FLOYD COUNTY.

On last Saturday evening at Print
er OH Beaver creek Arthur Martin
shot and killed Oscar Martin, and
Sandy Martin, a brother of Oscar
shot and fatally wounded Arthur
Martin. 1t seems that Arthur and
Oscar Martin had had some trouble
on the day of the election and when
they met at Ad Holbert's store they
went out TO talk over their trouble
and report has It that they had
agreed to be friends and were
ready TO separate when Arthur Mar
lin slapped Oscar in the face, when
they closed and Arthur drew his
pistol, shooting Oscar in the breast,
the bullet penetrating the heart,
killing him instantly, Sandy Mar
tin, brother OF Oscar, took a pistol
from his dead brother and shot Ar
thur, wounding him it is thought
fatally 1t is claimed that Mark
Hunter had just short time be-
fore the killing given Arthur Martin
the pistol with which he did the
shooting, A warrant for being an ac-
cessory to the killing of Oscar Mar
tin was sworn out for Hunter and
he was placed in Jail to await an
examining trial. Arthur Martin was
cousin TO Oscar and Sandy Mar
tin, they being brothers children
II seems that great many OF the
defeated candidates at the last cleo
ton are not satisfied with the re-
suit, as there are number OF CON
tests filed. County Judge Malone
Hall has contested the election Of
b. c. May for Judge, r. e. Stan
ley for Sheriff has contested U. IL.
Stumbo, 10 NJ, Davidson for Clerk
against j. n. Harris, Tilden Collins
against Miss 0ma Preston for Su-
perintendent, A. p. Cline against
James Clark for Magistrate and
Will Akers against Esquire Hamil-
ton for Magistrate. If all the
changes that have been alleged are
proven there will be another race
to run as the entrse election VIII
De thrown out.
There will be an opening sale OF
town lots just below town on next
Saturday. This property Is that
known as the Garfield bottom and
Yves at one time owned by Presi-
dent Garfield. Hon. w. S. Hark us
owns the upper end of this bottom
and has had it laid out in town
lots and is now offering them for
sale. The contract for bridge a.
cross the branch which separates
this property from the town prop
erty as been let to the Oweyo
Bridge company and work on this

talk OF bridge across the Big San
dy river from the Middle creek de-
pot and landing on the east side Of
the river about the center of the
new addition, which win give bot

! For time Saturday night and
Sunday it looked as If the city of
Fleming would be completely taken
over by the lawless bootlegger ele-
ment, composed largely OF ruffians
who came in from the surrounding
country to peddle out their demon
product. Officers Younts and Col
Inns with their able assistants were
however, able to at length cope
with the situation. AS result a
dozen or more arrests were made.
Among those taken In custody and
held on Bookkeeping charges are:
James Napier, Henry Hall, Jonithan
Hall, Marion Hall, Bob Strong, Jas,
Raleigh, Charley Eastman and Su-
son Hall, the latter an Is year old
woman bootlegger,all of whom were
brought to jail here pending hear

rect work by the various judges fol-
Iows:-MIiles so plus, Waterman So plus,
Taylor 81 plus, Stanton 81 plus, Butler
81 plus, Fish IS plus.
This record shows pretty plainly
where the old system of promotion IS
weak. No industrial concern would
think of promoting to higher position
an employee who does less than two
thirds of his work correctly. Why should
o Judge expect it7 Think of the inn
mense expense of this incorrect work and
the injustice OF submitting the people in
litigation to it, Then, too, il one OF
these Judges with less than so per cent
of his work correct is promoted to the
supreme bench his work is final, there
is no higher authority to correct it. And
incorrect work on the supreme bench
means injustice. With over a third OF
its work unjust no tribunal could expect
to retain public confidence.
With these records before them can
the governor or legislature of the state
conscientiously promote judges simply
on their seniority? 1t would not be do
ing justice to the state or the court
itself. The facts given above seem TO
sustain the statement made in these col
umns sometime ago that several of the
superior judges won their position on
politics rather than ability. We shall
be surprised II knowledge of the facts
does not lead to quite extensive changes

In a runaway accident early last even

their niece, Florence Teachout, We're
thrown from the carriage and the two
former were badly bruised. A suitcase,
which was being carried in the front of
the buggy slipped out enough to rub
against the spokes of wheel, which
frightened the horse and caused it to
run. Mrs. Fiddock was driving, and
when she bent over to pull back the suit
case, she pulled the right rein enough
to guide the horse against the side of the
Red Arch bridge on Berlin street, the
hub of the wheel catching in the girder
and upsetting the vehicle. Mr.. and Mrs.
Fiddock landed on their faces, with dis
astrous results to their appearance, but
the girl was uninjured. The horse later
encountered standpipe and was finally
brought to halt.
