who knew anything were afraid to

County and State officers offered
rewards for the arrest and conviction
of the murderers. A woman told who
they were. Brave men pieced out
the evidence. Sam Music, teamster,
was arrested. In Jail he confessed to

A Poem ON Scaffold.
The hanging of Marsh Grain was
great event in Illinois and was re-
garded as proof that Bloody Will
hanson" had turned over a new leaf.
On the scaffoid he said Il am guilty
of killing the two men" and read a
poem of twenty-four verses which
he had composed for the occasion"
Sam Music was sent to prison for
fourteen years and some of the
others for longer terms.
One would like to report that VII

lived happily ever after. Mr.. Erwin,
closing his narrative, prayed that it

away from the bloody acts of de-
praved men, hoping with all the fer
vor of which my soul is capable that
God will add no other plague to our

TO his history he offered this excel
lent advice: There is no reason why
a community of as intelligent. honest
and Industrious people as ours
should not live in peace and plenty.
We must learn to denounce crime
and punish criminals. and not stand
ready to applaud them. Our GRIM
inals must lay down their arms, for

must be enforced: without this. life
will be unsafe and property invaded.

That was written forty-six years
ago. The county has indeed had its
periods of calm since then, but or

cler of the feud, was the worst muir
der of them all. You may combine
corruption, debauchery. and all the
forms of degradation known to the
inventive genius of man, and cord
them together with the strings drawn
from maidens' hearts, and paint the

broken vows and scared consciences,

Before he died David Bulliner ac-
cused Thomas Russell and David
Pleasant, Russell was tried and ac-
quilted, although John Bulliner sat
in the courtroom, facing him with
his gun. One Of the witnesses was
Sarah Stocks, over whom Russell and
John Bulliner had quarreled. Mr..
Erwin's picture of her must not be
omitted.
Her contour" he said, ''is not as
faultless as a Greek goddess, but her
form and features had caught some
new grace from the times. Her eye
was as clear and cold as a stalactite
of Capri She wore a sigh, and
there is something in a sigh for

Tom Russell's release SO enraged
the .Bulliners and their friends that
there was talk of hanging the lead
ers of the Russell Henderson clan.
AS Tom Russell disappeared, ven
geance was visited on his kin and
fellow feudists. On May 10, 1874,
three men hid behind pile of logs
and shot James Henderson while he
was working in his field. They had
tried to steal up to his house, but
the barking of his dogs and braying
of his mules scared them away.
Henderson died; his wife went mad.
Henderson on his deathbed said the
assassins were James Norris, John

witnesses from Tennessee swotS he
was in that State at the time of the
murder.
In all the narrative there is not
one man to man duel. The feudists
fired always from ambush-from
weeds, roadside thickets, barnyard
fence corners, from behind trees
and logs. upon unsuspecting victims.
Vincent Hinchcliff was riding home

times with pistols. Vince" and his

By THoREAU cRoNYN.

"HEY call southern Illinois
Egypt" and Williamson
- county Bloody Williamson"
The county's sobriquet is clearly due
to series of feuds and killings dat
ing back to 1870 and ending-let us
hope-with the massacre of the strip
miners in the woods between Marion
and Herrin on June 90 last.
Why Egypt" is not so apparent.
Explanations differ according to
whether the informant is an Egypt
ian or not. Some captious outsiders
profess to believe that the inhabi-
tants of southern Illinois dwell, or
used to dwen. in state of mental
darkness. Others say that as the
city on the Ohio River was christened
Cairo the hinterland naturally ac-
quired the name Egypt.
Others contend that the region
was so dubbed because the flats about
Cairo resemble the delta of the Nile.
especially in flood time. Cairo was
the town lampooned-or was it a
veracious picture by Dickens in
Martin Chuzzlewit." The residents
of Egypt, on the other hand, ascribe
the appellation to fertility of soil
and fidelity of climate. They recall
specifically a strange year when all
of northern Illinois was wasted by
drought and had to be fed from the
bursting granaries of the southern
tier. The old settlers knew their
Bible. They pointed exultantly to
the forty-first chapter of Genesis, the
story of Joseph's Interpretation of
the dream and of his boarding the
corn through the seven years of
plenty against the seven of famine.
"And the seven years of dearth
began to come. according as Joseph
had said, and the dearth was in all
the lands, but in all the land of
Egypt there was bread. And all
countries came into Egypt to Joseph
for to buy corn; because that the
famine was so sore in all lands"

with the murder of Hinchcliff, but

d. f. Jennings, dropped the case.
Jennings, afterward Judge of Pro-
bate in Oklahoma City, was the
father of AL Jennings, ex-bandit,
whom President Roosevelt pardoned
and who later ran for Governor OF
Oklahoma. 1t will be recalled that Al
Jennings. following the traditional
custom of demanding blood for blood,
was hunting outlaws who had killed
with them and became an outlaw
himself.
Usually the Williamson county
bioods did their own numbering, but
occasionally, it appears from Mr..
Erwin's story, they hired it done.

Grain next sought out William
Spence, who kept a store in Grain
vile, fired both barrels of his shot |
gun into Spence's abdomen and fin
ished him with revolver At this
point the patience of the bystanders |
broke. Republicans joined with Dem
ocrats in the common cause of end
ing the slaughter. They were influ-
enced by practical as well as moral |
considerations. We quote Mr.. Erwin |
again:
Our lands went down In value |
one-third to one-half. The fields of
grain that were annually gathered /
on the. west side of the county nearly |
failed These were stubborn facts, !
known at home and read by thinking |
minds throughout the world. The |
name of Williamson county had be-
come hiss and a by-word. Strarg-
ers summed us like n serpent, and |
the sting was felt Affairs were de- |

Noted assassins were concealed in |
the thickets of the bloody ground. |
The air was filled with the omens of
disaster. Pass the street corners a.ad |
the breath of murder was whispered |

unbridled and unchecked. To bring
these outlaws to justice was the uni
versal desire of our people: but how
to do it was point that put to

Coal Near Surface.


This is pleasing and plausible
explanation of the nickname given
to southern Illinois, and one prefers
to believe it the true one. The fact
is, however, that there are more
fertile soils than that of Williamson
county. 1t is clayeY and alkaline
and has been largely abandoned by
the wheat grower, which must not
be taken to mean that the country
season, for 1t is. But many years
ago the farmers discovered that they
had beneath their feet a treasure
surprising the bumperest Of corn
and wheat crops-a vein of btu
minous coal underlying most of the
region, averaging nine feet in thick
ness. stretching well across the State
and easily mined. In some parts of
Williamson county the coal is only
ten or twelve feet beneath the sur
face. In such places are the strip
mines, so called because the surface
dirt is stripped off and the coal taken
out as from an open quarry instead
of being reached by tunneling, as in
coal fields where the vein lies deep.
In other parts of the same county
the coal is from 100 to 200 feet
under ground.
When the farmers realized that
they owned black diamond mines
many of them sold out or leased to
the mining companies and retired to
the towns. Others continue to cul-
tivate part of their land and leave
the coal rights to outsiders. and there
are some who work their farms in
the summer and mine in the winter.
Williamson and it's neighbor, Frank
Il county, are. two of the nations
greatest coal producers. With the
exploitation of the coal fields came
a boom. Herrin, a few miles from
the scene of the recent massacre,
was until twenty-five years ago a
wheat field, part of what the set
tiers called Herrin's Prairie. Even
twenty years ago it's railroad station
was a box car. Now it is city of
about $4,000 inhabitants. with good
buildings and streets, the only hos
pital in Williamson county and a
high school which any person en-
countered in Herrin will tell you is
"the best in the State" Marion. the
county seat, nine miles from Herrin,
an older and sedater community. has
about 10000 persons. Carbondale
has a State normal school.
