DTeathitt'S Election Murder.

Jackson, KY, Nov. 9.-County
Jailer Wesley Turner was shot and
instantly killed last night by Jake
Noble, better known as bad Jake"
Turner had just returned from Ca
noe Fork, his home precinct, where
he had been working in the election
and was walking up the street in
company with Pierce Crawford. Jr.,
and Marion Hall, when they met
Noble. Noble stopped and asked TO
look at Crawford's pistol, Crawford
yielding, handed the pistol to No
BILE, who began firing instantly at
Jailer Turner, who stood only a
few feet away. Three shots took
effect, and Turner died instantly.
Noble fled down the street and
was fired at several times by Hall,
who also had a pistol. A posse OF
about one hundred men at once left
in pursuit of Noble, but he has not
yet been located. A second posse
left this morning in search OF the
slayer. Five hundred dollars reward
has been offered for his arrest and
It is expected that the Governor will
increase this amount.
The trouble between the men
originated while Noble was confin-
ed in Jail under Turner, who had
only served as Jailer one year, and
was one of the most popular Off
cials in the county.
All the city is aroused over the
affray and lynchlng is almost sure
II an arerst is made, although much
trouble is expected as Noble is
Breathitt county's most desperate
character and has heretofore killed
several men, The officers expect a
strong resistance in making an
arrest when he is located.
As usual on the night OF the elec-
tions the town rang with pistol
shots for several hours, beginning
at dark and lasting until shortly
before the killing. The officers
were powerless.
