Mrs. Anthony Dagget, died at Marion, Ind., last Saturday from eating roasted coffee.   She commenced about two years ago to eat a few grains every time she went to the kitchen cabinet in which the coffee was kept. The habit grew on her until she was eating a cupful of beans every day. She stated, before she died, that she knew the coffee was killing her, but her appetite was so revenous that she could not resist it. She died in great agony.

The last pensioner of the Revolutionary war, a Mrs. Damon has just died, more than 101 year of age. There are about 700 widows who are pensioners of the war of 1812, and something less than 8,000 of the war with Mexico. There are about 260,000 widows of the Civil war veterans, and it is estimated that if longevity obtains with any of these to be the extent that was enjoyed by Mrs. Damon, we will be paying Civil war pensions the year 1990, and Spanish war pensions will be paid widows in the year 2023. – Knoxville Sentinel

THE State Baptist Association last week at Williamsburg, was an important meeting. It was held at that point to give au impetus to the school at the place. Rev. H. T. Daniel, who was well known in this county, was solicitor for the place, and dying a short time ago left a legacy of $ 500 to it, the Association resolved to increase it to $ 5,000 and name it for him; of this sum three thousand dollars was raised. The most important movement was the laying of plans to celebrate the centennial of missions. One hundred years ago next May, Carey, an English cobbler and a Baptist, started the first foreign missionary movement. The centennial move will take shape of double donation by the Baptists during the present year to these objects. The College at Williamsburg is rapidly approaching a sure foundation. Some time ago we noticed the fact that Dr. Gatliff had given $ 10,000, J. D. Rockafeller, $ 5,000, and the Baptists of the State, $ 5,000. It is now proposed if the denomination in the State will raise $ 15,000 Mesers. Rockafeller and Gatliff will each add $ 10,000, a considerable amount of this was raised during the Association.

Between Kentucky and West Virginia families and bloody battle is expected

Williamson, W.Va., – Mrs. Chas. Daniels and her 16-year-old daughter were shot to death near Devon, Mingo county, by officers and their posse of Pike county, Kentucky. The shooting of Mrs. Daniels and her daughter grew out of a family feud, which has been brewing for some weeks between the Christians and Daniels on the border of Kentucky and West Virginia. The Christians lived in Mingo county, West Virginia, and the Daniels in Pike county, Kentucky. About three weeks ago George Christian ventured to the Kentucky side and was slain by Jim Daniels, and it is claimed that the murder was unprovoked and most brutal. Christian and Daniels were brothers-in-law, and had formerly been allies, having each served a term in the West Virginia penitentiary upon the charge of murder and shooting to kill. They fell out over a trivial matter and became deadly enemies. After the killing of Christian by Daniels the two families and their friends became involved, and for some few days both factions have gone about heavily armed. The Christians secured warrants for Jim Daniels and his brother Charles, who was also said to be implicated in the murder of George Christian, and led by a posse of 16 under the command of Constable Ferrell, of Pike county, went to the home of the Daniels for the purpose of effecting their arrest. The two Daniels boys were at the home of their father, Charles Daniels, near Devon, and it is said that when the officers approached within a few feet of the house Mrs. Daniels and her daughter threw open the front door and opened fire with Winchester rifles, one of the posse receiving a bullet in the arm and Mose Christian, father of the murdered Christian boy, had his hat shot from his head. The two Daniels boys and their father opened fire from behind the house. Mrs. Daniels was shot down in the doorway, but the 16-year-old daughter stood over her prostrate form and fired upon the posse until she dropped dead across her mother, pierced by three bullets. The officers closed in but by forfeiting their lives, the mother and daughter had so effectually covered the retreat of father and brother that they made their escape. There are now some 30 armed Christians and their friends on the West Virginia side, and almost a like number of the followers of the Daniels faction on the Kentucky side. Both factions are armed with Winchesters, and officers say they are unable to control the situation, and if either of these factions crosses the line and clash, either Gov. Glasscock, of West Virginia, or Gov. Willson, of Kentucky, will be appealed to.

Garrett Davis and Thomas F. Marshall.

By Hon. James Flanagan

One of the most brilliant political races ever made in Kentucky was that between Garrett Davis and Thomas F. Marshall for a seat in Congress from the famous Ashland district. Mr. Davis was born in 1801, Mr. Marshall in 1800. The contest occurred in the year 1845; which was the year following the defeat of Mr. Clay by Mr. Polk for President. The Whig party survived the defeat of their great leader, who continued to serve his country as a Senator in Congress, until death freed his gallant spirit. Mr. Davis ran as the Whig candidate and Mr. Marshall as an Independent candidate. Mr. Davis had served three consecutive terms, as a Representative in Congress and was running for the fourth term. Mr. Marshall had represented the district one term in Congress. Both champions were in their prime, thorough masters of debate and accurately posted upon the political issues of the day. The meetings between them on the rostrum were marked with courtesy and fairness: neither transcended the proper limits of debate, for each of them possessed superb courage and recognized that important fact. These debates were regarded by competent judges as the most intellectual and spirited that had ever occurred in Kentucky up to that time, save the memorable debates between Mr. Clay and Mr. Pope in 1816. Mr. Clay winning the contest by a meager majority. It is not in the purview of this sketch to comment upon the now dead issues involved in those contests. Time has relegated them to oblivion and there let them rest. It is only the purpose of the writer to call more particularly the attention of those persons who have since come upon the stage of action to the fact that Kentucky had intellectual giants in those days, and none were more so than the distinguished men of whom this article treats. They have left their imperishable impress for ability and statesmanship upon the era in which they were political gladiators and antagonists.

The friends of each were enthusiastic and large crowds attended the meetings where they addressed the people. It would be superfluous to write in detail of the great oratorical powers of Mr. Marshall. No man of his day, save Mr. Clay, attracted greater crowds to hear him speak. He lacked Mr. Clay’s Greek fire, voice, manner and personal magnetism, but in wit he excelled the great Commoner though in no other attribute. Mr. Clay’s voice and eye gave him a magical power and as was said of actor Kemble. “There was a melody in every tone that would charm the towering eagle in her flight and tame a hungry lion” and it can be truthfully said of him that all the gods were present at his christening. Mr. Marshall was not only a rhetorician but a logician as well. His wit and jest was infinite and his fancy was so abundant   “That he scattered his gems almost as lavishly as nature scatters her garden seeds,” but with all of his gifts there was something lacking in his makeup that at times caused him to appear erratic. Tread lightly upon his ashes ye men of genius for he was your brother.

But to return, Mr. Davis won the race by a handsome majority, his own county (Bourbon) giving him double her usual Whig majority. Mr. Davis after serving his fourth term in Congress, voluntarily retired, temporarily, from political life to give attention to his private and professional business. At this time his law practice became extensive and lucrative. He was elected to represent Bourbon county in the Constitutional Convention which met in 1849. The reported debates attest the fact that he displayed marked intellectuality in the proceedings of that convention and was undoubtedly the peer of any member of that memorable body. It is unnecessary to refer to the questions discussed in that Convention as this work which seemed to be intended to last for all time, has been superceded by that unique organism the product of the Convention of 1890. Mr. Davis after a lapse of twelve years was elected in 1861 to succeed John C. Breckenridge in the United States Senate and was   reelected as his own successor in 1870. He served nearly twelve years in the Senate which with his eight years in the House, made in all nearly twenty years of arduous and faithful service in Congress. His service in the House demonstrated great aptitude and ability. As Chairman of the Committee on Territories, when Iowa was admitted into the Union, he made a report that was favorable to the admission of the new State, that showed his statesmanship and grasp of such questions. Congress adopted his report and Iowa was given statehood. Iowa honored Mr. Davis by naming one of her first counties “Davis.” Mr. Davis entered the Senate when the civil war had begun between the adhering and seceding States, by which bloody arbitrament the whole country was convulsed. His service in the Senate did not close until peace was declared and the resultant restored Union, which it is said to be hoped may endure forever. Mr. Davis’ career in the Senate was during the most trying period of the country’s existence and the role he filled was exacting and difficult, but he was always equal to the emergencies that arose from time to time. His long public life was never marred by his failure to discharge his duty and to do it with fidelity to the State, which had so highly honored him. Once upon a time a philosopher, who was seen digging in the corner of a fence and on being interrogated as to what he was doing answered that he was trying to find a man. Now if Mr. Davis had been present he would have been spared the search. His manly apology to his colleague, Mr. Powell on the floor of the Senate chamber, should alone entitle his memory to be honored by his native State, in placing his statue in Memorial Hall of the Capital at Washington. His chief characteristics were honesty truth and courage. He was a thorough lawyer and advocate as well as a profound statesman. He represented the State of Kentucky in the Supreme Court of the United States, in the celebrated case between Kentucky and Missouri involving the ownership of Island 10 in the Mississippi river. Kentucky won the case. Mr. Davis’ argument was pronounced by a member of the court to have been the ablest made before that court during his service of twelve years as a justice thereof. His brief in that case is a marvel of research and industry and a monument to his acumen as a jurist. He was a forcible eloquent speaker and possessed rare talents and attainments as was said of him by one of his eulogists, Mr. Sumner, “Amid the perturbations of the times, he trod his way with independent step and won even from opponents the palm of character.”

He died at his home in Paris, Kentucky, on the 22^nd of September, 1872.

Mr. James Thomas Davis died Jan. 23^rd at his home in Paris, Ky., aged 81 years. He was in point of service one of the oldest Oddfellows in the State. The Bourbon News makes the following note of his record.

“He was the last charter member of the Bourbon Lodge, No. 23. I. O. O. F.

He was elected treasurer the night of the institution of the lodge, Nov. 29, 1845, and has been treasurer ever since with the exception of two years, when he retired to pass through the other chairs. Was then re-elected and was just finishing his fifty-fifth year as continuous treasurer. Until about one year ago, when a sickness prevented, Mr. Davis had not missed twelve nights since the lodge was instituted, and that was either to attend his church or was attending the session of the Grand Lodge. He was an Oddfellow whose life was an example for members of the order to emulate, for he practiced the principles of Oddfellowship in his every day life.

Twenty-five thousand people viewed the bier as it lay in state, and it is said that seventy-five thousand were in the city. More Confederate troops were in line than ever before at one time since the war. Everywhere the emblems of mourning showed how much the great leader was loved by his people and how dear is his memory yet. Congressman Lisle was present and sent the following telegram to Capt. D.

Petrified

Was The Corpse Which Was Stolen From A Kentucky Grave

Campton, Ky.,June 5

News was received here that grave robbers had opened the grave of Reese Davis, of Morgan county, and stolen his body. Davis died about ten years ago and was buried in the family cemetery, and about five years ago the grave was opened for some purpose and the body was found to be petrified. A few days ago the Odd Fellows of that county, of which order Davis was a member, were decorating the graves of their deceased members, and upon reaching the grave of Davis they were talking about his body being petrified. Some of the members desiring to see the body, the grave was opened in the presence of a large assemblage of people, when it was discovered that the body was gone. There is no clew as to the perpetrators of the robbery.

Statue Over Winnie Davis Grave

Richmond, Va., March 10

The design for the statue to be erected over the grave of Miss Winnie Davis has been chosen and approved by Mrs. Davis. The design, which is by Zolvey, of New York, is the figure of a sitting angel.   It is to be of Italian marble and will be erected by the Daughters of the Confederacy.

The Winchester Democrat   Tue., March 14, 1899

Women of the South.

Will Honor Winnie Davis by Erecting a Monument to Her Memory at Richmond, Va.

Without solicitation of any kind, and solely through voluntary contributions from those she loved, the memory of Winnie Davis, “ Daughter of the Confederacy,” will be honored by the erection of a handsome monument over her grave in Hollywood. It will be the first tribute of the kind ever paid to a southern woman by the women of the south.

The movement was started by the Richmond Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy. At first it seemed a difficult undertaking. A great monument to Jefferson Davis was already awaiting the raising of funds for its construction, while a proposed monument to the women of the south had been temporarily abandoned. But the women sent out a circular to confederate organizations, suggesting that they contribute as they saw fit to this work of love and contributions soon came pouring in.

The Winnie Davis monument committee soon had $1,000 in hand and designs for a monument to cost that amount were asked for. Many were submitted, but the New York camp of Confederate Veterans desired particularly a design by Zolney, a New York sculptor. This was an angel in Italian marble, the price of which was $3,000. The sculptor’s friendship for the Davis family caused him to reduce the amount to $1,650, which included the $1,000 raised by the women and $650 given by the New York veterans.

Zolney’s design was accepted as soon as Mrs. Davis expressed her wish for it. The sculptor is now at work on a bronze statue of Jefferson Davis to be placed at his grave in Hollywood, and is also designing the Winnie Davis memorial tablet of bronze, to be placed in St. Paul’s Episcopal church, in which Mr. Davis received the news of the virtual fall of Richmond.

It is the purpose to unveil the monuments and memorial at the annual meeting of the Daughter’s of the Confederacy next fall. The design for the Winnie Davis monument is a seated angel. It will be carved in Italian marble and mounted on a hammered granite pedestal with a coping in front. The statue measures a little more than seven feet. The granite pedestal is 2 ½ feet high, 3 ½ feet wide and 2 ½ feet deep. The coping is six feet long, two feet wide and fifteen inches high.—Richmond (Va.) Letter.

Who picked up live electric wire ask heavy damages

Frankfort, Ky., – Because Wm. Davis, a convict sent to the penitentiary here from Louisville, picked up a live wire belonging to the Capital Gas and Electric Co. and was killed, his estate may get $25,000 as the suit against the company for that sum is scheduled to begin here April 27. Davis was sent from Louisville to the penitentiary on the charge of car breaking and had been in the penitentiary but a short time when he picked up the wire in front of the prison one day and was killed. The case was to be heard this week, but owing to the most important witnesses being absent, the trial had to be postponed until April 27, and an order was entered to have certain witnesses brought here at that time. The witnesses are J.J. White, of Campbell county; Uell Button, of Oldham county; Capt. Lynn, of Lincoln county; Chas. C. Averdick, of Kenton county, and John Hunter of Ohio county.

In 1869 he moved to Menifee County, Ky., and engaged in merchandising until 1872; he was elected County Judge, serving until 1878. In 1879 he represented Menifee, Powell, Montgomery and Wolfe counties in the Legislature in which body he was Chairman of the Committee on General Statutes, was a member of the Revenue and Taxation Committee, and also that on Circuit Courts.

In December 1882 he located in Mt. Sterling, where he has since been actively engaged in the practice of his profession, having been admitted to the bar in June 1871.

Judge Day first married September 2, 1860, to Mary A. Greenwade, of Bath County, a daughter of Thomas and Sarah (Kring) Greenwade, who bore him three children, Ellis, Edna and Douglass. He next married, June 23 1883, Miss Victoria S. Cassidy, of Scott County, Va., daughter of Thomas and Lucinda (Richmond) Cassidy. Mrs. Day is a member of the M. E. Church South while her husband is a member of the Christian church. He is also a member of the I. O. O. F., a Royal Arch Mason, Knight Templar, and a Democrat with a record as clear as the noonday sun.

Judge Day is a man of intelligence-a man of honor. His private life cannot be assailed by the opposite party and his political career has been one of answering devotion to the Democratic party. He was one of the best lawyers in Eastern Kentucky and has the full confidence of the Courts, the bar, the litigants and the populace, who, knowing his professional as well as his personal integrity, are satisfied that whatever he does is prompted by a sense of duty to his client and a desire that all men shall have justice.”

Receiver

Appointed for N. B. Day & Co.—Assets Nearly Double Liabilities.

The estate of the firm of N. B. Day & C., a company of W. B. Day and the late Carl Day, of Breathitt county, consisting of timberlands, saw mills, stores and live stock, located at different points in Eastern Kentucky, and valued at $90,000 has been placed in the hands of a receiver.

Mr. Day left his home at Frozen August 22, telling his wife that he was going to New York to collect a claim. A few days later Mrs. Day received a letter from him bearing the New York postmark and stating that he did not expect ever to return.

The business was carried on under the firm name of N. B. Day & Co., the senior member, N. B. Day, who died sometime ago, being the father of Walter. The late Carl Day, brother of Walter, was also a partner.

Floyd Day, of this city, uncle of Walter and the principal creditor, accompanied by his attorney, Judge W. M. Beckner, went to Breathitt county last week to investigate his nephew’s business affairs. A careful computation of the assets and liabilities showed that while the former would reasonably foot up $90,000 the latter does not so far exceed $50,000. Application was made before Judge Riddell at Irvine for a receiver and C. M. Clark, a competent businessman who has long been connected with the Day Interests in Eastern Kentucky, was appointed.

It is believed that Walter imagined his affairs to be in much worse condition than they really were and decided rather than face his creditors under the circumstances, to leave home and let matters take the course they have taken to a conclusion. He is expected soon to return.

Walter R. Day married Miss Mattie Mize daughter of Mrs. Edith Mize of this city. He was state treasurer under the brief administration of Gov. Taylor and has always been considered an honorable gentleman.

During the progress of the affair several shots were fired, some of them going through a coach of the train. One of the bullets struck a young man named Kelley Day, killing him.   Barnes was accused of firing the fatal shot but was recently acquitted of the charge in the Menifee county Circuit Court. The assassins have not been located. It is supposed the killing is in some way connected with the tragic death of young Day.   Barnes is a brother of T. K. Barnes, of this city and was not an unpopular man. If the Day tragedy is not connected with the assassination, no cause of the killing can be given.

In the fall of 1885, he was guarding a desperate counterfeiter in Covington. His pistol was lying carelessly on the table within easy reach of both him and his prisoner. Suddenly the latter drew from his pocket a handful of tobacco dust and threw it full in Day’s face, at the same time snatching the pistol. Though   rendered perfectly blind by the tobacco, he managed to seize the pistol with one hand and his prisoner with the other, and finally succeeded in forcing him into a corner, and twisted the pistol until the muzzle touched his opponent’s killing him at once. Day was tried and acquitted. During the last few years of his life he had drank much, which, with other trouble, caused the rash act.

Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 5 – This city is in a fever of excitement at midnight over rumors that an attempt would be made before morning to lynch the men confined in jail, charged with being in the conspiracy which led to the street tragedy early Tuesday morning. The wife of the late Deputy Sheriff Deakins died Thursday afternoon from the shock produced by her husband’s death, and this has added to the already intense feelings among the friends of Deakins. When the news of Mrs. Deakins demise reached the town friends of the men confined in jail expressed the greatest fears for the safety of the prisoners, and soon began to discuss means of repelling the mob should one come.

About a dozen leading citizens, including several politicians, called on Gov. Bradley about nine o’clock and laid the situation before him, asking that a detail of the McCreary guards be ordered out to assist the jail guards, who have been on duty the past two nights. Adding to the excitement and anxiety of the evening, the desultory firing of revolvers by unknown parties in remote parts of the city were also heard.

Gov. Bradley himself remained at the executive office till after midnight.

“The winter of 1779 and 1780, known as the hard winter began the middle of November and continued until the middle of February, without a single day being warm enough for the snow to melt in the least. Many cattle froze to death, and numbers of buffaloes, bears and deer, wolves, beavers and otter also perished from the severity of the weather. Wild animals, almost famished, were known to come up to the cabins with the tame cattle in search of food. The scarcity of food was so great that it is said a single jonny cake would be divided into a dozen parts, each recipient making his part serve for two meals. Quantities of wild turkeys were caught in pens during this early part of winter and stored away, and on these and buffalo meat they had to depend for food before spring opened. Early in the spring some of the men from Harrodsburg went to the Falls of the Ohio, now Louisville where they paid $60, continental money for a bushel of corn. The coldest day was in January and dominated cold Friday. It was so intensely cold that water thrown up into the air would fall in solid ice to the ground. Alexander Robertson, his wife and three little daughters were among a company of emigrants from Virginia in the year 1779. Robertson, who was the first Sheriff of Mercer county, settled four miles from Harrodsburg, where Burgin now is, and lived there until his death in 1802. His widow who survived him forty-four years, dying when ninety-two years of age in speaking of the cold year, said that her frozen breath often made the hairs on her head stand out as so many icicles, and that the mildest day during the winter was to her feelings, the coldest she ever felt before or since in any other winter.

The warmest winter that has been enjoyed by the people of Kentucky was that of 1825 and 1826. ‘The beautiful snow’ was not seen and mother earth was carpeted in green. There was no ice of any thickness and the ground was never frozen. The winter of 1836 was remarkably mild but not quite so balmy as was the winter ten years before. For these facts we are indebted to Mr. J. D. Marimon, deceased and Rev. S. S. Deering, now a resident of Nicholasville.

The third warmest winter on record was that of 1889 and 1890. Grass was green during the entire winter and in February peach trees were in bloom and many flowers in the yards. But on March 1 a cold spell set in that lasted ten days and ice two or three inches thick was formed.

George Dehart, a brother of William Dehart, being present, and having an ax on his shoulder, started toward old man Anderson, saying, “I will kill you.” Anderson caught the ax and struck Dehart a blow. Then Dehart’s brother shot twice at old man Anderson where upon Robert Anderson, the young man, asked him not to shoot any more. Then Dehart turned and attempted to shoot young Anderson, and young Anderson fatally shot him, Dehart lived only 30 minutes.

For many years James Delaney has occupied the basement of the old Methodist Church on Fairfax street, living alone and doing his own cooking. Someone looked into the window Friday morning and saw him lying on his bed and called the attention of the police. The door was broken open and he was found dead. The remains were in an advanced stage of decomposition and he had probably been dead for several days. He was addicted to sprees and the last seen of him alive was Tuesday of the preceding week. He was drinking and spoke of going to Lexington.

Coroner Brinegar was notified and impaneled a jury, composed of R. B. Brierly, J. W. Hampton, J. A. Eperson, R. F. Richardson, Eli Bruce and J. C. Smith. The verdict of the jury was that he died from unknown causes, but it is the opinion of most persons that death was caused by alcoholism and exposure. The remains were buried in the Winchester cemetery, services at the grave by Rev. B. B. Bailey.

Bloody Shooting Affray in the Capitol Hotel at Frankfort, Ky.

The Tragedy Is One of the Most Sensational in the History of the State—Details of the Bloody Event.

Frankfort, Ky., Jan. 17.—A bloody battle in the lobby of the Capitol Hotel at 1 o’clock Tuesday afternoon resulted in the killing of Ethel Scott, of Somerset, a nephew of Gov. Bradley, G. H. Demaree, of Shelbyville, assistant postmaster, Capt. C. H. Julian, and the wounding of Harry McEwan and a traveling salesman named Golden.

The principals in the bloody affair were ex-Congressman Dave Colson, of the Eleventh congressional district and Scott. The trouble was an old one, growing out of a fight at Chickamauga last year, when Colson commanded the 4^th Kentucky volunteers, against Scott, who was a captain.

The tragedy is one of the most sensational in the history of “The Dark and Bloody Ground.” The killing occurred in the lobby of the Capitol Hotel, the principal hostelry of the state capital, the room being well filled at the time with politicians and others who are here attending the contests for state offices before the legislature. The witnesses to the affair were taken so much by surprise when the shooting began that most of them were almost panic stricken, and there are many and conflicting stories as to how the fight began. Col. Colson and a party of friends, among whom was Demaree, were sitting in the lobby engaged in conversation as Scott and Capt. Golden came up the stairs from the bar room. When they had advanced about half way across the room, walking in the direction of Colson, the latter, it is said, half rising from his chair, fired at Scott, who instantly returned fire.

The shooting then became general and bystanders are at variance as to the number engaged in it. Demaree was standing slightly in front of Colson, and young Scott is said to have crouched behind to ward off bullets from Colson’s revolver. In an instant Demaree fell dead, pierced by three bullets. Capt. Golden, who accompanied Scott, reeled to one side, falling in the arms of ex-Gov. James B. McCreary, exclaiming, “I am shot.”

The smoke in the locality of the antagonists became dense, but Colson continued to press Scott, who retreated backward, shooting as he moved. Colson emptied the chambers of a 48 revolver, and quickly brought a 44 into action. Scott by this time had been shot several times, and as he staggered back and fell down the stairway, Colson, who was within a few feet of him continued to fire till the lifeless form of Scott rolled over and showed life extinct.

The battle was terrific, and bullets fairly rained through the lobby of the noted, several of which went wild pierced window glass or imbedded themselves in the walls and furniture of the hotel. It was not discovered for several minutes afterward that Julian, who died later, had been shot, and at first his wound was thought to be only trifling.

After the killing Col. Colson ran out of the hotel and hurried to the residence of Chief of Police Williams, where he surrendered. He was almost exhausted, and he entered the house gasped: “I am sorry he would not let me alone. There were three of them shooting at me.”

Charles H. Julian, who was shot in the leg, died shortly after reaching a room, death being due to loss of blood and the shock to his nervous system.

Capt. Golden was removed to a room and made a statement that Colson was the aggressor.

Col. Colson, who killed Scott and who is charged with the killing of both Demaree and Julian, and with shooting Golden, has long been a prominent figure in Kentucky politics. He served two terms in Congress and declined a renomination at the hands of the republican party of the 11^th district in 1898 in order to accept the colonelcy of the 4^th Kentucky regiment in the Spanish war. Scott was a lieutenant and Golden was captain of a company in Colson’s regiment, and trouble which led to the tragedy here began then. A feud sprang up between Colson and Scott while the troops were in camp at Anniston, Ala., and in this it is said by Colson’s friends that Capt. Golden was a warm partisan of Scott. The trouble between them at that time culminated in a meeting between them in a restaurant which resulted in Colson being shot by Scott. The regiment was shortly afterward mustered out of the service as a result of the feud between the officers and the serious charges and counter-charges which they had made at Washington against each other as officers. Since then the parties had not met and it has been generally believed that blood would be spilled should they meet, as both were understood to be looking for each other.

Colson’s Trial Set

Colson Trial Begun.

All Civilians Are Searched for Arms Before Entering the Courthouse—Several Witnesses Are Absent.

Frankfort, Ky., April 18.—The Franklin circuit court was opened up in true East Kentucky style Tuesday morning, deputy sheriffs being stationed at each entrance to the courthouse, and no one being allowed to enter unless he permitted himself to be searched for concealed weapons. This was done on the order of Circuit Judge Cantrill. He gave no reason for the order except that he wanted peace in the court room. The cause of it was the calling of the case of Col. David G. Colson, the surviving principal of the Colson-Scott pistol duel of January 18,last.

After listening to motions and postponing a damage case pending before the court, the case was called, and both sides announced ready for trial. Col. Colson was in the court room with his attorneys when the case was called. His attorneys are L. C. Mynott and L. C. Houk, of Knoxville, Tenn., Burton Vance, of Louisville, Ex-Assistant District Attorney John G. Fitzpatrick, James Andrew Scott and Ben G. Williams, of this city. For the prosecution, commonwealth Attorney Robert B. Franklin will be assisted by county Attorney Jas. Polsgrove and Judge Geo. Denny, of Lexington. After several hours a jury was secured, the attorneys being unusually careful in selecting the panel.

The Winchester Democrat, Tuesday, April 24, 1900

Frankfort, Ky., April 19.—The first day of the Colson trial failed to reveal positively who fired the first shots in the duel in the Capitol hotel lobby last January. Capt. Golden testifies that Colson fired the first shot while other witnesses for the commonwealth said both men fired about the same time, and still others said the report from the first shot was not as loud as the second. When the men met Colson had a 45-calibre pistol, while Scott had a 38.

The Winchester Democrat, Tuesday, April 24, 1900

Frankfort, Ky., April 20.—John E. Paxton was placed on the stand Thursday morning in the Colston murder   trial.

Paxton was talking to Chas. Julian who was killed, when the fight commenced. Paxton said he couldn’t tell who fired the first shot, as he did not know there was any trouble until he heard the first shot.

Paxton said he was positive the first shot was not as loud as some that followed it. He said it was his impression that a man standing in the center of the room fired the first shot. He saw Colson follow Scott to the stairs. Colson stopped at the head of the steps and fired a shot down the stairs at Scott. Paxton is of the opinion that Charles Julian tried to escape by way of the front door when he was shot in the leg and bled to death.

As no agreement was reached relating to the testimony of Sheriff Watwood, the Commonwealth continued to introduce witnesses. Dr. G. F. Thompson testified as to the wounds on Scott’s body and hand.

J. M. Hargrove, of Somerset, Scott’s old home, told of the meeting of Colson and Scott at the republican convention at Lexington last July.

Attorney Franklin announced that the commonwealth, with the exception of sheriff Watwood’s evidence, was ready to close. The attorneys for the defense and the defendants held a short consultation, after which Attorney Williams arose and said they would like to be courteous, but they could not agree to permit the commonwealth to introduce a witness for the prosecution in the midst of the testimony for the defense. The court ruled that the witness was unavoidably detained, and the case would be suspended until Friday morning.

The attorneys for the defense then agreed to permit Watwood to testify just as soon as he arrives. Attorney Williams stated his case to the jury and the testimony for the defense commenced.

Colson Acquitted

The trial of D. G. Colson for killing Ethelbert Scott, in the lobby of the Capital Hotel at Frankfort, ended in a verdict of acquittal, the jury being out but a few minutes.   The verdict meets with popular approval, as it is thought Scott persisted in bringing on a difficulty. This ends a noted case; Scott is dead, Demaree is dead, Julian is dead, Golden and Colson have wounds, whose mark they will carry to the grave, but the whole matter will soon pass from the public mind to be succeeded by a new sensation.

Colson Not Guilty.

The Slayer of Scott and Demaree Walks Forth From the Court Room at Frankfort as a Free Man.

Frankfort, Ky., April 23.—David G. Colson, ex-congressman and colonel of the 4^th regiment, Kentucky volunteer infantry, in the Spanish war, and on trial for four days past charged with the murder of Scott and Demaree, in the Capitol Hotel, was acquitted Saturday evening. The verdict was returned by the jury at 6:27, after being out only seventeen minutes. The verdict had been generally anticipated till the last minute of the trial of the case. Commonwealth Attorney Franklin closed the argument for the prosecution with a speech which was pronounced the supreme effort of his life, and its effects on the jury occasioned fear among Col. Colson’s friends till the verdict was returned. When the jury filed into the courtroom a few minutes after it retired, it was at once known a verdict had been reached and an acquittal was looked for. There was no demonstration, however, until Special Judge Herndon, who had been designated by Judge Cantrill to receive the verdict, said:

“Gentlemen of the jury, have you made a verdict?”

“We have,” responded one of the jurymen, at the same time handing a slip of paper to Sheriff Suter.

Circuit Clerk Ford had not finished reading the verdict, which read: “We the jury, find the defendant not guilty,” till the crowd in the courthouse, catching the import of it, broke into wild cheers.

Col. David Colson, who has been confined in the Franklin county jail, which is guarded by the Beckham state troops, and who was acquitted on his trial in the circuit court Saturday, addressed the soldiers Sunday morning in response to an invitation from them. He left for his home at Middlesboro Sunday night. His room was crowded all day by friends who called to congratulate him on his acquittal.

Frankfort, Ky., April 25.—The indictment against ex-Congressman David G. Colson, for killing Luther H.

Disappearance of son of Italian fruit dealer solved

Lexington, Ky., – Floating in a disused cistern in a vacant lot at Limestone and second streets the body of Frank Demma, 12, who had been missing since the afternoon of July 15^th, has been found. The boy was a son of Joseph Demma, an Italian fruit dealer. The find was made by John Muth, son of P. Muth, a baker, who owns the property in which the cistern is located. The condition of the body was such that it was ordered taken immediately to a vault in the Lexington cemetery. The belief is gaining ground that the Demma boy was murdered. His father and mother visited the cistern the day after the disappearance and nothing was found there then. People in the neighborhood say the weights on the covering had not been moved for weeks and that the weights could not have been lifted by the boy.

Goebel’s Friend

Claude Desha, was found dead on the porch of his home

Cynthiana, Ky., – Claude M. Desha, candidate for the democratic nomination for Congress in the Ninth District was found dead sitting on the hall steps at his home. It is supposed Mr. Desha was taken suddenly ill and started for the front porch to get air and being exhausted, fell and expired. At the coroner’s inquest a verdict was rendered that Desha’s death was caused by apoplexy. Mr. Desha had been identified with politics in Kentucky for 20 years and stumped the state in several democratic campaigns. He and the late Gov. Goebel were warm personal friends, and it was Mr. Desha’s testimony in trial against Gov. Goebel for killing John Stanford that brought about an acquittal. Mr. Desha’s wife died about five years ago, and he leaves a daughter about ten years of age. Claude Desha was a son of Gen. Lucius Desha and a grandson of Gov.

In the beginning of this century there came to Winchester a tailor by the name of Elisha Dickerson. He had learned his trade at Bryant’s Station, Ky., and proved himself an artist of no mean ability. He was as brave as if he had wielded a broadsword in place of a thread and needle, and woe betide the boy or man in this town who dared to call him “stichlouse,” he had need to cover his head with a helmet or an iron pot for security against the billet or “billie” that Dickerson carried to defend himself withal. In 1841 he removed to Nashville, Tenn., and plied his trade there with great success. He made a suit of clothes in that year for Andrew Jackson, which he wore at the battle of New Orleans, Jan. 1815 and which is now to be seen at the National Museum at Washington, D. C. Dickerson came back from Nashville to Winchester and when Gen. Jackson visited this town he greeted Dickerson cordially and seemed to have great respect for him. Dickerson lived at that time near where L. B. Clinkenbeard now lives. The streets in that early day were innocent of sidewalks and he had some difficulty in making his way through the slush in bad weather to the centre of the city. He was very sore on the subject of getting muddy, being very neat in his habits, and a friend intending to show his sympathy for him, said:

“Why don’t you sue the town and make it lay sidewalks?”

“What,” said Dickerson. “Bring suit in h_ll and let the devil sit as Judge.”

He was always on the watch for the first rose that bloomed and managed to appropriate and place it in his buttonhole, no matter in whose garden it bloomed. He was as generous as he was brave. He owned an old sorrel horse which he treated as well as one treats his best friend when he is anxious that he should serve him. One cold day when the snow lay deep on all the land in and about Winchester, a young man borrowed Dickerson’s horse and hitched him to a sleigh and called at a home where some young ladies were visiting and invited them to occupy the sleigh. They were soon seated and when the gallant got out of sight of Dickerson’s shop he beat the sorrel until he ran in a swift gallop. Dickerson was on the alert and just as the sorrel swept grandly around Flanagan’s hotel, he stepped up to the sleigh with a sharp knife, cut the horse from the traces and led him away and left the gallant and the ladies sitting in the sleigh to face the piercing cold.

When the time to depart this life approached, he met it as he had met everything that had crossed his path, without a sign of fear. Dr. Mills, his physician, told him one evening that he could not live through the night and he began immediately to set his house in order. He sent for Hon. John B. Houston to come and write his will and Judge James Flanagan and Dr. Mills were sent for to witness it. When Mr. Houston had finished the will, ready for the signatures, he turned to Dickerson and said:

“I suppose Mr. Dickerson than you have forgiven your enemies?”

The physician and everyone present and Dickerson himself thought that he was dying; but sprang out of bed and answered Mr. Houston’s question.

“No Sir! No D__n it No Sir! If I had them all here and they all had one body with one head on it, I’d shave that head off with a cleaver.”

He lived after that night for three months and then died—not having forgiven his enemies.

A man who was killed in a motorcycle crash early Friday morning has been identified as Jimmy Dickerson, 45, of Wooton.

According to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office, Deputy Brad Myers attempted to stop Dickerson at 12:06 a.m. because the headlights of his vehicle were not illuminated.   Dickerson, who was driving a 1996 Harley Davidson, pulled over at Redwing Drive and the Bypass, but took off at a high speed and headed toward the interstate at exit 94. Other officers then joined the pursuit.   While merging onto the interstate, Dickerson went through a barricade and almost struck two police cruisers and a civilian vehicle.

The pursuit continued east bound on I-64 for about four miles, with speeds reaching as high as 95 miles per hour. As he attempted to merge onto the Mountain Parkway, Dickerson lost control of the vehicle and struck a guardrail. He then left the road on the left side and hit a rock embankment.

Dickerson was pronounced dead at the scene by Clark County Coroner David Jacobs.

Stephen Diesback, exhibitor of the smallest pony in the world, was cruelly murdered in his tent, at the State Fair grounds in Lexington some time early Sunday morning. His home was in Watsontown, Pa., and robbery was the motive. After being shot through the head his brains were dashed out with a iron tent pin. In this condition and with the pony close at hand, he was discovered at noon by Andrew Hickey, a boy who had been helping him with the show. It is known that Diesback had $200 in money on his person and his habit was to conceal his earnings in his socks, as he had been heard to explain. Evidently the murderer, or murderers, knew this. Both socks were found turned inside out and rifled. A gold watch in his vest pocket was overlooked. The police are seeking an unnamed man who was in Diesback’s employ, thinking he may be able to shed some light upon the crime. The dead man was married and his wife has been notified. He was a Red Man, and members of the order are taking a deep interest in the awful affair. The Coroner’s verdict is in accordance with the facts above set forth.

Cecil Dills drowned and Miss Fannie Sue Bush barely rescued

Our people were shocked Sunday evening when the new of an accident, which occurred near Lock No. 10, by which a popular young man lost his life and a young lady was barely rescued. Cecil Dills secured a horse and buggy from the livery stable of Clyde Gaines and, with Miss Fannie Sue Bush, went driving. Late in the afternoon they went up the river road from Boonesboro to Ford. The action of the river current had eaten away the bank along the road until it is very narrow, and when near a point near the dock had been reached, the horse became frightened at something and backed the buggy up the bank and then slid over the steep bank into the river. A couple of boats were on the river near by and went at once to their assistance and got there in time to save the life of Miss Bush. Mr. Dills sank just as the rescuers arrived and never came up. The horse was also drowned. Search was at once instituted for the body and was kept up until a late hour. It was resumed the next morning but up to the hour of going to press the body had not been recovered. Mr. Dills was about eighteen years old and was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Dills, of this city. He was quite popular and the sympathy of our people go out to the stricken parents. Miss Bush is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O.E. Bush, and her many friends rejoice at her escape from a watery grave.

Charlie Donahue lost his life by an accident at the Electric Power Plant Saturday evening. He had finished his work and put on his coat ready to go home when in some way he was caught in a revolving shaft. None saw how it was done and he could not tell. Many bones were broken. The accident occurred a little after six in the evening and he lived until midnight. He was a son of Mr. James Donahue. His mother died when he was an infant but a noble aunt had been a mother to him. He was in his 16^th year and in the 8^th Grade at the city school. His disposition was quiet and orderly. His talent as shown by his work in the school was superior. All are in sorrow over his death, but none more so than the managers and employees at the plant.

The funeral services were conducted Monday morning by Father W. B. Ryan at St. Joseph Catholic Church. The burial was at Mt. Sterling.

Loss of Money and Remorse Led Donald to End His Life.

Shelbyville, Ky., Sept. 30.—L. A. Donald, of Fairfield, Va., who committed suicide by throwing himself in front of an electric car in Louisville Monday morning, came here September 20 to enter a local telegraph school, but got on a spree and never matriculated. He remained here several days, and spent money freely with boon companions. On arrival, he deposited a $75 draft in the Citizen’s bank and drew out $25. When he left Shelbyville for Louisville he was given a draft on the Chemical national bank, of New York, for $50. He continued to spree in Louisville, and complained to the police authorities that he had been touched for his cash and the draft. The bank here was notified, and wired the New York bank to withhold payment. His tragic suicide is attributed to remorse and losing his money.

To Hear If The Engine Was Coming And It Cut His Head Off

Elizabethtown, Ky., May 28

Buck Donan, an L. & N. flagman, was run over and killed at Muldraugh Hill on Monday. He lay by the side of the track with his head on the rail to hear the approach of the train and fell asleep. The hill engine passed over him and cut his head from his body as neatly as if accomplished by a surgeon’s knife.
