Last Friday night while a party of

We are informed that Brakeman was
very much under the influence of liquor,
and we are further told that bad feeling
had existed between him and Suuires
for some time.
His presence at the party was OBJ
jectionable, and it is conjectured that
MIR. 'Squires so told him. A fight en-.
sued, Brakeman drawing his knife, cut
ting MIR. Squires in a fearful manner.
One of the thursts was in the neck and
others were in the breast. A doctor

BLACK FOX PELT
TO ENRICH TRADER
Lee Handy, Hart County Merchant,
Can Get thousand for 81 90
Investment.
Special Dispatch to The Herald.

Special Dispatch to The Herald.
Edmonton, KY, Jan 21.-'Lee Handy,
merchant at Defries. Hart county,
who purchased the pelt of the black fox
caught by John Lobb, boy near Sui
phur Well, made the trade of his life
in buying the pelt. He paid the boy
ST. 60 for the hide, and the boy was well
pleased. Handy then wrote to Louis
vile fur dealers and was surprised to
get an offer of 5000 for the pelt. He
decided they were kidding" him, but
was greater surprised few days later
to get an offer for $500. He then took
up the matter with New York dealers,
and learned that they were quoted at
from $500 to 81, 800. AS the one caught
was extra fine, it is only reasonable to
suppose that he will receive the top
price for it, and it now looks as if Han
dy will make about 81, 498. 40 on his in
vestment of $1.60.
This is the only black fox ever cap
tured in this State, so far as is known,
and with one exception the only one
ever seen. An old negro living near
Sulphur Well named Anderson Murray,
claimed that he chased one two days
and nights about thirty years ago, and
as the one caught was so old it had no
teeth, and in the same section. tits now
supposed to have been the same, though
at the time the old darkey claimed to
have chased black fox no one believed
him. This will renew the trapping in
dustry in this section
The amount reported offered for this
pelt sounds little fishy, but there is
no doubt but the black fox is very
scare, and that their pelts sell very
high. Five years ago black fox made
his home, so says Gov. j. r Hindman,
in the Gradyville country. He was of
ten chased, but he finally disappeared
from the neighborhood.
