CURT JETT OPENED FIRE on H1A1,

nearly all the time. he just couldn't
keep still.
But three months passed and there
came no sign from the Hargises. Law
yer Marcum got careless.
One day he stood talking with an
other man in the courthouse doorway.
Hargis looked across the street from
his store and saw him. With the judge
was Sheriff Callahan.
"Go git a gun, Ed" said the judge.
There's goin' to be somethin' dom. l
reckon"
At that instant somebody inside the
courthouse f"cd. and Lawyer Marcum
fell dead. Sheriff Callahan ran across
the street, closed and locked all the
courthouse doors and admitted not a
soul all that day. The same night the
assassin was smuggled out. But three
men had seen him. He was Curt Jett,
who had so oblgingly slain DR.. Cox
as he lay moaning on the ground.
The killing of Marcum made 4 still
even in Jackson, and Jim Cockrill
on the opposite side of the fence
from the Hargiscs. was heard to say
he reckoncd he'd have to take steps.
1t wasn't more than few days later
that Curt lett walked into the hotc'
dining room where Cocllril was sitting
and opened fire on him. Cockrill jump
ed up, and Jett fed. Fighting in the
open was new game to him. Two
| days later came a clear, sunny day.
Cockrill, walking down Main street,
crossed the street in front of the court
house. AS he did so Curt Jett leaned
out Of an upper window and shot him
down with q Winchester rifle. So well
known were the circumstances and Sc
general the expectation Of trouble thai
the moment Jett showed himself ut the
window several voices called to Cock
rill to look out. But they were toe
late. Cockrill fell dying.
Jett leaned out Of the window and
pumped few more bullets into the
body in the street. e. .n-,n

ed for 9 few seconds before he died.
Every soul in Jackson knew all .aboEi
what happened. It was as public as e
dog fight. Yet not a move was made
to arrest Curt Jett until after, troop
had arrived. Indeed. young lawyer
who told visiting newspaper man
what he had seen begged the reporter
to give him time to get out Of town
before he printed a,story about It. He
got out of town, too, and stayed. out r.
There wasn't any trouble In Jackson
so long as the troops stayed. Hargis
had given the word, and his word was
law. Jett was convicted Of the muir
der OF. Marcum and is serving a life
sentence. Hargis never. was punished
for any one Of the many murders Of
which be was guilty.

The; vfeud that the Hargis clan has
wagedl against all its opponents in
Breathitt county began not long after
the close Of the civil war-so far back
that the real cause Of its origin is
wrapped in .obscurity. 1t is only re-
membered that one Of the Hargises
was the first victim. He was shot as
he stood one night in his sugar camp,
with his arm over the shoulder OF his
newly married wife. Vengeance was
sworn by tue Har9lses. and Breathitt
county since that time has been indeed
a dark and bloody ground. Scarcely
q year has passed without one or more
murders growing from that single rite
shot in the dark nearly half century
ago.
Just how much blood was spilled be-
fore Judge Hargis aud his outfit had
closed their grip upon the town OF
Jackson and the county Of Breathitt
will never be known exactly, but the
story is fearful one. And perhaps it
was only the peculiarly cold blooded
and open manner OF the assassination
of DR.. B. u. Cox that accounts for the
publicity that followed it.
Dr.. Cox was not feudist. He mere
" dared to disobey al order from Har-
gis to leave the county. He had no In
innate relations with either the Har-
gises or the ant-Hargises. He was a
practicing physician and in some way
had been made the legal guardian OF
one Of the Cockrill boys, whose family
bid been for years opposed to Hargis.
The acceptance of such q job was a
tactical error. for it attracted the atten-
tion of Judge Hargis. -

COON CHANGING COLOR

Frankfort. KY. Nov. 2S-Frankfort
has remarkable scientific phenome-
non which is attracting much atten-
ton from the physicians of this sec
ton Of the state. Ben Sayres, a ne
gro, has turned white as a result of
coming in contact with poisoned ivy.
The scientific explanation of the
change is that the pigment of the
body has been destroyed by the pois-
on. or by the medicine which was used
to counteract il. Sayres is a Well
known negro shoemaker IF Frankfort
He never was black, but was dark
skinned and Enthusiastically negro.
Several weeks ago he was attacked by
poison ivy and there was a breaking
out all over his body. except on his
shoulders. He treated the 'eruptions
with some sort of medicine and recov-
cred from the effects of the poison.
Then he was much frightened to notice
white spots appearing on mis- body. He
did not know what il meant and
thought he was going to die, although
he was suffering no pain and was per-
fectly well. The skin did not peel off,
but the color Of it slowly began to
change. the white spots spreading
gradually whsrever the medicine had
been.
AT the end of a few weeks Sayres
had turned white all over except on
the shoulders. where the medicine had
not been put. Now Sayres is as white
as any man in Frankfort and would
pass for white man any place. He
does not care especially about his con-
dition. but is willing to tell anybody
how the process came about

THE LATEST CRADLES

Have you seen the newest sash gir- dle? It is made of narrow strips of ribbon or velvet and goes around the waist from the center of the front, in the back, returns and ties a little to one side in knot. whence the ends hang to the knees.
 It is graceful style, but 1t will never suit woman who show any signs of be- coming stout, for the lines in the front only accentuate the size of the hips.
 The girdles of this design are only appropriate to house gowns or to even ing dresses, but there Is no reason why a girdle of the same kind in kid or leather should not be suitable for any costume
 In any case they fit in with our mod crn life in a way that the Fatima scarf could never do, and during the present craze for drapery must, without duobt have their day of popularity.

 FASHION NOTES
Polka Dots Popular: Coats of Solid Color With
 Plaid Skirts.

Polka dots are seen more or less in the voiles and batlstes and the daintiest appear to be of cerise ground with white dot Trimmed with taffeta cording of the same, with cerise lace and some definite touches of white or cream these dotted dresses are dreams. The voiles are softer and far more beautiful than ever this year. and in peacock, cerise and buff are the most attractive goods one can imagine. Those in Empire green are attractive. too, but there is less life to that color in volle than in other materials.
 A style that was more or less fol- lowed all winter was that of wearing the solid jacket In black with the wide black and white plaid skirt made walking length with the plaids crosswise. The style still prevails. and some of the very best examples of trotteur costumes have plaid skirts of almost any color and solid jac- ket. Black and white Is still im- mensely, popular, but if one wishes to be fin grand chic" one must get the white and chaudron or copper plaid skirt, with the cutaway Empire jacket of solid chaudron.
 Chaudron Is one of the most sought for tones in millinery. and though 1t arrived after cerise and Empire green has already outdone both, for almost any one can adopt this beautiful shade of brown with good results, where the cherry and green would have to be questioned Except for very young women, cerise is trying shade, and as for Empire green, green Is the most difficult shade for any one, save woman with an absolutely match less complexion. The chaudron goes we'll with either cerise or green. and some lovely hats are touched success fully with the three hues.

Kitchen Suggestions to Save Many Steps and Much
 Labor.

One of the most useful articles to have in any kitchen Is small stand, IS or 20 inches square, made in a sub. stantial manner with casters. Have the stand, after the casters are ad- justed of the exact height of the top of tho kitchen range. Cover the top with zlnc neatly tackled on On the inside of the legs screw small hooks. This is great labor and step saver, as heavy kettles can be slid from the range on the zinc-coyered surface and rolled to any desired place. The stand can be placed beside the range, and with small sauce pans, gravy strainers, spoons, etc. hung on tho hooks, many steps can be saved the cook A small drawer would be an additional help as knives, forks and small spoons could be placed in 1t. The zinc-covered top. which is easily kept clean. permits the placing of hot dishes directly from the range upon 1t.
