Allegany County's version OF West
Virginias Hatfield-M Mccoy feud was
unfolded yesterday by Trooper A.
M. Spioch of the Maryland State
Police, who said an undeclared war
has been waged for several days be-
tween the Doman and Meyers clans
on Flat Rock road between Western
port ana Barton.
Mr.. Spioch said the dispute start
ed with the passing of some unf1at-
tering remarks, advanced to the
fight stage with no holds barred and
finally reached the point where the
homes of both families took on the
appearance of opposing forts, with
armed patrols scouting the neigh
borhood.
Mr.. Spioch gave this version of
the affair:
Theodore Trenun, rs, son-in- law of
Howard DOMAIN, and Bruce Meyers,
20, engaged in the first brawl. Both
men are veterans and gave each
other a good beating, with "Old

Fireman Hurt in Blaze
Near Highway Bridge

From Yesterdays Last Edition.
One fireman was injured and
traffic on the Mount Vernon Memo
rial boulevard was halted for nearly
half an holr this afternoon as
flames destroyed $4,000 worth of
lumber about 100 yards to the rear
of the A. and w. Hot Shoppe at
the Arlington approach to the High
way Bridge.
Firemen from three Arlington
companies and from the National
Airport fought the blaze for nearly
two hours before bringing it under
control. At one time smoke was so
heavy that a freight train on the
nearby Southern tracks was halted
for several minutes.
Philip w. Mackey, chief of the
jefferson district fire company, was
injured when a piece of burning
lumber scraped his neck. He was
treated on the scene and continued
to direct flre-flghting efforts.
Some flames rose so feet high, at
tracing more than a thousand
spectators from the Pentagon Build
ing, the Navy's Arlington Annex and
nearby areas. The fire equipment
from the airport obtained water by
running their hoses into the river.
The lumber, believed to have been
ignited from brush fire, was part
of four emergency bridges erected
in whole or in part across the Po-
tomac during the war.

Fire Destroys Vacant House;
Blaze Damages Bungalow

Two Prince Georges County fires
last night destroyed one house and
damaged another.
One Of the fires occurred in a
two-story vacant house on Edmon-
ston road near Defense highway in

Bladensburg and Cottage City VOL
unteer' Fire Departments said the
building appeared to be complete
loss" Cause of the fire could not
be determined.
James Butler, 80, of 3705 Fortieth

the Cottage City Volunteer Fire De-
partment, suffered cuts on, the hand
while attempting to break window
pane in the house.
The other fire damaged the in
terror of one-story bungalow
owned by Mrs. Grace Stansbury at
Sixty-first and E streets, Capitol
Heights. Firemen attributed the
blaze to a short circuit. Companies
from Capitol Heights, Seat Pleasant
and Boulevard Heights responded to
the alarm.
