himself from his asailants. He
backed several steps up the
stairway when the leader of the
mob snapped his pistol at him.
Immediately there was a break
for the door and the mob dis
appeared.
Officers King and July arrived
at the jail a few minutes later and
found the dead body of a man on
the bridge over Stoner Creek, a
few feet from the Jail. The body
was stripped and proved to be
that of Eugene Huston, foreman
of a switching crew in the yards
of the L. & N. Railroad. He is
supposed to be the man who had

PARIS JAILER KILLS
MEMBER OF MOB

About ? o'clock Saturday
morning a negro named Henry
John son, whose home is said to
be in Tennessee, entered the res
idence of Henry M. Meade, at
Paris, who is an engineer on the
F. & c. Railroad, and who lives
on South Main street. Mr..
Meade was awakened and crap
pied with the negro, Selling him
by the throat. The negro struck
Meade on the head with hatch
ct, but the plucky engineer never
let go the negro's throat, and af-
ter desperate struggle choked
him into insensibility, and grab
bing the Ratchet the negro had
dropped split his head with it.
The police were summoned and
officers July and King went to
Meade's residence and took the
negro to the county Jail.
About an hour later a mob of
about twenty-five to forty men
appeared at the Jail. One of
them was dressed in Knight of
Pythias uniform to make him ap-
pear like an officer, and one had
his face BACKED like a negro.
These two went to the door of
the jail residence and rang the
bell. Jailer Joe A. Faris went
to the door and seeing a man in
uniform and a negro, and think
ing an officer was bringing a
negro to Jail, he opened the door.
No sooner was the door opened
than the mob rushed in, seized
the jailer and demanded the keys
to the jail. He refused to turn
over the keys and was roughly
handled by the mob, the mem
bers of which were armed with
pistols. Faris was much bruised
about the body, and when the
leader presented a pistol at his
face Faris grabbed it and the
hammer descending caught Faris'
right hand between the thumb
and index finger and ruptured a
blood vessel, from which he bled

Easy to Beat.

There was 80 little interest
taken in the recent Republican
Senatorial primary that nobody
paid much attention to it. The
returns indicate that former Gov.
Augustus E. Wilson won the
nomination and most Of the Dem

isfaction at the result. 1t was
pretty generally recognized that
If Richard P. Ernst had secured
the nomination he would have
put UP a stiff fight as Ernst is a
good organizer and is well sup
piled with the "sinews Of war. "
But nobody believes that Will
son can poll anything like the
party strength, weakened as it is
by the Progressive detection
and its a cinch that he can't get
any Democratic or independent
votes under false pretenses as he
did when he made his winning
race for Governor.-Bluegrass

DEMOCRATIC TCktT
A Pandora Box.

The closing temporarily, Of the
Mt. Sterling and Maysville turn
pike, in order 70 reconstruct and
make same model highway, has
proven a veritable Pandora Box,
out Of which has come troubles
galore, not only to the citizens
living in the vicinity effected, but
to the officers charged with the
enforcement Of the Fisca' Courts
closing order, as well.
We trust, however, that Hope
yet remains, as she did in the

bottom OF the box, the lid being
closed before she made her
escape.
In the present unfortunate Sit
uation, there were but two horns
70 the dilcmma-either close the
turnpike to all travel and finish
the work, or abandon the under
taking. This was the govern
ment's ultimatum. Every one,
we feel sure, wants to see the
work finished as speedily as pos
sible, consistent with thorough
ness. Work has progressed fully
one-third faster, we are inform
ed, since the travel has been di-
verted and we believe, upon re-
Fiction, those most benefited by
this grand Improvement, will see
the wisdom and necessity for the
closing temporarily of this i'm
portant highway. The future
benefits viii greatly outweigh
the inconvenience, loss of time,
trade, etc, now suffered.
The closing rule applies to one
and all. No one has the author
ity to give to any citizen the
right to travel the closed portion
Of the road, to the exclusion of
any one one else, as every one
must be treated with absolute
impartiality and equality under
the law.
