THE CLOSE OF A VENDETTA
Death Takes the Last Participant in a
Kansas Feud.


BY the death Of Charles Vaughn, 1f-
teen miles south OF Cedarville, Kan,
| in the Usage reservation, the last sur
vivor of a feud which was fought along
tfle border with all the flerceness of a
Corsican vendetta for months was
wiped out The participants We're, on
/ the one hand, Jim and Charles Vaughn,
cowboys, who were cousins, and Tom
WILDER and Dennis Amos who ran a
| "joint" in Caney. Kan, in 1879 and
1880 and the feud began in this joint
in August, 1880, when Amos in a game
of poker beat Jim Vaughn out of $40.
Vaughn was by accident unarmed at
the time, but left, swearing that he
would return in three days and kill all
the Amoses. Accordingly Vaughn re-
turned to the ranch on which he was
working in the territory, procured a
brace of six shooters and on the APP
pointed day went back to Caney. The
I Amoses, barricaded in their joint and
armed with three double barreIed shot
guns. We're waiting for him Vaughn
hitched his horse and, pulling his six
shooters, began firing and walking
toward the Amos joint. The Amoses
replied with q broadside from their
shotguns and when the smoke cleared
away Vaughn lay in the street with his
body full of buckshot and Tom Amos
lay on the floor with his jaw shattered
by bullet. Blood poison set in and
four weeks later Amos was buried On
the other hand, Vaughn, who was
thought to have been MORALLY wounded.
to go to work again.
Vaughn was a crack shot and the
Amoses lived in constant terror of him
and after they found that he had got
ten well they swore out a warrant for
his arrest-which was an unusual pro-
ceeding in those days. A deputy
sheriff who was a warm friend of the
joint keeperTs, arrested Vaughn and
put the Amoses and one of their friends
on the force to guard him the night
after the arrest. During the night,
while the deputy slept, the Amoses
shot and killed. Vaughn. They claimed
that he had tried to escape. However,
three of the five shots which had
pierced the dead mans body were fired
after he had fallen-so the direction of
the bullets indicated.
The Amoses at that time did not
know of the existence of Charles
Vaughn, who was employed on a ranch
in Texas-and, after they had killed
Jim, settled down to quiet life. WILDER
remained in Caney and Dennis Amos,
with his young wife and child, located |
on farm just east of Cedarville. A !
friend of Jim Vaughn in the meantime |
notified Charles Vaughn of the manner |
In which his cousin had been killed, |
and Charles thereupon boarded the |
next train and went to Caney. He re-
manned quiet day and by inquiry |
learned of the whereabouts of the
Amoses. On the second day after his
arrival he met WILDER Amos in a drug
store, and walking up to him informed

We are often told that n man who is

to tell whether his cigar were alight or
no unless he could see the red glow AT

ter. In fact, | have smoked all my

To say that | do not know whether
my cigar is alight or no because | can
not see either the smoke or she red
glow at the end of the weed is simply
absurd. The taste alone is sufficient to
tell me accurately. The one is infinitely
pleasurable and favorable and the 9TH

tionable. Tongue, palate and odor are
incontrovertible testitiers. | grant that
the pleasure of smoking is lessened by
the absence of the sight of the smoke,

whether | am standing on my head or

will have large practical experience
