EXCERPTS
We sincerely trust that some steps will be taken immediately towards
building a bridge over the Kentucky River at this place. It should be
completed next fall before the water rises. We would like to see the county
build it, but if the authorities decline to do so, then let us have a
bridge anyway. It will pay big--$15,000 will make a first class iron bridge
with approaches. He who projects the enterprise will be a benefactor.

Dr. J.W. Hartmess and wife, of Campton, came into Jackson Tuesday. They
have taken rooms in the Hurst building.

W.T. McIntosh, who has been at Louisville for several months, receiving
treatment of his eyes, is at home again greatly improved.

Another Shooting

Green Miller shot Nimrod Fugate and inflicted a wound that will probably
prove fatal, at Jeremiah Miller's on the Cana Fork of Troublesome Creek, 15
miles from this place, last Saturday. The ball passed through his chest.
Fugate and his wife had seperated. She was standing in the door of the
house as Miller and Fugate were passing, and upon seeing her, Fugate began
to fire and shot four times. Miller who was the friend and cousin of
Fugate, tried to prevent him from shooting and when he could not restrain
him, he shot him to prevent him from killing his wife. Miller gave himself
up, appeared before Judge Cardwell, waived examination and gave bond in the
sum of $500 for his appearance at Circuit Court. We give the case as we
hear it, but as no examination trial has been held we cannot tell how true
they are.

Miss Sallie Patrick narrowly escaped a horrible death a few days ago. The
dregs from the coal oil can had been thrown on the coal in the scuttle, and
as she went to empty some of the coal into the cooking stove, the coal oil
ignited and the blaze flashed up into her face and around her person. The
oil had been thrown away because it was so weak, and the poorness of the
oil is all that saved her. She was not hurt.

Matilda Neace, of Lost Creek, a woman forty years old, has been living in
the family of J.W. Clark for three weeks past. Tuesday night she left Mr.
Clarks, taking with her several dresses and other articles amounting in
value to $28. The officers have failed to capture her so far.

LATER.---The woman has been captured, and the goods recovered.

L.C. Garriott arrived here from Sulphur with his family the 5th, and they
are now comfortably located in the J.M. Snowden property, adjusting
themselves to their new surroundings. They are pleasant people and a
valuable acquisition to our social and business circles.

Lee Jenkins, of Lexington, is to hang for killing Washington Ramsey.

John Sewell and Young Crosby, Kentuckians,carried off the first and second
onors at West Point this year.#8
