TOBACCO war GROWS BITTER
BUYERS AND GROWERS FAIL TO
AGREE REGARDING MARKET
ING OF CROP.

Louisville, KY, Jan. S. - Although
all was apparently quiet last night in
the war between the tobacco growers
of Kentucky and Tennessee against
the American Tobacco company the
deyelopments of the day have given
great uneasiness.
The town of Russellville was raid
ed by night raiders early yesterday
morning. After overpowering three
policemen and providing against the
giving of an alarm, the marauders
dynamited and burned two tobacco
warehouses and a planning mill and
partially destroyed three smaller
buildings. Three men were wounded
and the telephone girls and police
held prisoners for nearly three hours.
Will Not Ask for Troops.
Russellville was quiet last night,
but the sheriff and his deputies, the
police and the citizens were on the
alert to prevent any repetition OF the
OutrageS.
1t was decided by the peace officers
that, in view of the improbability OF
another raid, the governor would not
be asked for troops. State Fire Mar
shall Mott Ayres, however, is On his
way to Russellville and will begin an
immediate investigation of the raid.
The most disturbing news of the
day, following as it did on the heels
of the Russellville raid, was the fail
ure of the Burley Tobacco society and
the chief buyers for the American To-
bacco company to agree regarding the
marketing of the 1907 crop held by
the society.
Buyers Are Arbitrary.
The parties met at Winchester, in
accordance with the terms Of COM
promise agreement recently brought
about by Gov. Wilson.
The Burley society issued state
ment last night after the failure of
the conference, declaring that after
making concession in regard to the
amount to be bought and failing to
agree on a price for the smaller
amount proposed by the company, the
growers asked the buyers If they
would consider further propositions
The buyers, according to the state
. ment, declared that further PROPOSE
tons we're useless.

PRINCE WHIPPED
BY COUNT B0N|.
ROUGH AND TUMBLE FlGHT is
PULLED OFF IN STREETS
OF PARIS.
,aOTHtR JEAN HELPS OUT
KICKS HIS PHOSPHATE COUSIN
WHILE BoNI HOLDS HIM
WILL BE NO DUEL.

Paris, Jan. 4.-Count Boni de Castel-
lane, whose fame rests upon the fact
that he is the divorced husband of
Anna Gould, had rough and tumble
fight in the street yesterday with his
cousin, Prince Helie de Sagan, and
the prince emerged from the conflict
Second best"
The prince on several occasions has
been reported to have become engaged
to Nine. Gould, but these reports have
been denied by the former wife Of
Count Boni. The count says the fight
had noting to do with Nine. Gould or
her affairs.
The sensational encounter took
place at the Church of ST. Pierre de
Chaillot, while a memorial service for
the Late Lady Stanley Errington, a rel.
alive of both men, was in progress.
Kicked by Count Jean.
Beginning inside the church, where
Count Boni says the prince insulted
both him and the sacred edifice, the
encounter was resumed at the door,
way, where Count Boni, followed by
his brother, Count Jean de Castellane,
overlook the prince. Count Boni spat
in his cousins face. Then came the
clash of canes, followed by a rough
and tumble fight on the pavement
which ended in the gutter, where the
men we're finally separated by a big
butcher.
Count Boni at the moment of inter-
vention was holding down the we'll
nigh insensible prince. while Jean
was administering to him a severe
kicking.
Both Count Boni and the prince
gave their own versions of the quarrel
to the police, each claiming that the
other was the aggressor, but the
prince alone lodged a complaint charg.
ing the brothers with assault.
Duel Is Not Expected.
In view of the fact that Prince Hello
has elected to pursue the matter in
the courts, the idea of duel seems
to be precluded.
Last night Prince Hello was laid up
in bed with his head swathed in ban
dages, while Count Boni spent part
of the evening in visiting the news
paper offices, telling the story of the
encounter. He painted his cousin in
the blacklist colors, declaring that
Prince Helie had been ostracised by
his own family. not one of whom
would permit him to enter the house.

Proves to Be Bad Bargain.

Purchase ct the Yarmouth little
Proves to Be Bad Bargain.
London, Jan. 5.-The failure of an
other alliance Of the English nobility
with an American woman of wealth
became public yesterday, when the
Countess of Yarmouth, who was Alice
Thaw of Pittsburg, daughter of Mrs.
William Thaw and sister of Harry
X. Thaw, applied to the divorce court
for an annulment of her marriage to
the earl of Yarmouth.
The court has ordered that the pro
ceedings be held in camera. and the
papers are being kept secret
Public Hearing Inadvisable.
The only inkling obtainable of the
charges preferred is statement to
the effect that the nature Of the medi-
cal evidence to be given makes pub
lie hearing inadvisable.
The Countess of Yarmouth declines
to comment on the case. The Earl of
Yarmouth could not be found in his
usual London haunts last night.
1t has been we'll known for two
years that the domestic affairs of the
Yarmouths were most unhappy. The
earl's companions and his manner OF
living were such that he could not
give his wife the position in society
she had a right to expect.
Earl Was Expensive.
She supplied immense sums to de-
fray her husbands extravagances, and
her friends say she has conducted her.
self with dignity throughout the trou-
bles resulting from the unhappy mar
riage and her brothers difficulties.
The Hartford family, the head OF
which is the Earl of Yarmouth's IA
Their, and to the head of which the
earl is heir, he being the eldest son
Of the sixth Marquis of Hartford,
is one Of the Oldest and proudest Of
the English nobility. The notorie-
ty brought upon the family through
it's indirect connection with the Thaw
murder case was CALLING and this eli
max to the eldest sons marriage to-
Alice Thaw is a bitter pill.
