WHITE EXPECTS TO DIE.

Sheriff of Clay County Bays He Will Purely Be Killed. John Feland, a prominent eastern Kentucky politician, says that while at Lexington he met and had a long talk with Beverly White, sheriff of Clay County, from whose house Tom Baker was assassinated while being guarded by the State troops. “Sheriff White told me,” said Feland, “that he knew his days on earth were numbered. He was confident that some of the Baker crowd would kill him just as soon as a good opportunity was presented. He added, however, that he was prepared for the worst and touched his belt, in which, he carried two huge Colt’s revolvers and abowie knife. White remarked that he might leave Clay County, but for the fact that all of his relatives and property are located there.”
