Mae Hipshire, sixteen year old daugn-
ter Of Lee Hirshre, residing in Fay
cite near the Bourbon line, died Mon

Hospital. in Lexine ton, where medical
aid was summoned. An operation was
later performed and hope was enter
tanned that she would recover.

Bush Bishop, a farmer, was stabbed
seriously though not fatally injured
Wednesday morning about nine c'clnck
by Woodford Spears, member Of the
firm of E. F. Spears & kSons. The
cutting was the result of quarrel
over the settlement of an account
which Bishop is alleged to have owed
the firm.
The trouble took place in front of
the office of E. F. Spears & Sons, on
Third street, and although it is said
there were several eye witnesses to
the affair the stories are conflicting. .
1t is said that on the morning of
the trouble Spears called Bishop over
the telephone at his home in the
country and insisted on the payment
of the account, which was past due.
and threatened suit if a settlement
was not effected. Bishop. it is said.
promised to come in and settle the
account on that day.
About nine o'clock he put in his ap-
pearance at the office and asked one
| of the clerks to fill out check for
the amount of his account. At that
time it is stated he was using very
abusive language toward Spears. who
| was in an adjoining room. Hearing
4
! the remarks he went into the Off ice
and the two are said 20 have engaged
in heated words. when Bishop asked
him to step on the outside of the build
ing and settle the matter.
On the outside the men engaged in a
fstic encounter, Bishop securing an
advantage, when Spears drew knife
from his pucket, stabbing him. The
short blade of the knife penetrated
the side and the injured man was hur-
ried to the office of Drs. Fithian and
Daugherty, where an examination was
made of his wound. The extent of the
injury could not be determined and he
was rushed to hospital in Lexington
for treatment. He is said to be rest
ing we'll and out of danger.
Upon an affidavit made before Squire
| L.. j. Fretwell, Sheriff A. S. Thomp-
son secured warrant for Spears and
| placed him under arrest. He gave
bond for his appearance at his exam
lining trial, which was set for Nov.
| 21, and was released from custody.
