PARALYZED BY FEUDlSTS, HE
TOOK DOUBLE TOLL.
Leck Whit, Daring Fighter, Though
Past Seventy Years Of Age, AIDA
Another to kentucky's Feud
Tragedies.

Louisville, Ky.-The killing by Leck
Whit Of his nephew and son-in-law,
Buddy Whit and James Harper, and
the subsequent shooting OF Leck Whit
by friends OF the dead men at Salyers-
VILE, In the mountains, bids fair to be-
come q classic In feud history.
Two or three years ago Leck Whit
was shot by one of the men and his
right arm paralyzed by the bullet
Leck Whit went to Salyersyille from
his farmhouse and saw his two enc
mics In front of the courthouse there
In the years since his right arm was
paralyzed Whit, who was about seven
ty years old. had learned to use his
pistol with his left hand He walked
quietly up to them and, drawing his
revolver with his left hand, shot Har-
per through the throat and fired Ave
bullets into his nephew.
Before the smoke had blown away
from the empty revolver Of Leck
, Whit pistols began to bark at him
| from every side The old man stood
still and straight in the middle Of the
| street until he fell dead with his
empty revolver still In his hand.
Not groan or q moan had escaped
him, although 1t was found that seven
| bullets had struck him in the breast
and were 30 aimed that they made al
most 4 straight line OF holes across
his chest Several other bullets struck
him, and 1t Is believed that at least
| twenty bullets were fred at him.
| This was one of the most dramatic
| ARRAYS that has ever occurred In the
mountain country, 1t recalls the case
| Of Uncle Curt" Jett, about twenty
| years ago, the storyof which was told
by Judge James Hargis while the lat.
| ter. was on trial at Beattyvilie for
completely in the killing of james b.
Marcum. ~
| Uncle Curt" had incurred the en-.
nifty of various residents In that sec.
ton, having killed several men, and
was therefore wary when in the enc
my's territory. But one day, when hs
was less careful than usual, he rode
| along the Kentucky river near Jack
son. At the ford he neglected to looh
about before his horse stepped into
the water An enemy was concealed
behind log, and as Uncle Curtis
horse entered bullet struck him In
the back
Uncle Curt" seriously hurt. man
aged to get his own revolver into play
but could not reach the concealed
marksman The horse kept goina
toward the opposite bank, the enemy
continued to fire. Uncle Curt" con
tinued to shoot back, but with no ap
parent effect. Finally, when h'
reached a half-submerged stump neat
the jackson side. and had been strucl
by six bullets, he slipped of bill
horse behind the stump, There, though
weak from loss of blood, he waited
for the enemy to show himself, anC
when he did Curt shot him dead.

NearMuk Of Japan.

Cows are not numerous in Japan.
but the Japanese are fond OF milk,
and to meet this demand in the face
of natural shortage they long ago
put their wits to work and evolved q
product that the average person can
not distinguish from the regular
dairy article.
The artificial milk ia derived from
the sofa bean. The beans are flrst
soaked, then boiled In water. Present
ly the liquid turns white; sugar and
phosphate OF potash In proper guam
titles are added and the boiling con-
tinued until a substance the thickness
