WOOD TINSLEY PASS
ES QUIETLY AWAY.
Beloved and Respected Citizen
Succumbs to Deaths Call
After Lingering Illness.

With, sorrow we announce the deatN
on yesterday, of one of the Republic
ans most valuable stock holders and
one of the city's best loved citizens,
Mr.. Woodbury. Tinsley.
Mr.. Tinsley's kindness and gentle
ness was so we'll known to every cit
izen of Hartford, from the school boy
asking for mail to his associates in
business, and to the public generally,
that few will be able to think of him
as anything except a man of peace,
yet a few gray haired veterans Of his
regiment will remember the smooth
faced sixteen year old boy, who en-
listed at the first call for volunteers
in the Civil war and received his dis
charge five years later from the Unit
ed States service with the rank of Cap
tain-a rank won by fearless bravery
and irreproachable honor. During the
time he was in the United States SER
vice he was married to Miss Matilda
Barnett, the sister of the Republic
ans senior editor, and with her he
lived most devotedly and most happi-
ly through the succeeding years. Be-
sides his wife he is survived by the
following children: Mr.. Elmer Tins
ley, Hartford, KY; Mr.. o. R. Tins
ley, Beda, KY; County Clerk, w. S.
Tinsley and Mrs. Myrtle Bennett, wife
of S. f. Bennett.
Throughout his illness he was un-
complaining, unafraid, thoughtful OF
others and cheerful. He manifested
more solicitude for his beloved wife's
sorrow, than because of his own suf-
fering, and when the final summons
came he met death with calm and
holy smile of greeting, and passed the
gates quietly and peaceably.
The burial services will be perform-
ed at Alexander burial ground, two
miles north of Hartford, this even
ing at 2:3O o'clock, Rev. G. w. Dame
of the Methodist church will conduct
the services. To the bereaved wife
of his deepest affection, to the chill
dren of his unfailing love, and to the
many who feel his death as a person
al loss The Republican extends Its
coincidence.

Death of F. 0. Austin.

Flavius Odell Austin was born in
Ohio county, Kentucky, November 80,
1851. He was the son of Thomas
Odell Austin and Amelia Barnes Aus
tin, and was related 10 many people
in this county. He had been in i'll
health for some months. The end
came May 16, 1907.
Mr.. Austin was an intelligent bus
mess man, full of enterprise, backed
by a sound judgment. He did much
toward the development of Beaver
Dam, and Hartford was also benefit
ted by his enterprise and interests. He
was essentially public spirited and
took an active interest in the new
college. For business integrity he was
without a flaw. His immediate fam
lily consists of wife and five child
ren: Mrs. z. Wayne Griffin, and Mrs.
Hooker Williams, of Hartford, c. p.
Austin, Misses Nell and Marie Aus
tin, of Beaver Dam. He was mem
ber of the Methodist church, from which
he was buried on Sunday the IL, inst.
A large concourse of citizens followed
his remains to the new cemetery, at
Beaver Dam. His funeral was con-
Quoted in very impressive manner
by Rev. J. A. Lewis. He was devot-

Gap From M0rganfield to Shaw.
neet0Wn to be Built
at Once.

The Morganfield Sun is authority
for the statement that the L. &. ~
Railroad Co., is soon to build a road
from Morganfield to Shawneetown, Ill
distance of twelve miles, thus COM
pleting direct line in connection will
thesM. H. and Z. from Louisville to
st. Louis. 1t says:
The Sun is in possession of suffi-
cient information, however, to justi-
fy the prediction that it is only d
question of a very short time when
our city will be on a through line OF
that great system. (The l.. & NJ
All that is necessary to accom-
plish that great end is to fill the gap
between here and Shawneetown, ILL.,.
a distance of perhaps twelve miles.
That would give the J.. & n. a
through route from Nashville to ST
Louis, from three to four hours short
er than by way of Evansville. And as
soon as the line now being built out of
Il ht IL anu i<'y is
completed, a route four or five hours
shorter from Louisville to st. Louis
That the L. e n. officials have in
contemplation the immediate extern
sion of the NJ. & A. can be stated al
most authoritatively.
The filling up of this gap will make
trunk line of the new road now in
process of construction through Ohio
county. 1t will likewise greatly en-
hance the importance of the road and
the benefits to the people of the coun-
ty as well as other sections through
which it runs. 1t has since the very
inception of the proposal to build
through Ohio county, been the conten-
ton of those in a position to know
that the M. H. and Z. will be one OF
the most important of L. and n. lines
and the above assurance confirms theil
contention.

Judge Hargis soon after Cockrill was
killed and in answer to Hargis' ques-
ton II Cockrill was dead answered,
mo, but he soon will be-" Witness
said Hargis remarked that Callahan
and he were upstairs at the store wher
the shooting occurred, and then turn
ing aside, walked away singing.
M. ]. Peters had just stepped in
the court house door when Cockrill
was shot, and turning around saw
Judge Hargis and Ed Callahan stand
ing in the second-story window of the
Hargis store, each with gun in his
hand. He saw Curt Jett, soon after,
walk to the door of the court house
apd start across to the Hargis store,
when Judge Hargis shouted TO him
Go back.
Oscar Hagan said he saw Curt Jett
and Bill Britton come out the court
house door when a voice from the
Hargis store called, go back there" "
Logan Goss, who was laborer on
the Hargis farm when Cockrill was
killed testified that on the day of the
Cockrill murder all the farm hands,
with Britton as foreman, were hurry
ing getting in hay, but at noon Elbert
Hargis started with Britton to jack
son, saying to the hands they would
have to get in the hay the best they
could as he needed Britton in Jackson
The hands commented on it as pecu-
liar that Elbert Hargis should take
Britton away when they were so busy
with the hay.
Nose Feltner testified that he was
present in May and June, 1902, at sew
eral conferences at Hargis' store in
Jackson where the murder of Cockrill,
Cox and Marcum was discussed. He
said that Alex Hargis thought it
would be better to kill Cockrill first
and Marcum later, as he was prom
inent man. Judge Hargis said Damn

Jim Marcum out of my way"

HAD Seen PEAK
JUST ONCE BEFORE
Walker Tells of Being Shot at
Shorts Station And Was
Only Talking to Girl.

In statement furnished the Ovens
boro Messenger James r. Walker. who
was shot and seriously wounded by
Jack Peak at Shorts station, Daviess
county, a week ago, particulars of
which appeared in these columns last
week, declares that before the shoot
ing he had only seen his assailant on
one occasion. Walker says that he
was standing by the side of the bug
gy talking to Miss Dickens when
Peak shot him. His statement is in
full as follows:
Il was on my way TO the ball game
and didn't know that Peak was there.
l was driving tolerably fast and saw
buggy coming towards me but had
never seen Peak but once before in
my life and didn't know for certain
that 1t was he. He drove up in front
of me and turned around with his
horse going the same way as mine.
He drove along the side of my
buggy for forty or fifty yards. Peak
stopped and | told Miss Dickens that
wanted to speak to her. | went to
the buggy and had my hand on the
front wheel of Peaks buggy. Peak
says Get away from me, Walker,
or ! will shoot you Miss Dickens
pushed him away and told him not
to shoot me.
Il says, Peak, don't shoot me, for
l don't want to have any trouble with
you | stepped back on the girls
right side and Peak shoots over the
girls right shoulder. l says, Peak,
you have killed me- and ] started to
my buggy and fell before | reached
it. | did not mean TO harm Peak, for
l had nothing to harm him with"

that
FUSIONISTS Won
And Another Election to be
Held for Louisville Officials.
Frankfort Dispatch Seems to Con-
firm Rather Than Dis
pei Report.

A persistent rumor, and one bearing
the appearance of veracity, comes from
Frankfort to the effect that the court
of appeals has decided the Louisville
election cases in favor of the fusion
lists, and holding that no election was
held when the present city officers
were elected. This means that an
other election will have to be held in
Louisville in November of this year.
The rumor has created some ex-
citement in Louisville. 1t appears that
both Democratic and fusionist lead
ers got the tip Monday afternoon, but
among their own sets. Members of
both parties when asked about the
matter, admit that such is their un-
derstanding of the situation, but no
one of them undertakes to say that
he got his information direct from
any member of the court of appeals
bench.
1t is understood that the decision
was reached by a vote of five TO one,
Judge Cantrill not voting. There is
no information as TO which OF
the judges dissented from the decis-
ion of the majority.
A Frankfort dispatch says: When
cases on appeal are submitted to the
Kentucky Court of Appeals for de-
cision any effort. to ascertain what the
court is doing in their consideration,
or how any of the court stands upon
any proposition presented on the APP
peal, is very much frowned upon by
the Judges of the court. The publica-
tion of rumors as to the outcome OF
the cases came as a great surprise to
court officials and others here. That
the information is generally accpeted
here as correct caused the publication
to be more surprising, as such infor-
nation could only come from the con-
sultation room of the court through
some member of 1t who confided to
some one outside how his associates
stand upon the questions presented on
the appeal. Owing to the secrecy
which hedges about the court here in
its consultations, the first news that
the case had been assigned to Judge
John NJ. Lassing came here from Lou
isville, as did information Thursday
night of last week that the case had
been up in consultation during the af-
ternoon of that day. Interest natural
| ly being greater at Louisville In the
cases, the rumors came first from that
city, and then to officials here asking
verification, or that they be dispelled.
From the first day that the case came
up in consultation the rumors have
been most persistent that the judg-
ment of the lower court would be re-
versed and declaration made that the
election held in 1905 is invalid for fraud
sufficient to rise a question of who
was elected to the offices in contest.
Following the next consultation came
the story that the court stood five for
reversal and one for affirmance, and
next the rumor that all six Judges ia
vored reversal and the holding of an
other election Cor city and county Of

John Smith, the confessed conspira-
tor, who aided in the murder of James
Cockrill, testified in the trial of James
Hargis, at Lexington, that Hargis had
told him, in Frankfort, that he could
get a pardon for anybody in the peni-
tentiary, and Callahan told him he
ought to stand in with the Hargises.
Smith continued his story of the al
legged conspiracy and other evidence
strongly against the defendant was
brought out by the prosecution.

President Diaz, of Mexico, denies a
report published in New York that

Reports generally from European

and that the present high prices are
justified by conditions.
