A Bltoody Feud in Kentucky. LrxiNoros, Ky., June 22.-Informa tion has been received by the Transcript3 of another battle in Rowan county, which occurred this morning at 9 o'clock. In this fight Craig Tolliver, the despera do who lorded it over that sectioni, was killed. It is said that a large party of men, ostensibly led by Dr. Logan, whose I two sons were murdered in cold blood: by the Tolliver men about two weeks ago, and who was in jail in this city at' the time of the tragedy, had organized a band of regulators for the purpose of I ridding the county of the desperadoes. The rumors of this band being in the < neighborhood of Morehead have beeni frequent. This morning, a little after I nine o'clock, the regulators being con eealedl in close proximity to Morehead, opened fire on Tolliver and some of his I gang who were on the streets. Tolliver i was killed in the engagement, and the fight assumed a bushwhacking character, men hiding behind houses and trees and shooting at any one that could be seen. Reports differ as to the number killed; one placing the number at five, includ ing Tolliver. and another stating that Craig Tolliver, two of his brothers and thirteen others had been killed. There is great confusion in the telegraphic re 1 orts coming, and accurate news is out of the question.

The artist paints steadily, every indi vidual being mainly occupied in perfeet ing his own work, thouch never he-itat ing to ask or extend aid in sonme spe'ilal direction. One artist, for instance. his an excellent figure of a mounted oilleer. all complete excepting the portrait, a photograph for which is pinned to the canvas. While this artist goes to strengthen a lie of battle, another one will rapidly paint an admirable portrait for the incoimplete figure. Soon, another brush is busy with the horse, while another artist calls for some spec ial saddle and bridle to be brought to the platform that he may paint the trap pings. Now. look at the back of the photo graph which is pinned to the canvas a faded carte de isit of a vounz one-fr, upon a slip of pa1per we r.ad the folow ing: "Col. K.. now on General Simri dan's staff, H 47" (meanin-r sector' H. square 47 of the panoram) ) renca :ap, blouse, captain's straps-staiff dark-blue trousers, gold cord, car airv boots, staff sword, McC'eliln saddle; shabrack-black horse; see sketch. This instance will give 'a idhea of the way in which facts are pre~served when a panorama is painted by artists who conscientiously strive to make of the work a great historical painting.-Theo dore R. Davis in St. Sicholas. THE GRAND JURY at Denver, Colorado, has recently found indictments against the sheriff and four of his deputies for malfeasance in office. The charges upon which the indictments are based show a systematic scheme of plunder that re minds us of the Tweed methods in New York. Bills for services never rendered, bills fictitious in nature, illegal in char acter and false as to fact were presented to the County Commissioners, sworn to by the sheriff or his deputies and paid' out of the county treasury. Bills for guards who never guarded anything and never got a cent of money were present ed and paid by the Commaissioners. Bills for service as bailiffs in court when no court was in session anid bills for a hun dred other things for which no service was rendered seem to have been sworn to, presented and collected by these in dicted officials. It is evident that the wild .West does not intend to get left by the effete East in the matter of munici pal corruption.
