DEFENDED HER HUSBAND, 2 Kentucky Woman Uses a Shotgun With Fatal Effect. Middlesboro, Ky., Jan. 28.—A| tragedy that oecurred near here early this morning had ita origin | Several months ago and tested the heroism of the mountain women of Kentucky. Whitecaps attempted to take Jim Jackson, a wellkoown mountain to chastise him. Mra. Jackson went to his res. cue with a double-barrelled shotgun with the result that one of the mask- ed men was killed outright and aa- other mortally wounded The story of the tragedy began last fall, when Jackson had a falling out with his neighbor, Will Wright, over some seed land, and, getting into an altercation, Jackson knocked Wright down. Since then they have been enemies and Wright hae made repeated threats against Jack son, it is said. Shortly before midvight last night several masked men, heavily armed, went to Jackson’s house, and, after battering down the door, dragged Jackson from his bed out into the yard and began beating him. They had not proceeded very far with their chastisement when his wife ap- peared with a shotgun and demand ed her husband's release. The white caps paid no attention to Mrs. Jack son, and she fired on them. One of the men fell dead and another was probably fatally wounded. The others fied. Investigation proved tbat the dead man was Wright. One of the whitecaps, is believed to be badly injured. The identity of the others has not been learned. The scene of trouble is on Waller’s creek, Harlan county. Mrs. Sackson has not yet been ar- rested, and the sentiment is strong in her behalf and it is doubtful if officers will be permitted to take her. TRACKED THE TRUANT. J. E.
