KEN UCKY FEUD.
Toe Bakers fled Howards
Used Dynamite Cartridges.
BAKERS ON DEFENSIVE
Dramatic Arrest of The Fight
ing Mountaineers.
Manchester, Cay County, Ky.,
June 16. —The arrest of the Ba
kers was a dramatic affair.
Col. Forrester’s soldiers pitched
their camp in the stronghold of
the Bakers in a guich on Laurel
Creek Sunday night.
At once mountaineers bsgan
ridirg to the camp. Each car
ried a 50 Winchester and two 45
Colts. From every by-path they
trailed in till there were
75 assembled. Seme carried two
Winchesters each.
Then the Bakers began dropping
in, but did not pretend to surren
der. Nor was any attempt made
to take them. Monday, after
they had been assured that the
soldiers could protect them from
the Howards, Thomas Baker, the
leader gave up his arms and call
ed upon his brothers to do so also.
All did it but Ans. He was left m
in the mountains.
This settled, the soldiers gave a
drill. That pleased the mountain*
eers. Ttoey lent horses, and the
soldiers gave a cavalry drill. The
entire bodyguard of the Bakers
then volunteered to enlist in the
army.
At midnight Monday camp was
broken and the march to the town
began . The armed retainers stayed
behind but scouts went ahead to
see that nons carried word of the
coming ahead. Thus the party ar
rived a mile from town at day
break without any in town know
ing of it. After breakfast the sol
d ers inspected their rifles and re
loaded them. They then formed in
close line (10 crowded close about
each prisoner), and, sending a
courier ahead, marched to town
“I had had some of those ex
plosive dynamite cartridges in the
rifle that I shot Will White with,
and it might be that one of them
Went out at him. They do bad
work. I have shot them into a
tree and they tore it up pretty
badly. They look like other car
tridges, except that a bit of copper
shows at the end. ”
This statement was made to
the correspondent by Thomas Ba
ker, leader of his side of the Baker
Howard fend.
“The first we know of any
trouble,” be said, “was when Jixr
Howard waylaid our father and
killed him. They say we ambusbed
them the day before. It is not so.
The Howards have trouble with
everybody, and there are many
people who might have done ths
shooting. We heard the shooting
from our house. It was just dinner
time, and brother's dinner ball
rang about the time of the volley.
“We want no trouble with the
Howards and have done nothing
but in selfdefenee.”

NOTHING SUCCEEDS
Like Success find Therefore
Watters X .-Son
ARE LEADING THE PUSH
Money Raising Sale Will ; Run
This Week-
Watters & Son, the big Broad
street clothiers, know exactly
how to carry out any undertak
ing or enterprise in which they
engage.
This wide awake hustling firm
of up-to-date business men found,
some ten days ago that, owing
to a mild winter, business had
not been as good as it should
have been —and in consequence
they would soon be in need of
funds.
They had an enormous stock,
but cash was needed worst and
so the firm very promptly decid
ed to lay the knife into prices
and throw their stock on the
market.
Last Sunday morning they
announced a “Money Raising
Sale” and to show that the}
meant business they specified
gefods and quoted prices.
The result has been exactly
what the firm anticipated. Their
store has been crowded from
morning to night for six days.
The crowds have flocked in,
have examined goods and eager
ly purchased, for the people
know bargains when they see
them.
“Our sale for the past week
has been all we anticipated,”
said Mr. J. B. Watters yester
day. “We are rapidly exchang
ing bargains for cash and while
we are raising the funds we
needed in our business, we are
at the same time clothing the
multitudes.”
“Our advertisement in The
Hustler—C omme«• ci a 1 has
brought us rich returns, and you
can leave it stand, unchanged,
for another week. It states what
we are doing and that is all that
we want it to state.”
“We will continue the sale for
a few days longer and then will
promptly shut off the slaugh
ter.”
A word to the wise is sufficient
—so look over the Watters &
Co., add and govern yourself by
what you see.
Now is the time to join the
push.
Beware
01 the Knife.
Mr. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfield, Mo.,
writes: "For six years I have been •
sufferer from a scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. C.,
Springfield, 111., and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months’ constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re
moral of the gland. At this critical mo
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju
dice against all patent medicines, I be
gan its use. Before I had used one bot
tle the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though I am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had I only used your S.S.S. long ago,
I would have escaped years of misery
and saved over fi.50.”
This experience is like that of all who
■ufier with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root of
the disease and forces it out perma
nently.
S.S.S. {guaranteed purely vegetable)
K Real Blood Remedy*
is a blood remedy for real blood troubles;
it cures the most obstinate cases of
Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer, Rheumatism,
etc., which other so-called blood reme
dies fail to touch. S.S.S. gets at the
root of the disease and forces it out per
manently. Valuable books will

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

CONTINUED JAM.
Twenly=fiye Clerks Kept on
Hie Rush.
EVERY DRY BARGAIN DAY,
Goods Going, as Advertised,
• Regardless of Cost.’’
Every day is a “bargain day”
at the big Bass Bros & Co’s,
closing out sale.
And every day witnesses jams
that have never before been
equalled in the mercantile histo
ry of Rome.
Even the showers do not stay
the tide of the b irgain thirsting
humanity, and but seldom im
perceptibly impedes its onward
rush.
Twenty-five clerks, all expe
rienced salesmen and sales la
dies, are scarcely able to handle
the trade that has been drawn
to Bass closing out sale, for
several hours each day for the
past three weeks.
Hence we say every day is a
bargain day. The Hustler-Com
mercial did not go through the
stock today. It was work enough
to go through the store, and
what we saw along the middle
tier of tables and counters was
enough to satisfy us or any one
else that the stock is being
slaughtered.
After seeing gents necties that
cost all the way from 19 to 70
cents going into a common re
ceptacle and going at 10 cents
each, it was easy to account for
the swarm that hovered around
the edges of this sweet.
Then when we saw a table of
sox, including half hose, that
ranged in cost from 15 to 44cls,
the pair and saw them going at
15 cents for choice ; why, it was
easy to understand why this
cord of sox was a popular chord.
Then there was the gent’s
shirt table. On it was a rack of
100 shirts just takm from stock
and every shirt costing from 55
to sfl.lo each, and you take your
choice for 39 cents. Think of
that, a laundried or an unlaun
dried, a white or colored, a hard
bosom or negligee, anything
and everything going at 39cts.
I noticed four large counteis
packed and stacked with ging
hams, muslins and dimities,
none of them costing the house
less than 64 cents, while some
cost as high as 33 cents, and
these goods were selling for 6
cents per yard.
Here Mr. Powers, the heaa
salesman, was called awav for
the half a dozenth time, and af
ter waiting a half hour and see
ing there was no chance for him
toes ape from a cordon of cus
tomers that waited on him col
lectively while he wailed on
them consecutively, I departed I
those coasts.
Bass Bros, & Co., are doing
all they advertise—and, if any
difference—more too I
“Hash.”
