LED TO A DOUBLE TRAGEDY
EFFORT TO BETTER REL
ATIVES CAUSES KILLING.
Two Brothers for Whose Reform She
Was Jealous Are Fugitives and
Charged With Murder.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--When Ardelia
Hall, 16 years old, living in the Ken
lucky mountains, undertook to break
her brothers of 'moonshining" she
let loose a food of tragedy.
As the result of her we'll meaning
efforts two men are dead, another
is desperately wounded, six mem
bers OF her family are in jail and the
two brothers for whose reform she
was jealous are fugitives with charg
es Of murder against them.
According to the story told by the
girl and confirmed by Deputy Mark
Potter of Pikeville, Ky, she went to
him and told him that her two broth
ers were conducting moonshine
still in the Cumberland mountains,
that she wanted to stop them from
careers of this sort and that he
might destroy the still.
Potter swore in John Sloan and
Marion Ramey as special deputies to
go with him Az night, guided by
the girl, the three travelled through
the mountains. They found the still
where she had told them, destroyed
it and we're starting back when a
murderous fire was poured in on
them Potter says the two Hall boys
and negro ally did the shooting.
Sloan and Ramey were killed and
Potter, desperately wounded, fell to
the ground. The brothers and the
negro seized Ardelia Hall and tried
to carry her across the mountains
with them. but she escaped and re-
turned to the scene of the battle
Mounting Potters horse she rode
to Elkhorn City, where she obtained
help and guided a party back to
where Potter lay. This probably
saved his life, as he is improving and
has chance to recover.
Posses started through the mount
aims in search Of the Hall boys and
the negro, but they have escaped
capture. Six other members of the
Hail family have been arrested, how
ever.

SHE HOPES BY CHRISTIAN, SCI
ENCE TO RESTORE AGED
SCHOLAR TO HEALTH.

ITHICA N. Yin the pitiable cir
cumstance of the utter and hopeless
mental breakdown of Prof. Harry
Thurston Peck, who for more than
a quarter of century has filed the
chair of ancient languages at Column
bia University, his wife, Mrs. Corne-
liza Dawbarn Peck, has assumed com
pIete charge of the invalid, with the
consent of his second wife, whose
financial resources are meager.
The first wife has departed with
him for her home at Sound Beach,
Conn. Putting aside all past differ
ences. which caused her to divorce
him in September, 1908, the first
Mrs. Peck has cheerfully assumed
the task of nursing the former schol-
ar in his declining days.
No hope is held out by the spe-
cialists in mental diseases who exam
med prof Peck while he was in the
city hospital that he can recover.
His first wife is an enthusiast IN
Christian Science, and is firmly con-
WINGED that under her ministratlons
her former husbands reason can De
restored. There is no doubt that
even in his dazed condition of mind
he has taken great comfort in her
presence. Where nurses and physi-
clans have proved unable to control
him-and he has at times had tits
of violence-the presence of the first
Mrs Peck has invariably had calm
ing effect.
WEEDS Intellectual Woman.
The wear following the divorce de-
cree granted to Mrs. Peck against
the Columbia professor he married
Miss Elizabeth Dubois of New York
civ an instructor in classics at the
Morris high school at that time. The
marriage caused some comment, be-
eause prof. Peck in prolific writings
On women had some six years before
declared that against the twentieth
centurv intellectual women every
man should set his face like flint. "
The present Mrs. Peck is said to
bear no resentment against the mrs.

WORLDS GAMEST
MAN OPERATED ON
Physicians Must Work Four Weeks
On Tom McGuire's Jaw in am
Effort to Cure Cancer.


NEW oRK.-Tom Mcclure, "the
gamest man that ever lived" accord
ing to his physicians and friends, is
undergoing an operation lasting four
weeks for the removal of a cancer
of the Jaw at the New York Skin and
Cancer Hospital, and because of his
gameness the surgeons feel that he
will recover
The operation being performed up
On Mcclure is unique in the annals
Of surgery. Nine years ago Me-
CURES tongue was removed, owing
to cancer that formed there. A
portion of his jaw has been removed
and the growth is being treated with
electricity daily When the cancer
has been entirely burned away a por-
ton of the mans arm will be grated
in the jaw and he win be free from
the malady for at least another nine
years
MCGUIRE was at one time treasurer
of the old Fourteenth street theater
andAhas many friends among the the
atrical profession. Robert Hilliard,
the actor, has asked all of McGuire's
friends to aid in providing him with
a private room and nurse at the hos
pital.

arrangement between the two wo-
men. Indeed, after Prof. Peck's ar
rival at the city hospital the first
Mrs. Peck bore the brunt of the ex-
penses. The means of the profes-
sor's present wife are very limited.
He had no private fortune and when
he lost his post at Columbia had to
depend almost entirely on his earn
ings as magazine writer. While
at one time these had been consider
able. in his condition of waning
health they dwindled to nothing.
On the other hand his former wife
received a financial settlement from
Prof. Peck at the time of the divorce,
and afterwards he made divers con-
tributions to her and on behalf of
their daughter, Constance. In addi-
ton, his first wife had property of
her own.
Both wives were at the bedside for
a time, but a day or two ago Mrs
Peck No. 2 left this city for sum
mer retreat near here. Hhe where
abouts are known only to hospital
authorities.
Religious Philosophy.
The former wife, who hopes to do
what the doctors say cannot be done
restore Prof. Peck to his mental
powers-is not a professional Christ
ian Science healer. But she has a
religious philosophy of her own
which she AYERS to have found Won
derfully efficacious in the past, and
she has full belief in her ability to
cure her husband, despite the verdict
of the doctors, which is that he has
"softening of the brain.
zProf. Peck ended his long career
at Columbia University following the
suit for breach of promise of mar
rage brought against him by Miss
Esther Quinn of Boston. She asked
for $4,000 damages. This suit was
dismissed, but she brought another
for the same sum, and that suit is
still pending.
The scholar contested the action
of the Columbia trustees bitterly,
and directed his resentment chiefly
against President Butler, whom he
sued for $4,000 damages for SLAM
der, suit which, however, has never
been tried. He came to Ithica as a
guest of C. H. Gallagher of this city,
at whose home be was staying at the
time be was stricken.
