fair grounds Saturday night which
brought to close the colored fair
which began Wednesday "Shorty" Nc
Coy, colored porter. employed in the
saloon of Albert Lyons, shot and
probably fatally wounded Frazier
White, also colored.
The cause of the trouble leading up
to the tragedy is difficult to obtain as
stories are conflicting and although the
ampnitheatre was crowded with
negroes there seems to be no eye wit
ness to the affair, and those who were
nearest Mccoy at the time of his ar
rest, discliam any knoledRe of the diff
Guilty leading up to the shooting.
Both Mccoy and White bear the
reputation of being 'bad men, the
latter participating in a fight at the
fair last year, during which a shooting
was narrowly averted.
1t is said shortly before the tragedy,
Mccoy and White met on the prone
made and engaged in CONVEX satiun,
which was followed by each using vile
language, when Mccoy is said to have
drawn his revolver and fired at White,
the latter falling upon the floor of the
stand. apparently dead.
Marshall G. N. Mckinney, who with
VIM. Tobin, was policing the grour DIS
was beneath the stand, and attracted
by the report of the ievclv,r made his
way hastily to the scene. Mccoy
made no effort to ESCAPE and vas
standing a few feet a. ay f:Gm his
victim.
The shooting caused pan amcng
the negroes and there was a wild
scramble to get out of danger. While
the excitement was at it's height
Marshal Mckinney was making an
effort to ascertain who fired the shot.
Seeing Mccoy standing close to the
form of White, he approached him to
ascertain if he knew the person who
did the shooting. The negro was sus-
pecting the intention of the officer was
to place him under arrest, informed
him he was the person who shot White.
Marsha: Mckinney placed him under
arrest and found he still had the revolt

meath his coat. The negro was turned
over to Marshal ToDin who landed him
in Jail.

inches below the collar bone on the
right side passing through the body
and striking the spinal column, which
caused paralysis. He was picked up
unconscious and taken to his home on
Eighth street, where an examination
was made by DR.. Sebree. a colored
physician. All efforts to locate the
bullet were without result and yester-
day afternoon he was taken to the
Good Samaritan hospital in Lexingt ton,
where an X-ray examination will be
made.

Bourbon County Crop Conditions

Crop conditions in Bourbon continue
to improve with the spreading of to
bacco and the maturing of late corn.
Garden truck is rolling into town in
larger quantities and at prices more
reasonable than for many months.
Milk and butter supplies have increas-
ed as result of cows grazing upon
green grass. and with cooler weather
and the moulting season of fowls prac-
tically over the supply of eggs have
also increased.
Confidence prevails throughout the
county as result of improved con-
ditions and with an indicated yield of
tobacco much larger than prevailed
one month ago the revenue that will
flow into the hands of the farmers and
later find their way into the channels
of retail trade has had the effect of
making things lively in all depart
ments of busy city.
The unusual activity prevailing in
the real estate trade has made trans
actions numerous in the sale of farms
both publicly and privately and from
now until the beginning of the crop
season Of 1912 many exchanges of
property fare expected. Good farms
are In active demand, as reported by
tie local real estate deal
ers, and the demand for homes in the
city has about consumed every house

Blunder Now a Brilliant Maneu-

The controversy which followed the
naval battle of Santiago and resulted
in court of inquiry to consider
charges that practically amounted to
an accusation of cowardice against
Admiral, then Commodore Winfield S.
Schley, has been reopened in a most
surprising way by the publication of a
history of the Spanish-American War
from the pen of Admiral F. E. Chad
wick, commander of the flagship New
York, and Admiral William T. Samp-
sons chief of staff at the time of the
battle, says a dispatch from New
York.
There was much criticism on the
part of Simpsons supporters of the
course of Admiral Schley for turning
his flagship. the Brooklyn. at a criti-
cal point of the battle. 1t was claim
ed that Schley started to run away
from the fight.
Much was made of this point in the
controversy that waged between the
factions of the navy.
Now comes Admiral Chadwick and
shows by his account of the battle that
Schley's course in turning the Brook
Ign. instead of being a discreidtable
act. as in fact a brilliant naval
maneuver, for which Schley and Capt.
Cook should have been given great
praise.
Admiral Schley was so bitterly op-
posed that had it not been for Admire
Dewey's prompt AMI decisive defense
of his action he would have been dis
graced.
