    3. Hazel Green Herald - March 31, 1898 B.D. Rose is getting up a petition asking the county judge to grant him license to sell whisky, at the next term of county court. S.J. Wells received a telephone message Monday, that his sister, Clay Rose's wife, was dead at Lee City, and he went to the burial that day. D.L. Tutt, of this creek, went to G.B. Williams' on Quicksand Breathitt county, Saturday and married Miss Cora Williams, whom he brought home Sunday. May their pathway be lovely. Howard Stamper, esq., was at the Stillwater bridge Saturday taking depositions in the case of Lydia A. McClure vs. Kelly McClure, who separated some time ago and are now lawing over their property and children, to be read in the Morgan circuit court, which convenes next week. Abraham Hollon was arrested on the charge of housebreaking by J.F. Samples and F.F. Cecil, a few nights ago, and the boys say they had a right scarey time of it for awhile with his brothers. But they finally succeeded in getting him to give bond for his appearance at next term of circuit court. The report that it rained 'brimstone' over here last week, is false. Sensible people will not believe any such stories. Hazel Green, the gem of the mountains can beat the world for pretty woman. But for ugly men and roguish cattle, Campton stands without a peer. Willie Asbury went to Toliver, Sunday, to see his best girl. She was assistant postmaster here under ex-postmaster G.T. Center, and none knew her but to love her, and none saw her but to praise. Tom Smith, J.T. William, Tom Stamper and Sam Faulkner were arraigned before police judge, J.H. Stamper, one day last week, charged with refusing to assist constable, H.C. Campbell, to arrest C.B. Lykins on a capias. They were defended by Stamper & Sewell and were acquitted. We want to say that all the boys in the debate, at the entertainment given by K.W.A. a short time ago, did well. Geo. Vaughn and Willie Tyler, who were on the negative, made good speeches, and a great many of the people who heard the debate said they were entitled to the decision. We have no feeling in the matter whatever. May 1897 The grand jury returned 45 indictments, mostly for misdemeanors. On last Tuesday the work of selecting a jury to try the Rose brothers for the murder of Jake Wireman begun. It was almost impossible to get a jury in the county, but one was finally selected, composed of the following gentlemen. A.C. Kash, W.H. Chambers, Robt. Taylor; J. Hollis Gibbs, Mace Gibbs, Noah Wyatt, Cy Cable, Oliver King, Lil Honaker, A.H. Lacy, Billy Hurst and Jack____. The defendents were represented by R. Byrd, J.C. Lykins, A.D. Lykins, Z.F. Hurst, C.O. Cardwell, G.B. Stamper, Ben Sewell, Rollin Kash and C.T. Byrd. While Hon. T. C. Cope acting for the ----wealth attorney and county _______. Howard Stamper championed the cause of the commonwealth. The case was given to the jury Saturday at 5 o'clock. Yesterday they reported that they could not possibly agree. The jury stood 8 for acquittal and 4 for conviction. Carole
