Washington, Feb. 9. - William S.
Rossiter who on Wednesday last was
appointed acting public printer in
place of Public Printer Stillings, who
is under suspension pending an inves-
tigation of the affairs of his Office,
went to the treasury department yes
terday to have his bond approved. The
department refused to consider the
matter on the ground that the presi-
dent had exceeded his authority in ap-
pointing Mr.. Rossiter; that under the
law the assistant public printer, Capt.
H. T. Brian, succeeds to the vacancy.
Under this informal ruling Mr.. Ros-
sitter later in the day stepped aside
and his place was taken by Capt.
Brian, who will administer the govern.
ment printing Office as acting public
printer for the time being. Mr.. Ros-
sitter, however, does not relinquish the
work of inquiry laid out for him by
the president. His position in the gov.
ernment printing Office becomes that
of the presidents personal representa-
tive, and he is proceeding with the in
vestigation upon which he is to base
his report to the president of condi.
tions existing there and of the best
methods of putting the big plant on a
business basis.
Capt. Brian took the oath of office as
acting public printer and Immediately
entered upon the discharge of his du-
ties.

JUDGE HARGlS KILLED BY sen
,amous Feadist Accused Of Mary Mar.
ders, Is Shot Down In His
Own Store.

Jackson, KY, Feb. 8. Former
County Judge James Hargis, for many
years a member of the state Demo
ratio committee, accused Of compile.
ty in many murders, and prominent
!gure in the feuds which have disrupt.
I'd Breathitt county for several years,
was shot and instantly killed in his
cneral store here yesterday afternoon
his son.. Beach Hargis. The son
lred five shots in rapid succession at
his father, who fell dead while his
Jerks were waiting on customers. The
exact cause Of the murder has not
oeen learned, but it is supposed to
have been the result of differences
which have existed between father
and son for some time.
Son Was Drunk.
The two men are reported to have
had a severe quarrel several nights
ago. when the father, it is alleged, was
compelled to resort to violence to re-
strain his son. Young Hargis, it is
said has been drinking heavily of late.
He came into the store late yesterday
afternoon and was apparently under
the influence of liquor. Judge Hargis,
it is said, spoke to his son about his
drinking and quarrel resulted. Fa-
tEer and son stepped behind counter
in the store, when the son, after only
a few minutes conversation, drew a
revolver and fired five shots. Four
took effect, the noted mountain charac-
ter falling dead.
Selects His Own Casket.
Young Hargis was arrested by Town
Marshal Goran Smith and Grover
Blanton and placed in Jail. He was
raving like maniac and the officers
were compelled to drag him to Jail.
Judge Hargis will be buried in
casket which he himself purchased
about month ago. Some time ago,
during the early part of last month,
Judge Kargis went to the National
Casket company and ordered coffin
costing $1,000.
About 4:30 o'clock yesterday after.
noon the following telegram was re-
ceived by the company:
Express to-day casket selected by
James Hargis, as he is dead.
Mrs. Judge James Hargis."
Judge Hargis has been for years
prominent figure in Kentucky in DO.
litical and criminal circles. He has fig
urcd in the courts in the mountains
for years on account of the murders
of DR.. Cox, Attorney Marcum and Jim
Cockrill.
Hargis had been on trial at various
times for completely in the murder of
James B. Marcum, Jim Cockrill and
DR.. 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, verdict having
been found against him in the circuit
court at Winchester.
The Hargis-Cockrill feud, out of
which grew the almost innumerable
tragedies with which Judge Hargis'
name is linked, had its inception in
political contest.
