WORLD RECORD TOBACCO
PRICE PAIO At PARIS
Burley Brings SIG Per Hundred
Pounds on Bourbon
County Market.

Paris, KY, Jan. 31.-The sky
seems to be the limit in the matter
Of prices paid for tobacco on this
market. Following a State record
price Of $113 received for part of a
crop Monday came a worlds record
price today, when part of the crop
of Brennan & Gay, this county, sold
for 1926 per hundred pounds. This
is the highest price ever paid for
Burley tobacco on any market. The
average received for this entire
crop was s2s.24.
One house sold 131,1S5 pounds
for $27,30O.50, averaging $20.S1
per hundred. Prices ranged from
$40 to 1926. In another house the
sale was blocked on account of dark
ness and will be continued tomor-
row. At a third house $3.50
pounds were sold at an average OF
$2O.25. The quality was fair ~
poor, but prices were on rising
scale and bidding was spirited.

Whitley jumped up, threw his gun
to his face and the Indian, seeing
him, raised his gun. Both fred
sounding like the report Of but one
gun-and both fell dead
AT this time Johnson's Battal-
ion came up in force, a charge was
ordered and sharp skirmish ensu-
ed. The Indians retreated scatter
ing in the bushes and this part Of
1918 was over.
"In the meantime the Second Bat
talon, under James Johnson, had
attacked the British line by charg-
ing them-the infantry surrendered.
The cavalry made their escape.
After the battle with the Indians
was over, Richard Spur, being a
minor officer, was ordered to take
a sufficient squad of men and bring
the dead into camp, which duty he
performed. He found the body of
McGunnigle lying in a thicket of
briars and the body of Col. Whitley
lying where he had seen him fall,
with two fresh Indian scalps at his
belt. Just over the log lay the first
Indian shot by Whitley, and in the
middle of the slough he found the
second one Whitley had killed, ly-
ing on his face and with a strip of
skin two inches wide and more than
a foot long taken from the middle
OF his backk. These four bodies he
carried into camp and laid them
down side by side.
Gen Harrison was present, look
ed at the bodies and said the one
with the strip taken from the back
was that of Tecumseh; he had seen
him often and knew him we'll. The
power of the Indians in the North
west was broken with the fall of Te-
cumseh.
Col r. NJ. Johnson always had
the credit of killing Tecuhseh and it
made him Vice President of the
United States. He however. never
claimed it. Yet he did kill an In
dian in the battle, at some distance
though from the point where the
incident above related took place.

any man; he was a devoted friend
of Johnsons and forbade me giving
it any publicity while he lived.

far as they refer to the subject of
the paper, are substantially true.
