| but "reminiscences of the old time
bellicose nature OF the man who
fought with pen or bowie knife or
tongue with equal facility. 1t was
because he was fighting man that
the marriage with the child wife and
the reluctance to be interviewed on
the subject attracted attention.
Those were the days when faithful
servitors of the old aristocrat guarded
every approach to White Hall, the
manor house of his estate at Rich
mond. KY. with loaded guns; when
the house itself was In a state OF
siege, guns bristling from its win
dows aud sentries keeping incessant
watch
That impertinent curiosity of the
public regarding his private affairs
irritated the old fighter. The bitter
ness that arose between the doughty
old general and his kinsfolk follow
ing his strange marriage aroused his
animosity. He did not hesitate to fire
on a couple of deputies who APP
preached to serve a writ demanding
furniture which belonged to his
daughters. His Spartan spirit did not
hesitate even to threaten to fire at
his own son, when the latter would
have made peace He was % ia AN
placable nature.
He was a fighting man born and
bred and he died a fighting man, de-
nying entrance to a physician, with
his trusty bowie knife near his pill
low and his guns within reach. The
body of the old man might decay; his
