Killed at The Rate Of One a Week.

Hargis men are being killed at
the rate of4one weekin Breath
lit county according to q wei
known citizen of Breathitt who
was in Frankfort a few days
ago, He said that, on Quicksand
Creek in Bre athitt, there have
been four men killed during the
last few weeks, and. all. of them
we're known as Hargis men. He
says the killing Of John Abper
was simply an outeropping of
the old feud and that the only
reason for killing Abner was be-
cause he was friendly to 'Ed''
Callahan and the late James
Hargis. AS to the killing of
Matt Crawford, who was also
knownias a Hargis man, it was
stated that the feud had nothing
to do. with this affair, it growing
out of the whisky cases in
Breathitt. The citizen Of Breath
it, who has. kept out of the
troubles in his home county.
taking neither side. of the ques-
ton, said that it is certainly
more than coincidence that all
the men killedin Breathitt county
during the last year have been
men, who were friends
ofthe former Judge when he
was alive and who are now
friendly to Callahan. j. He stated,
too, that the killing of men in
Breathitt has not stopped, and
that there are justPas many kill
ings now as there ever were,
even when James, Hargis was
alive. Many of the Killings in
Breathitt, the visitor stated, are
not reported in the daily papers,
and for that reason not as much
is heard of conditions in. Breath
lit as was heard when the fight
was being made on Hargis and
his followers. Most Of the men
slain, hessays, are notsof -promi-
nance, and for that reason not
much attention is paid to the
killing outside 3iof lBreathitt
county. He told some of the in
side, story of some of the killings
and makes it appear that Breath
lit is worse now than it ever
was before, with life less safe
there. Frankfort News. ,ga

No man who ever heard Sam

IiiileS sGpuiu ldli 70 Iall unuer the
spell of his great personality.
Rev. Walt Holcomb tells of the
last act Of Sam Jones' life, It
shows In the most tender mane
ner the great depth of tie great
preachers love for humanity
Mr. Jones and Mr. Holconnb
had Just closed meeting in
Oklahoma City and were on their
way back to Georgia. 1t was
Just after supper when they
boarded the train and shortly af-
ter they had started on their
journey, Mr. Jones, lin passing
through one of the day coaches,
discovered a poor, man and his
wife huddled up in a seat. The
picture of death was on the mans
face. He in am advanced
stage of consumption and was
going home to die He had spent
all the money,he had in the west
and took his last dollar to pay
his railroad fare back home. i
my good FRIEND" said Mr..
Jones, you look tired. | have a
berth back in the other coach
and you come with me and occu-
ply it. You will feel better after
a good Sleep yasgo eonl
The man gladly accepted the
offer and Mr.. Jones took him
back and put him and his wife
in the berth. In a delicate way
he extracted the knowledge from
the unfortunate couple that they
had no money and their fare was
only paid to Memphis. although
their homemas quite a distance
beyond that city.
: I'll fix that for you," said
Mr.. Jones. 81 have a little ex-
ira money and I'll be glad to. let
you have what you need. :" eesf'n
With hearts full of gratitude
the consumptive and his wife
went to sleep while the evange-
list purchased an additional berth
for himself.
A bad supper, however, would
not let him rest, and about six
O'Clock the. next morning he
arose and asked the porter of
the Pullman to procure. him a
cup Of warm water. But before
the water arrived he fell over on
Mr.. HolmanIs berth, - stricken
with an attack of acute indiges-
ton. He died almost instantly
without speaking a word, pass
ing away, in il his sonrin7law''s
arms. The pooraooonsumptive
and his wife wept p,itifulIy over
the death of their benefactor. sd
don't know what will become of
u.s. said the woman, but Mr..
Holman said to her.. sNever
mind, my good woman; | heard
his conversation with, your hns-
band last night fand'I am going
to do just what / know Mr.. Jones
would tell me to do if he could
speak," 50 he took a roll Of mon
ey from the dead evangelist's
pocket and generously supplied
enough to get her Husband to
their home. z9'sa ~. g 'os' 2

From now on Genes fame will

didate of no mean calibre is after

sprung by this pupil of Baron
Munchauser, he ofmythical fame
and doubtful veracity, and he
makes a noise like a barrel full
of rubber balls when he says:
"You know the town board
has built a tishway in the sluice-
way fgreat rhyme, that IN the
Otter Rapids dam, permitting
the game fish which abound in

to come up in the upper chain.

hshway. Well. you know how a.

ments are only 21s feet wide.

catch him in the gills with the

can be done, you bet, and the
resort owners in the Eagle'chain
