MARGIN IS TWO VOTES Retiring Officer Alleges Illegal Destruction of Ballots, Fatal Fray Follows. (Asnrlattd Pita Loued Win.) HAZARD, Ky., Nov. 17. Leaving here at 6 a. m. with 24 men, Cap tain James W. Wooten, 14th in fantry. Kentucky National Guard, is expected to arrive late today at HyUen, seat of Leslie county, in the. mountain of hinterland of Ken tuck? to which so roads lead, to disperse a mob. reported to be seeking the slayer of Sheriff Joe Morgan, killed Saturday. Dave Steel, accused of the slay ing, is reported to be barricaded In the Citizens Bank of Hyden, while friends of ,the dead man march up and down streets, equal ly well armed, uttering threats of vengeance it they capture Steel. The slayer would surrender, it is declared, if he felt he would be gven protection, but fears he would fall Into the hands of the mob. The slaying Is said to have been the outcome of an election for the successor of the man slain, Mor gan's wife having been defeated by two votes. "Look me square in the eye." Morgan is said to have greeted Steel Saturday: the shooting fol lowing Immediately. They had tome to talk over differences in regard to the election. Almost as the sheriff fell, his feudist faction began arming, Stell partisans im mediately following suit. Firing by the feudists into the county court house and a wild ride by County Judge Jason Combs to this place to Inform Governor Wil liam J. Fields of the disorder, were immediate sequences. Telephone wires be i rig down, no further communication has reached this place from the scene of trou ble, where it is declared hundreds of armed men are preparing for a pitched battle. ' Ballot Juggling Charged. Steel,. accused of the slaying. Is an influential lumber man of east ern Kentucky. Morgan's wife ran to succeed him but was defeated by her republican opponent, C. W. Reevls, by two votes, and Steel, as one of the precinct election officers who refused to count a number of votes for Mrs. Morgan on the groond that the ballots were spoil ed, was charged by the candidate's husband with illegally causing her defeat. He was preparing to con test the election when he met Steel and was killed., Morgan had Deen appointed sheriff eight months ago to succeed J. Maggard, who resigned after a band of armed men rode into Hy den and shot up the courthouse. Morgan could not succeed him self as sheriff under the Kentucky law and his wife ran for office as an Independent candidate. So far as has been learned, there has been no bloodshed since Mor gan's death. o - LEAVE TO EXTEND Tl WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.

TO BE OFFERED TO Spec Woods and Ernie Woodward to Clash in Headliner Dundee to Battle Boles. Boxing fans, who have been greatly pleased with the past cards offered by the city boxing commis sion, are eagerly awaiting the gong for the next match which will be staged on Friday night at the armory. Promoter Clough bas grouped some fast boxers for this card, and the fans are assured of some interesting battles. The headllners. Spec Woods and Ernie Woodward, are both well known here.' Woods is considered one of the fastest men of his class on the coast, while Woodward, who has been seen in action here at the opening of the season. Is a fast, clever, and hard-hitting bat tler. These two are sure to put up an exhibition. which will .'. be well worth the price of admission. The semi-final between Ace Boles, colored Marshfleld boxer, and Charlie Dundee of Roseburg, Is attracting much attention. Dun dee has been working out nightly at the armory before a crowd of fans, and Is getting Into perfect shape for the match. He is recog nising the fact that Boles Is an antagonist to be taken seriously and Is working hard to get Into the pink of condition and from all ap pearances will be physically fit on the night of the match. Dundee has shown a great deal of ability, and although handicap ped by the lack of a suitable spar ring partner. Is putting a great deal of steam behind his punches. He Is exceedingly quick, fights with a peculiar and baffling defense, and swings a wicked wallop with eith er hand. Boles has a widespread reputa tion for speed and for clever box ing, and his punch is not to be con sidered lightly. This match is cer tain to give the fana a real thrill. Two good preliminaries will also be offered. A decided improvement has been made in the construction of the ring for these bouts. A permanent i structure, firmly bolted, with heavy braces, has been built, permitting greater speed. The ropes have al so een made tighter which will prevent the fighters from falling out of the ring as occurred at the lust card. o TO DIE IN CHAIR NEWARK. N. J., Nov. 17. Har rison W.
