P-JOOCE HARGIS shot: bead by BISSON r BREATHITT COUNTY, KY., TER ROR HAO REPROVED YOUNG MAN FOR ORINKING— RECENT LY SELECTED HIS COFFIN. JACKSON. Ky., Fab. 7.—Ex-County Judge James B. Hargis, the Breathitt I county terror, whose name has been associated with feuds and killings for many years, at last baa fallen a vic tim to the gun—ln the hands of bis own son. Beach Ht-rgls. The murder followed the reproval of young HargU by his father, for 1 drinking. The son fired five shots in rapid succession, while the clerks were waiting on customers In his father’s j store, and the old man tumbled over iu a heap. dead. Judge Hargis for many years was a member of the state Democratic ex ecutive committee. He had figured in in the courts In the mountains for years on account of the murders of j Dr. Cox, Attorney Marcum and “Jim” Cockrill. He was the political leader —;—the Democrats o t -the -Tenth- die- trlct, and the "boss" of Breathitt county. For years his away was not opposed, but some years ago Mr. Mar cum had the termerity to oppose Har gis In a law case. From that date Marcum eras a marked man. HargiS'Cockrill Feud. The Hargis-Cockrill feud, out of which grew the almost innumerable tragedies with which Judge Hargis name Is linked, had its inception in a political contest. In the fall of 1902 came the first murder In the feud, Dr. Cox, the guardian of the Cockrill boya, was the victifa. Dr. Cox lived on the outskirts of Jackson. He was called from his hofne one night to answer a professional call. As he entered his gate on the way home he was shot by assassins concealed acrosa the way. Afterwards John Smith, John Abner and others of the alleged Hargis band of assassins were ac cused of the crime, and In a confes sion made by one of them they as serted that Judge Hargis hired them to kill Dr. Cox. From this time on the story of the Hargis-Cockrill feud was written in blood. The next to fall was "Jim" Ccckrtll, the town marshal. But short ly after the murder of Cockrill, when interest had been mfldly aroused, James B. Marcum, the attorney for the Cockrill boya, created a tremendous sensation by going to Lexington and publicly declaring that he was a "marked man." and that he had been doomed to murder by the Hargis clan. Marcum Bhot Down. One morning In May, five years ago, Marcum went to the court house in Jackson to transact some business. He was standing at the door of the court house talking to Capt. Ewen when a shot rang out. Marcum stag gered from the steps and fell dying, but the assassin stepped up. and. to make sure, shot him again through the back of the head.’ The assassin was "Curt" Jett, the "wild dog." who has since confessed his part in this tragedy. Judge Hargis will be buried In a 11,500 casket which he himself pur chased about a month ago. WRITES UNDERTAKER; THEN TAKES POISON NEW YORK. Feb. 7.—Calmly facing the uncertainties of eternity.
