FIGHT is FATAL TO THREE.
Row at Kentucky Dance Stirs Up Feud
and Ends in Bloody Battle.

Williamstown, KY. Jan. IL. One
man was killed, two fatally wounded
and six other men were seriously in
jured as the result of a fight that
started at a dance Saturday night and
continued through yesterday morning,
which was terminated by Sheriff Car
ter and a posse arresting the alleged
ringleaders in the killing, just as a
mob was being formed to avenge the
death of Ethel Ransom, who was beat
en- to death after he had received sev
eral wounds.
The dance was held at the home of
Wesley Barns, and during the festivi-
ties Ethel Ransom and William
Thompson are said to have begun
shooting after an alteration. Thomas
Turner ~interfered and was shot and
beaten.
The men then came into town. and
while George Lantern, who vas
wounded, was in DR.. O'Hara's office,
Ethel Ransom assisted in dressing his
wounds. After leaving the Office the
Lantern crowd attacked the Ransoms.
Ethel Ransom was the first to fall.
Not satisfied, his enemies, as he cried
for mercy, beat his brains out with
blocks of cement.
The Lanterns, finding that their OPP
ponents were gaining in numbers, took
to flight. The sheriff and his posse
surrounded the Lanterns home and
they, on learning that they would be
protected, surrendered.
AS the sheriff departed by one road
for C~ovington with his prisoners a
mob was being formed. The second
fight, which was a battle, was not a
sequel of the dance row, but was the
outgrowth of a feud.
