FATHER SHOT Ifl BABY IN HIS 1 5 KENTUCKIAN THOUGHT THE LIT TLE ONE WOULD PROTECT HIM FROM HARM. RESULT OF MOUNTAIN FEUD Assassin Disregarded Unwritten Law Among Mountaineers That Feudists Must Not Endanger the Lives of Women or Children. Louisville.—A woman whose face bore lines of grief set on the patient expression of the mountain people, w alked through the corridors of the | federal building here, carrying in her j arms a beautiful two-year-old girl j whose baby head was crowned with a , tangle of golden curls. Many who stopped to pet the little one noticed a round hole in the front of her dress that went through three folds in a plait. The hole was brown around the edges, as though It might have been made by a hot poker_ In stead, it marked the course of a bullet, one that just three weeks ago took the life of the baby's father while be held her in his arms. The woman was Mrs. D. C. Moles, of Clinton county. She came to Louis ville to testify in the case of a man named Lee, who must answer in fed eral court to the charge of attempting to defraud tbe government out of tax on whisky, which he had made at his distillery in Clinton county. D. C. Moles was a witness in the case. He had to go to Albany. Ky., the county seat, for a preliminary bearing. Moles knew tbe danger that always exists in the mountains for the man who becomes a witness for Uncle Sam and the •Tevenuers," and when he started to Albany he was accom panied by his wife and little daughter. There is an unwritten law among the mountaineers that one shall not shoot his enemy when there is danger of hurting women or children. It is all right to lie in ambush and shoot an enemy in the back without giving him the slightest chance, but if there are Helen Moles and Her Mother. women or children within range the opportunity must be permitted to slip rather than run the risk of harming them. J. B. Marcum, who was one of the "marked men" in the Hargis-Cock rell feud at Jackson. Ky.. saved him self for months by walking around the streets with his baby in his arms. The assassins, in their confessions, afterward told of how they were thwarted time after time while they lay in wait for Marcum, because he carried the baby. One day he ven tured to the courthouse alone and was shot to death at the threshold. Moles thought he was safe as he strode along the road with his baby in his arms. But his fancied protec tion w as vain. Either Moles s ene mies were so vindictive that they did not care whether they harmed the ( child, or the marksman who hid in the bushes to kill him felt so sure of his aim that be did not regard it as a risk. At any rate, there was the crack of a nfle and the bullet tore through the httle dress of the baby and into Moles's body, not harming the child in the slightest, but piercing tbe fath er's heart. He fell dead in the road with the little one in his arms. Mrs. . Moies came to Louisville as a witness ! in place qi her husband. Spent S3.CC0 In Two Days. Sn Louis.—The prospect of inherit ing a third small fortune, to take the j place of the two which he has ; squandered in the last six months, is cheering Fred Gerke As he paced up and down the floor of a cell in a police station he was most emphatic In condemning his own folly, which, in the form of a two days’ taxicab and champagne celebra tion, had eaten up all but a few dol lars of *3.090 Last spring he received *2.200. but treated himself so stingily it lasted him for more than a month, although he paid a liveryman *10 for hauling him four blocks. POSED FOR STATUE THAT SHOCKED WASHIHBTON FOLK GREAT FURORE RAISED OVER MERE BIT OF SCULPTURED MARBLE. Washington. D. C.—It takes a good deal to shock Washington, but it got its shock all right. Major Sylvester, head of the police department, would not put pantalets on Venus or supply her with a sweater. But he did find it necessary to drape the marble nude which Mrs. A. C. Barney had shipped from Paris to her home in Washington which stood exposed to public view in the garden of her residence. It was not modesty alone which induced Sylvester to cover what is thought to be the counterfeit presentment of Mrs. Barney's daughter Natalie. Such I throngs had gathered to gaze at the marble and comment on it that the neighbors complained to the major and he sent two detectives to cover j Miss Natalie C. Barney. it with a tarpaulin. The picture is of Miss Barney, who is said to have posed for her sister's figure of the re clining beauty. When this statue was discovered in the Barney yard it was equal to the latest novelty in moving pictures for i attracting a crowd. The people of | Washington almost mobbed the Bar ney residence, and nearly tore down protecting fences in their efforts to get a clearer view of the nude figure. You would have thought It was the sale yard of a busted-up automobile firm if you would have noted and counted the swell automobiles lined up in front of the Barney residence, with their owners eagerly searching for the marble figure with opera glasses. Adjacent windows were fill ed with the same morbidly curious Taking it altogether there was a pret ty hot scene with the mob which the police were speedily called to quiet as it gathered about the Barney rest dence. The only explanation made of this display of uncommon art is that the marble is to decorate some portion of the interior of the Barney residence, and was so big it could not be taken through windows or doors and a spe cial opening would have to be made, and so the piece of sculpture was chucked down beside the garden fence until It could be gotten inside of the house. I CALF AND GOOSE ARE CHUMS Mount Vernon, N. Y., Animal Attempts Suicide When Fowl la Taken Sick. New Rochelle, N. Y.—No stranger affection ever existed than that be tween a calf and a goose, owned by Miss Hannah George, who lives on a little farm, near Mount Vernon. The friendship sprang up when Miss George sold her cow and the calf was turned Into a pasture where there were no bushes to brush away the flies. One day the goose, seeing a swarm of flies on the calf while It was lying down, caught and ate nearly every fly that was bcahering it. The calf was grateful for the attention and chased a dog that was in the habit of worrying the goose. Since then the goose has been the calf's constant companion, spending the entire day strutting around and jumping for the flies that light on the calf. When the goose is tired it will sit on the calf in the shade and watch for more flies. One day the goose was sick and was kept in a closed pen. The calf, miss ing its friend, would not be consoled and attempted to strangle itself with its rope. Miss George disentangled it just in time to save its life. OLD BEAR MAKES ’EM SCOOT — Hunters Find Vermont Woods Full 01 Fierce Beasts—Sportsmen Run When Pursued. Burlington, Vt.—The Vermont bear, which for years has been almost a curiosity, is fast returning to his old haunts, and today the woods of the Green Mountains are literally full of them. An example of the Vermont bruin s returning audacity is found In the experience of two hunters. Fred May and a friend were bunt ing small game near the banks of the Winooski river, when they suddenly came upon an old she bear and two cubs. As she showed fight May let fly at her with a charge of birdshot and took to his heels with the bear in close pursuit. As she was gaining rapidly on the men they discarded their guns, ammunition and haver sacks full of gray squirrels, thankful to escape with their lives. DEATH OF TOLSTOI NOTED AUTHORS ILLNESS RE SULTS FATALLY. DIES OF HEART FAILURE Repeated Attacks Give Several HourY Warning that the End Was not Far Off. Asupova. Russia-—Count Leo Tot stoi die*: peacefully here Sunday Mr Makovetsky and the other at tending physicians and Countess To! stoi were at his bedside when the end came. It was recognized long before that his case was hopeless and at 3 o'clock in the morning, after the countess had been summoned and other members of the family had gathered in an ad joining room. The physicians issued a bulletin announcing that the activity of the heart had almost ceased and that Tolstoi's condition was extremely dangerous Several of the physicians were greatly overcome by the approaching death of Russia's great writer. Tolstoi, accompanied only by Dr. Makovetsky. left his home at Yasna ya Poliana with the purpose of ending his days in solitude to which he more and more inclined in bis later years His pilgrimage led him to the monas tery at Skamardine in the province ol Kalguia. where he remained as the guest of his sister Marie, who is a nun in the cloister. Learning that his retreat had been discovered he insisted upon proceed ing on his journey to the Caucasus, where he hoped to spend his last days close to the Tolstoian colony on the shores of the Black sea. But on the railroad journey he was overcome with exhaustion and the cold and Dr Makovetsky was compelled to have him transferred to the flag station at Astapova. w here he was made as com fortable as possible in the rude wood en building. For five days he had lain there suffering first from bronchitis and later from inaf.mmation of the lungs. Specialists had been called but despite their utmost efforts the heart of the great Russian responded but feebly to the restoratives and stimulants administered. On Saturday the attacks of heart failure Increased ala: mingty and many hours prior to the «nd the physicians had given up all hopes Countess Tl«ti was admitted to the sick room for the first tame last night but her husband failed to recognise her. She had hastened to be beside him when she learned several days ago that his illness was serious, but the physicians had deemed it advisable that she he kept away from the count, fearing that her presence might causa the patient emotion. Other members of the family were from time to time admitted to the presence of their father and his daughter, Alexandria, has been in i constant attendance physicians in attendance said that Tolstoi was a splendid patient in ■ mind and body, except the heart.
