A Hancock county, Kentucky, feud
of years standing has broken out
afresh. and James Yount, aged 30, and
George Greene, aged IS, are the last
victims. James Davis, who admits the
double killing but says he did it in
self-defence, has surrendered to the
authorities at Smeedville. The feud
originated some years ago with the
killing of Eli Greene, an aged man, who
was shot from ambush while he was
harvesting. Yount married a daughter
of the elder Greene and Davis welded
his widow. Bad feeling existed between
Davis and Yount and it is supposed
that George Greene. a son Of the MUIR
dered man, took Yount's part in the
fight. Yount and Greene were unarmed.
