CIVIL WARFARE
NOW RAMPANT
In Morgan County-Four
Men Killed.
RAILROAD TRACK DESTROYED
And Sheriff and Deputies Fear
to Invade the War.
ring Community.
DEATH LURKING EVERYWHERE

Lexington, KY, Sept. AS the
result of the killing of four men
within five days of each other, re-
Gently on White Oak creek, Morgan
county, KY, letters received here
to-day indicate that condition ap-
preaching actual civil war exists in
that locality between certain promi-
nent families who are rivals in bus
mess and politics there. The prop
erty of both sides is being destroy
ed. and warnings have been issued
by each side to the other not to OPP
crate in that particular district
again. The authorities seem pow
erless to cope with the situation.
The four men killed have all met
death within the last month. They
were Leck White, killed in duel
with Buddy White in the court
house yard at Salyersville; Buddy
White and Jas. Harper, shot so
badly by Leck White that they died
in a Lexington hospital, and Jeffer-
son Brown, shot through the heart
by Sheriff Cottle, of West Liberty,
when Cottle attempted to arrest
Brown.
Sheriff Cottle was taken to the
West Liberty jail for safekeeping,
as Browns friends are said to have
been greatly incensed and planned
summary vengeance against the
Sheriff. Subsequent developments
show that when Jeff Brown was
killed by Sheriff Cottle, a notice was
tackled up on some timber where he
had been working, which read:
IF you want to live, don't work the
tram-road any more" All of the
trouble arose over disputed lines
between the farms of the Whites
and Browns. Brown was a one
arm man, and Sheriff Cottle shot
him through the heart. Sheriff Cot
tie and his deputies have been noti-
fed to steer clear of that section
since.
The tram-road built by mill hands
to remove timber from the Brown
farm had been destroyed, 1t is al
legged, by the slain mans relatives
and friends. 1t was rebuilt by mill
hands a few days ago and cut up
second time and thrown into the
creek. Threats were then posted
warning all not to rebuild the road
on pain of death.
Following the posting of these
notices, which were nailed up with
As Colts revolvers, an armed mob
paraded the creek valley and "shot
up" the highway; so many shots
being fired, says the report, that 1t
made almost a continuous roar.
The people of that section, the let
ters state, are in terror of their
lives, and as the Sheriff and his dep
uties are said to be afraid to VEN
ture into that end of the county,
further bloodshed and destruction
of property is feared.
Lexington citizens have been APP
pealed to for aid by residents of
that section in the letters received
here bringing news of the lawless
condition of affairs in that section,
and a revenue man arriving here
from Morgan county last night cor
roborates the terrorized state OF So
ciety in that part of Morgan county,
which is remote from railroad or
telephone or telegraph communica-
ton, and consequently news filters
through with difficulty.

FOR BETTER ROADS.

Edmore Herald: Any person who
has the occasion to ride over the yari-
Gus highways in this part OF the coun-
try cannot help but think that there lie
something radically wrong with our
road building system The average
township works their road taxes by
day labor, and it seems that in most
places the object is to get the taxes
worked rather than to keep in view
the building Of good roads. While
some grades are begun and fairly I'm
lshed, we venture to say that more
roads are spoiled than made in a good
and passable condition. There should
De law compelling township officers
to complete a piece OF road after they
have started, before they could touch
another piece OF work. Take for in
stance, southwest OF Edmore on the
main Devils Lake road we find that
last year certain pieces OF road were
plowed, probably with view to build
Ing a grade, and nothing further has
been done, and travellers have been
compelled to vacate the regular high
way and take to the prairies. one
would naturally suppose that after a
year these roads would be completed.
but instead nothing further is being
done to these places but other places
are being plowed up in the same man
mel this year. and people are further
driven to the prairies. This is entirely
wrong and some system should be
adopted whereby such practice should
cease.
