THREE DEAD; MANY WOUNDED.
Kentucky Feud on Larger Scale in
AooSier VILLAGE,

f1OOSIeT VIi'a9e.
Bryantsville, Ind, June 15.-Three
are dead and two wounded, one fatal
ly as the result of a duel fought On
the streets Of this village yesterday.
The fight is the elimination OF a
feud between the Rout and Tow faml'
lies. which has existed for several
years. The Routs reside at Bedford,
eight miles east of Bryantsville and
the Tow boys are farmers near here.
The latter are relatives of the Tow
family which participated in the motor
bloody record for Lawrence county
and southern Indiana.
A free gravel road election was be-
ing held yesterday and the little viii
lage of 800 wins crowded.
Farmers from the surrounding coun-
try gathered and there had been con-
siderable drinking. When the two
Rout brothers drove into town the
Tow boys were standing near each
other in the crowd around the cleo.
ton booth. AS the Rout boys drove
past it was whispered through the
crowd at once that trouble would fol-
low.
Two weeks ago at street fair the
hostility between the two families had
been aggravated by a fancied insult
to Rout over a woman who favored
one of the Tow boys. Hostilities were
averted at the time. Yesterday the
Rout brothers openly announced on
their arrival here that they had come
to "even things up"
Within five minutes from the time
the Rout brothers arrived in town
they were seen approaching the booth.
The Tow brothers drew together and
after whispered conversation of a
few seconds stood about ten feet apart
awaiting the arrival of the Routs.
There was dispute as to whether
there were any words before the
shooting began and it is in doubt
as to who fired the first shot Each
of the five men drew a revolver and
advanced, all firing. The men were
not fifteen feet apart when the firing
ceased and on the ground three lay
dead, one dying with a bullet through
his neck and one still stood with a
bullet wound through his arm and
one in his side.
The crowd had scattered hastily
when the shooting began and none of
the bystanders were struck, although
over Is shots were fired. The injured
were taken to a store and their
wounds were dressed. The excite.
ment is intense.
