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

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.
During one of the heart attacks Tol
stoi was alone with his eldest daugh
ter, Tatina. He suddenly clutched
eer hand end drew her to him. He
seemed to be ehoking. but was able
;o whisper. "Now the end has come;
I :hat is all."
Tolstoi left a written note that he
je buried without romp, wreathes or
rites under "Poverty Oak" on a hll
ock at Yasnava Poliana. where he
| played as a child and where the peas
vnts were accustomed to congregate
The funeral will be held on Tuesday
