side pockets always let
things fall out when | lie down,
and continuing said: Here Blumer,
take this pistol too, it might fall out
and hurt me-" Reaching under his
right hip he attempted to draw the
pistol out of his pocket, when it was
discharged. Mr.. Blumenstiel is not
clear Just how it was discharged,
whether it hung in his clothing or
fell upon the floor, as it dropped to
the floor about the same time it was
fired. Mr.. Dalton said II am shot, "
and Mr.. Blumenstiel called to friends
on the lower floor to come at once.
Judge Douglas Bell and Judge j. l.
Landes were first to arrive and to
them he stated that he had shot him
self. This was to eXonerate Mr..
Blumenstiel, who was the only wit

though she is herself just recovering
from a severe illness and is almost
an invalid yet, she bore up bravely.
About 5 o'clock he was placed on a
stretcher and his brother Elks car
ried him to the .Sanitarium and DR..
Richard Douglas was telephoned for
and arrived from Nashville at 1920
and Immediately afterwards per-
formed an operation in the desperate
hope Of saving him. The sufferer
was perfectly conscious and calmly
told his brother Geo. D. Dalton, that
if he died it was his desire that he
should become his administrator
without bond and asked him to settle
up his affairs and Take care of
Cora and Wesley" His brother
promised to carry out his wishes.
The operation showed that he was
bleeding internally and that death
wac inevitable. The punctures in
his stomach were sewed up, but he
was notified that his condition was
hopeless. He retained consciousness
almost to the end and expired at
7:40 o'clock.
Mr.. Dalton was at the head of the
Dalton Stone Co., and controlled a
large number of hands and at times
carried pistol for his protection
The talk of an uprising of negroes
growing out of the mob talk the
night before, caused him to get out
his pistol, which he had not carried
for some time. He probably forgot
that it was in his pocket until after
he lay down.
Hilliard M. Dalton, better known
as Hicks" Dalton, was born at
Springfield, Tenn, in 1873 and moved
to this city with his mothers family
when child. He was reared here
and upon reaching manhood de-
veloped into one of the most pro-
gressive young business men in the
city. He had been in the stone
crushing business here, at Princeton,
Mo-, and at Lexington, S. c., but
had recently transferred his interest
away from home. He has been since
the first of the year promoting va
rlous enterprises, chief among them
the street railway, for which a fran
chise was granted Feb. 10. Under
Its terms, work was to begin by May
10 and five miles of track be complet
ed by Feb. 10, 1907. What bearing
Mr.. Dalton's death will have on this
enterprise remains to be seen. He
was under bond with a certified
check of $4,000 attached to the bond
to guarantee the construction of the
railway within the specified time.
Mr.. Dalton was married II years
ago to Miss Cora Payne, daughter of
the late Lewis P. Payne, and his
widow and little son 8 years old
survive him.
He was Secretary of Hopkinsville
Commercial Club, member of the
order Of Elks and of the Baptist
church.
He had a large amount of life in
the exact amount not being
Known, as he dealt largely in ely
'rs", or short-term policies.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
!fternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Bap-
list church.
