Harlow and Col. 1'iaini He canie I'asl Friends, The fllasgow senatorial district, now represented by Senator E, V. Gillen walcrs, has been the scene of many political battles," said a former lvsl ilent of that section, "and once when Maj. Harlow, who represented the dls- trle t several times,-, was proescuting an active canvass that trouble in plen ty was furnished the speakers. It was some time -after, the -close of the war, anil race prejudice ran high. In Mon roe', one if tho-counties situated on the bonier, where the ravages of war had been most pronounced, liveel Col. John M. Fraim, a financier of whom it has been said that he would spec ulate on any thing from a hen and chickens to half a -county in Kansas, anil during Monroe he which Ceil. During the the major's canvass In made some statements to Fraim took exceptions, speech '"of the major Co!. Fraim disputed his utterance, but the matter was dropped and on the fol lowing day the speaking was to be helel at what is now the village of Fllppin, near the splendid estate of Col. Fraim. "Hefore reaching the appointment, Major' .. Harlow anticipating further trouble1, stopped at a country store and purchased a. huge ' butcher- knife, but Immediately altered his mind and requested the -merchant, who knew nothing of his intentions, to excuse, him from the bargain, and left the store empty handed. The house was crowded with mi'iiand women when Maj. Harlow, are; speak and al ker's desk sat most, against th Col. Fraim. Whim that portion of his obnoxious to Col. the major reached speech which 'was Fraim, he at once pronounced the major a liar. Unex pected to Fraim, Major Harlow stepped out of the stand, and, without utter ing a word, knockeel him down, and, following up his advantage, gave the colonel an unmerciful beating. The crowd, though composed of both Dem ocrats and Republicans, was wholly in sympathy with the ''major, and no In terference was offered until Col. Fraim suggestevl be was satisfied. Major Har low then resumed bis speech where he had left off, nn el concluded his canvass without further interruption. Some time later Col. Fraim sought Major Harlow and npoligized for the inter ruplion, mill during the remainder of their lives tho two men were devoted friends." Louisville Courier Journal. CIIAMPIOX FIKKT XH5HTER.
