Leader in = Kentucky Feud Shot.

Capt VIM. Strong was killed near
jackson, KY, Sunday. He was shot
seven times from ambush. He was q
leader in the Strong Callahan feud in
Breathitt county, settlement of which
was agreed upon in the county court
three or four weeks ago. It is not
known who did the killing. The feuds
with which Capt. Strong has been iden-
tilted have cost more than fifty lives in
the county. Strong was 70 years old
and a captain in the Federal army.
After the war the Amos family and
their friends tried to exterminate
Strong and his friends. They besieg-
ed Strong in his house for three days,
when Strong's neighbors, with dozen
old soldiers, came to his rescue. A few
nights afterward Strong and his men
met the Amos faction in an open
meadow in the county. A fierce battle
ensued, which resulted in the death of
one Amos and the wounding of several
others. Only one of Strong's men was
wounded. The Amos family moved to
Kansas after several more of their men
were killed. When the Ku Klnx
ruled in Breathitt county, Cap
tain Strong denounced them in
unmeasured terms, and when it wss
told to him that the Galatians were the
leaders be made war on them. The
authorities realized that the county
would meet with another scandal sooner
or later, and had the leaders up before
Judge Day with the result that peace
was supposed to be restored. Strong's
