Mr.. Fred Burman, Editor
Mountain Advocate,
Barbourville, Ky.
SIR
The article in your paper May 13
headed "The Bowles-Shorter Matter
Some Bright Lights on the Incident
does violence to the real facts and
a consequent injustice to me. dc
not know the source of your inform
alton nor what was the motive
prompting the perversion OF the
truth in relation to the incidents re-
ferred to- The article of May 9Th
last on the same question wherein
Deputy Sheriffs, N. r. Helton, Jas.
Jones and myself were interviewed
was true in fact. In the interest of
truth / wish to make briefly as pos
sible a stateme ent of what really did
occur:--
1st-Common wealth's Attorney
Snyder placed in my hands, 5th inst.
warrants of arrest for Marion and
Sherman Bowles, Jim Shorter, and
others and suggested that Steve Phil
pot be given the paper for execution
This special bailiff. with Deputy
Jones and another man failed to
make the arrest because twelve or
more men we're in the crowd and
defied arrest. Philpot made this
statement to the Court. Early next
morning this special bailifr made an
other effort to get his men but they
could not be found.
2nd-Judge Rose then ordered
me to summon fifty (5Ol mer-not
three or 4-of discretion and hlm-
ness to go with me to 10 the wish
and will Of the Court. Report came
that they had gone into Clay County
but our sentinels were trying to To-
cate them that an organized chase
might be given them.
3rd-J. w. Bays, candidate for
Sheriff, was seen standing in front
Of the Sheriff's Office and friend Of
mine suggested that he be taken.
In presence of W. H. Green, Depu-
ties Helton and Johnson, Bays said
he would have to think about wheth-
or to take the candidates for Sheriff
with him when some one in the
Office (but not ~ suggested that
Bays do this. Several candidates
volunteered their services i'm case Of
an emergency and j doubt not that
all Of them would gladly do like
wise II seen, as did Bays.
4th-Mr. Bays returned to my Of
fee about O'Clock and said he
would go, asking permission to sum-
mon (when ready former army
men and command them in a unit
or squad, to which | agreed and told
Bays to hold himself in readiness
Your statement that Bays returned
to office of the Sheriff at p. m.
where he and his comrades re-
mained for two hours but saw no
signs of activity around the office"
is untrue and Bays did no such
thing or have such foolish talk.
Since reading your article candidate
Bays said to me that he came by
the Sheriff's Office at 6 o'clock, went
went around to and in front of the
residence of my father, did not see
me nor call for me, and then return
ed to town. and to the picture show
before going home.

turned to once at 6:3O. met Deputy

phoned County Attorney Golden to
meet Helton and me in Office OF Gov.
! Black, where we remained a few
minutes, then proceeded to Office Of
County Attorney where Mr.. Golden,
in presence Of Judge Tuggle, Helton
and myself wrote another warrant
of arrest for these men, same was
signed by the Judge and turned over
to Helton (Philpot having the Sny-
der warranty During this time
Chief Of Police, Bert Catron was in
the Sheriff's office, door open and a
bright light burning there, as was
the case in the other room OF the
Court House where was for a
while. The officers remained with
me until about S:30, then turned of
the light. visited stores, autos. etc.
working on the matter in hand. At
$3.50 Helton said he would take two
men to some certain places and IL
parties were located, I was to be
notified and another attempt be
made to execute the paper in our
hands; in fact we had no doubt of
success II parties we're located, as
our plans we're reasonably we'll
worked out for quick action.
6th-About 1890 Sunday after
noon, while talking to Deputy Jones
on the Public Square in front OF the
Sheriff's office, Deputy Chester Hale
and Jim Hale came to me in a car
and stated that Helton and Owens
had seen a crowd of men within the
wooden enclosure at the city reser-
voir and for me to get men and guns
to them as quickly as possible" I
believe the two Hales did follow and
spend part time on the hill, but you
suggested that it might be best not
to mention the name Of Chester Hale
in print on account of the Hale
Shorter mix up a few months ago.
Immediately on this information
ordered Deputy Hale to try to find
Deputy Dan Philpot, Deputy John
son and Chief of Police Catron for
their assistance.
At the very moment 1 stepped In
to the Hale car my good friend Ben
E. Parker lost his life, but in face
of this sad tragedy I had a sworn
duty to perform and proceeded with
my work as rapidly as any man
could have done under the circum-
stances.
7th--It was probably o'clock
before the Is men (21 refused to
go) complying literally with the
Courts order, met me at the depot
these men coming from different
points where they had gone to arm
themselves. At this time l met De-
putty Sheriff N. B. Helton and Chas.
Owens, to whom I gave rifles, and
as rapidly as possible we proceeded
to climb the hill from an angle of
the hill where the men il there,
could not see us nor could they have
been able to locate a posse" as we
came thru the streets that afternoon
there always being so many people
on the streets at that time of day.
No men were found. tho spending
the entire afternoon in search. being
at times divided into two. and some
times three squads. Some 2h mi.
from town we found three guns at

which can only exist in fond remem-

with the Progress were always pleas

Garbage Wagons
Lafayette Gazette:


Disguised because of the apparent
indifference of the people to the neces-
sity for sanitation, Mayor Mouton call
ed in all the extra garbage wagons on
Thursday morning and dismissed them.
He then announced that he had made
an honest effort to clean up the town
and had met with no response at all
from the people fully as personally In
terested as himself, and that until suel
time as the people were willing to do
their share III cleaning up the city he
would invoke only the usual routine
methods.
Promptly last Monday morning, the
first day Of the Cleanup campaign,
Mayor Mouton got on the job with an
ample supply of trucks and wagons
loaned TO him by the automobile dealers
and citizens Of the city. These wagons
covered tie city in every direction, but
they found practically no effort being
made TO comply with the cleanup pro.
clamation, aud it appeared to His Honor
that it was a case of love- labor lost
to monkey with il any longer.
