Herrin Residents
Have Reputation
for Lawlessness

Marion, ILL.,, Nov. 1.-The sangui-
nary mine battle at the Lester strin
pit, between Herrin and Marion, last
June, in which at least % men lost
their lives, was long removed from
the former cases of violence which
had won for this county as early as
half a century ago the name of
Bloody Williamson"
The first recorded killing was
committed in the county in 1918,
when Thomas CRITICIZE killed an In
dian for trying to shoot bear which
Griffee also was stalking.
Night riders, regulators, white
icappers and the ku klux khan played
their part in the vendetta" which
ran for twenty years before and after
the civil war.
Milo Erwin, a Marion attorney, who
wrote a history of the Vendetta in
1876, in which he said that at least
twenty-five of the participants were
personal friends who had told him the
facts, estimated the total of major
crimes growing out of that feud at
1927. His figures included 2S5 muir
ders; 495 assaults with deadly
weapon; 100 cases of larceny: Is of
rape; % of burglary and 20 of per-
jury.
"Of the smaller offenses | have ia
ken no notice." he remarks in his his

three men have been badly wounded"

meeting in a Marion saloon, passed
resolutions to secede from the Union
and attempted to organize a regiment
to defend the county against union
soldiers.
A company of union troops was
stationed at a railroad bridge over
the Big Muddy, just over the county
line, and a crowd was raised to at
tack them. A spy sent out to look
over the land reported the soldiers
had a cannon, and the crowd dis
persed.
Later company from Williamson
county succeeded in reaching con-
federate army in Kentucky and
fought through the war with the
south.
Many of the leading men of the
county were involved in the Wendell
ia. One of the picturesque charac-
tiers was ]. D. F. Jennings, states
attorney of the county.
Jennings, the history says, wrote
a series of letters to the Farmers
Advocate, of Marion, signed Big
Pete of the Woods" threatening all
the leading citizens, including him
self.
"A while before he left" Erwin
wrote, "he sent letter to Samuel
Dunaway and a few other rich men
of Marion, threatening to kill them,
and signed it Big Pete Then he
went to these parties and said he
knew who it was wanting to kill
them, and that if they would give
him $4,000 he would hire men to kill
Big Pete, and even told them whom
he could get to do it."

The board of county commissioners
Friday accepted the proposal of the
state highway commission whereby

equally in the cost of maintaining the
80 miles Of federal aid roads in this
county. The contract was signed by
the commissioners and will be for
warded to Helena for the signatures
of the members of the state highway
commission.
Under this arrangement the county
will appropriate and pay to the state
highway commission $6.S73 as its share

mission will maintain patrol system
and will be entirely responsible for
the condition of the roads The con-
tract expressly provides that the cost

the appropriation.
The taking over of the maintenance
of federal aid roads is a feature of

highway commission. Heretofore, the
highways have been under the care of
the county. Maintenance under the
supervision of the commission will be

EDITOR SEES PROSPERITY
THROUGH BRASS PURCHASE
Waterbury Visitor Predicts Great Falls and His
City Will Derive Mutual Benefits From
Consolidation of Companies.

W. J. Pape, publisher of the Water
bury Republican, and Uncle SAM
Hampton of the Montana State col
lege's extension service were intro
duced at the Great Falls Advertising
clubs luncheon at Hotel Rainbow Fri
day by President Scott Leavitt as
speakers representing the resources in
which the community is most interested
industry and agriculture. MIR. Hamp-
ton spoke on the states agricultural
problems and Mr.. Pape gave the club
an account of Waterbury's reaction
tiOn Of the American Brass company
and the Anaconda Copper Mining com
pany.
Mr.. Pape said he was persuaded to
speak about Waterb,lrys interest in
the consolidation because of a quota
ton asked him upon his arrival by w.
NJ. Bole. editor Of The Tribune 'Nfr.
Bole wanted to know he stated. chow
Waterbury received the news of the
Anaconda's purchase of American
Brass, and to tell it all will be quite a
story.
Some Regretted Offer
'John d. Ryan had been coming to
Waterbury quite regularly for some
llmSs uut AOlIIHS Udu UeeH given OUT
about impending negotiations for the
purchase of the brass company. When
the purchase was finally sufficiently
advanced to permit the plans to become
known, there were many Of us who
wished the offer had not been made
Then we decided Mr.. Ryan was on the
right track The consolidation was a
natural, logical. practical accomplish
ment, and. prompted by our interest in
the community's welfare. the stock
holders accepted it. Had we refused,
the natural course would have been
for the Anaconda to make similar ar
rangements with some other brass con-
Germ.
1--WE were feeling pretty good about
il until The Great Falls Tribune came
along. We saw Mr.. Boles account Of
the celebration going on here because
of the consolidation. You were explod-
ing firecrackers and setting off all sorts
Of fireworks. Since / have talked with
Mr.. BOle / have forgiven him, but his
story went long way in Waterbury.
We were somewhat apprehensive. The
brass concern had maintained its works
there all these scores of years. but
there had once been feeling that the
Great Falls tribune., 1922-03-11

! logical location for the plant was 1t
the site Of the Michigan copper mines.
We knew we were working against the
distance, with all the resulting problem
Of transportation. Reading Mr.. Boie
story, some of us thought we could see
stagnation ahead for Waterbury.
Fears Groundless
''rhen We asked Mr.. Kelley and Mr..
Ryan to tell us just exactly wnat we
wanted to know, and in their charac-
teristic fashion they told us. They
told us why Waterbury should continue
to grow. and why there should be de-
velopment in the west, too. After
nearing them we realized that our fears
had been groundless-there never had
been any reason to believe that the
Anaconda would buy a $45,OOOOO
plant and then scrap it,"
Mr.. Pape declared that "everythlng
IS bull argument for Materonay nd ha,n ano
ed, even as Great Falls is benefited.
We are inclined to be bit too con-
servative in the east; we pattern too
much after father and grandfather.
In invention and research we have plen-
ty Of initiative. but as statesmen we
may lack something. It's easily possl-
BILE that we need a bit of this Montana
juice"
Believes Prosperity Ahead
The speaker closed with an express
sion of appreciation of Mr.. Ryan and
Mr.. Kelley. He said that he had come
to Montana to study the company's
works. and that with the information
gained and with his knowledge of the
heads Of the Anaconda he had an
Astounding conviction that Waterbury
can be easily reconciled to an absentee
ownership. He expressed the convic-
ton that Waterbury and Montana are
entering period of great prosperity
and that in their unity of interests
would be continued source Of mu-
tual friendship.
Mr.. Hampton will deliver an address
at the Liberty theater next Wednesday.
and confined his talk at the club lunch
con to brief summary of efforts be-
ing made by the extension service to
be of assistance to Montana agricul-
ture. He declared that the farmer is
the most important producer in the
world: that he is the ultimate paymas
ter. and that it is the duty of society
to see that he is protected
