The train passed on and the authorities ordered the arrest of the crew at Richmond. The man had been In town during the early part of the day looking for work at his trade. The shooting seems to have been without provocation, as th? men were getting off the train as fr.st as they could.

The most remarkable instance of the mutual division' of a landed estate satisfactorily to a large number of heirs known to the probate of Clay county is that of Mrs. Catharine Tipton, near Clay City, who died a few months ago. There were eighteen heirs, the larger number of them minor ones, for whom guardians, had to bo appointed. The realty consisted of about 400 acres of improved and valuable land. The fim step taken was the appraisement of the land by disinterested parties, the appraised value being divided Into shares corresponding with the number of heirs. Then they proceeded to parcel out the land, which was amicably done, each one taking more than his share In value paying the exce?3 into a common fund, which was applied In equalizing those whose epportionment in value fell below the average share. By this means the inheritance was all divided out without the aid of the law and the courts at the sacrifice of a heavy per cent, to effect a settlement, as is usually the case. The husband and father died about war times leaving the widow fifty acres and a large family to support. Besides raising the family she accumulated 350 acres more. An Old Timer.
