THE HISTORY OP A FEUD.
Places, like persons, have characters
'.' . to keep or to lose. From the time be
yond which fireside tradition fades into
the less authentic record of legendary
tales, McNabb's cove had shared with
its scanty population the evil report of
a bad neighborhood. Topographically,
it is a mere gash m the side of Alurpny
mountain, with a few acres of arable
. land in the center shut in on three sides
by steep wooded hills, whose summits
are the cliffs of the mountain. Frac
tically inaccessible on three sides, en
trance by the fourth is scarcely less
difficult. A narrow wagon road winds
up the sharp ascent which measures
the height of the cove above the level of
Harmony valley; and besides thj6 there
are no means of ingress or egress for
v vehicles, and none for pedestrians save
such as are afforded by "two or three
rocky trails up the sides of the moun
tain.
The isolation of McXabb's cove had
much to do with its unsavory reputa
tion. For many years the Bynums,
whose log farmhouse of "two pens and
a passage" was the only human habita
: tion in the small valley, had acted as
.' go-between for the illicit distillers on
the ' mountain and their customers in
Harmony valley. In consequence of
this, the cove had been the scene of sev
eral encounters between the revenue
officers and the moonshiners; and al
though the Bynums had usually main
. : .1 l i,- iw..
. - - - . . . - . , ,
there was little doubt that they had al
ways given the secret aid to their
neighbors on the mountain. It was
during the life of Col. Latimer's father
- that the Bynums had first . brought
themselves within the pale of the law.
A revenue officer had climbed the steep
road leading to the cove one afternoon,
and tbo next morning his dead body
was found at the foot of the declivity
- with a bullet hole in the skull. Old
Squire Latimer was justice of the
peace at the time, and he was especial
ly active in pushing the inquiry whirh
finally fixed the crime upon one of the
Uynums. As the evidence was mostly
circumstantial, the murderers got on
with a life sentence; but' for the
squire's part in the prosecution the
Bynums declared war upon the Lati
mer family, instituting a series of per
secutions which culminated in the
burning of the manor-house in the val
ley. The ex-Virginian was a law-abiding
man, and, although there was lit
tle doubt as to the identity of his ene
mies, he refused to retaliate in kind.
With each fresh depredation he re
doubled his efforts to obtain proof
which cculd be produced in court; but
his persecuters were shrewd and crafty,
and he was never able to get conclusive
evidence against them. After the
burning of the manor-house the squire
built "The Laurels" on the plateau of
Murphy mountain; but he did not live
long to enjoy his new home. The
plateau farm was reached by a road
which climbs the face of the ascent
' from Tregarthen. Beyond the Lati
mer estate it skirts the brow of the
mountain, following the line of the
cnlts and doubling around the head of
McNabb's cove. One morning when
. the squire was riding along this road at
a point where it comes out upon the
edge 'of an abrupt precipice command
ing a view 01 tne cove, a
rifle-shot rang out, and the fright
ened horses galloped riderless back to
"The Laurels." When the searchers
found him a short time afterwards the
squire was quite dead; and before noon
John Bynum was in jail at Tregarthen,
-charged with the commission of the
crime. At this distance of time there
appears to be at least a reasonable
doubt of his guilt. He was seen in the
"village, and in fact was arrested there,
within two hours of the time when the
murder was committed; and while the
distance from the head of the cove to
, Tregarthen by the road leading past
The Laurels" is only three miles, it is
six by the way he must have gone to
, avoid meeting the searching party.
, This, and other facts, might have been
were unpopular and their feud with the
. Latimers was well known. The news
of the squire's death spread rapidly
through the valley during the day, and
at night an armed mob broke into the
' jail and secured the hapless prisoner,
who was hurried to the scene of the
murder and hanged to the nearest con
venient tree.
m With the death of John Bynum the
fp.llrl sannldprpd fm cfimTQ 1 rraa-wa TTIo
only brother, Jed, who was absent at
the time of the lynching, moved to
Texas a short time afterwards, and
there were left only the widow and her
ioor children on the small farm in the I
-cove. It is to be supposed that the I
"woman, who was a Bynum by blood as
-well as by marriage, did not fail to
leach her children the- catechism of

footsteps of their elders. ,
"Col. Latimer, the squire's son and
licir,' inherited little of the peace-loving
temper of his father. The first time he
. found his fences thrown down and the
cattle in his fields, he armed himself
with a heavy riding whip and went
about nursing his wrath till his oppor
tunity should arrive. Meeting Jeff

indignant colonel proceeded to mete

out to the younger man such a measure
of chastisement as he thought the case
demauded, paying for his satisfaction
a few days later with a broken arm,
shattered by the bullet of an ambushed
enemy. This incident was conducive
to another interval of peace, for two
reasons it taught the colonel that un
less he were willing to adopt the un
scrupulous tactics of his antagonists he
was likelj' f o lose his life in an unequal
contest; and the Bynums were re
strained from further immediate ag
gressions by a fear of some such conse
quences as had overtaken their father.
Col. Latimer was quite as popular in
his way as had been the squire; and
there had been ominous threats of an
other outburst of public indignation
after the breaking of the colonel's arm
threats which were loud enough to
cause the elder Bynum to disappear for
a time, rumor said in Texas.
The fire of enmity, however, was
never suffered to die. There were fit
ful bursts of flame from time to time,
and fresh fuel was added when the
sleepy village of Tregarthen awoke one
morning to find itself the headquarters
of the Tregarthen Coal & Iron com
pany. All of the conl and iron land on
the mountain belonged originally to
the Latimer estate, but the Bynums had
disputed with the colonel the owner
ship to one of the coal veins which
cropped out near the boundary of Mc
daub's cove. They were defeated in the
litigation that followed, and the old
feud lost none of its rancor by the de
cision of the courts. When its right to
the UcNabb vein had been established
the company had endeavored to open it,
but the overhanging stratum of sand
stone proved to be singularly intracta
able, and the further development of
the vein was postponed until such time
as the depth of the other workings
would make it less costly to timber the
Mc Nabb tunnel. Opinions varied as
to the cause of the difficulty in the
McNabb. Expert mining engineers
had declared that the sandstone form
ing the roof of the tunnel was . as
tenacious as that overlying the other
veins, and that there was no apparent
reason why it should require timber
ing; but the indubitable fact remained. '
While the work of development was in
progress, the miners frequently found
the labor of a week undone in a single
night by a caving of the roof which
filled the tunnel with broken rock.
Ludlow hail its own theory about these
mysterious accidents, but he kept it to
himself. It was suggested by the smell
of black powder which he detected
one morning when he was examining
the debris that had fallen during the
previous night. It struck him as be
ing curious, because he knew that the
miners were using dynamite ; and it led
to a series of casual inquiries among
the dwellers in Harmony Valley near
est to the eiftrance to McNabb's Cove,
The replies were not entirely convinc
ing, because the nocturnal poises heard
by tne valley folk might have been
nothing more than the concussion of
the falling rock; but Ludlow heard
enough to make him believe that when
it became necessary to take coal from
the ilcNabb vein a night-guard at the
tunnel would possibly avert disaster
more efficiently than the most elaborate
system of timbering.
It was during the' progress of the
law-suit that Jeff Bynum returned to
the farm in McNabb's Cove; and the
rumor which had pointed to Texas as
the objective of his migration was con
firmed by his own story of his wander
ings. Not contented, however, with
this tribute to its veracity, gossip again
busied itself with his affairs, and there
were vague hints of a lawless sojourn
in the Lone Star state, coupled with a
still more indefinite intimation that his
career in the west had terminated in
open crirne.
One other element of discord had
been added by the passing years to the
Latimer side of the feud, in the person
of the colonel's son Henry. The boy's
mother, to whose gentle influence the
fireside gossips of Tregarthen ascribe
the cessation of feudal strife during her
short life at "The Laurels," died while
Hester and Henry were children; and
the boy had early learned the lesson
of vindictiveness from tire lips of over
loyal servants. Uniting with a hasty
and imperious temper a contempt of
restraint curious in a descendant of the
conservative old Virginian, his rashness .
became a constant menace to the pre
carious truce existing between the two
families; and as Henry grew to man
hood, the colonel was often reluctant
ly compelled to take the side of peace
for the sake of setting an example be
fore his son." '
In the case of the daughter, educa
tion in a boarding-school, where she
had spent the greater portion of her
girlhood, and, later, association with
the Ludlows, had done much to modify
her childish ideas of feudal vengeance;
but she was still enough of a partisan
to be very warm in her defense of the
Latimer rights, and, in common with
her brother, she could never believe
that anything but ' vindictive malice
actuated the doings of the family in
McNabb's Cove.
"Don't you think you are a little in
clined to judge themharshly.my dear?"
Mrs. Ludlow bad once ventured to ask,"
when Hester had been expressing her
contempt for the Bynums and every
thing connected with them.
"No, ma'am, I'm not. If you knew
them as well as we do, you wouldn't
ask such a question."
"I don't know them at all, but from
what you tell me I gather that they are
poor and ignorant, and that they have
had much the worst of the fight all
along.' Can't you be a generous en
emy?" "They never give one a chance to be
generous. . You ve no idea how mean
they are. I've, heard old Aunt Betty
tell how mamma tried to make peace
when old Mrs. Bynum was sick. Mam
ma sent a basket of jellies and dainties
down to the cove, and the next morn
ing the basket and everything in it was
found on our doorstep, smashed into
bits."
"That was certainly vindictive and
childish. Still I think you might for-.
give even that."
"It isn't a question of forgiveness.
You don't understand, because you've
never been brought in contact with
such people. And as to their having
had the worst of it, there is a question
about that. They made poor Grand
father Latimer's life miserable, and I
shall always believe that John Bynum
killed him at last. Besides that, they've
always been annoying and worrying us
in ways that forbid retaliation because
we couldn't demean ourselves to pay
them back in their own coin. No, I
don't think they've had the worst of it."
To be continued.
ANOTHER PROMISE.

On Monday The Chronicle Publishing
Company wired to Senator Mitchell re
garding the $20,000 appropriation,
claimed to be due to Messrs. Day by
Capt. Fisk. In view of the conversation
held by Messrs. Mac Allister. Judge
Bradshaw and Capt Gray with Capt.
Fisk, a very unsatisfactory state of mind
resulted in the minds of tLe people in
regard to these appropriations. An
answer was received this morning. Fol
lowing is the text of both dispatches :

AN ALARMING STATEMENT
CONCERNING WOMEN.
HOW BAD HABITS ARB FORMED.
The New York Tribune savs : ' " The habit of
taking ' headache powders ' is increasing to an
alarming extent among a great numoer oi wo
men throughout the country. These powders as
their name indicates, are claimed by the manu
facturers to be a positive and speedy cure fos any
form of headache. In many cases their chief
ingredient is morphine, opium, cocaine or some
other equally injurious drug having a tendency
to deaden pain. The habit of taking them is
easily formed, but almost impossible to shake
off. Women usually begin taking them to re
lieve a raging headache and soon resort to the
powder to alleviate any little pain or ache they
mav be subjected to. and finallv like the mar.
; . .1 prune or opium fiend, get into the habit of taking
lie OI I hem regularly, imagining that they are in pain
u tney nappen to miss meir regular aose."
In nine cases out of ten, the trouble is
in the stomach and liver. Take a simple
laxative and liver tonic and remove the
offending matter which . deranges the
stomach and causes the headache. Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are composed
entirely of 'the " purest, - concentrated,
vegetable extracts. One Pellet is a
dose; sugar-coatedj easily swallowed;
once used, always tn favor. They posi
tively cure sick headache and remove
the disposition to it.- -Mr.
