KILL WOMAN IN
KENTUCKY FEUD

LEXINGTON, Ky, Dec. "A feud
of long standing in which the Barnes
and Taylor families. two of the most
prominent in Laurel Couty, have been
opposing fastions, led to a fight near
Bunch postofice last night. William
Barnes. aged sixty years. and his
granddaughter, Mrs. Ellen Taylor, were
shot dead. Barnes was killed by Will
liam Tyree, while Mrs. Taylor was shot
by Robert Barnes, cousin Of the two
victims.
Tyree and Robert Barnes went to
the home of the elder Barnes and an
nounced that they had come TO kill him,
and just as the old man reached for
his gun Tyree opened fire on him with
fatal results. At this juncture his
granddaughter procured the weapon
and was in the act of shooting the slay-
er of her grandfather when Robert
Barnes used his gun with telling effect
on Mrs. Taylor.
AS soon as report of the double
murder reached London Deputy
Sheriff w. NJ. Scoville and an armed
posse went to the scene. but asccr-
tanned that both men had run TO the
hills OF Pulaski county, and so far they
have not been apprehended.
This tragedy is the result Of feud
Of forty years standing and within
that time more than a score Of per-
sons have met death. but the fact that
the killings have taken place at long
intervals did not make it so promi-
nent as other mountain feuds.
The feud RACES among the Whitaker
Barnes, Mize and Taylor families and
in the last FIVE years a dozen members
of the various families have been kill
ed. 1t is regarded as bloody as the
Baker Howard feud in Clay county,
