Fehringer Indicted.

Union City, Tenn. May IA re-
liable report reached here that the
grand jury of Fulton county. Ken
lucky, has indicted Frank 'Fehringer,
the states star witness In the night
rider cases. for completely In the muir
der OF the Walker family OF negroes
at Brownsville, small village near
Hickman, last summer. The indict-
ment. 1t is presumed, grew out of
Fehringer's confession here in couet
when he turned states evidence. The
Kentucky authorities have been Sc
verely criticised for doing nothing to
ferret out the perpetrator of the afro
cious crime, but rather sneered at
Governor Patterson's efforts. Gov
ernor Patterson will not likely honor
a requisition for Fehringer, who has
been the best witness ever placed OH
the stand in 2 criminal case in this
county. Fehringer was taken to
Nashville by detachment OF soldiers
and will be held there for safe keep
ing until the night rider trials inquiry
is held.

while the Hughes home, 613 Broad

moved from Paducah.

that will go to the hustlers.
But don't take It out in wishing.
Old Aesop, who was a pretty wise old
Greek has something to say about sit
ting down and trying to wish and
pray yourself into prosperity. His
fable on the subject runs in this
wise:
"As a wagner was driving his
vain through a miry lane. the wheels
stuck fast in the clay. and the horses
could get on no further. The man
dropped on his knees and began cry
Ing and praying to Hercules with all
his might to come and help him.
Lazy fellow said Hermies, get up
and stir yourself. Whip your horses
stoutly and put your shoulder to the
wheel. II you want my help then
you shall have it,"
And then the old moralizer draws
the lesson:
THE GODS HELP THEM THAT
HELP THEMSELVES"
All of which has an obvious and
direct bearing on your candidacy in
