WAR ENDED KENTUCKY FEUDS
Were Estranged, Brought Togeth-
er at County Reunion.

The war has brought peace to the
feudist counties of Garrard and Lin
coin in Kentucky. For more than 8
generation these neighboring but not
neighborly counties were estranged-
the inhabitants of one being sworn en-
emies of the natives of the other and
many were the brushes between them,
which, though not bloodless altogeth-
err happily produced no fatalities.
Then came the war and the youth
of Garrard and Lincoln counties
marched off together. They went
overseas together and fought the
Boche together, sharing together the
dangers, discomforts and great mo-
ments of battle. The sea stood be-
tween them and the old quarrel at
home. Little by little the ancient
grudge faded away until the boys from
Lincoln and the boys from Garrard
were actually fraternizing in the rest
billets back Of the line.
They came home together. For the
moment they had had enough fighting.
They could see no point in keeping
alive the traditional quarrel between
their respective counties. So, recent
~ officers of the American Legion
posts of Stanford, county seat Of Lin
coin county and Lancaster, county
seat of Garrard county, got together
and agreed upon a grand reunion and
"peace" celebration of the residents
of both counties. The affair was held
under the auspices Of the Legion and
old feudists whose sons shared the
same shell hole together in France,
shook hands for the first time in their
lives and called it quits.

VETERAN OF TWO GREAT WARS
AdoIph Lowe of LansdaIe, Pa, Par
tcipated in Both the Civil and
World Conflicts.

With the war between North and
South in which he fought more than
50 years behind him, AdOlph L. Lowe
of Lansdale, Pa, in 1917 again en-
tered the service of his country in
the war with Germany and today at
seventy-nine is one of the most re-
markable members of the American
Legion His age, naturally enough,
debarred him from going to sea three
years ago with the navy, which he
Joined as a carpenters mate and he
was assigned to the base at Cherry
stone island, Va, and later to the Nor
folk navy aviation center, the Ports
mouth naval hospital and the V1r-
ginia Beach rifle range.
Although he was denied sea service
in the World war, Mr.. Lowe saw
enough action to last most men the
rest of their lives during the civil
war. He took part in the lombard
ment of Fort Sumter and saw the
Merrimac ablaze. Later in the block
ade of Charleston and in naval en-
gagements along the coast he went
through hard and severe fighting.
Mr.. Lowe says that the sea stories
of Fenimore Cooper first brought to
him the desire to follow the sea for
career. In 1859 he shipped for
South America and the following year
in Rio de Janeiro he swan mile to
the shore to sign as a midshipman on
the u. S. sloop of war Seminole.

Many friends of Mr. Wood, who formerly operated the Swastika mine and who was in charge of the George E. Treadwell mines at Mayer once upon time, will be glad to see him back in the country once more. He is not here to stay, however, but merely to take a rest and again look over the familiar scenes. He is now engaged in the manufacturing busi- ness in Los Angeles, and is looking just as happy as ever, having The same old. cheerful smile"
 While stationed at Mayer, MT, Wood designed and built one Of the most complete and most nearly prac- tical of the dry concentrating eXperi- nents that has ever been undertaken. He isAa mechanic of the highest ability, and says that even today, after he has lost his ambition to strive for plaudits of mankind, which, in fact. he was never very keen after, that he would like nothing bettet than a first class shop in a quiet place where he could design and make things with tools.

It is estimated that there are now about 275,000 sheep on the way from the winter ranges in southern Nava- pal and Maricopa county to their summer homes in Coconino, Navajo and Apache counties. They have to cross certain drives, there being five main lanes through the national for ests. as follows: The Tonto Drive. Bear Springs. Grief Hill, Government Gap and Round Valley-Heber-Reno drives. Certain herds have preference to go over certain of these drives, and only a certain number of sheep can be taken across certain drives. All sheep must be free from scab or they cannot cross.

CFrom Fridays naily.)

As far as the city officers Ot Je- rome were concerned, the events of the night of January last, being in quired into in the trial on a statutory charge of Fred Woods, Jerome plumber. were regular. This was the gisT of defense testimony introduced yesterday following the completion of the prosecutions case. George Floyd one of the two policemen jointly charged with the defendant was the most interesting witness of the ses- sion.
 The story of Floyd that he and Giles, his brother officer, had been called off the Schendel case by a ruckus in Mexican town was Corro- borated by Jose J. NJ. F. Varela, a Spaniard of pleasing appearance, al whose house the sO-Called trouble was going on. Varela explained that the family was celebrating a birthday for one of his daughters, and that he had eight musicians in attendance and on duty. Lodgers in the Arizona hotel next door complained of the noise, it was said. and several of them, in- cluding Angel Ruiz and Florentino Rodriguez, went up town to get an officer. They met Clarence Sage, whom they knew to be a sort of peace officer, and put the problem up to him. Sage, in turn, it was said, informed Floyd and Giles as the latter were conducting Mrs. Schendel to the police station for a statement. Floyd testified that he and Giles then left Mrs. Schendel on the street cor ner with Sage and Woods and went to the Varela residence, possibly two blocks away. and after looking around, returned. None of the trio they had left were present, he said.
 The cross and redirect eXamina- ton of Mrs. Schendel occupied part of the forenoonand was followed by the testimony of the mother of the prosecutrix as to her homage.

SULLIVAN SAYS OLD
 JOHNSON RESUMES

D. ]. Sullivan of Congress June .ion is in fhe city from the mines. He reports considerable activity in the Rich Hill section. Some parties nave taken a working bond on the old Johnson vein on Rich Hill. They are hauling out considerable ma cnincry and supplies and the report is current that big work is contcm- plated.
 The old Johnson mine is believed by some folks to be the original vein of the great placer gold deposit gathered from Rich Hill. Some con tend that it is not so, and heated argument can be had any time you will start anything on that subject among the old timers who claim to know all about it. It is easy to find a champion for either side.
 MT. Sullivan thinks perhaps these new operators may prove or disprOvc the theory of the gold deposits if they will get busy and develop the property.

 In an interview with a Journal Miner" reporter he said, The car covered on the round trip about 900 miles. Of these nine hundred miles of road less than ten per cent are what would be called bad roads. The bad places always stand out more strikingly than the good ones, as it IS so easy to get over good roads and so hard to get over bad ones.

TWO CENT PIECE RECOMMENDED
 AS CHANCE
Especial to The Journal-Miner)

NOPSNAoA " ! l4C JOhA lLdl-NAlCAJ WASHINGTON, April 30.-To meet the convenience of the public in making small purchases, Senators George P. Mclean of Connecticut, and Joseph s. Frelinghuysen of New Jersey advocate the coinage of two- cent pieces, seven-cent pieces and eight-cent pieces. The demand for pennies to make change has become enormous. With the use of the new coins, as proposed, 1t would be easy to make the odd combinations re- quired for buying many small arti- cles. The minting of a two-cent coin Is proposed in the Mclean bill as memorial to Theodore Roosevelt. It would be made of copper alloy some what larger in size than the penny, though not like the old cart-wheelS coined as two-Cent pieces more than Q quarter of a century ago. On the face of the coin would appear the bust of Colonel Roosevelt stamped in relief. It is not specified in the bill proposed by Senator Freliughuysen what may be the design of the seven and eight-cent pieces They would be made of nickel alloy similar to that which now forms the fivc-cent piece. The Mclean bill for the coin age of two-cent pieces has been fa- vorably reported to the senate by the committee on banking and currency. The bill for the coinage of the seven and eight-cent pieces was recently introduced by Senator Frelinghuysen.
 No Lowering in Sight
 Representative William D. Up shaw, Georgia democrat, who ap- pcared in the house recently clad in suit of $4 overalls may De com pelled to wear them for the next five years. Representative Upshaw declared that he would wear them as d protest against high prices until living costs are permanently reduced Dr. Royal Meeker, the administra- ton expert on living costs, straight way reports that it will be at least five years before a permanent reduc- ticn is made ill the high cost of liv- ing. Meeker is head of the statistics bureau in the U. s. department of labor which conducts a continuous survey into living costs in all large cities. The survey shows that prices have scared ever since the adminis- tration undertook to lower the high cost of living through a nationwide campaign one year ago. Meeker ad- mits the failure of the administrations in the statement that mo permanent reduction can be expected in living costs for years"
 Repeating Print Paper Duty
 At the instance of Senator Reed Shoot of Utah, chairman of the joint committee on printing, the senate has passed the bill amending the revenue act of l9l6 so as to permit the free importation of all print paper valued at not more than eight cents per pound. At present the law restricts free importation to those with for eign value of five cents a pound or less. As such values have risen above five cents the result is that practi- cally no free importations are made. When the new bill becomes a law it is expected that large quantities Of print paper will come into the coun- try, and the present shortage be re- lieved to a great extent. The bill already has passed the house, and will probable be signed by the presi- dent in the near future.

Regarding political conditions, he is not quite certain as to which side
 IS to be in the lead in the end. Villa IS a high grade bandit, not molest- ing women and poor people, but be- ing principally on the trail of gov ernment soldiers and agents, and in wait for rich people from whom he can get money. He exacts the strict- est sobriety from his soldiers and dic- tates with an iron hand to his fol- lowers, the number of whom no one can guess at.
 He says that there seems to be no great amount of hatred toward the Americans from the masses of the Mexican people. There are, in his opinion, bad people there the same as everywhere, and that the whole nation is not to be classed by the acts of a few gangs and few com munities. However, he promises a more exact statement of the case for publication in the future.
