Victim of Night Riders.

Owingsville, Ky. Feb. 17.-Con-
siderable mystery surrounds the death
of James Smelling. OF Bethel, who died
from a gunshot wound.
Two stories are told of the manner
in which Smelling received the wounds
but the Investigation so far made has
failed to show which is correct. One
statement is that Smelling was shot
while with the gang of night riders
which attacked Thomas Everman {
barn a few weeks ago. while the other
story is that Smelling was murdered
and that the night riders story Is be-
ing told to shield the real slayers.
II is known that man was shot in
the attack on the Everman barn. The
riders attacked the building. which
was guarded. coming out into the open
and firing at the guards. The shots
were returned, and after possibly sew.
'enty-five shots were fired the riders
left. An examination of the spot where
the riders had fired at the guards
showed a pool of blood. No trace was
ever found of anyone who had been
recently wounded in that section.
