VICTIM OF A FEUD.
AGED CAPT. STRONG FOUND DEAD
IN THE ROAD.
Seven Bullets in His Body-Supposed
to Have Been Butchered by the
CaIlahans-Leaders of the Ken
lucky warriors Shook Hands q
Week AGO-His Friends Will
Avenge His Dcath-Nore Than
Fifty Murders Already.

CINCINNATI, May 9.-The Commercial
Tribune's special from Lexington, KY,
says:
Capt. Strong. leader of the faction that
bore his name in the Strong-Amos and
Strong-Callahan feuds. which have cost
more than fifty lives in Breathitt county,
was found on the roadside near his home
today shot to death. with seven bullets in
his body. Two weeks ago he met Ed Cal
lahan. leader of the opposing faction. In
Judge Days Office at jackson. where they
shook hands and declared the feud ended.
Strong was y years old and was cap
tain in the Federal army. After the war
the Amos family and their friends tried
to externlinate Strong and his friends.
They besieged Strong In his house three
days, when Strong's nephew. with dozen
other soldiers, came to his rescue.
A few nights afterward Strong and his
men met the Amos faction In an open
meadow in the moonlight. A fierce battle
ensued. in which one OF the Amos faction
was killed and several wounded. Only
one of Strong's men was wounded.
The Amos family removed 10 Kansas
after several more of their men were
killed. When the klu-Klux arose in
Breathitt county last year Capt. Strong
denounced them in unmeasured terms
and when IL was told to him that the Cal
lahans were the leaders he made war on
them. In this three men have been kill
ed and the authorities. realizing that
Breathitt county would furnish another
bloody mountain war, summoned the
leaders on both sides to appear before
County Judge Day. with the result that
peace was supposed to have been :e-
stored
Strong's friends will never rest until
his murder is avenged.
