A GOOD FRIEND

A good friend stands by you
when in need. Mt. Sterling people
tell how Doan's Kidney Pills have
stood the test. Mrs. Trimble en-
dorsed Doan's over three years ago
and again confirms the story. Could
you ask for more convincing testi-
mony?
Mrs. n. Trimble, II Jamison St.,
Mt. Sterling, says: "The worst
trouble l had was with my kidneys.
Their action was irregular and the
kidney secretions were unnatural.
I was subject to severe pains in my
loins and often l had nervous spells.
l did not sleep well and in the morn
ing felt all tired out. Finally l be-
gan using Doan's Kidney Pills, pro-
cured at Duerson's Drug Store, and
I soon felt better. ! continued TAX
ing them until l was we'll"
OVER THREE YEARS LATER,
Mrs. Trimble said: "All / said in
praise of Doan's Kidney Pills be-
fore, holds good"

join in the effort to prove that the
Webb-Kenyon law is constitutional
they must have not only some

If the supreme court agrees with

bravely fell for more than an hour.
One fourth of the combatants had
fallen on either side and several
others were wounded.
"Estill, finding he could gain no
advantage over the Indians at their
own peculiar mode of warfare,
undertook to outnank them by
sending a detachment Of six men,
under Lieut.. Miller, up a valley
running from the creek toward the
rear of the enemy's line.
"Whether through treachery or
imbecility, Miller failed in his ma
neuver, and the old chief, finding
the fire of the whites has slackened,
ordered a charge across the stream,
and the Indians rushed with rifle
and tomahawk upon the diminished
band and routed the whites after

badly wounded but escaped. There
is tradition that only two of the
Indians got back to their tribe.
Monk, the slave, reported that sew
enteen Indians were killed and two
wounded. The battle lasted about
two hours, and is memorable Tor
the equality of its opposing num-
bers, for the great fortitude with
which it was maintained and for
the uncommon proportion of the
slain. The whites were the best
shooters, but the Indians the best
hiders. There is a tradition that
at the beginning OF the fight a
stalwart Wyandotte had climbed
into the forks of large sycamore
near the creek, whence at his lei
sure he picked off at least three
men before his murderous rife was
silenced by concentrated fire
that brought him to the ground.

fred his gun first, and the Indians
fed. David Cook, in his ardor, got
some distance in advance, and see
ing an Indian halt, raised his gun
and fired and just at that instant
another Indian passed in and one
shot proved fatal to both.
"Adam Caperton, one Of Estill's
warmest personal friends, was shot
through the head, which did not kill
him Immediately, but crazed him.
Unconscious of what he was doing,
he staggered into the open space
that separated the combatants, when
a powerful Wyandotte, whose gun
had just been emptied, sprang from
behind tree to tomahawk and
scalp him.
"Estill near by, with his gun also
empty, and wounded three times,
could not abandon his unarmed
friend, but rushed toward the saw
age with a drawn butcher knife.
The latter saw his danger, and
turning instantly, grappled with
Estill in a hand-to-hand, life and
death contest. Each was so power
full and quick, the other could not
use his weapon, first up, then down
upon the ground; twisting and
turning like two immense serpents
struggling for the mastery. AT

I noticed in your issue Of Marc
22nd the following telegram:
Mt. Sterling, KY, March %.
Today marks the 134th an
niversary of the memorable
battle Of 1882 between the band
of Wyandotte Indians and
Capt. James Estill on the
banks Of Hinkston creek, one
half mile from this city, in
which Captain Estill and his
followers were completely an
initiated by the Red Skins.
The battle is known in history
as "Estill's Defeat" and was
brought about by the slaughter
of women at Estill's furnace,
in what is now Estill county,
KY, by the Indians. Captain
Estill following them to the
banks of Hinkston creek, in
this county. The spot is located
in the Montgomery county fair
grounds in this city.

 Finally we secured a key from someone in the statehouse that did unlock the desk and then proceeded to check the returned poll tax re- cepits. We found a large number missing, amounting in the thousands, and one book of blank stubs had been left in the desk. This book contained 600 blank stubs and another had PA torn out of it and several counties missing. When I asked why they were missing l was informed by Stoddard that he knew nothing about why they were missing"

AUDIT OF COUNTY
 BOOKS ENDOWED

Morrilton, Feb. 12.-Acting upon a petition presented by Mayor J. A. Frisby for the residents of Morrilton and taxpayers of Conway county, Circuit Judge A. B. Priddy February granted temporary restraining rder and an injunction was served late yesterday upon the expert ac- countants, H. w. McDermott and w. M. Martin of the Leathem Company Memphis, preventing further audit of the books of county and city officials.
 The restraining order is in effect until it can be heard upon it's merits in circuit court, which convenes here the first week in March. In this pe- tition Mayor Frisby says "he does not believe that there is any necessity for audit of the books of the county, and he believes that such audit at this time will be useless expense to the county, especially in view of the fact that the county judge has select ed non-residents of the state and men about whom he says he knows noth- ing"
 In the petition filed before Judge Rhodes previously in the matter of employing expert accountants and from which affidavit of appeal were made, Mayor Frisby said the resi- dents of Morrilton object upon the ground that the books had been re- gently examined and reported upon by the county commissioners of ac- counts and that no irregularity was found, and that the proceedings would mean an enormous and unnec- essary expenditure of money.
 McDermott and Martin were em- ployed February 1 and on February 8 filed claim in court for $350 for seven days work. This the county judge allowed, but an appeal has been taken. There the matter rests.

CADRON TO ELECT | BUT TWO JUSTICES LIGHT VOTE IN 1914
WILL CUT NUMBER OF JUS TlCES OF PEACE IN THIS
 TOWNSHIP.

1t is not generally known that the number of justices of the peace in Cadron township will be reduced from four to two after the next gen. eral election, but the light vote cast in the September election in 1914 will have this effect. Only 541 votes were boiled in the general election of 1914 as compared with 941 in the general election of 1912.
 Section 4543 of Kirby's Digest pro- vldes that leach township shall elect at each general election, one justice of the peace for every 200 electors provided, that each township, howev- CT small, shall have two justices"
 The following section more clearly defines how the number is to be as certained, by providing that "in as certaining the number of justices to be voted for and commissioned. the number of votes cast in the general election next preceding shall be taken as conclusive of the number of cleo tors in such township
 Under this law, unless a township cast GOO or more votes at one cleo ton, 1t would not be permitted to elect more than two justices of the peace at the succeeding election. Cad ron township has elected from three to five justices at each election since 1906, and this will be the first time in 10 years it will drop to the mini mum of two.
 The present justices are G. M. Eas- terwood, E. kuykendall, L. B. Atkei- son and John L. Phillips. Judge Easterwood is the only avowed can dldate for reelection at the March primary, up to the present, although several others are said to be consider Ing the matter of making the race.

The manner in which the fire origina-

to be plainly evident.
