A FEUD of long standing between the
Ludling and Stubs families of Monroe,
La, eliminated on the 18th in the killing Of
Fred. Ludling, son Of Judge Ludling, FORM
erly Chief Justice of Louisiana, and the
wounding of Frank Dinkgrove, a cousin OF
young Ludling, and man named Mitch
enor, stubbs's manager. The ARRAY oc-
Cured on the Stubs place, where Ludling
and his cousin had gone to resent an injury
done by Stubbs's manager to some OF
Ludling's wagons which had been
driven on the place against his orders.
It seems that Dinkgrove and Mitchenor shot
each other; who shot Ludling is not posi-
lively known, as several persons were pres
ent and number of shots were fred. Lud-
ling's revolver was taken from his body with
all the cartridges intact, which is evidence
that he had no part in the shooting. Judge
Ludling was in Washington at the time of
| the sad affair, and Mr.. Stubs was not di-
rectly concerned in it.
