impure administration and impure wa
ter as we'll"

Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1908-06-05

The feuds and assassinations which
for ten years have made Breathitt
county, Kentucky, the most infamous
spot in the United States have lately
attracted new attention because of the
tragic death Of the man to whom, more
than to any one else, the reign of ter.
ror was due. 1t would be hard to find
even In Greek play, a more dramatic
ending to career of abhorrent crime
The man who had become both a polit.
ical and financial king Of his noun.
tain realm. who had debauched the civil
life Of his State as well as that of his
county, and who had no one knows how
many assassinatlons to his discredit,
was flnally shot down la cold blood, In
his own store by the son whom he had
allowed to grow up in untaught, unre.
strained drunken viciousness. Nothing
stranger exists in the civilization of the
United States than the feuds Of which
that which has just ended is typical.
The actors are Of the purest American
blood, the most unmixed lineage, of any
people In the country. They are force
full, proud and independent, and pos
sessed Of more than ordinary natural
ability; but they have lived in isola.
ton, cut of from the learning of the
schools and almost everything else
which spells progress. Constant inter.
marriages have intensified natural
traits and raised the sense of family
solidarity to height that has rarely
existed elsewhere except among the
Scottish clans in the days of the border
warfare. 1t has been the family or the
friend against the world, with the Coli
or the Winchester as the court of last
resort. The end of these feuds Is un.
doubtedly in sight, If it has not already
been reached. Even before this latest
murder, public indignation, like tide
had been rising slowly and irresistibly
In Kentucky. 1t had already sent tc
the penitentiary for life two of the
most notorious Of the assassins, and
had driven others from the State. The
parricidal bullet may have been only
anticlpatory.
