A Howell county feud that has
been internationally serious for
20 years, has been revived near
Old Horton, and obscure village
in the north western part of the
county. -Four homes, owned by
the Collins clan of feudists, lead.
ers OF Il baud of 200 persons,
We're burned to the ground, sew :
eral men and women given horse
whippings, and practically the
whole Collins outfit warned to
leave the state at once, under
the penalty of death. The at
tack was made about midnight,
Sunday, by 10 mounted and
armed men in masks. None OF
them were recognized, SO far as
can be learned, but the suppose
ton is that the better element OF
the country banded together To
drive the worst of the Collins
feudists from the vicinity, The
home of Mrs. Jane Collins was
attacked first. Her son, Paralee
Collins, %, was horsewhipped,
but the aged woman, being
blind, was treated less harshly.
The boy was given As hours to
leave the state under penalty OF
death, The home was then
burned to the ground. The posse
then fired the home and barn of
Dan Collins, and s or 10 men,
bers OF his family and neigh
bors were ordered TO leave the
country. Two other unoccupied
houses belonging to the Collins
band were burned. The resi-.
dents of Old Horton were arous-
ed by that time and the masked
men fled, orderly under scattered
fire. So far as known, no one
was injured by the bullets.
While some believe the act was
simply to rid the country of the
bad element, others think Il is q
revival of the old feud, in which
a number Of lives have oeen
taken.
