BILL CLARK HUGHES

On Sunday afternoon Bill Clark
Hughes stood on the Cumberland
River bridge, wrapped i'm profound
alteration Of the beauties Of nature.
Nothing stirred but the wind and
his hat, the latter rising gracefully.
took a header and began to sail to-
ward the sea. Bill started for the
same place but found that the hat
had waited for him down the river
and was comfortably lodged in the
rocks. Bill threw some two score
rocks at the hat, which showed per-
feet self confidence in its ability to
doge. Pride goeth before a fall. as
Solomon wrote ages ago. and Bill
finally started the hat on its jour
ney. Travelling down stream a bit.
II again lodged and Bill secured a
stick with which he succeeded in
lifting the hat out OF the water. but
having a date. II deliberately firted
the brim in his direction and again
left for the sea. Bill jumped to
small rock in an effort to catch the
runaway. but it made a getaway as
Bill teetered on his rock. We all
watched Bill as he rose Mercury like
for the shore. He wore his fathers
hat to church Sunday night. Some
fellows would have made the loss OF
the hat an excuse for staying at
home, but not Bill. Who knows
what aborigine on some pplm clad
island may yet wear Bills hat.

BART S. REID RECEIVES
SENTENCE OF 2t YEARS

The trial of Lieut.. Bart S. Reid
which began week ago Wednesday
came to a close Saturday morning
when the jury brought in a verdict
of manslaughter and fixed the pom
atty at 21 years is the penirentiary.
The jury was chosen almc.' at
olce and the trial proceeded rapidly
considering the number of - :nesscs
examined.
For the benefit OF our OFT of town
readers we give a short resume Of
the killing.
A few days before the killing Of
will Lee by Lieut.. Reid. the latte-
was accosted, while on the c. & NJ.
train, by, Jim Lee, brother .of VIII
Lee, who, 1t is alleged. pushed a
gun against the body Of Lieut.. Reid
asking him IL he had seel the gun
before. and threatening to kill min.
However Jim Lee got OF the train
without carrying out his threoi but
he shot into the train the bullet
striking Josh Faulkner in The rcck.
Under the skillful care OF local sur
geons. his life was saved.
These events evidently preynd on
the mind Of Lieut.. Reid. who talked
about the affair a good deal. While
discussing the matter at the foot Of
the ONCE OF Attorney r. N. Jarvis.
a man, unknown to Lieut.. Reid.
shallenged his statement that Jim
Lee had shot a blind man, stating
that he had shot man who was
molesting a bind man and that the
jury had turned him loose. He also
stated that such talk made trouble.
The man. who was Willie Lee. went
up to the office OF R. N. Jarvis and,
on the persuasion OF Sawyer A.
Smith. left his gun as the latter be-
iieved he would be searched on de-
scending the stairs.
Willie Lee then talked with S. Fl.
Jones while Lieut.. Reid watched
from the front of Hotel Jones.
When Lee rode up the street by
the side OF the Black. Owens and
Black Office Lieut.. Reid stepped in
front of him and fired a shot gun,
the charge lodging In Lees upper |
face. He fell from the mule and
died almost instantly.
County Attorney james S. Golden
who delivered the argument. was at
his best and brought out every point
for the Commonwealth with ham
merlike force. There has been gen.
eral comment on the way in which !
he presented his facts which was |
with absolute clarity and skill and !
though his father. Judge B. B. Cold
en- is a warhorse in defense and put |
forth every effort on behalf of his !
client, the work OF the County Attor |
ney was Of such a nature that the !
Jury evidently gave no heed to the :
moving cause OF the tragedy. but
confined its judgment to the issue
as between Willie Lee and Lieut..
Reid.
When the foreman OF the jury |
pronounced the verdict and while
each juror was being individually
polled as to his separate verdict.
Lieut.. Reid remained quite calm to
all outward appearances.
