For number Of years past bitter feud
has existed between the Parkinson and
Ingram families, two OF the wealthiest,
largest and most widely known families Of
the county. The difficulty originated with
the predecessors Of the present generation,
growing ont OF long contested land suit,
involving q largo tract Of land lying In
what Ia now Cameron district, where
large number OF the descendants OF the
contestants still reside. About year ago
q fight occurred between some members oil
the respective families, the matter finally
fading its way into the courts. | don't
recollect how the matter was settled, but
shortly afterwards in July last, James
Parkinson's barn, containing Q large
amount Of grain, hay and farm
implements, was burned, evidently the
work Of On inCeudiary. A brother Of the
man who owned the barn informed the
writer at the time that they were satisfied
who the guilty parties were, or ct least
who the instigGtors OF the crime were, but
that they we're without sufficient evidence
to properly support their suspicious In
court. Shortly after the are young
man, who had been living In the neigh.
borhood for some time, and ] believe In
the employ oione Of the Ingrams, left the
county and was not heard from Tor some
time. l do not know whether he was sus'
pected Of being concerned In the burning
or NOT, Of the time. However this young
man whoes name is Josephus Barney,
wrote from ConnBllsYille, Pa, to friend
Of his living In the neighborhood Of the
IngEams and Parkinsons, aeking him
to come 10 Connellsville, that he
was anxious 10 see him. The gentleman
went 10 tia place, found Barney, and was
then informed by him that he could tell
who had set FIRE 10 PaTkinson's barn, and
that he would give the information 10
case be was assured no harm would result
to him for his participation 10 the affair
After securing . promise to this effect. he
stated that be had fred the barn, and that
be had been employed to do 80 BY Abram
and George Ingrsm, father and son.
Acting upon this information, the two
men were arrested and bound over by
Esquire Edwards, Of Washington district,
for their appearance 10 answer 10 an In.
diclment that might be found BY the
Grand Jury. They gave bail In the sum
Of $500 each, with Joseph LoudenSlsger,
Jr., as bondsman, aud were released. A
warrsnt was also issued for Barney, and
the gentleman to whom Barney made the
confession deputized TO 90 after him. Bar.
ney waived the preliminary Of q requisi:.
ton, and was brought here and committed
TO fall In default OF IS 900 bail.
Owing 10 the prominent position occt.
pied by the accused, crest deal Of excite.
ment was OCcaseioned in the neighborhood
by the charge and arrest. Xxx.
