KENTUCKY FEUD THAT
GREW FROM A COURTSHIP
Three Lives Already Sacrificed and the
War Between Two Families Has
Only Just Begun.
There ha* broken out In t'orbin. Ky..
a real old fashioned feml. One with love
a* a beginning, sod bate, murder ami
death to an ending. In tbe very begin­
ning of It the first battle—two men
and a wouiau have been killed, one
house lias been blown up with dyna­
mite, another riddled with bullets, and
several people are In Jail cbarged with
murder. It is a feud which has every
prospect of loug Ilf, and Is marked with
all the wild paswions and semJ-savagery
which have *0 long characterized the
mountaineer* of Kentucky.
The story of the love of Rolla White
for Jane Shot wi ll would read much as
other love affair* w here tbe father of
the girl objected, were It not for the
fact of the peculiar temperament of the
mountain ¡teople, and their custom,
from time Immemorial, of taking the
law Into their own hands aud them
ridve* demanding and taking "an eye
for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.”
Nix year* ago the Whites moved to
t'orbin front their Vlrgtula home. Tbere
were th, three sons, two daughter*, and
the aged mother. The boys Bill. Rom h
ami Kolla established a restaurant and
atore In one purl of tbe town and a
hotel III the other. They lived 11* peace­
ful citizens until the present tragedy.
The Nltolwells have been residents of
t'orbin for about the same length of
time. Y'helr family home la at llock-
Itoltl. alMvut ten mile* away. The father.

one bright afternoon some mysterious

The other day the boy passed close
by the spot where Jim Shotwell wa*
sitting, his cltair tilted Beck against the
wall of the drug store. A quarrel fol­
lowed. How It began no one knows.
A passer-by beard the contemptuous
words. "You don't stand for nothin’ In

With flUHlted face aud uncontrollable
anger expressed In the flashing of his
eyes, tbe boy liuug back tbe answer.
"If you don't like me. you old scoun­
