Half human and half horse, a
being 80 years old was discovered

eats grass like a horse. After much
persuasion the parents, after being
promised that the strange freak
would be well cared for and it's
parentage not disclosed, have made
arrangements with Lewiston part

Means and Ray Families In
Page County Threaten an
Armed Battle
TROUBLE OF LONG STANDING
Rays Hogs Got into Means Corn and
the Trouble Develops into Fued of
the Kentucky Variety-A Young
Woman Involved in the Hostilities-
General News.

Shenandoah, Sept. SC. E. Means
/ came UP from Riverton township for the
ostensible purpose of securing Win
! chester rifle and couple of revolvers
| to protect himself and family from
| Caleb Ray and son, whom he ac-
! cuses of attempting to shoot him ana
| to drive his sister-in law, Miss Anna :
bel Herzer, from his home. The tale is
one that reminds the nearer of the Ken
lucky feuds we read about.
According to Mr. Means, the trouble
started last year when Rays hogs
broke into Means corn repeatedly and
destroyed lot of corn. Means chased
them out with dogs and Ray took Of
Tense and struck Means and dislocated
his jaw Means had Ray arrested, but
County Attorney Norcutt dismissed the
case. There has been bad feeling be-
tween the two families from that time
to this.
A few weeks ago Miss Herzer was
riding horseback past the Ray place
when Rays dog ran out and scared the
horse, which threw the young lady off,
breaking two ribs and injuring her back
permanently. Miss Herzer thereupon
through Attorney G. 8. keenan,. brought
suit against Ray for $4,000 damages.
This has accentuated the feeling OF an
mostly. and according to Means story,
Ray set out to drive her out of the
country before the opening of court at
Sidney.
Mr.. Means father is old and feeble,
and he goes past the Ray place every
day to get the mall. Means says that
Ray has had a habit of coming out to
the road and making threats to the old
gentleman to make the young lady leave
the Means home. Monday noon the
trouble eliminated when young Means
accompanied his father for the mail
and expressed his mind freely to Ray.
The latter called for his son, Morris, to
bring a gun, and they followed Means
home, and reinforced by a neighbor
whose name Means did not give, stood
guard there at the door
Means says he had no firearms in the
house except an old gun that was prac-
tically worthless, but he got this and
went to the door once, when Ray cock
ed his gun and pointed it at him. and
he lodged back out of sight. They
stayed around until they exacted al
promise for the young lady to leave and
then went home. After this Means got
on his horse and came to Shenandoah to
arm himself and to swear out a war
rant for Rays arrest, but learned that
he would have to get the warrant in
Fremont county.
There are grave fears that this trou-
BILE may result in some shooting. as
both sides are evidently determined to|
stand upon what they consider their
rights. Ray is an old soldier and Means
young man rather under medium
size. The two farms adjoin. Means
father is 10 years old and an Adventist,
who travels around selling books and
doing missionary work. He thinks the
world is near the end and will be de-
stroyed within a few years.
