Another Killing in Union.

Another killing took place few days ago four miles west of Fl Dorado which is attributed to the Parnell-Tucker feud. The victim was Dallas Hunter and he was shot from ambush while riding along the public road. Hunter had just been acquitted by justice ef the charge of killing w. L, Lee last July, and was on his way to con- suit a relative about leaving the country, as he had been notified that his life was in danger. Hun ter had been deputy sheriff since last March and was friend to Guy Tucker, who killed John Par nell.
 The assassin stood behind tree, and at a distance of about thirty feet shot Hunter from his horse. A load of twelve buckshot struck him full in the back. Appearances indicated that the assassin had been there for twenty-four hours. If the assassination of Dallas Hunter and the murder of W. P, Lee on July 6 last are chargeable to the Tucker-P Parnell feud, this is the fifth violent death as the result of that feud With them as two of the victims, the complete death list Is as follows:
 October 9, 1902-Tom and Wal ter Parnell and Constable H. L. Dearing, killed in street fight in Ell Dorado.
 July 6, 1903-W. P. Lee assas- sinated near Lisbon.
 August 8, 1903-John F, Par nell killed by Guy B. Tucker.
 September 9, 19o3-Dallas Hun ter assassaniated.
 Earnest efforts have been made by the citizens of Fl Dorado and of Union county to prevent a 1ecur- renee of the troubles, and law and order league was organized by representative people for the pur-
  pose of bringing about peace and preventing law1essness. Although it cannot be asserted conclusively that the assassination of Hunter and Lee is traceable directly to the Tucker and Parnell troubles, each forms chapter in the series of trag- edies that have stirred Union coun- ty and aroused the citizens to or ganized action for law and order.

Peruna is such perfect specific for each

they can never be induced to quit it until
they are permanently cured. 1t begins to
relieve the disagreeable symptoms at once.
The backache ceases, the trembling knees
are strengthened, the appetite restored the
digestion made perfect, the dull headache
is stopped and the weakening drains are
gradually cured. These results certainly
follow course of treatment with Peruna.
