Are Will, Powers

and Taylor. There was no chance
for either to get fair trial In their
own state, andi brings tinge of
sadness to talk to one exiled as Gov
Taylor is. That he would like to re-
turn to his native state there Is lit
tie doubt. Though he has been sue
cessful here in his legal practice. he
would have preferred to remain in
Kentucky and administer the affairs
of the Office to which he was elected.
And when the state government Is
thoroughly regained from the gang
for several years in control It is not
unlikely that he will take his fam
lily and return there.

Macarthur, as he was crossing the
street diagonally in front of Willis
store. A shotgun with buckshot was
used, but Macarthur ducked when
Willis leveled on him the first time,
and the second shot was rendered wild
by some fixture in the store. Nc
Arthur ran to the store of a friend,
and seized rifle, and was about to
return to the scene Of the shooting,
when he was laid hold Of by friends,
who dragged him away. -Four of the
Willis, with several of their friends,
were already congregated in the Will
lis store. Macarthur telegraphed to
Belt for Deputy Sheriff Jones, and
sent runners into the country to sum-
mon his kinsmen and friends. Willis
telegraphed his kinsmen at Vance,
and they arrived in a body armed
with Winchesters and shotguns. Long
expostulation and calm reasoning with
the two factions seemed about to be
without avail, when Chancellor Bell
ordered Macarthur. to attend his Off
clal duties, and Willis, waving pre-
liminary examination, was put under
a $4,000 bond for his appearance be-
fore the grand jury in September.
Both sides then laid Gown their arms
and Macarthur left for Belt by the
