The recent celebration by the
League Of American Pen Women OF
their twenty-fifth anniversary, or
''silver jubilee" makes this story
timely:
During the administration Of Ben
jamin Harrison, the present American
copyright bill was passed. William
Mckinley, then member Of the house
Ut representatives, offered the bill, the
data for which was supplied by Mar
.garet Sullivan Burke, newspaper cor.
respondent, and afterward first presi-
dent Of the League Of American Pen
Women. She gave this league Its first
home and its name.
Afterward, when President Harrison
signed this hill, the pen with which
he signed it was presented to Mrs.
Burke by Elijah Halford, his private
secretary, and one Of her old Indiana
friends. This pen is now In the posses
sion Of her daughter, Hilda Burke.

county was Democratic, but before
the war ended it swung to Republi-
canism. and there it has stayed ever
since.
The people are still distinctively
Southern in their speech, habits and

however. There have been so many
race riots" in southern Illinois,
caused usually by the Importation OF
negro labor from the South and the
resistance of white Northen labor,
that the Southern counties have not
been regarded as especially salubrious
retreats for the colored brother.
There are. however. few mines that
employ negroes, and as a rule they
get along with the whites.
The white settlers came from
region of feudal tradition and prac-
tice and of self-made law. When
they crossed the river some of them
kept on shooting when aggrieved,
and 1t is taking some time for their
descendants to get into the habit of
carrying their troubles to court in
stead of acting as their own judge
and executioner. In the roaring
boom days of Herrin the killings, the
writer was told, averaged almost
one a day." and anything less than
this was regarded as a symptom of
sluggishness.
But the city Is not as tolerant
toward crime as it used to be. The
whole county is gradually inclining
toward peace. despite the occasional
outbreaks of ferocity. but even so
the busiest man in Williamson
county continues to be the veteran
Coroner, William McCown. On the
whole, it was hopeful sign when
the mobs of June 81 had to loot hard
ware stores to get arms and ammu-
milton. Time was when nobody
needed to do that.

History of the Vendetta.

Far away and long ago is the pro-
cession of murders known locally as
the Vendetta" which caused Will
hanson county to be tagged with the
adjective bloody" But brief out
line of this dark feud may help the
reader to an understanding of the
massacre of the miners in 1922. The
facts were painstakingly collected by
Milo Erwin, an attorney of Marion,
and published in 1876 when the
graves were fresh. Historians owe a
debt to Hal w. Trevillion. editor of
the Herrin NeloS, who republished
the volume in 1914.
II have to catalogue the deeds of
the Vendetta. concocted by leaders
and executed by fiendish emissaries;
that has not a parallel in the record
of crime" Mr. Erwin wrote. "Here
were men at whose bloodthirstiness
even savages would blush, which
brands them forever as the basest
and bloodiest of incarnate demons"
Several families were suspected of
being concerned in the Vendetta.
among them the Russells, the Sis
neys. the Hendersons. the Bulliners,
the Hinchcliffs and the Grains. The
original causes were a deck of cards,
woman and crop of oats. The
Russells, .Sisners and Hendersons
were Republicans, the others Demo
Gratis. Felix, or "Field" Henderson,
fought George Bulliner over a game
of cards in saloon on July 4. 1868.
and was badly beaten by the Bull
iners. The next autumn somebody
burned the Bulliners' cotton gin and
three ricks of hay. Some persons
thought Field Henderson did it.
In 1859 David Bulliner and George
Sisney fell out over the ownership of
crop of oats and George knocked
David down with a shovel. The Bull
liners retaliated with Henry rifles and
pistols and Sisney was shot in the
hip while trying to get behind a-tree.
In 1872 Thomas ]. Russell and John
Bulliner courted Miss Sarah Stocks.
She preferred Bulliner and thereafter
he and Russell were enemies. The
Vendetta was now under way. Other
families were dragged in. The Grains.

so that whenever members of the
embattled families met there was a
fight
From fists they proceeded to dead
lier weapons and to the ambuscade.
