In a cell of the little jail here Heech Hargi's, who yesterday assassinated tys father Judge Hargis, is today raving, cursing his Maker, his whsikey-besotted brain making him practically an imbecile.

The coffin is here and today the lead ing feudist lies in it. Hargis's Career. Judge ll.ii gis had been on trial at various times for complicity in the murder of Marcum, "Jim" C'ockrill and Dr. Cox. but had been acquitted on all charges. He was recently forced to pay a Judgment of IS.OUO to Mrs. Marcum in connection with the death of her husband. Judge llaigis disposed of this, the last of the cases in which ho had been involved, when he paid the judgment of the court. Mrs. Marcum had sued Judge Hargis and others for $lM),ou.i alleging that they caused the death of her husbund. , The Hargis CockrlU feud had its in ception in a lKilUical ' contest. Thr llarglses had long been dominant In lireathitt county, where they conduct ed a general store, and a lumber busi ness and were generally active. The brothers, James, Alexander and Al bert were good business men and ac cumulated a fortune. The trouble with the Cockrllls arose when the latter opposed the Margis at the polls. Feeling was bitter, when one day Benjamin Hargis, a younger brother of Judge Hargis, met one of the Cockrill boys In a "blind tiger near Jackson and was killed by his enemy. In the fall of V.m Dr. Cox, the guardian of the Cockrill boys, wh.) lived on the outskirts of Jackson, was shot as lie entered his gate on his wuy home one nlglil by assassins con cealed across the way. John Smith John Abncr ami others of the alleged Hargl.s band, were accused of the crime, and in a confession made by one of them. Judge Hargis was charg ed with having hired them to kill Dr. Cox. From this time on the story of the Hargis-Coekrili feud was written in blood. T'h xt to fall was "Jim" Cockrill, the town marshal. Shortly alter the murder of Cock rill, James .M. Marcum, the attorney for the Cockrill hoys, created a tre mendous sensation by publicly de claring in Lexington that he was a "marked man" and that, he had been doomed to death by the Hargis clan. One momiim in May. five years ago Marcum was shot down while stand ing at the door of the court house a: Jackson talking to Captain Ewen. The assassin was "Curt" Jett, th" "wild dog." who has since confessed his part in this tragedy and who was accused of the o:her crimes. He and "Tom" White are now serving life sentences In the penitentiary. '''. ': :s r . r4 s. f : 1 MRS '""'leiinin and J I So f;ir , 1' ,:",M,V ai I "to transact. TEN PERSONS INJURED. .
