Mr.. Bowser reached Locust Hall to
find 1t lighted but the expected thous-
ands had not gathered yet. In fact.
only the janitor was present, and
there was no look of anticipation on
his face. In fact. there was a look of
disappointment instead. and after a
couple of minutes he approached Mr..
Bowser and queried:
Say. now, can't you put this thing
amagig off for the night?"
What do you mean, sir?" was ask

time. 1 want to go to a scrapping
match tonight, but if you are going to
make speech I've got to stay here
Mr.. Bowser occupied five minutes in
telling his side of the story, and when
he got through the janitor felt that he
had been talked to in three different
languages. He went away and sat
down, but he said it was another in
stance of capital depressing labor
and his union should hear of il. Ten
minutes later a reporter arrived. He
looked around the hall and then at
Mr.. Bowser and said:
Going to be a fizzle, isn't it?'
"Um,''
who is this Bowser anyway
UNI"
Hes probably some old fake. and
I'll not stay to hear him bleat."
Five minutes passed and then a
lop-shouldered, disreputable looking
fellow lounged in and impudently
queried:
Say, old boss, is there to be a fan
dango here tonight?'
What do you mean, sir!" demanded
Mr.. Bowser.
"Oh, an old speech or something by
somebody or other?"
Yes. sir. there is to be a speech
here"
And where's the beer?"
There won't be any"
ooh. sawdust speech. Ell? Well,
I'm off. Let the old blowhard blow"
Then a second reporter entered and
took a look around. The janitor
winked at him, and he returned the
wink and sat down and looked solemn
for five minutes. Then he approached
Mr.. Bowser and respectfully asked:
Can you tell me the name of the
party that is or was to crate here this
evening""
His name is Bowser. I believe"
well, his wife seems to have kent
him at home and done a good thing.
I'll just say that the meeting was a

TWO ARE VICTIMS Of BULLETS
Old.time Enemies Meet On Way ID
Church and Open Fire-One Dies
and Other Is Dying.

Lexington, KY, Nov. 3.-The Ross
Angel feud, which ragged for several
years in Lee county, but which has
been smoldering for the past two or
three years, was reoDened at Heidel-
berg, that county, yesterday morning,
and last night Ephriam Angel died
and Harry Ross is at the point #
death, each being the victim of the
others bullet.
Meet on Way to Church.
The men met within sight of d small
church which both were on the way
to attend, and before the friends of
either were aware of trouble BULLETS
began to fly and neither one was ab!s
to reach the house of worship.
Strange to say, the friends of tho
participants who accompanied the two.
men did not attempt to continue the
fight, but busted themselves with car.
ing for the dead and dying. Reports
from Beattyville, the county seat, last
night, however, indicate that the two
factions are preparing for war.
Fear Bloody Feuds.
The officers were notified of the
killing, but so far have made no effort
to make any arrests, holding that it
will not be necessary.
Lee county has been free of feud
fights for several years, but it is fear
ed that the killing will again throw
the two factions into turmoil.

The Prayer crime was one of a Sc

committed in the same neighborhood,
under substantially the same circum-

by the same man, the victims all hav-

class.
The Prayer murder was the most
brutal of the series. The other vic

Was Slowly strangled.
The Prayer girl, only seventeen
years old. was strangled so slowly
that she had time in her struggles to
tear the bedding, On which she lay. to
ribbons, to rip the mattress open and
to utter a few stifled cries which other
dodgers heard but did not regard. The
murder was not discovered for seven
teen hours.
The murder is the ninth of the Sc.
ries. They began in May, 1900. The
most famous was that of Bayllis Dim
mock, at Camden town, in September,
1907. Robert Wood, an illustrator,
was accused of the crime, but he was
acquitted after one of the most SEN
