Settling an Old Feud.

JUNCTION CITY, KS, April 8.-Yesterday
noon, as Tim O'Connor and his brother
Mike were driving along the road at Dry
Greek, 10 miles from here, they were
warned by Ernest Allen and others not to
cross a certain piece Of land belonging to
the school district. Not needing the warn
ing an attempt was made to stop them,
which did not succeed, and they passed
on. When returning later in the day the
O'Connors found a wire stretched across
the school district land to prevent their
passage, and five men, two named Allen
and three named Breen, we're stationed
there with shotguns and revolvers. Mike
O'Connor cut the wire, when Ernest Allen
shot and killed Tim O'Connor. Mike
then rushed at one of the Breens with an
ak and chopped his head, inficting mortal
wounds. The party then closed in on
Mike and broke a shotgun over his head,
disabling him. All the parties were ar
rested and jailed. The affair grew out of
an old feud between the Breens and
O'Connors.
A Terrible Tragedy.
NELLSflLLEs " Lei hPAA o'-AAo WAO
Of Orrin Farrell had four children, two
boys and two girls, aged respectively 8, 10,
IL and IA. This morning at 10 O'Clock,
Farrell being absent at work, the woman
sent the eldest boy to the store for gun
powder, saying she wanted him to shoot
some birds for her. On his return she
loaded an old rifle, and then calling the
four children together told them to stand
in line or single file. The children obeyed,
supposing the mother to be in fun and the
gun unloaded. Placing the muzzle Of the
weapon to the forehead of the first boy,
aged 8 years, she fired, intending
that the bullet should go through each
of their heads and kill them at one
shot. The ball passed through the brain
of the boy and lodged in the head of
his sister Immediately behind him. The
two other children ran away and gave the
alarm. The woman then reloaded the
rifle, put the muzzle to her own head, after
bracing it against the door, and pulled the
trigger with her toe. The neighbors ran
in to find the little boy dead, the girl, aged
IL, dying, and the mother on the floor,
with the brains oozing out Of a big hole in
her forehead. The latter died in two
hours. The domestic relations Of the
Farrels had always been pleasant, and the
only explanation of the woman's conduct
is that she must have suddenly become
insane.
Cincinnati Affairs.
CINCINNATI, April 8.-The Seventh Regi-
ment left the city this morning, and the
Jail is now protected by the militia and so
/ extra police, under Lieut.. Langdon in
r charge, with the Calling gun. The AS
sistant Sheriff and First Regiment of
Militia remain in readiness for a call. The
riot scare shows its effects on the sale Of
seats at auction for the Dramatic Festival
Association. A very small number of bid
: ders were present. Only about 100 seats
were sold during the hour. The sale was
continued in the forenoon, and premiums
3 began at $50, but fell SO that the average
was not more than So. Manager Miles
4 says he finds the people abroad actually
afraid to come to Cincinnati, for fear of
7 being shot, and he says no appearance of
safety seems sufficient to remove the fear
of danger.
