KILLED BY
TOWN MARSHALL

James o. Combs, of Hazard,
who shot and killed Jay Draughn
town marshall of Hazard in that
town last Wednesday night, was
taken to Lexington Saturday by
Sheriff Frank Horne, of Perry
county, and lodged in the Fay
cite county Jail for safe keep
ing. There was some talk of a
mob taking Combs from the Haz-
ard Jail and lyching him, and for
this reason he requested Sheriff
Horne to take him to Lexington.
The sheriff acceded to his re-
quest and Combs is now lodg-
ed in the Lexington prison.
According to the Sheriff,
Combs met Draughn in the mid
die of the main street of Hazard
last Wednesday night about y
30 o'clock and words passed be-
tween the men when Draughn
drew his revolver and fired.
Before he could pull the trigger
the second time Combs was
pumping bullets into his body
and when the tragedy was over
five shots were found in Drau-
GINS body. Draughn died
eight hours later, or at 3 o'clock
Thursday morning.

ADVICE TO LEGISLATORS

.
Nearly all of the new legisla-
tors, and not a few of the old
ones, are promising to turn the
world upside down" by having
new laws passed at the next term
of the general Assembly. If
they will only repeal some of the
laws we now have, provide for
the payment of all appropria-
tions, rid the State of lot OF
useless officers and fix it so that
taxation will be uniform they
will have earned the $40 per
diem that they will draw for
their services. We need the en-
forcement of the laws we already
have worse than we do a lot of
new laws.-Shelbyville Record.

in Squire Moore's" buggy. He
said he didn't put it there, and
laid it on Mr.. John Barns. The
public can judge. In any event,
the editor lost his alfalfa, and
never expects to see it again,
such is luck. The editor wants ii
understood that he is not a rails
ing alfalfa, keeping garden and
farm tools for general distribu-
tion.

Death of Reece NJ. Kinder.

Reece M. Kinder died at his
home, two miles southeast of
town, last Sunday afternoon.
His death was caused by TAX
ing disinfectant, whether acci-
dentally or Intentionally it is
not known.
He returned Sunday noon from
a trip to st. Joseph. His child
rem were all away from home
when he arrived there and the
exact manner of his death re-
mains mystery. His children
and his brother, Sidney Kinder,
who stays with them, arrived
home about dark and found the
lifeless body lying on the couch.
The neighbors and others were
Immediately summoned but DR..
Wilson said he had been dead
several hours when found.
He leaves eight children, his
wife having died less than a
year ago. He also leaves a father
and several brothers and sisters,
all of whom, excepting the two
brothers here, living in Virginia.
Two brothers and a sister came
from Virginia to attend the
funeral.
Reece Kinder had many
friends. He was a hard worker,
good business man, and kind
father. Those who know his
love for his children think that
he undoubtedly took the poison by
mistake.
The funeral was held Wednes-
day at Foster church, the SER
mon being preached by Rev. E.
c. Seabright. Burial followed at
Foster cemetery. The funeral
was atteaded by a large con-
course of neighbors and friends.

The Slit Skirt.

The slit skirt hasn't yet made
its apearence on the streets of
Tazewell. Some of them however
appear to be tight enough to
split.
Gas to the tight skirts, we do
not know. Girls may be harder
to deal with than pickpockets.
Nobody can club them. Our
hope is, however, that nice
country girls, naturally modest
and well behaved, will not un-
dertake to initiate the worst and
loudest of the city fashions and
will dress themselves as they
are accustomed to do, decently
and quietly and give examples
of decorum and the proprieties
of Virginia womanhood instead
of trying to copy the shameless
ness borrowed here from the
North and imported there from
the red light districts of Paris.
Ugly talk; but ugly and unwhole-
some conditions call for plain
speaking and warning. Roam
oke Times.

part of the people whom they
Iserve.
