A FEUD IN WEST VIRGINIA
One Man Fatally and His Brother
Seriously Injured.

CENTREVILLE. ". Va. April 3-More
than one year ago Lee Perdue and Henry
Cyrus. wealthy farmers and neighbors,
cuarreled, which led to fight, in which
Cyrus was badly used up but finally recov-
cred. Both families had long string of
relatives, and since that time fights have
been of frequent occurrence and the feud
has become a bitter one. Sunday evening
Lee Perdue and his brother, EweIl Perdue.
were riding home from church. when they
met Albert and Arthur Cyrus, sons of
Henry, in the public highway. Both the
latter were armed. and without a word
opened fire on the Perdues. Lee Perdue
was we'll armed. but Ewell was not. In
probably less than a minute fifteen shots
had been fired. Early in the fray Ewell
Perdue fell from his horse, a bullet having
penetrated his abdomen.
Lee Perdue was shot in the left shoulder.
while another bullet penetrated his wrist.
The Cyrus boys ran as soon as their
weapons were exhausted, and have not yet
been captured. 1t is believed both were
injured but probably not seriously
No hopes are entertained for the recov-
cry of Ewell Perdue. He is thirty-ive
years old and a prominent Mason and Odd
Fellow. Owing to the feud of the past
year Lee Perdue had become tired of the
neighborhood and had not the tragedy OF
Sunday night occurred would have left
this week for the West, where he contem-
plated locating. This was generally known
in the locality, and it is believed that this

but have also been acquired or are now in
process of requirement. The commission
has thus far acquired about 9279 acres of
forest, seashore and river bank; and has
cared for and to some extent developed,
these reservations. There has also been
acquired the land for seventeen miles OF
parkways or boulevards, of which about
twelve miles have been constructed and
opened for use. These areas are increaS
ed by the lands held by the Metropolitan
Water Board in Middlesex Fells, and will
be increased still more by additional ac
quirements now being made.
The forests or woods reservations ag-
gregate 1882 acres. River reservations
on Charles, Neponset, and Mystic rivers
aggregate 1,771.S7 acres. Together with
the holdings of local boards, especially
of Cambridge. Waltham, Newton, and
Medford these requirements give public

The forest reservations have been devel-
oped to some extent by clearing off dead
wood, building paths and dirt roads and
administration buildings. These provide
some protection against fire. and reason

The policing of the reservations is mat

be safe in heir use and enjoyment OF

sufficient, while in the Fells and Blue Hills
a larger number are required.
