Friday night soon after eight
o'clock fire was discovered in the
roof of the main building of Mclean
College, known as Ben Rash Memoir
ial Hall. The entire upper part of
the building had evidently been
burning for some time, as the whole
roof was ablaze.
This building contained the class
rooms. gymnasium. chapel, ETC.. and
Prof. and Mrs. L. E. Foster and Miss
Louise Jackman, gof the faculty,
roomed there. It was a three. story
brick structure, very imposing in
appearance and crowned one of the
highest elevations in town.
To this elevation was due its total
destruction, for the water pressure,
which is furnished from the water
company, was entirely too light to
avail much. The fire started either
from the furnace in the art studio,
in which some china was being baked
or from a defective electric wire.

Lee Jenkins, a merchant at Edgo-
ten, KY. aged AZ years, was shot
and killed Sunday afternoon by Tom
Slaughter. a negro about % years
old. Slaughter asked Mr.. jenkins
to 20 into the store and get some
cheese and crackers for him. He
and several other negroes went into
the store with Mr.. Jenkins and
Slaughter bought a dimes worth of
cheese and when it was handed to
him protested that the piece was too
SMALL jenkins replied that he had
given him his moneys worth, when
the negro called him a lie with an
oath and Jenkins struck him with his
hand. Slaughter at once jerked out
SSmith & Wesson special pistol and
shot Jenkins twice, a third she t
missing him. Jenkins side was to-
wards Slaughter and one ball en-
tered his side below the heart and
the other went through his pocket
into. his groin. Jenkins called for
help and sank to the floor and was
dead in thirty minutes. His brother,
Oscar Jenkins. heard the shots and
ran out of his house just as Slaugh-
ter ran over the Tennessee line a few
steps from the store and jumped
over the fence into field. He at
tempted to follow, being unarmed,
and the negro turned and shot at
him. In the meanwhile Douglas
Nichols had secured a gun and horse
and cutting the wire fence dashed
after the fleeing negro and soon
overlook him in w. D. Elliott's field

hands. Slaughter declared that he
would die before he would be taken

Sunday Afternoon Feb. "a, 1884,
fire originated in the ell, over the
dining room. The front part of the
building was destroyed, the loss be-
ing estimated at $4,000. The in
surance was $4,000. The school was

o'clock valve bursted at the pump

rect pressure and the standpipe pres
sure WIS not sufficient to throw wat
er with any force at such an eIeva-
ton. After that all that could be
done was to save the girls dormi-
tory near by.
The College is under the manage
ment Of Prof. A. C. Kuykendall and
Prof. H. Clay Smith and full corps
of teachers.
This same building was burned on
November 2, 1905, and once about
81 years before that. After the last
fire it was endowed with $40 600 by
James R. Rash, of Darlington, and
was named for his deceased son.
The school paid off the last of its
Indebtedness about a year ago, and
was enjoying the most successful
period in its history.
Both the boys and girls dormi-
tories were full. total of about 100
boarding pupils being enrolled.
A large part of the personal eff
fects and furniture was gotten out
but much was destroyed. especially
the pianos.
There was but little wind and the
fire burned very slowly and with ar
adequate water supply the building
! might have been saved.
