A SAD TRAGEDY.
Ten-Year-0ld Boy Shot His Six
Year-0ld Brother
With Rifle.

A very sad tragedy was enacted at
Livermore last Friday when Carl
King, six years old, was accidentally
shot and killed by his brother, Ira
King, ten years old. They are sons
of Mr.. Wash King. The boys were
playing at war. The younger child
started to charge the elder brother
with an AK, when the latter drew
aim with 22-calibre rifle which he
thought was unloaded. The gun
was discharged, the bullet taking eff
feet in the right eye. Death result
ed in thirty minutes.
The father of the children was in
Owensboro when the dreadful acci-
dent occurred, and returned home
Saturday morning.
The inquest was held at 10 o'clock
Saturday morning at the home of
Mr.. King, and the verdict return
ed in accord with the facts as set
forth in the foregoing.

side of forty, correctly. how to
fence. to row. to skate, to swim, to
ride and to dance.
When the weighty side demanded
his services in court, his full duty
was discharged to his client in q
manner worthy of imitation by his
fellows, which was frequently at
tempted with small success. In po-
litical debate he had an inimitable
method of taking care of himself,
and yet avoided personalities on
any exhibition of temper. In this
connection an old friend has said
that when he ran for the Legislature
against Henry Rock, an old time
politician of great shrewdness in de-
bate, Mr.. Rock, on the stump, an
nounced that the McHenrys were
very good people, but that the coun-
ty had quite enough of the family;
that Estill's father had represented
the county i'm the Constitutional
Convention: two or three times in
the Legislature and State Senate; in
Congress; that his brother had rep
resented the county in both houses
of the General Assembly, and now
this boy wanted to 90 before he was
scarcely large enough, adding: THE
first thing you know fellow citizens.
the people "off" won't think we
have any body else down in these
parts except McHenrys." To this
Mr.. McHenry simply replied that he
knew it was a great misfortune to
have been born a McHenry. but that
he was so small at the time of his
birth that he was unable to help
himself" Thus confessing his guilt
in the matter of accident of birth.
and after craving pardon of his au-
dience for same, he launched into
the real issues of the time and car
ried the crowd. Mr.. Rock was over
whelmingly defeated at the polls.
He left Hartford at about twenty
six years of age and permanently
located in st. Louis; his life here
furnished a bright page in the old
towns history; full of grateful and
affectionate memories, and his old
friends truly revere his memory.

Mr.. MCHenry Dead.

The death of Hon. Wallace Estill
McHenry, which occurred at his
home in st. Louis on the 2lst, ult.,
was a shock and matter of sincere
grief to his surviving old friends at
Hartford.
His death calls to mind many
pleasant recollections and remines-
cences, on the part of his Old Hart
ford associates. Mr.. McHenry was
born at this place, of our best pio-
neer stock. His parents moved to
Owensboro when he was but lad.
and when about of age he returned
here where he practiced law and en-
gagged in politics to some extent, go-
ing to the State Legislature for one
or more terms. His handsome face
and figure; his unusual musical
voice; perfect manners; universal
gentleness of purpose; his good
judgment in matters of weight; his
bright repartee, always without
sting, made him the toast, if not the
very pet of the old and young, and
every other class of society.
"Mr. .Estill' was authority for all the
light accomplishments, he taught

SCALPEO BY INDIANS.
Ohio Co. Woman Lived to Tell
= Story to Grand Children.
Interesting Relic To Be Exhibited
In Louisville Heme Com
ing Week.

In response to the request for
relics from our county, calling to
mind pioneer days, there has been
sent to this office a piece of stone,
which once marked the grave of an
Ohio county woman. whose fright
full experience with the Indians is
perhaps the most remarkable on
record.
Annie Barnett came with her par
ents to Kentucky from Virginia
about one hundred and twenty
years ago. The settlement was near
the present site of Hartford, which
was then known as Barnett's Station.
About the year 1890 Miss Barnett
and a party of settlers was attacked
by the red men, who made frequent
raids on the pioneers of those times.
The young woman fell in faint
from fright. The Indians, thinking
that she had been killed scalped her
and left hurriedly. hotly pursued by
the men of the fort. However she
recovered and lived to tell the story
Of her thrilling adventure to numer-
Gus children and grand children.
She lived forty-five years after the
incident.
About this time two little girls,
one named Barnett and the other
Galloway were carried off by the
Indians and kept in captivity for
several years. They were playing
outside the stockade and were sur
prised, their captors taking them
across the Ohio river into territory,
now the State of Indiana, near the
present city of ViHcennes. 1t re-
quired large ransom, paid in
horses to secure their release. They
were about twelve years old when
recovered. and had become some
what accustomed to the out door
life of the savage.
The woman who was scalped. is
buried within one mile and a half of
Hartford.
The following card, which was
prepared by Mr.. f. p. Barnett, will
be attached to the piece of stone and
sent to Louisville, and will be
exhibited here during the Street
Fair:
"A piece of the tombstone at the
grave of Annie Barnett (consort of
Robert Baird who was born Octo-
ber Ia, ITO, with parents emigrated
to Kentucky at an early day, and
settled in what is now Ohio county.
About the year 1890, Annie, with a
party of settlers was fired on
by Indians from ambush. She was
so badly frightened she tainted and
fell, the Indians coming along scalp
ed her and left her for dead but she
soon recovered and returned to the
ancient stockade, known as Barnett's
Fort and died in Ohio county June
22nd, 1885.

Citizens of Tarrytown Elect President

Once more John Wirth has defeat
ed John D. Rockefeller by being elect
ed borough president of Tarrytown.
When he ran last year he was oppos-
ed by the oil king and his hundred
and one employees en- the big Pocanti-
co estate, but Wirth pulled through.
He carried out every one Of his
pledges to the voters and on the
strength of this decided to make the
race again this year. Last year Mr..
Rockefeller personally directed the
fight against the village butcher. This
year he has refrained from active
participation in the village election
because of the pernicious activity of
subpoena servers. Mr.. Rockefeller,
contrary to custom, remained at Lake
wood. In some mysterious way, how
ever, the oil king sent word that
Wirth must be defeated and 200 en-
ployes Of Pocantico Hills came down
in sleds and lumber wagons. But the
Tarrytown butcher was again trium-
