TWO SETS OF DELEGATES.
They Will Be Sent by Florida Repub-
licans to the National Con-
vention.

ST Augustine, Fla. - Florida re-
publicans stand conspicuously in
the limelight as being the first to hold
their convention to select delegates
to the national convention, and it is
said here that the exciting scenes en-
acted Thursday are a forecast of sim
tilar scenes in other southern states,
caused by the efforts being made by
the anti-Roosevelt republicans for con
trol in the national convention. The
convention here was one of the most
remarkable in some respects ever held
10y any political party. 1t was really
two conventions held at the same
time in the same hall. The progress
of business was frequently interrupt
ed by knock-down and drag-out fights.
The officeholders' faction was called
to order by the chairman of the state
committee and they proclaimed them
selves as the regulars Resolutions
were adopted endorsing William II.
Taft for the presidency. On the other
side of the hall the contesting conven-
ton chose delegates untrammeled by
instructions, positive assurance being
given by Joseph n Steipling, who led
the movement, that despite the fact
that they We're branded as bolters by
the other convention, the delegates
they named would be seated in the
national convention.
The anti-Taft convention adopted
resolutions condemning the attempts
to control by means of federal pat

FAMOUS FEUD|ST
IS SHOT DOWN
EX-JuDGE JAMES HARGlS is MUIR
CERED BY HIS SON.
IN HIS STORE AT JACKSON.
The Author Of a Long Series of Trag-
edies in 8reathitt County, Ken
tucky, Is Slajn--The Story
of His Career.

Jackson, Ky. 49, EE-County Judge
James Harsis, for years mem
ber of the state democratic executive
committee. accused of completely in
many killings and q prominent figure
in the feuds which have disrupted
Breathitt county for years. was shot
and instantly killed in his store Thurs
day by his son, Beach Hargis
The son fired five shots at his ia
ther who fell dead while his clerks
were waiting on customers. The eX-
act cause of the murder has not been
learned, but it is supposed to have
been the result of differences which
have existed between father ard SON
for some time.
Young Hargis was arrested by Town
Marshal Smith and Grover Blanton
and placed in Jail He was raving
like a maniac and the officers were
compelled to drag him to Jail.
Judge Hargis has been for years
prominent figure in Kentucky in po-
litical and criminal circles. He has
figured in the courts in the mountains
for years on account of the murders
of DIR. Cox, Attorney Marcum and
Jim CCckrill. Judge Hargis was
the political leader of the democrats
+Dl tle ltHlH tlSlIlCI anu WIS lle
boss of Breathitt county. For years
his sway was not opposed, but some
years ago Mr.. Marcum had the temer-
ity to oppose Hargis in a law case.
From that date Marcum was a marked
man.
Hargis had been on trial at various
times for completely in the murder of
James B. Marcum, Jim Cockrill and
DIR. Cox, but had secured an acquittal
,on all the charges. He was recently
forced to pay a Judgment of $4,000
to Mrs. Marcum in connection with
the death of her husband, a verdict
having been found against him in the
circuit court at Winchester
The Hargis-Cockrill feud, out of
which grew the innumerable tragedies
with which Judge Hargis' name is
}linked, had its inception in a political
contest. The Hargis family had long
been dominant in Breathitt county
where they conducted a general store
and were engaged in the lumber busi
ness The brothers, James, Alex. and
Ebert, were good business men and
accumulated what. in the mountains,
is a great fortune.
The trouble with the Cockrills
arose when the Cockrills opposed the
iHargiscs at the polls. Feeling was
bitter, when one day Benjamin Har-
gis, a younger brother of Judge James
Hargis. met one of the Cockrill boys
in a blind tiger" near Jackson. There
was a gun play and Cockrill killed
benjamin Hargis.

OF feminine spectators, Frank Shell
drake, employed in a meat-shop here
faced an embarrassing situation re-
Gently. Leaving the cold shop he had
entered living rooms in the same build
ing and stood in front of an open
CRATE with his back to the fire. En-
joying the warm glow, he was ignorant
that his apron strings had ignited, set
ting fire first to his trousers, then to
the tail of his coat Finally discover
ing the situation, Shelldrake tore off
his apron and coat, but had to stop
there because there were women in the
room.
They tried to help him, but
didn't do much good. With the fire
eating into his flesh, Shelldrake finally
made a dash for an adjoining room,
where he rid himself of the corduroy
pants he was wearing for the first
time
Aside from blisters, Shelldrake was
uninjured, although he is not able to
sit down.

TO MANAGE TAFT's CAMPAIGN.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Hitchcock Will Resign His Office.

Washington. d. C.-Announcement
was made Friday of the approaching
retirement from the postal service OF
Frank II. Hitchcock, first assistant
postmaster general. Mr.. Hitchcock
will assume the active management
of the campaign of Secretary Taft for
the republican nomination for the
presidency. The exact date for the
retirement has not been determined
but it probably will be about February
1J.
Mr. Hitchcock will be succeeded as
first assistant postmaster general by
DR.. Charles p Grandfield, who, for a
little more than two years, has been
chief clerk of the bureau over which
Mr.. Hitchcock presides. DR.. Grand
field has been actively identified with
the postal service for 20 years.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Hitchcock
was requested by Secretary Taft to
undertake the management of his
campaign. The secretary desired to
enlist his services, not only because
he is widely known and has had val.
liable experience in campaign work,
but because he felt the necessity of
having man in charge to whom he
could refer questions that were arising
constantly and to which he was un.
able to devote the time they seemed
to demand.
