One of the darkest chapters In a
feud which for age. and bitterness Is
as noteworthy as any which have
jrlmsoned the soil of- Kentucky or of
California was wiitttn after midnight
Saturday when property .worth almost
fHHiO, belonging tohe widow of Fran
?Is Eelllnger and her five sons was de
jtroyed by en Incendiary.
Bloodhounds were put on the trail
of the perpetrator or perpetrators, but
too lung a time was permitted to elapst
r the firebug or firebugs Managed In
jome manner to cover their tracks,
.'or after following them for about
our miles. It Is said, the keen scented
brutes became .uncertain In their
movements and finally showed they
nad been baffled. .
Having Its Inception In the Hamil
ton creek country almost 20 years ago,
the remarkable feud leading to a long
series of outrages has now practically
developed Into guerilla -warfare. In
credible as It may seem, within 100
miles of Portland Is a large mountain
district where many .prominent char
acters go armed constantly In antici
pation of attack by their fellows;
.vhere men' usually carry rifles when
.oundlng up stock, visiting wood
camps or attending to business calling
them back Into the densely wooded
country or to points any distance from
their homes; where men and even
women sleep with revolvers under pll
ows or rifles or shotguns loaded with
buckshof within easy reach; where
he watchdog Is a necessary and im
portant possession, and where munj
barns are as carefully guarded arart
ranch houses after night lowers hei
jable curtain, i s
The series of "Incidents," as such
affairs are euphoniously termed bv
theee grim mountaineers, In whom
he sense of honor Is always a con
spicuous trait, Include shooting and
cutting scrapes, the burning of barns
ind sawmills, the -cow-hldlng of men
lenuded, stock rustling, the waylaying
and brutal beating of women and chil
dren, In which the wives of ranchers
inve uiltio figured as UKgie.vsors; the
Jutting of telephone wires, and othoi
uv-ints too numerous to mention.
Leading Kplrlts In this continual
lashing have' been the Pellinger boy?
Jasper, Grant, "Deb," and "Sheer."
I'helr brother. Nelson, hus never taken
part in any of the Imbroglios and hus
KucecHsrully escuped becoming an ob-
lect of the hutted of thei-nemles of
his relatives. Grant Hellineer mar
led Sarah FltxwnU-r, tho daughter of
"Old fmle Jimmy" Fltznater, and us
result the Fltwatcrs, who lire nu
rrous nnd cut a good sized figure in
Hamilton creek nffulrs, buve 1n cer
