~ cupy time most acceptably, but
the dancing parties have by far the
most conspicuous place in the forecast
of the days. The tea to be given this

There was some excitement at the
Russell Springs Fair last Wednesday,
and at first it was thought that the
Sheriff was shooting at man who was
creating disturbance, but he only
shot to scare. The particulars, as we
gather them, are about as follows:
There had been some betting on a
horse race, and the man this item re-
fers to, lost and refused to pay. The
winner undertook to make him pay and
a general row ensued. The man who
lost broke loose from the crowd and
started in quick run for the thicket.
The Sheriff, not knowing the cause of
the trouble, took after the man and in
order to stop him, fired his pistol into
the ground. So the whole trouble was
a little excitement We make this item
because report reached here to the
effect that several shots were fired at
the fleeing man.

| want to write line expressing my
feelings on reading of the death of
Judge M. c. Saufey. He was one of
Kentucky's purest and ablest public
men, Brave as solder; scholarly and
eloquent as speaker. No man of his
day could use cleaner and purer En-

finest lawyers and graced the bench in
the State for long time He disliked
any thing which savored of dishonesty.
He was the soul of honor. l had known
him for more than 40 years and had al

DEATH FOLLOWS In A FEW HOURS.

A serious difficulty occurred at the
Russell Springs late last Thursday af-
ternoon, resulting in the death of Ed
Miller, who was MORALLY wounded by
j. c. Popplewell.
The particulars as we gather them,
from parties who were at The Spring,
about as follows:
Mr.. Popplewell is a merchant, very
quiet gentleman, a partner of Mr.. ]. E.
Snow, the two conducting a general
Store. Late in the afternoon Miller
visited the store in an intoxicated con-
dition and raised disturbance Mr..
Popplewell left the store room and
went outside, taking seat upon box
or barrel. Miller came out, pistol in
hand, threatening to shoot PopplewelI,
who did not have revolver. Several
parties came up while Miller was max
ing his threats, and to one of the by
ISLANDERS he handed his pistol He then
walked up to Popplewell, striking him
severe blow in the face. AS soon as
the lick was struck, PopplewelT drew
his knife and commenced cutting, and
when the trouble was over it was
known that Miller could not live but a
few hours. He died early next morn
ing.
Those who witnessed the trouble say
that Mr.. Popplewell was perfectly
justifiable.
