In- charge of the arrangements for the

."Implying to your favcr of the ISih

ANOTHER BATTLE.
FOUGHT BY RIVAL FACTIONS IN
THE KENTUCKY HILLS.

Men Killed and Several WoundeJ
as the Result of an Arrest
An Old Feud.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 17.A spe
cial to Courier Journal, from London.
Ky., tells of a report reaching there
of j the outbreak of another feud in
CWy county, by which Ave men lost
their lives today. The dead are said
to be: Robert Phil pot, Ed. Fisher, A.
Aaron Morris, Jim Griffith, and Hugh
Griffin. These fatalities resulted from
a pitched battle fought near Little
Goose creek, three miles from Man
Chester.
The feud date back nearly two
years. On Christmas, 1897, James
Phllpot waa killed by Aaron Morris,
but before he died he shot and killed
William Bundy, a friend of Morris. The
Morrises and Griffiths axe closely af
filiated. Since then the two factions
have been very bitter and the enmity
has been aroused recently by the
White-Baker hostilities. The Phil pots,
who are the strongest faction in the
mountains, number about 750 voters,
or enl y espoused the cause of the Bak
ers, while the Griffith took sides with
the Whites.
The story that reaches here from
Manchester is that Bob Phllpot was
arrested this morning by Deputy Sher
iff Wash Thacker. While very cir
cumstantial In other respects the re
port does not show clearly the origin
of trouble nor give the reason for Phil
pot's arrest.; It is said that, while
Thacker was taking PhUpot's bond the
latter waa shot from behind by a mem
ber of the crowd that had gathered.
This precipitated a general fight with
Winchesters land revolver, which was
participated j in by George Granville.
Robert and Peter Phllpot and Ed.
Fisher on one side, and Aaron Morris
and Hugh, Jim and Green Griffith on
the other. The battle bgan at about
9 o'clock, and continued! for 10 or 15
minutes.' When it was over, five were
dead and several badly wounded.

Eczema is more than skin-deep. The
