ANOTHER KENTUCKY FEUD.
A Deadly Quarrel In the Mountain Regions
Knott County the Scene Of Strife.

CATIETTsBURG, KY. May 28-Intelligence
has just been received here Of an outbreak be-
tween the desperadoes of the new county of
Knott, which for its bloodthirstiness promises to
eclipse any in the annals of the State. The par
ties to the difficulty are Talt Hall On the one
side and Clabe Jones on the other, and each
Nave some thirty followers of the most desperate
men that inhabt the mountains. The origin Of
the trouble dates back to last March. at which
time man by the name OF Salyers was killed
on the head-waters of Beaver Greek. Jones
charged Hall with the murder, which caused
Hall, who had already killed two men, to de-
nounee Jones and declare the world was too
small for both of them to live in alive. Jones
was apprised of Halls movements and rallied
his forces, and the Jones party put the Hall
facticu on the defensive. The Hall party was
attae ked and driven into a house. and war was
waged in earnest, in which five men lost their
lives and several others were seriously injured.
The Hall party still fortified and the
house surrounded by Jones and his men. On
several occasions the Hall men have attempted
10 fight their way out, but have been driven
Jack. The greatest excitement prevails, and no
one living in the immediate neighborhood is al
lowed to pass near the house, while those living
in the vicinity are fleeing for safety. The Hall
phfey are unaoio 10 geC any aSslSLance Irofn the
outside, and it will be a matter of only short
time until Hall and his followers are exterminat-
ed. as the Jones men are determined gang, and
assert that none of them shall escape alive.
All parties concerned with the difficulty are
desperate men. which probably is the cause of
the civil authorities taking no steps to quel the
trouble. TO permanently settle the war it will
take the humiliation of one the ether of the
gangs. Should the authorities endeavor to pros
ecate, fresh trouble would again break out; SO
the world can see what deplorable state of af
fairs the mountain section of Kentucky is in
