Political Feud Settled.
Republicans and Democrats Both Made Concessions and Peace
Prevails at Middlesboro, Ky. Middlesboro, Ky., July 5., -
A peace agreement was entered into here by the political
factions, whereby it was agreed to stop hostilities.
Recent outbreaks here have left the city in a turmoil
at all times, and the condition was getting very alarming.
Committees from each side met and an agreement was reached
which was satisfactory to all.

R.C.Ford is to resign as major, and W.H. Turner is to get
the place which the present council had declared vacant.
Turner and City Judge Bosworth are to get their salary,
which the city council had refused to pay.
These were concessions made by the democrats, while the
republicans agreed to have all the deputy sheriffs taken
off and to stop the prosecution of ex-Chief of
Police King, indicted for conspiracy to kill, and also to
use their influence in having the indictments against the
election offenders quashed. Both sides agree to use all
their moral force to help preserve law and order.
