Hazard, Ky, Nov. 14.—The cir- cuit court convened last Monday, the 4th inst. Judge Lily, the regular judge, not being. absent the bar el ected Captain W. L. Hurst of Wolf to preside. There was a good crowd in attendance and everything started off serenely, with apparently nodanger of trouble between the George Eversole, the leader of the Eversole faction came into town Monday evening with fifteen armed men. But as most of them were un der bonds to appear at this term ot court nothing was thought of it. The Eversole party kept increasing innumbers until it reached thirty well armed men. There was only a few of the French party in town. It soon became apparent that there would be trouble. French was aware of the warlike preparations and placed himself with a strong force within easy reach of town, so as to be able to relieve bis friends in the event of trouble. Thursday evening Wesley Wut taker of the Eversole faction fired upon Henry Davidson; one of the French party, who was standing in the door of the jailor’s residence, a few yards from the court house. Whittaker had barricaded himself in a small log house on the opposite side of the street. David gon was soon joined by Tom and Bill Smith and others. Whittaker in the meantime had also been join ed by anumber of his friends, and alively fight ensued between the four men of the French party and the Eversoles. The court, which wasin session, stampeded. The fight lasted about fifteen minutes. When the smoke cleared away it was found that Ed. Campbell cf the Eversole party had been killed. This fight took place about four o'clock inthe evening. The parties rested on their arms until night, when the fight was re newed with increased fierceness. The French party had been reinfore- edby the Davidson boys, Jesse Martin, brother of E. C. Martin, who was killed by the Eversoles and others. B. E. French himself came into town about 12 o'clock with re- inforcements. At daybreak the fight raged with renewed fury. The Eversole party was stationed in the old court house and J. C. Eversole’s old fort. The French party occupied - what posi- tions they could find. But the main fight took place between Jesse Fields and Tom Smith, who occupied a strongly fortified position command- ing the enemy’s works, and they kept up a steady fire on the Ever- soles. The battle lasted about an hour, when the Eversole party beat ahasty retreat, fording ‘the river on foot and disappearing in the moun- tains on the other side, leaving their dead. Ed. Campbell and John Mc- Knight were killed and several were wounded on the Eversole side. Jesse Fields on the French side, receiyed a flesh wound in the arm. Court broke up without ceremo- ny, the judge leaving for home as quickly as possible. McElree’s WINE OF CARDUI for iemale diseases Statement of Rey. 'T. Ballinger.
