ih the whole country being shaped on
the surface somewhat like a basin,
and the interior being far below the
sea level, the fact was obvious that
the heavy rains and floods of the win

coastranges, must settle somewhere

a bore was put in, with the result Of
obtaining a fair flow of brackish
water. The plan now in view is, with
sufficient machinery, to relch the
greater depths, where, it is believed,
there is an endless supply of fresh
water to be made available by means
of artesian wells.

Henry was a peaceful and industrious
citizen. One morning he was picking
cotton in his field when a shot from the
woods near by MORALLY wounded him.
He lived long enough to say that he
saw Tom Kinder shoot him.
Kinder got wind Of the statement
and when the officers went after him
he had disappeared. Soon after Mrs.
Hamp Tuggle began receiving anonymous
letters telling her to leave the parish
or her sons would be killed. They were
boys of nineteen and fifteen years. Her
husband, Hamp, had never been seen
since the murder Of John Ramsey.
Murray Tuggle, the younger son, was
shot In the leg one night as he was return
ing to the house from the stables. Afraid
to expose her elder son to the assassin
the mother mounted q plantation mule
and rode to Homer for a surgent ond off,

again refused to follow the trail.
Public indignation had another spasm
at this outrageous attack on a boy and

rails on the weakness OF the law.

nict. There are two local papers here
but, their editors have handled the inci'
dents of the feud IN a gingeriy manner
for fear, I suppose. OF getting charge
of shot or a warning 10 leave town. For
that reason nothing Is known OF II OUT
side Of Claiborne Parish. The parties
from ! cleaned the facts for this article
talked under their breaths and only on
condition that their names be kept secret.
They were actually afraid Of few rufiians
who perpetuate the vendetta. for their
blood IL hot and there's no telling what
they would do.
Indeed things have come 10 sorry
pass In Homer, the pretty parish seat OF
Claiborne these late years. Long before
the war II was a rich town and the plan
tatiors around II were well kept ana
prosperous. The master and mistress
were highly respectable people with
big mansions and pretty daughters and
a courtiy hositality. But now there Is
nothing but ruins TO remind one OF the
old regime--the stately house half tum-
bied down with pigs on its veranda and
decay staring out OF its doors and win
dows. The ''po' white trash" are found
where the wealthy planter once flourish
ed and among them the feud began It's
sanguinary existence.
The Ramsey's and the Tuggle families
lived not far from Homer on the Tren-
ton road.
The TuggIe family cosisted OF Ave boys
and their mother. or the five boys Joe
was the most notorious character and to
his account is laid the origin OF the
fiend. He was striking In appearance,
more than six feet and well proportioned,
with rather handsome features. but was
daring and un scrupulous in his disposi-
tion. He lived In a house by himself
and first grossly offended the moral
sense of the community by openly keep
ing n oegro mistress. His reputation for
reckIessness and hot temper prevented
any interference until he suddenly took
a fancy 10 a young neice and brought
her to his house 10 supplant the negress.
Popular Indignation at such proceeding
was very strong but the girl evidently
loved her desperate husband. as attempts
were made to induce her to leave him
without success. Critical remarks came
10 the ears Of Joe in Connection with Billy
Maddax's name as their author.
Joe then took occasion TO quarrel with
Maddax about a dog. in which quarrel
John Ramsey sided with Maddax.
A few days later a drummer travelling
the Trenton road came upon a dead body
lying IN the road with a charge OF buck
shot in his back Investigation showed it
was the corpse OF Btty MdoHhA anu NHt't
he had been shot from an ambush Death

Hamp caught Bills pistol In his wounded
hand and held IL one side while he emp
tied his own into Bills breast. Eye wit

he began to fall and still poured bullets

Henry Tuggle got flesh wound from

made up for ruse by which to get BIZ

Ramsey wrung a statement from him
that Joe Tuggle had paid him fifty dol
lars to kin Billy Moddax. The author
tiles would not accept this as evidence
80 when Gadney sobered up he went
free and told Joe Tuggle all about his
interview with Ramsey.
Immediately after this Ramsey was
shot at from ambush and places where
someone had lain concealed were found
around his house. Men dressed as women
had been seen lurking near it. His negro
cook was given a powder by Joe Tuggle
and was paid TO put II in Ramsey's coffee
He reported all this to the officers but
got no assurance OF protection. Finding
this the case he determined to kill Joe
Tuggle on sight. Tuggle was in Homer
one Saturday afternoon and was just
starting home. When he approached the
east side OF the public square John Ram
gey stepped from a store with shot gun
calling, Look out joe" and fired at him.
Tuggle turned his horse and galloped back
across the square and fell with loud shot
IN his side. Ramsey pursued him on foot
firing several times but without further
effect.
Ramsey was caught by the officers and
Il equired three OF them 10 disarm him
His gun barrel was twisted and broken
In the struggle. He was jailed but was
instantly bailed out. Tuggle's wound was
not serious and he was web I'm few DAYS
Then II was hourly expected they would

During the parish fair Joe and his
