Exchange Thirty Shots and Cause .,
Panic Among the Guests, Who
Fled Through Windows
ONE MAN INSTANTLY KILLED
TWO OTHERS FATALLY AND ONE Sc.
RIOUsLY WOUNDED.
Feud That Had It's Origin I'm n Mar
riaGe, and Has Caused Several
Deaths and Much Bitterness.

MADISONVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 1s.-The
Howard-McGee feud had a dramatic and
tragic climax to-day, in which one man
was killed, two others fatally and one
seriously wounded. Monroe county, the
home of the Howards and McGees, has
been expecting to-day's events for two
years. To-day at noon Charles Jones and
his brother Joshua entered the Clew Hotel
dining room. which was filled with guests.
and took seats at a table. A moment
later, Calvin and Tom Howard entered the
room and met the Jones brothers face to
face. In an instant revolvers were drawn
by the four men and about thirty shots
were fired in quick succession, the terrified
guests making their exit from the room
by way of doors and windows.
When the firing ceased Charles Jones
was found dead on the floor with two bull
let wounds in his heart and three in his
head; Joshua Jones and Calvin Howard
were mortally wounded and unconscious,
and Tom Howard. the only one Of the quar-
tet left on his feet, had number OF bull
let wounds in his body.
Two years ago Tom Howard married a
member Of the MCGEE family despite the
strenuous opposition OF the McGees A
few days later two brothers of Mrs Tom
Howard went to Toms house. and, calling
him to the door, began firing upon him.
Two Of Toms brothers. Ernest and VIII
Howard, and George Morrow joined in the
fusillade, and all three were shot and killed
by the McGees. That was the beginning of
the feud, since which time it has devel-
oped and grown with intense bitterness
The McGees were arrested for the killing
OF Ernest and Will Howard, and Morrow
and their sister, Mrs. Tom Howard, re-
naming true to her husband, testified
against them. The final trial OF the Nc
Gees was set for to-day at Madisonville.
the county seat Of Monroe county, and
trouble was not unexpected. However, the
fight with its fatal results in the Clew
House is believed to be the consequence
Of an unexpected meeting. but no time was
lost in beginning hostilities when the men
came face to face. The Jones boys are
brothers-in-law OF the McGees and they. as
well as the McGees and Howards. are
among the best known people in the
county.

CLEVELAND. Sept. 1S.-Grand Chief P.
NJ. Arthur, of the Brotherhood OF Locomo-
tive Engineers said. to-day, he did not
think it likely that the engineers would
refuse to haul anthracite coal mined by
nonunion miners. 'The strike if il con-
tinues, will undoubtedly soon result in
many railroad men being thrown out of
employment" said Mr.. Arthur This will,
of course, lead to dissatisfaction and un-
rest among them. Under such conditions
the engineers might become involved in
the strike. But it is not probable

The London morning papers have little
but praise for what is called Germany's 5
Admirable note" the Times going so far
as to wish that the credit for making such
. proposal belonged 10 Great Britain. The
Morning Post alone. in a cogent and we'll
reasoned editorial. points out grave OBJ
lection. namely. that IL the real authors
and instigators OF the uprising should
prove to be identical with the personnel of
the Chinese government. 1t can hardly be
expected that they will deliver themselves
up. and that II the Chinese government
should be designated as guilty II would

quest of China or revolution producing

Morning Post. ''the powers should care

received a strongly worded cablegram from
Lord Salisbury. declaring that the British
government would insist on the return
OF Emperor Kwang Hsu TO Pelking as an

Salisbury informed Earl Ii that the allies
