GONE WRONG
Dr. McCANLAS, a Prominent Physician of Campbellsville Missing.

About ten days ago the citizens of Campbellsville made up one hundred
dollars for the purpose of sending BUSTER WILLOCK to a Keeley Cure. The
money was placed in the handss of Dr. McCLANLAS, a physician who located
in Campbellsville several months ago, to convey BUSTER to a sanitarium.
They went to Cincinnati and there the doctor disappeared with all the
money. BUSTER made dilligent enquiry as to his whereabouts and learning
nothing, dispatched to Campbellsville for money to defray his expenses
home.
Saturday morning the wife of McCANLAS left Campbellsville, presumably to
meet her husband, just where , is clouded in mystery.
The foregoing is public chat all over the country, and for that reason
we can see no impropriety in giving the facts through the news.
In justice to the doctor we will state that there are those who are
charitably inclined to think that he is on  a spree and will turn up all
right.
Since writing the above we learn that WILLOCK has returned home, and
that all the doctor"s plunder has been attached for debts.

the year and engage in the hotel business. Mr. HERRIFORD is a good hotel
man, having been in the business here for several years.

Circuit Court will open in the morning . The docket is light-- but few
important cases ready for trial. the Grand jury, I undertand , is
composed of good men, who will use their uutmost endeavor to break up
the "Blind tigers" that are scattered over the county.

BOB YOUNG, who was recently elected assessor, will be in town to-morrow.
BOB is very much elated over his election. He is a staunch Democrat and
defeated his Republican opponent by a good majority. Cumberland usually
gives from 250 to 300 Republican.

The first day of Circuit Court always brings a large crowd to town. The
patent medicine vender will be here with a pretty speech, and will
doubtless succeed in humbugging a number of our farmers. It seems very
strange to your correspondent that an honest farmer will walk up to a
patent medicine fakir and pay him a dollar for a bottle of stuff that is
perfectly useless when he gets releif at a neighboring drugstore for ten
cents.

GREENSBURG

With kind wishes for the success of the your paper, we ask space in your
columns for some Green County news.

Circuit Court begins at this place next Monday.

The farmers are still buying fertilizer and sowing "dollar" wheat.

R.L DURHAM has just returned from Pulaski and casey counties where he
delivered some nursery stock.

JOHN A. HOBSON, one of our leading merchants is erecting a very elegant
and spacious business house adjoining the bank lot.

The election is over and the democrats can hardly beleive they are yet
in Green county, and from the deportment of the Republicans they think
they have changed counties. The thinking men of this county at first
thought maybe there was some virtue in McKINLEYS "dollar Wheat" boom,
but when they seen it topple from that price they decided that there was
a trick in McKINLEY, or else he had nothing to do with the price of
wheat. The colored man got balky in this county. He could neither be led
nor pushed. He reasoned that if the Republicans freed him away back in
the sixties, as they claimed, he was free now and that he would vote as
he pleased, and did vote as he pleased.

and TOM WHITE.

There was a report in circulation during the county canvas to the effect
that S.H. MITCHELL, the jailer of the county, had received in fees
during his term largely more than was due him. Of course this report was
erroneous, as the statetes fixes the fees of this county officers, and
they cannot draw more than is allowed them by law.

warrant for him, took up Greensburg street at a rapid gait, followed by
the officer who caught him in the suburbs, of the city and served his
papers. A small bond was required which POLLARD gave.

It is very annoying to a minister while speaking to a congregation, to
hear whispering going on all over the church, and it is passing strange
that some young people in this community will engage in this conduct. No
one likes to be publicly reproved and charitably disposed. The news
advises those who have acted unbecoming in church to quit such conduct
and grow to be good men and women.

NERVE SAVED HIM
"Shoot you like a dog if you move a muscle. " said the Lient to
Quantrell.

The Reckless and daring man given his worst scare at Danville, Ky

Current stories regarding the career of Quantrell, the noted guerilla
who harassed the union soldier, have resulted in bringing to light the
fact, that his most thrilling and probaly his most narrow escape from
death occurred in Danville. Quantrell made but one excursion through
this part of Kentucky, but it was a bold dash and he left a trail of
blood behind him,more than one federal soldier or sympathizer being
found with the Quantrell mark-- the bullet hole in the forehead just
between the eyebrows.
On the day of Quantrell"s close call he had arrived in Danville from
Hustonville, Lincoln County. At Hustonville he had halted to lay in a
fresh stock of horseflesh, and there some of his band had murdered a
union officer. A woman who had been at Hustonville preceded the
guerillas to Danville, and when Quantrell reached the city, she
recognized him and spoke to him, calling him by name. Quantrell simply
smiled and said to her: "Why , madam, you were never more mistaken in
your life. I am Capt.---of the Federal Army."
Quantrell and all of his men were attired in Federal uniforms, and were
posing as federal scouts. They halted in Danville, and as federal
soilders were in the habit of passing in and out of towns in small
squads, no particular attention was paid to the guerrillas untill they
had been in town five or six hours. The woman who had accosted Quantrell

upon his arrival beleived he had deceived her, and she told a young
federal lieutenant then in town, what she thought about the men who had
arrived that morning. Quantrell and his men were going about town pretty

much as they pleased , lounging around the hotels and salons, feeling
perfect security. The lieutenant, from the description furnished by the
woman and from what he had heard of Quantrell was convinced that the
fine looking fellow masqueradling in federal clothing was none other
than the guerrilla and determined to kill or capture him.
The lieutenant procured a carbine and started upon a hunt for this man.
He finally caught sight of him walking down the main street of the town,

Quantrell was alone. He walked the length of several squares down one
side of the street and started up the other side, the lieutenant with
the carbine in his wake all the time, waiting for an opportunity to
corner his man. About the middle of the main square Quantrell entered a
saloon, and called for a drink.
Just as Quantrell reached over the bar railing to take up a glass, he
glanced into the big mirror against the wall and noticed the federal
lieutenant entering with carbine ready to fire.Quantrell very cooly set
the glass down, turned about and faced his pursurer. The carbine had by
this time been brought to the lieutenant"s shoulder, its muzzle was
within three feet of the guerrilla"s breast, and the eye which looked
down the shining barrel was keen and cool. Quantrell dared not make a
false move, and he was powerless to protect himself by force. His heavy
overcoat was buttoned up to his chin, making the pistols at his waist
useless. He gazed at the lieutenant, very complacently for a brief
period, smiled and said,
" How now, comrade, what are you going to do with that gun?"
" Shoot you like a dog if you move a muscle, " was the reply. " You aree

Quantrell. You have played it for a long time, but now you are my
prisoner, march into that room over there."
Quantrell glanced to an open door at the end of the bar, but didn"t obey

the command. It was not his intention to do so. His nerve was superb and

his self possession complete.
"Ah, I see, he remarked quietly, " You take me for Quantrell, but you
are wrong I assure you. My resemblance to that scoundrel has been most
provoking. Permit me to call my orderly sergeant and I will show you
that I am as true to the union as you are. He has my papers.
The lieutenant looked surprised as well as somewhat confused, and
Quantrell noticed his discomfort. This was a signal for the deception to

be redoubled, and so he continued.
" I have also heard about the guerrilla being in this section. to my
certain knowledge he is not in Kentucky, and you are simply making a
fool of yourself. Put down your gun and as long as we are in the same
cause let us be friends.
The lieutenant was completely nonplused at Quantrell"s cool effrontry
and considerably abashed told him to call his orderly, but kept the
carbine ready to fire. On the street not far away Quantrell saw some of
his men talking and he called to one of them to enter. The man went into
the saloon and as soon as he saw his chief covered with a carbine drew a
heavy weapon.
"Stop," shouted Quantrell. " Not so fast. Put up your pistol. Our friend
here has heard that I am Quantrell. It"s amusing. Show him our papers
from the secretary of war. In order that this embarrassment may be
removed.
" All right, captain," was the reply, the man began feeling in an inside
pocket for the papers, still holding his revolver, how ever in his right
hand. He approached the lieutenant as he started to withdraw his hand
from his coat, but instead of bringing out the papers he suddenly and
with the ferocity of a wildcat, sprang upon the young federal, felled
him to the floor and held him fast, with the muzzle of his gun against
his head, as he cried.
"These are the papers you are looking for. We always have them on hand
for such as you. Must I give him the old mark Captain?"
"No, let the gentleman up, " replied Quantrell.
The lieutenant arose and was disarmed, and expressed himself as very
well satisfied with the papers. Then the trio took a drink together. As
Quantrell and the lieutenant continued the conversation the other
guerrilla quietly slipped out, passed the word, and in ten minutes more
Quantrell's horse was standing in front of the bar-room ready for him to
mount. He shook hands with the man who had given him the worst scare of
his life, left the saloon and rode away. Before the lieutenant could
collect his thought Quantrell and his band were far on their road to
Louisville,
