Lykins was on the sick list for the past week. Constable Henry Campbell is the first here to venture sleighing. Kiser Wilson, of Mt. Sterling was in town on business last week. Dr. W. H. Tutt was in Breathitt last week on Professional matters. Mrs. Vancleave has returned from Wisconsin to her son Carter Vancleave. Misses Alice and Emma J. Horton, and Newt Horton and wife, of Bear Pen, spent the holidays as guests of the latters mother, Mrs Emily J. Byrd. Herald Pieratt, of Hazel Green, spent the holidays with his grandfather, S. S. Combs, and was quite an accomplished clerk in the store during the busy moments. With the first day of the new year last Monday, another bloody chapter was added to the long record of crimes in Breathitt County. Late in the afternoon of that day, at a blind tiger den fourteen miles from Jackson and on the road leading from Jackson to Hazard, a difficulty arose between Irvine Fugate and James W. Noble on one side and Jake and Jerry Noble, brothers, on the other, which resulted in the killing of the two first named, who were proprietors, it is alleged, of the den. The affray was the final ending of a turkey shoot at the den. It cannot be surmised who was at fault, the courts will disclose the facts in due time, pending which rumors are withheld. The slayers, Jake and Jerry Noble, came to town and surrendered up to the authorities and are in jail awaiting examination. James W. Noble, one of the slain, leaves a wife and six children. It is said that ll theparites were related. The murdered men were buried Tuesday. ______________________________
