ONE OF KENTUCKY
TRAGEDY CLASSICS
Leck Whit Bided His Time and
Killed Man Who Had Para
lyzed His Right Arm.

LEXINGTON. KY. Aug. 23.-The
killing by Leck Whit OF his nephew
and sonin-law, Buddy Whit and
James Harper, and the subsequent
shooting of Lack Whit by friends OF
the dead men at Salyersville. In the
mountains, bids fair 20 become a
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 farm home 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 TO
years old. had learned to use his pis-
toll 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 hve
bullets into his nephew. Ha3
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 a groan or moan had escaped
him. although II was found that seven
bullets had struck him in the breast
and were SO aimed that they made al
most straight line of holes across
the chest. Several other bullets
struck him, and II is believed that at
least 20 bullets were fred at him,
James Harper and Buddy Whit
were brought here to st. Joseph's hos
pital, where they died soon after
ward.
This was one of the most dramatic
ARRAYS that has ever occurred in the
mountain country. II recalls the case
of Uncle Curt" Jet, about 20 years
ago, the story Of which was told the
writer by Judge James Hargis while
the latter was on trial at Beattyville
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 en-
emy's territory. But one day, when
he was less careful than usual, he
rode along the Kentucky river near
Jackson. At the ford he neglected
to look about before his horse stepped
into the water. An enemy was con-
cealed behind a 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 con-
cealed marksman. The horse kept
going toward the opposite bank, and
the enemy continued to fire. Uncle
Curt" continued to shoot back, but
with no apparent effect. Finally, when
he reached half.submerged stump
near the jackson side, and had been
struck by six bullets, he slipped on
his horse behind the stump. There.
though weak from loss OF blood, he
waited for the enemy to show him
self, and when he did Curt shot him
dead.
"And do you know" Judge Hargis
added, after doing all this real good
kind of fighting, Uncle Curt was
finally killed by log rolling over
him. Wasn't that a hell of death
for a man like that?"

BIGGEST SALMON
PACK IS PROMISED
It Will Take $4,000, 900 To Pay OF
Columbia River Fishermen at
Season End.

ASTORIA, Ore, Aug. 23.--The sal.
mon fishing season In the Columbia
river has now progressed sufficiently
to warrant the prediction that II will
result in the largest pack In twenty
years. At the present time the pack
Is larger than that of last year, and
nearly double those figures. This pre-
dicticn Is based largely on the fact
tina. for several years the runs Of the
best quality Of fish have come later,
and from reliable authority IL IL
learned that there are more salmon
In Monterey Bay, Cal, than in years.
According to the best authority these
FISH make their appearance In the
Columbia river about three weeks la
ter.
Before the season opened the can
nerymen had orders for double last
years pack at advanced prices, with
bonus Cor filing the orders COM
plete. The price OF raw fish was rails
ed proportionately, with the result
that 1t will take fully s2,500,000 to
pay OF the fishermen at the close OF
the season. ..N
u0 COlu otOi0SO pawn VI eaC teh o.
fish Is reported to be behind last
year, but this feature OF the pack
last year was overdone and there was
q surplus left over. This class Of the
pack has limited demand, large
ly foreign. and has been overdone.
because of the great profits; but
through competition these have ben
cut down to a reasonable figure and
are now about the same as the can
ned article.
Formerly all the canned salmon
was shipped east by rail In carload
lots to general distributive points,
but few years ago these shipments
began to go by water, by way OF the
Tehuantepec railroad across Mexico.
II was found that the freight charges
were a third less to New York and
I .ondon, and IL could be shipped TO
New York and hack to Chicago
cheaper than direct by rail to the lat
ter point. The railroad companies
made no effort to meet these rates,
with the result that during the last
six months OF 1910 over 100000
pounds of canned salmon were ship
ped bv water.
Beginning with 1911, the Panama
water and rail route entered the con-
test for handling the business to New
York, and during the first six months
of the present year handled 100000
pounds to about 100000 by the Te-
route, and are expected to
get all of the through business when
the Panama canal Is open for traf-
fic. as the rates will then be reduced.
The rail transportation companies
say they are not in a position to of
fer rate that would be considered
competitive.

WHO TELLS VISITORS

Iron Toy Cars.
PBARIS. NO., Aug. 24.-Believing
after eight weeks had rolled around
that the end of his sister-in-law's visit
had come, but that she did not know
1t. Earnest Porter called the sheriff
to assist him in explaining to Miss
Nellie Bashaw, a st. Louis school
teacher, that she was due at the rail-
road station.
The official took the part OF the Wis
itor and In the ensuing melee, during
which the sheriff says Porter -four
ished a knife, the sheriff wrecked q
train of iron toy cars on Porter's
head, putting him to bed for repairs.
Bliss Bashaw and her sister sought
refuge and protection at the home
OF the sheriff.
Porter says that his "go-home''
hints proving useless, as a compro-
mise he secured the services of Sher-
In M. F. Nolen as an arbitrator. The
officer went reluctantly and was IN
formed that 1t did not suit Miss Ba-
shaw to bring her visit to such sud-
den end and that there were private
reasons why she should remain at
least two weeks longer. Mrs. Porter
also insisted that she remain. Then
the fight followed.
Miss Bashaw said later:
II did not know until Sunday that
Porter did not want me in his home. I
was accustomed to his moods, how
ever. and ignored them. When they
lived in st. Louis l visited his home
frequently, dropping in for ten min
utes at a time, and was ordered out.
SO 20 usee was used TO It. You may
not understand It. but did hate to

rights In the home, and the man who
doesn't want others in his home is

DEMOCRATIC ASSININITY

For the first time in sixteen years
a Democratic house is in a position to
attack the wool schedule. In 1894,
when that party passed the Wilson
German monstrosity and wellnigh
ruined the entire country as a result,
they were promptly retired from pow
er, but that will make no difference. 1t
is the Democratic fallacy that a lower
tariff on wool will insure cheaper
clothing to the consumer, and the
Democratic party vas never known to
swerve by a hairs breadth from a
settled conviction.
While the cost to the wool growing
states would be terrific, it may posi-.
bly, result in the country's Ultimate
welfare to have the party again reduce
the wool tariff and thereby place them
selves out OF power for another sixteen
years.

GREAT ABILITIES RECOGNIZED

As will be noticed from a perusal of
the committee assignments published
in another column of this issue of the
Silver State, Congressman Roberts, of
Nevada, has beer appointed a member
of the important committee on irriga-
ton.
Congressman Roberts is an authority
on this subject and will be able to
give the committee a great deal of
valuable information. So far as his
constituents are concerned, he could
not have been placed in a more I'm
portant position. With Senator
Nixon occupying a similar position in
the upper branch of the national con.
gress, it goes without saying that the
needs of Nevada in this respect will
be well looked after.
