CHAPTER XIII.

The Judge Squares Accounts.
A ripple of comment. and Colonel
Fentress elbowed his way through the
crowd. At sight of his enemy the
judges face went from white to red,
while his eyes blazed; but for the mo-
ment the force of his emotions left
him speeches.. Here and there. as
he advanced, Fentress recognized a
friend and bowed coolly to the right
and left.
what does this ridiculous mock
cry mean?" he demanded harshly. Mr..
Sheriff, as member of the bar, | pro-
test! Why don't you clear the build
ing?" He did not wait for Belts TO an
ever him, but continued. 'Where is
this man Hues?"
"Yonder, Colonel, by the captain, y
said Belts.
81 have a warrant for his arrest.
You will take him into custody"
"Wait!" cried the judge. 81 repre-
sent Mr.. Hues. l desire to see that
warrant"
But Fentress ignored him. He ad-
dressed the crowded benches.
Gentlemen, it. is a serious matter
forcibly to seize man without author
ity from the courts and expose him. to
the danger of mob violence-Mr. Hues
will learn this before we have done
with him."

ton is wrecked, your signals and pass
words are known, your secrets have
become public property can even
produce list of your members; there
are none of you who do not stand in
imminent peril-yet understan
have no wish to strike at those who
have been misled or coerced into join
| ing Murrell's band!" lie judges sod
den old face glowed now with the
magnanim.. y of has sentiments. But
I have no feeling of mercy for your
leaders, none for Murrell himself. Put
down your guns!-you can only kill
us after We have killed Murrell-but
you can't kill the law! II the arch
conspirator dies in this room and
hour, on whose head will the punish
ment fall?" He swung round his pom
derous arm in sweeping gesture and
shook a fat but expressive fore-finger
in the faces of those nearest him. "On
yours-and yours-and yours!"
Across the space that separated
them the Judge grinned his triumph
at his enemy. He had known Whenl
Fentress entered the room that a
word or sign from him would pre-
cipitate riot, but he knew now that
neither this word nor this sign would
be given. Then quite suddenly ne
strobe down the aisle, and foot by
foot Fentress yielded ground before
his advance. A murderous light
flashed from the judges bloodshot
eyes and his right hand was stealing
toward the frayed tails of his coat.
Look out-hes getting ready to|
shoot" cried frightened voice.
Instantly by doors and windows the
crowd, seized with inexplicable panic,
emptied itself into the court house
yard. Fentress was caught up IN thel
rush and borne from the room and
from the building. When he reached
the graveled space below the steps
he turned. The judge was in the door
way, the center of a struggling group;
Mr.. Bowen, the minister, Mr.. Saul and
Mr.. Wesley were vainly seeking toI
pinion his arm.
"Draw-dam you!" he roared at
Fentress, as he wrenched himself free,
and the crowd swayed to right and
left as Fentress was seen to reach
for his pistol.
Mr.. Saul made a last frantic effort
to restrain his friend; he seized the
Judges arm just as the latter's finger
pressed the trigger, and an instant
later Fentress staggered back with the
Judges bullet in his shoulder.

CantriIl Will Have Clear Field.

Congressman j. Campbell Cantrili,
of the Sevsnth District. who has been
nominated for reelection by the Dem
ocrats, will have no opposition for re-
election in November. The Republi-
cans made no nomination and it be-
came too late for any party except the
Prorgessives to make nomination, a
new party being afforded more time
under the law
At a meeting held in Lexington
Tuesday by the Progressive Committee
of this congressional district it was
finally concluded not to nominate a
candidate. The question of there be-
ing candidate of any kind to oppose
Mr.. CantriIl for reelection is therefore
effectualIy settled in the negative.
Nearly two weeks ago the Progress
sive Congressional District Committee
met and nominated Henry L. Duncan
against Mr.. Cantril. and as Mr.. Dun
can damurred he was urged to take the
matter under consideration and give
his final answer to the committee at q
meeting of that body to be held ir
Lexington next Thursday.
Mr.. Duncan, however. did not neeC
so much time and last Saturday he
publicly announced that he would nc,
accept the nomination. Col. Noe
Gaines, of Frankfort, also proclaimed
that he would not accept the nomina
tIon if offered.
| j. l.. Earlwyine, former postmaste
of Paris, was willing to take the nomi
nation but the committee at it's meet
ing Tuesday, it is said, decided tina
they did not have the money to prose
cute an active canvass for Congress
and also that there was not the slight
est chance to defeat Mr.. CantriII, an;
hence concluded it would be unWise t.
put up candidate.
Six members of the Committee an,
two holders of proxies were present a
follows: j. ID. McClntock. of Bour
bon county; s. S. Uffrtt. of Scot
county; A. B. Arnett, of Woodfor'
county: Prentice O'Rear, of Franklin
