HAD BIG FIGHT
They Wanted to Rescue
a Comrade.
TWO MEN WERE BADLY HURT
One Man Implicated Got
Awsy-SeriOuS Trouble
At FOrdSViIIe.

While planning raid on the
Fordsville Jail to rescue Walter
Johnson, friend who had Just been
locked up, several young men, said
to have been more or less under the
influence of drink, fell out among
themselves Friday afternoon, and a
shooting affray resulted. Clifton
Cooper and Estill Spencer, two of the
conspirators, are in serious condi-
lions and may not recover, though
they are reported to be resting well.
j. w. Burden, the town marshal, who
started the affair by arresting John
son, got in pursuit of the man who
was involved in the shooting, and
made his escape.
Clifton Cooper, aged twenty-one,
was shot in the neck and Estill Spen-
Ger, aged twenty-five, was shot in the
leg and arm and stabbed in the back.
Paul Cooper, a brother of Clifton.
participated in the fight, but Cooper
escaped without injuries and avoided
arrest.
1t is alleged that Paul Cooper shot
Estill Spencer and Spencer shot Cliff
ton and then Clifton stabbed Spen-
Ger in the back. The town was
thrown into great excitement by the
shooting affray.
The shooting occurred Friday after
neon at the side of Wilson G. Cos
warehouse. The boys had been
drinking all the morning and had
been friends heretofore. The mar
shall claims that the boys had been
rowdy and that he arrested Johnson
and this caused much anger among
the others. They were said to have
gone to the warehouse to plot TO re-
turn and take the town." This
resulted in a disagreement coming up
between the Cooper boys and Spencer.
The wounded boys were removed
to the May Hotel, where physicians
were summoned. DR.. c. DeWeese at
tended Clifton Cooper The bail
was taken out from under his right
collar bone, having gone in at the
left side of his neck.
Drs. Matthews, Barnhill and Rogers
attended Spencer. The balls were
taken from his leg and arm. His
arm was broken by the ball.
The Cooper boys are sons of Chas.
Cooper and are well known and
the family is highly respected. Spen-
Ger is a son of Bud Spencer and al
so belongs to a well known family.

Dec. 27.--The air is filled with epi-

from the tobacco growers who signed
up with the Green River Tobacco
Growers Association, since they have
begun to deliver their tobacco at
Narrows on account of the way their
tobacco is being graded. Now boys

association was a snare to catch Equi-

BEN JOHNSON A
PROH|B|TION|ST
Always on The Side OF
Temperance.
HAS BEEN MISREPRESENTED
Judge Thurman'S Fine De-
Tense of DemOcracy'S
Able Champion.

Bardstown, KY, Dec. 25.-Judge l.
T. Thurman, of Springfield, KY,
made a speech here recently in favor
of local option. He spoke to a
crowded house. He said, in his
speech, that he was just out of a
heated election; that he was tired and
worn out; that he was seeking a much
needed rest, and would not have come
to Bardstown at this time except TO
correct some misrepresentation which
were being made relative to his po-
sition upon the local option question.
In the course of his remarks he
also said:
But why should l bother about
being misrepresented? Is that not the
way in Kentucky now especially when
man holds or is a prospective can
didate for office? Is not your own
most distinguished citizens position
on this very question almost daily
nusrepresented, and purely for politi-
Ndl pun DOoNos ASAh NV bllC u NA0
Hart county papers, a bit ago, say
that Ben johnson owned and operated
one of the largest distillery plants
in Nelson county, when l and all Of
you know that he never, at any time,
hau any interest, directly or indi-
rectly, in the manufacture or sale Of
whiskey. You and / know, and every
man willing to know the truth
knows, that the records of your Coun-
ty Clerks office, kept within hun
bred feet of where l now stand, bear
mute testimony to the fact that the
first vote he ever cast in his life was
for local option in Bardstown. He
has voted that way for nearly a quar-
ter of a century. At the last cleo
ton held in the county upon the
question, which was three years ago,
he then voted for local option; and
know, and everybody knows, that he
will again vote for local option next
Saturday. He is a plain man of few
words, and yet man who is not
afraid to express his convictions. In
my recent canvass for reelection as
Circuit Judge of the Eleventh Judic-
ial district, when | was being fought
by the whiskey interests of that dis
trict as perhaps no man was ever
fought before, Ben Johnson was the
only man holding public office in
Kentucky outside of my district who
came to my assistance. In a speech
made in the very camp of the enemy,
with distilleries standing all about
him, he boldly and plainly stated
that upon the question of local OPP
ton he stood exactly where he had
always stood; that he had always
voted for it and always intended to
do so. He has never trimmed; he
has never lodged. Though he beats
no drum, blows no horn and never
marches with a brass band, you need
never doubt his position upon any
public question. More than that, he
is a dry man of the right kind
he practices what he breaches. He is
one of the few men of my acquaint-
ance of whom it can be truthfully
said that neither spirituous, vinous
nor matt liquors ever passed his
lips-a glorious example to the youth
of this country. But came to talk
to you of other matters. You peo-
pie of Nelson county know these
things better than l do"

is reasonably close for many persons
in eastern Oregon. Perhaps 10 or 10
miles from a post-office. Mail routes
are not known in this part of the
State. Your only dotcor probably 20
miles away. 1t costs to have the doc
tor come to see you out here. Your
nearest neighbor may live 10 miles
away. A schoolhouse miles away
and a church-oh, we'll, no telling
where. If a man is no more isolated
than this out here in some of this
western country, he considers himself
we'll in touch with the world.
Mr.. Kentucky farmer, you may have
a few rocks, briars and bushes to con-
tend with on some of those old hills,
but want to tell you that you
haven't by far tho worst place in this
country to live In.
When you see some of this western
lite and then look at yourself with
your numerous favorable surroundings
your diversified farming, your macad-
amized roads, your rural routes, your
churches near you, the good schools
right at your door where you can
educate your children, and your To-
cal papers which come to you every
week, all you have to do is Just
make a few comparisons and you will
see why you should be happy. You
can hear a lot of talk about free gov
eminent land out West, but the best
of that has all been taken up, and
some of it l would not live on long
enough to homestead a claim if they
would give me a whole county. Why
there is lot of it that would hardly
give a iaG8 rabbit subsistence on l6O
acres-tEe limit of a homestead claim.
Yet people are coming to this cour-
try all the time from all parts OF the
U.lited States. Some say because
they like the country, and a great
many stay because they have not
sufficient means to enable them to
return to their native homes. Quite
often when l have been on an East
ern fast freight run, there would
be an migrant acr in the train, some
farmer with his work stock, his farm
ing implements and his household
goods in a car, returning to the East.
Whenever the opportunity affords l
would talk with them. l find they
all have about the same story-going
back to their native home in one OF
the Central States, dissatisfied, have
less than when they came West. Don't
be too anxious to give up the old
homestead. to seek a location in a
new country where you can make a
living without working" You might
see the day you will regret 1t and
that day might not be long present
ing Itself. | have not tried to show
Just one side of the story, but as l
said before, this country has some
very desirable features, especially in
certain places, but old Kentucky is
a good place to live.

seemed to come, he bid his face

His mother was waiting for
him when he drove into the yard.
She came out with a lantern.
Are you all right son9 she
asked, anxiously. It's nearly
eleven O'Clock.
Um.hm! All right! mumbled
David. He could hardly speak.
His mother said nothing more,
but helped him to unharness the
horses and put them into their
stalls. Together they carried
David S purchases into the house.
The boy stared At the lamp,
blinking. His red hair was
tousled under his cap, and his
frackles stood out brown on his
pale, drawn face. Mrs. Watson
offer ed him food, but he shook
his head, and huddled into a
chair near the table.
The doctor was here to-day,
said Mrs. Watson, and he said
your father was much better. He
said, she added, wistfully, as she
looked at the limp little form be-
fore her, that if he could only
quit worrying about you boys
he'd soon get well. She sighed.
David fumbled in his coat pocket.
Here's a letter from Uncle
Abner, he said DULY, and handed
her the envelope.
Mrs. Watson tore it open with
nervous haste. She read the
letter through, and laid it down
with a cry of JOY.
0 David, she cried, he says
he thinks he's been Kind of hard
on US, and he's going to help US.
He says he'll bring a man over
here tomorrow to work for us
the rest of the season, and he'll
pay him. And he says he wants
you to come and visit his boys
for a month or tWo-and he wants
you to go to school with them in
Denton in the fall. o David!
David! Aren't you gladP
But Dayid's head had fallen
forward upon the table. He was
already stupid with sleep. Mrs.
Watson took himin her arms and
carried him over to the wide old
sofa across the room. She pressed
the thin, sharp little shoulders
against her breast, with tears
running down her face. As she
laid him down, he put up his
hand and touched her wet cheek
softly.
I'll be glad in the morning,
mother, he said, I'm too tired
tonight. :
And he fell instantly into the
dreamless slumber of fexhaustion.
Mrs. Watson brought a blanket
and covered him tenderly. !
