volving about its own sun, but
in company with billions of other
heavenly bodies, moving on and

some central attraction too collosal

FEUD BLAMED IN
HERRLN WAR

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 3D.
What is the unknown ingredient
simmering at the bottom Of the
seething cauldron Of hatred in
Bloody Williamson" county, which
now and again explodes, spraying
Herrin with blood and leaving on
her streets added dead to swell the
total of victims of the county's
violence?
Feudism is the answer given by
State capital observers. 1t is, they
say, a situation similar to that
which has go often existed in Ken.
lucky from one generation to an
other.
This is a common sight in Her
rim. A group gathers on a street
corner. Other men appear and join
the group. Then a man, not known
to belong to either faction and
avowedly a neutral, approaches.
What occurs?
The group simply melts away
and the passerby goes his way un-
greeted and Stunned. Both fac
tons, observers say, are alike in
this. They trust no ON.
But the most important question
is2"Will the feud die out?"
Not likely, say these observers.
For when a member of one faction
or the other dies in a. furry of
lead, hatred is born In the hearts
OF friends and kindred, who then
become anxious to carry on the
fray and avAnSe his death.
