Two Factions
Hill City. the county seat OF Gresham

small place. bat large enough to contain
a feud that for deep hate and wild fury
passes anything ever heard Of in the
wilds of Kentucky. The feud divides
the town into two factions that releni

must stand by the faction he has chosen.
The rival factions center each about q
leader who is rich. On the one side il
Pomeroy; on the other McGin.
The principal street of the town i
the line between the two. No Pom,
eroyite ventures into the territory OF
the McGillites. and no McGillite ever
crosses into the Pomeroy regions. Thia
main street is the frequent battle
ground, and many = fray has waged
there, with the town officers divided be-

bitterest pill the Ponleroy faction has

that the postmaster. o. B. Kikley, was 4
PoIneroy man.
All day long he had to breathe the Nc
Gill atmosphere. Only strong sense Of
dutF kept him from resigning. Other,
wise the salary would have been no in

as long as he could, and then he began

very stealthily got permission 10 move
the Office without anyone finding out
what he was doing. One morning when
the McGillites slept unguarded posse
of 30 Pomeroyites gathered in the
shadows OF the buildings ON the Pom
eroy side Of the street. At the signal
they swept down on the post Office, and
with ropes and rollers got it across the
way.
When the first McGillite came forth
in the morning he saw the post Office
seated across the way, looking as calm
and contented as If the Pomeroy side
Of the street had always been its home.
An hour later the McGillites marched
across the street, armed and prepared
TO bring the post Office back. On its
front door was an ofncial-loc<ing docu'
ment. The McGillites read the gov,
eminent order authorizing the change.
They saw that they were beaten. The
Porneroy faction gathered and fell 70
