coon HUNTERS" ARE NOW
BLAMED FOR THE RAIO
Made Recently on Farmer
Visitors Said To Be
From Tennessee.

Hopkinsville, KY, Jan. l6.-Laf-
ayette citizens who were in town to-
day said that all indications point
to Tennessee as the place from
which the might riders" who Wis
tied William Rose. a farmer, came.
They said that for several weeks an
outlaw band had been operating in
the vicinity of Big Rock and Indian
Mound, Tennessee hamlets. Calling
themselves coon hunters" this
gang has been seeking to drive the
negroes out of that part of the
country. The negroes have been
moved away. A few nights ago, II
is said, colored church was burned
by the coon hunters"
II Is reported that along the Ken
tucky-Tennessee line, many farmers
have received warnings, similar to
the one delivered to William Rose,
not to sell tobacco for less than 50
the hundred. Lycan Bros, millers
at Lafayette, admit that they have
been warned to reduce the price OF
flour so barrel.> They have paid
no attention to the notice, as they
are paying the market price for
wheat. which they say makes the in
I'creased price of flour necessary.
Following the statement OF Coun-
ty Judge Knight and County Attor-
ney Smith of their intention to
break up night riding In its incip-
iency. Judge Tyler. OF Montgomery
county. Tennessee. has rendered his
hearty cooperation. He has offered
500 reward for the conviction OF
any Tennessean In the Lafayette
raid. and says he will ask Gov. Rye
to double this reward II II is shown
that the band came from any part
OF Tennessee.

LIFE SENTENCE GWEN
FOR KILLING UMPIRE
Called a Man Safe On Second
Base, Which Precipitated
Fatal Fight.

Frankfort, Ky, Jan. ia life
sentence for killing the umpire in
baseball game In Bullitt county
must be served by Herman Deacon
"a the Court OF Appeals to-day. In
an opinion of Commissioner Clay
affirmed the asntence.
The trouble between Deacon
and his victim, Robert Nell, ante
dated the fatal game of baseball,
which, was played on June IA 1919
between the Ignores, Of Nelson
county, and the Fancy team, Of But.
lit county, on the grounds of the
latter. near the county line: but the
disturbance which ended in the
death of Nell from a blow on the
head with a baseball bat, originated
In fight between Nell and o player
over one OF his decisions as umpire
in the game.
Nell had threatened the life Of
Deacon, whose attentions to Nel's
daughter enraged the father.
Nell. according to the evidence as
stated in the opinion, was not in
condition to umpire with that pre-
cision and impartiality which the
circumstances required" and conse-
quently became involved in alterca-
lions and disputes. Umpiring the
bases, he called man safe on sec
ond base, and his decision was prov
on wrong by the rules. Shortstop
Jones complained that Nell OF
structed his view of the plate. He
made some remarks indicating
very clearly what he thought of
Nell as an umpire" and got clio,
quently cursed for his criticism.
They came to blows, and while an
other man was separating them,
Deacon struck Nell left-handed
blow with "a bat and fractured his
skull.
Deacon pleaded self-defense, but
the first words of Nell upon recov-
ering consciousness after the blow
proved the undoing of the defense.
Nell incurred: who hit me?"

REPUBLICAN PARTY NOT
PARTIAL TO NEWSPAPERS

Republican remarks the Republic
an party in Kentucky needs about
fifty more good county newspapers. &"
We hope that this will not encour-
age any large number of enthusiasts
tic Republicans to spend their good
money in STARTING party papers. II
there ia any one thing that has been
thoroughly demonstrated in the
past II is that the Republican party
in Kentucky does not want newspa-
pers and will not support them. AS
a matter of fact the party organ is
not as much in demand now as was
once the case. When people buy
papers nowadays they want newspa-
