the other desperate factional wars which
have made this section Of the state no.
torious has broken out in the southern
part Of this county. The scene isa wild,
mountainous locality known as South
America, and is about thirteen miles
from the nearest railway point Owing
TO the inaccessibility Of the place partic-
ttlars Of the fight are hard to obtain.
Three men have been killed since last
Saturday. Their names are Manuel
Parton, Lee Davis and viii Jones. The
| fight Ii between Berry Turner, a motor
lious outlaw and murderer, who has per-
haps killed more men than any other one
man who has ever terrorized this section,
with strong gang, and the Parton fac
ton. The Parton side Is strong one,
and claim to have the law on their side,
bnt so far they have had the hot end Of
the fight
| The Death Of Parton.
Parton was killed last Saturday. He
had essayed to capture Berry Turner,
dead Of alive, and posted himself at Q
convenient distance from q house In
which Turner was fortified with num-
Der Of his followers. It was probably
| Parton's intention to shoot Turner at
the first opportunity, but the latter had
too much cunning. The outlaw dis.
covered the whereabouts Of his would
be slayer, and at an unguarded moment
succeeded IN drawing bead ON the
latter and sent ball from his Win
chester crashing through Part0n's head.
The body Of Parton was allowed to lie
In the woods for four days, his friends
being afraid 70 attempt 70 rescue IL.
When it was finally taken away the
body had been partially devoured by
hogs.
Two More Partonites Killed.
| This murder only fired the Parton
| faction to more desperate warfare
against the Turner side, and on Wednes
day they made bold attempt to avengt
the death Of ono Of their men. The acl
was disastrous to the Partonites, as two
more Of their number were killed. Th'
Partonties had surrounded the 1urnel
stronghold, but instead Of taking til,
army were themselves taken In. They
were fired upon from the Turner house
and before they could realize that Their
presence had been discovered Lee Davii
and Bill Jones, two Of the leading men
OF the Parton faction, had been pierced
by bullets from the deadly Winchesters
More than hundred shots were ex.
changed, and some Of thaTurner faction
are said to have been wounded. There
is talk Of organizing a posse Of officers
from this county. and from Claiborne
county, Tenn, to attempt the capture 81
Turner, and d big fight will undoubtedly
