II Come Back.

Twelve years ago Mr.. G. G. Jeffries,
proprietor of the Jeffries Hotel, this
place, was in Louisville. He met a
man on the streets selling a little
metal tool with which you could
stamp your name The price of the
tool was fifty cents Mr. JeffrIeS laid
down half dollar and had the man
to stamp upon one side his initials,
sc. G. j." On the other side he had
placed the initials of his wife, sc. J"
He then left the half dollar with the
man. He thought no more of it un-
two years ago the half dollar was re-
turned to him in this way: His
brother-in. law, who lives in Iowa, in
receiving change came in possession
of the coin, and seeing the initials he
was satisfied that "Gus" had started
it and mailed it to him. 1t had been
going the rounds for ten years before
Mr.. Jeffries' brother-in-law became
the possessor OF it.

DOUBLE KILLING AT
CAMPBELLSNLLE.
Tom Turner and Dan Hatcher
Shoot Each Other 10 Death
Last Saturday Night,
BOTH NELL-KN0MN In COLUMBIA.

Campbellsville was thrown into a
state Of great excitement last Satur-
day night, between nine and ten
o'clock, when the nsws spread over
the city that Tom Turner and Dan
Hatcher had shot each other to death
in the Evansville Telephone office.
People rushed to the office by the
hundreds to learn that the report was
true.
1t is impossible to give a correct
statement at d distance of twenty
miles, but we give the report as we
have gathered ir from parties who
were in Campbellsville at the time the
killing occurred.
Dan Hatcher was the proprietor of
Gents furnishing store, opposite
the Evansville Exchange. Tom
Turner's daughter operated the Ex-
change. 1t is said that Hatcher was
drinking and that he went up into
the exchange, and that while there
Miss Turner became offended and call
ed her father. He came from his
home, at once, entered the exchange
and the firing commenced. 1t is a
supposition as to which one fired first,
but the revolvers of each were emp
tied. Both men were dead or dying
when friends reached the room and
neither one was heard to speak.
Turner was the Elisor for Taylor
county for several years, but some
months ago he resigned the position.
and at the November election her was
elected Coroner of the county, but on
account of declining health, he re-
fused to qualify. He was known to
be quiet but a very determined man.
He was about forty four years old and
was son of DR.. Turner, who, in his
life time, lived on the Lebanon pike,
about nine miles from Campbellsville.
He leaves wife and i've children.
Dan Hatcher was son of Mrs. Bet
tie Hatcher, whose husband, Mr.. Jun
Jus Hatcher, was born and reared in
Adair county, being a son of Joshua
Hatcher, who lived four miles from
Columbia, on the Greensburg road
He was most generally in a genial
frame of mind and was liked by the
community. He was about thirty
years old and leaves a young wife to
whom he was married about one year
ago.
Much sorrow is felt and expressed
,, at Campbellsville, as both men were
popular and we'll connected.
The two men were buried last Mon
day in the presence of a large con
3 course of relatives and friends.
: The verdict of the Cornnel's jury
< was that they died from pistol shot
T. wounds fred by each at the other
] Turner was shot four times and
Hatcher once. Turner fred first and
!, before he died he beat Hatcher over
9 the head with his revolver.
