***Barbour-Hagan
The old trouble between John R. T.
Barbour and Francis J. Hagan was
renewed at Huber yesterday
afternoon. Hagan is now at the Gray
Street Infirmary, in Louisville, with
two bullet wounds, one of which will
probably prove fatal. One bullet
shattered the left wrist, the other
struck the upper edge of the left hip
bone and passed through the
intestines, piercing them eight times.
It is hard to get at the exact facts, but
all accounts agree substantially,
except as to the attitude of Hagan at
The Bullitt Pioneer, 1901-1909
Extracted from microfilm by Edith Blissett
the time the shooting began. Both
men came out from Louisville on the
Bardstown train, neither knowing of
the others presence. Hagan was in the
passenger coach and Barbour rode
out, as he frequently did, in the
baggage car. Hagan was with Samuel
Casseday, his uncle by marriage and
Sam Sam Casseday Jr. On alighting
from the train, they started for their
carriage. About the same time,
Barbour alighted from the baggage
car, and the shooting began.
At the sound of the shots, Mr.
Casseday turned, picked up a rock
and struck Barbour on the neck,
knocking him down. He then
threatened to shoot Mr. Casseday,
who picked up another rock and
replied "shoot".
Immediately after the shooting, the
wounded man was taken to the home
of Mr. Samuel Casseday, and then to
Louisville on the 6:30 train. The
operation was performed by Dr. H. B.
Grant, who says there is a very slight
hope of recovery.
Barbour went at once to the telephone
and notified Jailer Jones to come out
and arrest him. After being arrested at
Barbour's request, he was taken to
Louisville to arrange some business
matters and attention for the wound
inflicted by the stone thrown by Mr.
Casseday. They then left Louisville,
arrived here about 3 a.m. and went
before Judge Daniel, who fixed the
bond at $5,000.00, which was signed
by John Linn, and the examining trial
set for next Monday.
Barbour claims that as they met,
Hagan shifted a grip to this left hand,
and put his right hand to his hip as if
to draw a pistol, upon which he began
to shoot. One the other hand, Hagan's
friends claim that he was not armed at
all.
