LONG SLUMBERINC
FEUD.BREAKS OUT
Alto. neys Bobbitt And Culton FL
nally Appeal to Force'to Set
tie Old Scores.

The court Of Squire *. ID. Noaks, at
Crab Orchard, was greatly disturbed
last week by an alteration between
Fontaine Fox Bobbitt. known as the
Cicero Of the Mountains ,, and T. y
Culton, known in Knox county as the
Slippery Elm Of the Cumberland.
Shortly after the civil war "a dispute
arose between the families Of the BIsh-
ops and Brummetts on Negro Creek,
the dividing line between Lincoln and
Rockcastle counties, over a division
fence. Since war twas first declared
between these families, nearly every
Saturday in a Justices court, in either
Lincoln or Rockcastlc, they have had a
law suit, with Bobbitt and Culton as
their lawyers Al one term Cicero
represents the Bishops ,andl the "Slip-
perry Elm" the Brummetts: the next
time the Cicero" the. Brummetts and
the Slippery Elm" the Bishops. About
once a month these attorneys sue their
clients for past.fees. 1t was at one of
these trials whenj the l.greatest fight
that has ever taken place in old Crab
Orchard occurred. As: usual between
gifted attorneys, great and mighty
questions were discussed. AS neither
lawyer had any law books on hand. the
court had to take their word. When
Culton disputed Bobbitt's.word, he said:
How dare you dispute the true
word of statesman; one whose voice
has been heard in the halls of the Ken
lucky Legislature, and one whom fate
has decreed shall soon retire the Tall,
Knotty Buckeye of,the st. Asaph' from
Congress?"
What care Iifor, that?" said Culton.
81, too, am of royal blood | was once
county attorney of Knox.county; sat as
special judge in several noted cases and
am soon to be census enumerator for
this magisterial district"
SAID Bobbitt my ancestry fought
at Bannockburn.
Said Culton-" mine bled at London
derry"
Then said Bobbitt you will bleed
right here" and took him onei on the
nose.
Then at it they went. Greek had
met Greek. Ii was evident that York
should contend against Lancaster. Tho
there was no white or red rose on Ell
Their knight. yet Culton went off with
red nose and Bobbitt with a black eye.
Those present at court stood back and
watched an encounter in which as much
valor was shown as wnen Clay stood
before Randolph, or when Dickinson
went down before "0ld Hickory"
When they were finally separated, the
courtroom fairly reeked with brim-
stone.
Col. Bobbitt will soon open his cam
paign for Congressl.as an independent
candidate in the Sth district. Mr.. Gull
ton is a republican lleader, very popu-
lar with the masses. To whom his in
fluence will go in the coming contest is
not known. We predict that these
knights will bury the Ratchet and in
the future will be friends.
