 Saturday night at 6:SO o'clock, thereby starting what is feared will be one of the bitterest feuds in the history of the Alabama mountains. Yesterday morning the sheriff's office was notified by Brewis that he had killed Lynn and requested that they send deputies to bring him in. Deputy Sheriff Chris Hartsfeld was im- mediately hurried to the scene and brought the prisoner, who appears to be about 45 years old, into Birmingham. He was lodged in the county jail yester- day afternoon.
 Yesterday afternoon John Brewis, son of Alec Brewis. and a. brother-in-law of Lynn, was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Dave Kennybrook and brought to Bir- mingham, in spite of parties of feudists who were securing the mountains in the neighborhood of Sayre looking for the boy, who is accused of having hand,
 in the shooting of Lynn.
 All the trains out of Sayre were closely watched by the relatives of the dead man and Deputy Kennybrook only escaped by hiding his prisoner in the baggage car of the Louisville and. Nashville. He barricaded the doors, but the mob only searched the passenger coaches and there was no encounter.
 Four Families Involved
 The killing of Lynn will involve four families and about twenty men, according to the officials who are familiar with the conditions in the country where the Tba lated to a number of families in the mountains and the Brewis family is also widely related and 1t was reported in Birmingham last night that the relatives of both parties were arming themselves in preparation for the trouble that the deputies state will surely result.
 The shooting of Lynn brings to light a romance of the mountains that is worthy of the pen of James Lane Allen or John Fox or Charles Egbert Grad dock. Every element of romance appears in the shooting.
 Two years ago Leslie Lynn began to court the daughter of Alec Brewis and finally won her hand. Her father stead fastly refused to give his consent to the marriage and the young couple finally decided to eope. The elopement was successful and they were married. The father forgave them and for a few short months all were happy. Then Lynn be- gan to disagree with his wife and finally | sent her back to her mother with black eye. After living by himself for a time Lynn concluded that he loved his wife and succeeded in persuading Brewis to permit his daughter to again live with him. In a short time there was another disagreement and again the wife went back to the roof of her father. The cul- | imitation of it came Saturday morning l at o'clock when Lynn is charged with | having brutally beaten his wife and cast her out She went home to her mother. Father Hears the News | Her father did not know anything of l this until Saturday afternoon when he returned from another part of the county, where he is running mine. His wife and daughter told him of Lynns con- duct and he made preparations to see I Lynn and find out the trouble.
 The following is the version of the I shooting told by Brewis and his son: They went down to Lynns house and called him out. He began telling them
 that he would explain when the elder placed his hand in his bosom. Brewis
 says he warned Lynn not to come any
 closer and when he kept coming he shot
