ky-footsteps-digest Sunday, August 9 1998 Volume 01 : Number 443 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 6 Aug 1998 07:36:25, -0500 From: DBXP64A@prodigy.com ( C L CRAWFORD) Subject: KFY: Mt Vernon Signal Newspapers, 1899, Rockcastle Co JUNE 23, 1899 BRADLEY MEANS BUSINESS The Governor is Determine to Restore Peace in Clay County Regardless of Cost Frankfort, Ky, June 18 Gov Bradley has not the power to declare martial law in the county of Clay, where a reign of terror exists as the result of the assassination of Tom Baker last Saturday, but he intends to restore order there, regardless of cost. The governor received a letter Friday afternoon from Circuit Judge Eversole denying that he had as reproted adjourned court at Manchester because of the fear of personal violence. The judge says that court was adjourned becasue he realized that justice could not be meted out with affaris in such chaotic condition. He says that he will hold a special session in Clay within the next few weeks. The troops will probably be sent back then. If order can not be restored and thos under incictment tried a special session of the legislature would be the only remedy. Under the present Kentucky law the governor cannot even appoint a special judge until the regular judge has refused to sit and the circuit clerk notifies him that the members of the bar have failed to elect. In Clay county the circuit clerk is a member of the White faction, and if Judge Eversol should decline to sit he would practically have the selection of his successor. If an exta session wer held the county of Clay would either be abolished and divided up among adjoining counties or the governor would be given power to appoint sepcial judges at will and special grand juries from other counties to go to a lawless county and investigat and find the incictments. The governor Friday night declared to be false the special dispatch sent out from Lexington Thursday that he was equipping soldiers in Eastern Kentucky to go to Harlan county. Teh condition there is much better than it is in Clay county. MRS TOM BAKER She will take her Children and Settle in the Indian Territory-A Peaceful Outlook in Clay County R.B. Lucas of Manchester who is here as a delegate to the democratic convention says the BAKER-HOWARD feud is at an end. He says that Mrs Tom Baker has decided to go to her father who is a prominent farmer in Indian territory. She will take her children with her. Dr Lucas declares that the men who have been corraled and armed in the mountains have laid down their weapons and returned to their homes and to their work. A better and more secure feeling prevails throughout the terror stricken section. Everybody now appears to be satisfied to let the law take its course and the members of the factions are disposed to have peace. Leading citizens who have taken no part in the feud are now edeavoring to get the Whites, Howards, Bakers, Philpots and others involved in the fighting to agree that they will do all in thier power to prevent further bloodshed. These men are said to take kindly to this idea and when each faction is assured that no one of its side will receive harm at the hands of the enemy it is thought peace will be permanently restored.

I shall never forget that night when Uncle George--Hog Eye, as he was sometimes called, Capt Harve King and his sons, Camel and Dameron who was an Uncle to the Langford boys and others saw me at my store at Lynn Camp, Knox county and stopped long enough to inform me that they had had nothing to eat for two days and were very hungry. And if you have the space to spare I will correct and elaborate the account given by your correspondent. It was not at Barbourville but eleven miles this side on the "Wilderness Turnpike" road at lynn Camp, that I furnished the prisoners who were accused of bushwhacking by the "Confederates" with such provisions as could be obtained at the house of Mrs Stephen Colyer, where I boarded. The rebel soldiers, as they were then called, had been stopping with us some days at intervals and had about consumed everything eatable on the premises. But I got permission to visit the camp which was located on "Robers Hill" about one mile south of Mrs Colyer, and take the boys something to eat. All that could be found was a small quantity of meal and Irish potatoes. These were prepared as best we could, and about midnight accompanied by John Colyer, of color, we took a couple of baskets partly filled with the bread and potatoes went to the camp without molestation and found the prisoners asleep. They were soon awakened and speedily dispatched the meager supply saying in voices filled with emotion "it was the sweetest bread and potatoes they had ever eaten" After an hours chat in which they told me they were charged with me being "Bushwhackers" but were innocent, yet feared they would be shot, s they had no witnesses and some parties in the vicinity in which they had been captured had fired into the passing Confederate army from the bushes, and thus left suspicious resting upon them. I bid them a painful adieu, never expecting to see any of them again, nor have I except Uncle George who came back in a few days and told me that all the others were shot at Cumberland ford now Pineville. On the second day after I saw them! My recollection now is there were sixteen of them. I only remember Capt King and sons and Campbell Damaron, but it is probable I knew some of the others. If Uncle George who was born and raised in this county married a Miss Samuels the first time who was a sister to my uncle, J.R. McClary and raised a family out on the Copper creek road where Uncle Jack Henderson now resides, should see this article it means for him to come and see me! The latch string is out and says come in. But I am digressing...The war, with varied successes and reverses continued and with a short time after the occurrence of the events first mentioned in this article some unfortunate CONFEDERATE soldiers fell into the hands of some of Capt Kings friends whom with a brother of his as leader avenged the death of the deceased, by hanging six of them to a limb of a certain tree near the "Old Hackney Tavern Stand" , 2 miles north of Livingston. I have no personal knowledge of this hanging, but it was currently reported as a fact at the time, and I have the tree pointed out to me several times since. But enough of these painful reminiscence. The Cuban war has reunited North and South, estranged families are again living in brotherly love, the valor of our army and navy and the genius of our commanders has again bee tried as with fire, and found to be such as to astonish the great military leaders of the "Old World" and command the respect of mankind!
