INDICTMENTS.

At Lexington the grand jury re.
turned many indictments concern
ing election irregularities. The
Herald prints the list (INCLUDING
THE NAMES OF THE INDICTED TWEEN
ty men for knowingly receiving
the vote of one not qualified &c
vote. OF these, four are indicted
four times and four five times.
Well known men, both Democrats
and Republicans, are caught. We
have no cause to change our Opin-
ion that a man who is knowingly,
and intentionally dishonest in an
election will be dishonest in other
matters if he thinks he has as good
a chance to escape detection.
Some folks in Mt. Sterling will see
that in other towns besides Mt.
Sterling there can be found a
newspaper which will print the
names of PROMINENT men who are
indicted for ! iolatine the law.

HAS HE CHANGED ?

At the last session of the Senate,
the Hon. G.. B. Ecton, our Sena-
tor, was Chairman of the Commit
tee on Religion and Morals. Mr..
Ecton was earnest in his support
of the County Unit Bill. 1t is now
reported that he is not in favor of
the County Unit Bill. Can it be
that our Senator, who made more
than a State reputation as the
champion of Temperance, Religion,
Morals and Virtue, has changed
front Winchester Sun-Sentinel.
As soon as we saw above we
wrote to Senator Ecton at Frank
fort. On Sunday from Winchester
he called by telephone, thanked us
for kind letter and expressions OF
confidence and assured us that il
he had one hundred votes he would
cast them for the County Unit Bill
eliminating the cities of four class
es, moreover, he would gladly vote
for a STATE unit bill.

FATAL SHOOTING.
Clint Allen Kills a Negro Man.

Clint Allen, formerly of Bait
county and saloonist of this city
but now a guard at tobacco ware
house, was enroute home fo
supper on Monday at $50 o'clock
He stopped at S. p. Greenwade''
store to buy some coffee.
Perry Turner, colored, was in
the room, waiting while a man
went to buy some whiskey for
him.
Farmer Fitzpatrick, the clerk,
was the only man present except
Allen and Turner, and was wait
ing on Mr.. Allen.
Turner turned toward Allen and
made remark about taking a
crack at YOU" and reached for his
pistol which was in his inside right
coat pocket, handle down. Allen
fired five shots; one struck Turner
on right cheek, one near center of
breast and others missed. Turner
walked a few feet from the door
and fell dead Or dying on the
pavement.
Allen went to Baumont Hotel
and surrendered to Sheriff Prewitt.
The removal of the dead man was
delayed
On Tuesday morning after con-
ference of County Judge, Attor-
ney, Coroner and others, the ex-
amining trial of Allen was set for
Friday.
About two years ago Turne,
shot and wounded a brother of
Allen and has recently Threatened
Allen. He is reported TO be n
drunken, dangerous End impudent
negro.
The information above was re-
ported to us. We saw the pistol

FINE HORSES.

All persons interested in the de
velopment of fine horses will read
with interest the article on first
page. The people of our county
will be pleased to know that one
of our own citizens is a breeder of
a noted family of horses, and il
horse-circles has reputation for
producing animals of which any
breeder would be proud. The
Herald, from which we take the
article, has cuts of three of Mr..
Jchnson's famous horses-Cloud
King, Emerald Chief and Golden
King.
Not merely for personal gain and
fame have Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson
devoted much time and thought to
the development of their horses,
but they have through these years
d sired to make Montgomery coun-
ty the home of noted horses, fa-
miliar to every fancier of horse
flesh. This is a laudabIe ambition.

O'CLOCK Beech HarglS, aged ~
years, only son of Judge James
tiargis and wife, entered his faith
er's store at Jackson, KY, under
the influence of whiskey. When
he entered, his father was talking
to a man, who few minutes be-
fore had left the drug store of DR..
Hogg, where Beech with pistol
had become master of ceremonies.
There were few customers in the
store at the time, and, according
to report and apparently without
provocation, the wayward son,
who has given much anxiety to his
parents, pulled pistol and began
firing at his father, who, seeing
the danger, attempted to disarm
the would-be assassin. The son
threw coat over the fathers face,
thus momentarily binding him.
In rapid succession and before any
one could realize what was up, the
son fired five bullets from a pistol
into his father. One struck below
the left nipple, three in the abdo-
men and one in the leg. The
father sank to the floor, exclaim-
ing, "Oh, mercy, I'm killed.
These were the only words uttered
by him. DR.. Kash came in and
Immediately the dying man was
carried to his residence in the
same block under the bluff. He
died before reaching home.
The police arrested the son at
the store door and led him to jail.
Great excitement soon spread over
the town.
Evidently anticipating that death
might soon come to him, Judge
Hargis, while in Louisville a few
weeks ago, entered a business
house and asked to see some
coffins-the finest. He ordered
mahogany casket, solid silver han
dies and fitted in finest style, cost
ing $500, and told the clerk to
hold it until ordered to ship it.
On his return to Jackson he in
formed his wife of the purchase.
On the afternoon of the killing
this message was sent, signed by |
Mrs. James Hargis: Please
send at once the casket which |
Judge Hargis picked out, as he is
dead"
The funeral service was held on
noon at the home of his
now 80 years old, who
lives at sthe old homestead across I
the river below jackson, by Rev.
Cooper, "Hardshell" Baptist
preacher, who lives about twenty
niles from jackson, and a life
ong friend of the Hargis family.
Under auspices of the Masonic
md Red Men lodges in Breathltt

Remedy For Choking.

Raising the left arm as high as you
can will relieve choking much more
rapidly than the act Of humping ones
back" said a physician, land it is
well that every one should know it,
for often a person gets choked while
eating where there is no one near to
thump him. Very frequently at meals
and when they are at play children
get choked while eating, and the GUS
tomary manner Of relieving them is to
slap them sharply on the back. The
effect of this is to set the obstruction
free. The same thing can be brought
about by raising the left hand of the
child as high as possible, and the re-
lief comes much more quickly. In
happenings of this kind there should
be no alarm, for If the child sees that
older persons or parents get excited
the effect is bad. The best thing is
to tell the child to raise its left arm,
and Immediately the difficulty passes
away" +
