Former County Judge James EEargis, for many years member of the Stat Democratic Executive Committee, accused of com plicity in mony killings and a promi nent figure in the feuds which have disrupted Breathitt county for several years, Was shot and instantly killed in his general store here yesterday after noon, by his son, Beacher Hargis. The son fired five shots in rapid succession at his father, who tell dead while his cleiks were waiting on customers. The exact cause of the murder has not been learned, but it is supposed to have been the result of differences which have existed between father and son for some time. The two men are reported to have had a severe quarrel several nights ago, .when the father, it is al leged, was compelled to resort to viol ence to restrain his son. Young Hargis, it is satd, had been drinking heavily of late. He came into the store and was apparently under the influ ence of liquor, Judge Hargis, it is said, spoke to his son about drinking and a ' quarrel resulted. Father and son stepped behind a counter when the son, after a few minutes conversation, drew a revolver and fired five shots. Four took effect, Judge Hargis falling dead. The young lady stenographer and the customers in the store fled in fright. Young Hargis was arrested and placed in jail. He was raving like a maniao and the officers were compelled to drag him to jail. Old man Hargis was credited, as the learder of cne feudist side, with having "Raised more Hell than any other man in Kentucky." being actually con cerned in a half dozen murders. His awful death is believed by many to be" retributive vengeance on the part of providence. "Who so sheddeth man's blood," is quoted against him by hiscritics. He will be buried in a $1,500 coffin, which he himself selected some time ago. . ELECTION MOTIG For Special School Tax In Pre scribed District in Fork Town ship, Wayne County.
