He headed a posse, placed the yonnr men ander arrest, and bad fans shot Thla bold act capped th climax of a career of crime, and It was determined tkst the outlawo bo aid be broarbt to justice. 'TbsTolllvert wsre In possession of Morehead, tb county seat of Rowan, and wbea they beard that a moTement for their arreat was on foot tbty prepared for defense, and signified their de- Usee of all law and law officers.

For soms days details of men tram ToUivsr. band bare Inspected erery train at the station, alio wins bo stranger to alight tatQ satisfied that be was neither a spy nor an sffleer. A few nights ago a train slowed np at lbs itstloa and one of the brakemea thoughtlessly jumped on the rough platform.

He found fchnesif lottantly co Tared by bait a dotes ssetter rifles. He eared bis life by throwing np hi hands and pleading for mercy. Bat this precaution oa the part of the Tolll- vsrtdid not prevent the execntlon of the well nurtured plans of Sheriff Hog. Armed with Tarrant from the Governor, tbia gentleman has for a week been perfecting plans to capture these satis. He organised a posse of 100 men, yieked for their known courage and coolness, a tnlotly armed them with Winchester rifles, trilled them Into bis Idea of bow they bad best proceed, and 'when erery thing was la readiness selected to-day at o'clock as the time for action.

Be bed little i saps taking either CraU or bis followers "aura hot "he was determined to exeouU bis waraats effectively. He chosa daylight as the Bs tor laying aiegs to tba town because It rtrve women and children a better opportunity to areid danger. In spite of TolUrer's watchfulness the BherUTs posee bad sorrounded Morehead tbia morning before the town knew it The outlaws Were alert, howeror, and ankltly stood to arms sbd sent deflaaea to tba offlonra fjbeCLff Hogg Soployed half bis mea la a olroia around the Uttle town, where they were protected br tno keary wood: with the otber halt be quickly etoeed in on tba desperate little band In the heart af the Tillage. Wbea. la bearing Sheriff Hogg called to loU'rer that be bad warranu for hie arrest, and eomaianded aim and hla Mrtr ta inmudw.

To this order Tollirer'e answer was a command tobie men to Are, and 12 Winchester rifle rang set la the moraine air. Sereral of tae posse were slishtly wounded, but qulokiy. In obedience to the BberlflT order, tbey be can to cloae In about TolUrer's little band. ToUirer ahot at eneof the poaae, who waa orosslng the railroad sear the water tank, about oQ yards east of ths Central Hotel, near which ToUirer was wandin. The man dodged behind a pile of hunker, and ToUirer.

bis three cousins, Bud and Jay ToUirer and Hiram Cooper, Immediately ran lata tbe hotel. The bouse was at once aur- rounded by the poeee, some of them getting tulle eloae on the south aide by reason of the awry growth of underbruab running up near Iks railroad. Others kept a Tory respectable SMtaaoe tor fear of the deadly guns which the ToUirer knew eo well how to handle. Then began a battle the like of which baa Berer bee a seen In Kentucky since the war. Tbe bw men cooped up la the hotel building refused to surrender, and at erery opportunity shot at taeir astailanta.

On the other band the poeee ware not Idle, and their rapidly repeating rifles reeked wlta clock-like regularity, the bullets burly riddling the bouse la which the TolU-tert had taku refuge. TEX IJUDlxa OCTLAW While this battle was going on the wild eat ex-sUetsent prerailed. The women and children tasaed to the railroad seeking that pro-btetlea there which seemed to be denied them at their homes. The cursing of tba men, yelling of th children, and crying and screaming of the wstoen formed a ooene of confosloa which is laniy witnessed more thaa onoa ta a lifetime. sst ors than an boar was the fight kept up la tttt style, when Craig ToUirer.

thinking hie teeltleu becoming Insecure, attempted to set to tte wootm from the rear of the hotel with Andy ToUirer. This foolhardy act cost Craig sis life, for Just as he and Andy suooeeded la rtttlni a bundred yarda from the bouae the toging party poured a reiruUr Volley Into Ja, lightly wounding Andy.

although ToUlver at tbat Una was not connected with It The Caderwood-Holbrook fend, HP 100 ss 1877. aad la which some 30 mea were killed on both aid ea, lncludlns; all the male of the Underwood family, was really tbe commencement of the war of fac-tlon i la Rpwaa County, which it ta hoped tbe death of ToUlver will now bring to a close. To understand thoroughly the Martin-Tom ver vea-detta it la, therefore. Important to have clear ideaot tbe Uaderwood-Holbrook war, for which Martin waa responsible. John Martin waa the eon ot a respectable Kentucky farmer, aad In 1878 waa County Clerk of Howen County and the proprietor of a store in Morehead.

He was doing well and was hirhlv respected until be feU Into bad company, took to gambling and finally lost hi etore. About the eame time be waa accused of faialf ylng the rec-orde of the Kowaa County Court, and on account of tbia charge he waa defeated wbea be appealed for a re-election. After tble Martin' downward career was rapid. la the Bprlng of 1877 be waa arrested la Maaon County charred with horse stealing, one of the most obnoxious of crimes la tbe State of Kentucky. He manajred to secure bail, however, and returned to Kowaa County.

Here be found tbat hla old friends bad deserted him, end he rented a small farm of old George Underwood, who lived in Olive HUL Just across the line, in Carter County. Martin, with bis young wire, went to Uve with Underwood In bis double log cabin, and for a time all went welL One morning, however. Squire Elijah Holbrook. Underwood's nearest neighbor, discovered that two of bis best horse were missis r. promptly fixed upon Martin and Jesse Underwood, tbe old man'a favorite eon, aa the tblevee, and aeouaed them of stealing theboraea.

When tbe charge wa made to old Underwood hi anawer was: "YouUel" Holbrook went away, and in any State but Kentucky that would have been the last of it, unless recourse was had to the law. As it proved, however, this wss but the begta-nlng of -one of the bloodiest feuds tbat ever disgraced the State. Holbrook gathered his friends tocether, ana an order waa Bent to Underwood that Martin must go or war would be declared. Martin's wife waa ill at ths time, and beside thla tb spirit of old Underwood rebelled at being treated In tbis cavalier faabion by a band of aelf-constliuted Judges. Hs defied his neighbor to begin the wsr, and Holbrook responded with alacrity.

A number or Underwood's suns were hot from ambush during the next year, and occasion ally on of Holbrook' men wa picked off by tbe Underwood boy. Finally old George's bouse wss so closely besieged tbat it waa thought prudent to aend Jesse, who was the main object of tbe attacking rarty a vengeance, away rrom tbe cabin, and one night he sneaked out and took to the bush. The country In that section is rough, rocky, and heavily timbered, and Jesse secreted'' himself during the day, occasionally venturing home at nlgbt to visit his father and secure a fresh Supply (if provisions, Banda ot armed men oa both side patrolled the country, and skirmishes and fights were frequent between tbe opposing parties. Tbe Governor ordered two bodies ot Btate troops to tbe scene to put an end to tbe dtetumanoe, but tbey failed to make peace between the two factions, and tbe war of extermination went on, Holbrook Insisted that Underwood and all hi friend abould leare tbe county, and Underwood continued to defy bis enemies. The double log cabin In which the old man was besieged Dually came to be known aa Port Underwood," and nobody who bad respect for hi Ure ventured near tbe place.

One nlgbt In 1880 old Underwood, believing tbe coast to be clear, ventured Into tbe yard for a load of wood. An ambusbed enemy took good aim and wounded tbe old man aeverely. News of this waa carried to Jease in bl hiding place, and tbe next night he made an attempt to visit hi father. Thla was undoubtedly precisely what tbe Holbrook people expected. Jee waa shot down Just as he reached the door He was dragged inside the "Fort" by the women, and died that night, his aged mother holding bis banda.

A wall of anguish went up from tbe grlet-atrickan women of tbe bouse, which waa answered by yeUa ot derision from tbe enemies without, and the firing ot a volley of shot guns. Notice were then posted on tbe trees warning people against approaching Fort Underwood under pain ot death, ana the women were let alone with their dead for a short time. They feared to leave the boaee to make arrangement for tbe funeral, and Indeed no undertaker would have dared to accent a. commission to bury tba dead man. So tbe body wa covered by a sheet, and the aged parents ana their mend watched It day and night, bemoaning the fate of their favorite son.

Four nights after the killing ot Jesse abend of masked men appeared at tbe door ot the bouae and demanded admittance. Old Underwood grasped bla shotgun and ataggered to hi feet detenu sued to cell hie life dearly, wounded aa he waa. Hla wife and tbe other women grasped hi arm and begged him to hear what tbe men had to any, and he- waa finally induced to Us ten to them. We hear that Jesae la dead," said the ringleader. and we want to learn If it Is true.

It he Is really dead we wlU go away aad there shall be no more Old Underwood waa prevailed on to paaa his arms out of tbe door and let the men enter. Ae they eame In ths old man was sitting on tbe bed beside bis dead sob, and hla little granddaughter was holding one of bis banda One ot.tbe men lifted np tbe sheet and Identified Jesse. All tried to disguise their voice, but Underwood recognised one of them, and called him by name. With an oath the betrayed ruffian raised his shotgun and emptied the contents of both barrels into the old man'a body. He feU forward into the arm ot bis granddaughter, and died without a groan, and the murderers, with a loud shout of exultation, left tbe house and disappeared.

Tbe aiega of -Fort Underwood" had been raised at last, but not until It Last defender had perished at the hands of his enemies. Hostilities were now suspended. The women of Underwood's family left this section ot Kentucky, snd Martin wsnt to Liking City, where he engaged in tb business of illicit distilling. He waa arrested several always managed to evade punishment, and he waa not prominently beard of again until when he aueceeded In becoming the central figure in another feud which has Just ended by the death ot ToUlver. In August.

184, a regular election for Sheriff was naia at Moreneed, and sol Bradley, a Demo- rrai. waa suot juanin. wno waa present at the time and waa a Republican, waa aocuaed of the murder, and a feud was at once begun. On one side were John Day. an sx-fiheriff; Bam Gooding, the defeated Democratic candidate, and Aivln and Jeff Bowling, all Democrats; on the other were Cook Humphreys, the newly elected Sheriff; Jsmee Cary, the Rowan County Clerk, and H.

M. Logan, a merchant, all Republican. The Democrat Insisted that Humphrey bad not beea elected and ebonld not eerve. while tbe Kepuuiican were determined tbat be ahould serve. Party feeUng ran high.

nntU ons dsy la December, 1884, wbea Floyd ToUlver, a friend of the defeated candidate, with aa acquaintance, appeared la Morehead. Meeting stAi-un, wno napnened in town, soma sharp words palesed, and Martin went on to Judge Vary's Hotel. ToUlver and hi friend followed, and a war of insults began, which waa ended by both ToUlver and Martin drawing their platoia. Martin tired first, killing ToUlver Instantly. AU tb witnesses agree tbat tbe killing was Justifiable.

He waa hurried off to Jail in Clark County for safe-keeping, and Craig TolUver, who now for tbe first time appeared oa the eccne, began the work of avenging hla brother. A new faction was formed, with Craig TolUver at tbe bead, and composed principally of Democrats, the Martin party being made up simvnsxnuNTsiyoi jupuBuoua Craig ToUlver and hi follower were anxlons to get bold of Martin aad lynch him. but there were difflcultle In the way ef securing their victim from Clark County, where the elUxene were peaceable and law-anidlog. In order to overcome tnta obstacle aa order waa forged, purporting to bo signed br the author! tira ot Kowaa County, for tbe delivery of Martin to the agents of Rowan County bearing tbe order. Tbia was presented at the Jail, aad the prisoner was turned over to the agents.

He waa handcuffed aad placed oa board a train bound for Morehead. At Fanners' Station, eevea nallea from Aloreneed. the ear was aoarded by mob. and a rattling flreot shotguns waa directed apparently at tbe poaae guarding the prisoner. baa the smoks cleared away It was found that nobody but Martin aad beea injured, bnt he was falrir riddled wlthaaot and waa dead.

Craig ToUlver had avenged hla brother br the dma of ale slayer, aad a vendetta had begua a bit tar la it nature aa that ol the Underwood and Hoi- i wss the original cause.

They bad two conference with tba Governor, the result of which was that aa agrtoemeat to keep tb peace waa signed by botbj sides.

He then secured warrants of tmat num. phrey and a number ot others and proceeded to Miss Martin's bouse. The intrepid Sue met them within a (few feet of her door. Well." she exolaimed, what is It "We want Cbok Humphrey," ToUlver answered. I MHe Isn't here." said Sua.

FIDEL11Y BANK FRA UDS. FRESH EVIDENCES OF CRIME BEING DAILT DISCOVERED." Cincinnati, Ohio. Jnna 22. Two days hare now passed since the closing of tb Fidelity Bank without any failure la business occurring exoept those of E.

L. Harper, th Vice-Pres ident, and the Iron firm with which be was connected. Ssrcral small firms were expected to tail yesterdsy, but did not, and to-day there wss a report that a strong house was In a bad way. Tbe fear now Is that firms which hsrs been losers through the Fidelity may be unable on that account to take up paper maturing a week or a month henoe. and for that reason th uncertainty will be long strung one mere nss oeea strong taia to-day against Briggs Swift, the President of the FldeUty, aad several of its Directors.

The belief Is tbat they are criminally responsible for what has occurred. Harper. Baldwin, and Hopkins went from the Third Jf atlonal to the Fidelity. Harper, while In that bank, was In tbe habit of making a pencil memorandum on a small aUp of paper of $10,000, 825.000. or and npon these memorandums Baldwin and Hopkins would give him the amount desired and make no entry ot It In the books This prsctice.

together with a cbortaa-a of Bala win' for Harper made good, caused the retirement ot the three from that bank. Ths reason for their retirement was well known on Third-street at the time, yet they went immediately to the FldeUty and took tbe same positions there. One of the first things Bank Examiner Powell discovered wben he began his work on Monday at the FldeUty waa a drawer containing slips of paper representing amounts received by Harper at different times aggregating 91.000,000. These slips were all counted by Baldwin and Hopkins as cash. It is snub facts a these, added to tbe belief which everywhere existed that Harper was the big man In ths Chicago wheat deal, which account for the hostile sentiment which Is developing against President Swift sad bis Board of Director.

Some time sgo application wss msde by the FldeUty to the authorities in Washington for leave to increase iu capital stock from to S2.000.000. Tha annllomUnn waa rafnawd. To-day It developed tbat thla stock was issued. notwitnstanaing toe decision in acmngton. A smaU portion of it was taken by person who paid tor It, and tbe money thus received went Into the Chicago wheat.

They took receipt for certificates of stock, but much tbe greater part of this unauthorized stock waa Issued to Harper, wbo. paying nothing for It. used It ss collateral in borrowing for his Chicago deal. The cash in tbe FldeUty waa counted to-day. Tbe amount on hand was In round numbers.

$200,000. It is considered doubtful whether depositor will recelveanythjcg. Much thegrest-er part of the stock Is owned by men who are now Insolvent, and assessment against them on their liability will have no value. tockholder who are solvent will, it Is now stated, raaiit an assessment because of the fraudulent issue of stock above referred to. Bank Examiner PoweU to-day.

made discoveries which Justified him, under tbe advice ot Dia-trict Attorney Burnet and Assistants Bruce, to cause th arrest a second time of Messrs. Harper. Baldwin, and Hopkins.

Tb ab senca of thunder, bowvr. being rather Indicative of tha aver welcome heat no apprehensions ef any serious atmospherical disturbance were felt.

Shortly attar midnight storm indications war observed. Tb aides became covered with thick clonds and mutter ings ot thunder followed tb lightning flaabea which ware then vivid aad almost continuous.

For half aa hour this war ot ths elements continued aad fairly frightened tbe cttisens, many people going lata their oeUars for safety. Nothing la ths track could resist the force of the tornado, which swept from east to west, to north to south, aad by a cirealtoua path swept tbe city and surrounding country from almost every quarter. There were spots and aartww beltatbat enjoyed Immunity from the fearful force of tbe storm, but these were few, and the city this morning presented a desolate scene. The streets were almost blockaded with huge trees aad detached branches upturned and broken during the tornado, while signboards, awnings, window shutters, sections of root, and loose boards were sent whlrUng hither aad thither Ilka chaff. "House and barns aad vartoas buildings war leveled to th ground, and roots were eent adrift from half a hundred buildings and carried away.

Among the numerous casnalttes reported ther is a particularly ad and distressing Incident. One ot the first points to feel the tornado was a little hamlet known a Bancroft Banks. At ths base of a sharp hill as thl plae there stood a double frame house, two stories la height, occupied by James Noble and Gears Doraa aad their families, doe by thl house grew aa lm-mouse tree, which waa rooted up by the wind and hurled apon the root It crushed the bouse to splinter and the two tamUlea were buried in th ruin. Tb alarm was spread aad neighbors promptly eame to the rescue, but Mrs. George Doraa and ber aoa Frank, agsd 2 months, and Mrs.

James Noble were dead wbea the neighbors lifted tbam from the wrecked home. Another Infant son of Do ran' was buried In th debris with Its father, but they wer Just allrs when reached by the rescuing party.

James Noble waa trying to get to a place of safety and was coming down stairs wben tbe tree fell and killed bar Instantly. Mr. Noble and his tour children escaped with their 11 Tea. The dead are Mrs. Doraa.

Among tbe other casualties reported were the stunning of two men at New-Catl by tbe lightning snd several alight Injuries to occupants of damaged house. Iu thla etty and suburbs 17 buildings were totally destroyed by tne tornado and 38 were seriously damaged, while score lost chimneys and were otherwise damaged. Numberless sparrows were victims ot the tornado's fury, and In the parks numbers or dead birds could be picked np from beneath tha trees. A geetlemea who watched th storm brewing said that be saw a dark, funnel-shaped eloud In tbe southwaat. with a curiously shaped lowering eloud on either Bid.

Th tbre clouds Joined, and Instantly a great commotion ensued, the entire mass appearing to start away with a furious velocity. The damage to property can hardly be estimated at this time, but It wUl probably aggregate a very large amount. Fortunately the section occupied by th large Industrie wss not visited by tb tornado.
