thorities with having been a member

900 Of unsigned currency In October,

c. c. HUDDLESTON
KILLED BY Debtor
WHITEsRURe MAN SUICIDES AZ
TER SHOOTING HUNTINGTON
LuMBERMAN.

The double tragedy on the Louisville
& Nashville train at the outskirts Of
Hazard last Thursday when c. C. Hud-
dleston, wealthy lumber man of Hunt
Iington, W. Va, and r. B. Franklin, con-
tractor and builder of Whitesburg, were
killed, has been investigated thorough
ly by the authorities who have exam
ined many passengers on the train and
taken statements from some of them
There was no actual eye witness to
the tragedy, because the train was
passing through the tunnel which sep
arates Hazard from Lothair. From the
facts as detailed by passengers ques-
toned, Mr.. Huddleston and his sales
man in this territory had been to
Whitesburg to collect some bills for
lumber, which it was claimed Franklin
owed Huddleston, and while there, sued
Franklin and attached his property.
They then boarded the noon train.
When they had come to within eight
or ten miles Of Hazard, Franklin asked
to speak with Huddleston and took the
seat beside him and they engaged In
conversation. None of the passengers
realized that either Of the men was
angry. The first intimation of trouble
was the firing of Franklin's pistol,
when the train was in the tunnel.
Practically all of the passengers
agreed that only two shots were fired,
but an examination of the two men
showed that Franklin was wounded
twice, in the breast, the bullet passing
entirely through his body; and in the
abdomen. Huddleston was shot in the
heart
The coach in which the shooting oc-
CURED was crowded, but no one real
lied that the reports were pistol shots,
taking 1t for granted that they were
signal torpedoes, until the train emery
ed from the tunnel Huddleston was
then lying back in the seat and Frank
lin was crumpled up over his knees.
Two theories have been advanced as
to the shooting, one being that the
shooting Of Huddleston was accidental
and that he was killed by the ball which
passed through Franklin's body. This
Is supported apparently by
the statements of persons in the coach
that only two shots were heard Doth
er passengers on the train say they
heard three shots fired, and their theory
is that Franklin shot Huddleston and
then shot himself twice. The position
OF the two men when the train pulled
out OF the tunnel indicated that there
had been no struggle. Both men wore
and these were still in
place.
Huddleston died as the train stop
ped; Franklin died a half hour later in
the Botkin hospital at Hazard.
Franklin is survived by his widow
and three children who live at Whites
ourg. and Huddleston is survived by a
wife and three children. Franklin was
IS years of age and Huddleston Al.

'PiNsoN MENTIONED
FOR WARDENsHIP.

A c. Pinson, former mayor of VIII
hanson, Is now being mentioned as
likely to be appointed warden OF the
West Virginia penitentiary. while poll
ucians here are inclined to scout the
rumor that Thomas e. Hodges, former
president Of West Virginia university,
will accept the position.
The merry whirl Of contestees for ap-
pointments by Governor elect Cornwell
is said to be continuing apace. Among
the recent decisions the governor elect
is said to have reached is that which
will prevent any federal office-holder
from accepting position under the
state regime. Mr.. Cornwell is said to
feel that these appointees have already
been sufficiently honored by the DEM
ocratic party.

The Government report of production
In this state for 1915 was 4,170.OO0 bar
rels, with an average selling price of
s2.40 per barrel. While the quantity
produced this year was probably less,
the quality was superior and the
amount OF money brought to the grow

1t is a well-known fact that Ken
lucky apples have the finest flavor OF
fruit grown anywhere. especially can
this be said of our Kentucky Winesaps.
We may not produce the most attract

properly nourishing our trees, cultiva-
