body was a k00(' target for a load of

pointing to the house occupied by r-iMicy
when living.
"i;ui you .stop wntuig:
"Hell, no! poured it Into 'em liarder'n

The train reached Carbondale late In
Hie evening. In eompany with Joe Kob-
art I went to a hotel, and after register
ing walked to thuhottsc where slsney was
murdered, while convening with Stan
ley, the man of bad memory and doubt-
...I.,. M...w.l...,l I ..Hl.n...l..1.. a..
the night of tho murder, on a delayed
train of cars. The doors of tho etoro
were closed and lastened. We stepped
upon the porch of the residence, and
stood, perhaps, on t''o very spot where
tho assa-'-iii stood when he tired the fatal
shot. The wire screen had disappeared,
no doubt laid away to act 6ome day ad a
mute witness against the murderer; tho
esish had been lowered, and the room
was bare of furniture, nnd nothing re
mained to denote former occupancy ex
cept a new parlor slovo in the opposite
part of tin room.
"Ho was killed in this room i" I nsked.
"Right on that spot," said Roberts,
pointing lo a visible speck on tho lloor.
It was nu uuly night, a heavy storm
of wind and rain having passed over tho
town. It Is supposed mat ttireo men en
gaged In it two at tills window, and the

Where was tho Other?"
'Can't exprces any positive opinion on
Hmt suhlect. but it Is now generally con
ceded that ho was In Carbondale. Over
tiii'tn. " and ho extended his hand north
past. dlML'onallv. toward a brick housooii
a corner of a street and alley, "a short
time before the murder, a man was seen
stnndhiL' with a gun In his hands. No
niirllfiifiir lint ll'tl WAS tnkCIl Ot tills ItlCl
dent until the death-dealing shot startled
l i s nortlon of Caruoiulale. A tow
nlL'hts nrlnr to the assassination, two
good watch dogs disappeared from tlio
immedintu vlclnltv ol Sisnev's house.
Based upon this fuel, I should argue that
tlio niiinierers camo up tho lley east
supped alon,'; tlio fence, got upon
the porch, and well, you know tlio
rest mo had u coroner's iuquci't and

Uy tills tlinoui shadows of cvonliig
commenced to gather over tho little town,
around tho porch and tho house, and the
tragedy developed beforo roc In nil He
be faif 0
horrible details the parlor lighted up:
Slsney seated in a rocklug-chalr : his
daughter In another room, within hear
ing distance: Stanley with his back to
the front wall next to the porch ; the
aaInn In tho darknes outside, at
tempting to peer through the wire screen
and curtain, nnd perhaps agitating the
latter with a touch, nnd attracting the
victim's nttcntlon, so that ho said "Is
there not some one on the porch, Stan
ley?" tho lifting or the curtain by that
personage (who.c memory was bad be
fore, nnd eyc-slght treacherous then);
a llnh transient and luminous nnd a
loud report, a dark room and a corpse
mangled and bloody; the flight of two
men down the road and through alley!,
in their stocking feet, past Graham's
mills, In the direction of Crab Orchard
creek, through the mud nnd gloom
and rain drops from dripping trees, on
Into the settlements In Williamson county
perhaps west of Cartervlllc, and per
haps east of Cartcrvillc. o matter It
was out into the settlcmcntB where the
vendetta was born.
at tin: HOTEL,
kept by Charles Gager, I met n young
man whose personnels and manners de
noted city lite. He was preparing to
leave Cartervllle owing to Implication in
acts Hint were obnoxious to the night-rider
who hover around that small, disa
greeable and scraggy place.
"Are you afraid to life out there ?" was
my question, in response to a short nar
rative as to the condition of things at
Cartervllle.
"No not In the day-time; but when
night comes on, a resident of Cartervllle
who has had any disagreement with any
of thece fellows, leels a little lonesome,
and sleeps uncomfortably. It has been
demonstrated that they mean business.
A dark night, a good gun, and a shadow
of an enemy to slioot at, and murder is
committed unless a special 1'rovldenc;
protects the intended victim.''
The hotel-kccpvr, a good-natured Ger
man, said that he was the first man who
reached SInity after he received the fatal
tliot. He found him in a rocking chair,
dead : blood covered his body, his head
was thrown back, hands rested upon his
knees, and a ghastly wound was visible
in his breast.
"It was a fearful sight. Mr. Ocelot," re
marked .Mr. Gager. tlio landlord.
"Do you think the concussion put out
the lamp?"
"No. sir: the lamp was too far away."
"What about the man Stanley?"
Here a tall, dark-featured Individual,
wearing a red neck tie. beaver hat, and
box-toed bootti, joined in the conversa
tion. " n him, sir ; he should have been
arreted find made to tell all about it."
"Vou suspicion Mr. Stanley?" I said.
"Suspicion him? I seldom ever ewtar
but d n him, he should liave been
swung up by the neck until ho confessed
all about it. He has a bad record a d d
bad record, sir."
OS hCNDAY EVENING
I visited, in company with Mr. ItobarU,
iii old resident ot Wllllamcon county,
living between Carbondale andMurphys
Ijoro. After a xeneral conviT-ation tut to
his crops, I remarked :
"Lively times in .Iackon and Wllllara
on rounUes."
"Very unfortunate. Knew both Slsney
and Spencc. Clever men. Expwt-il to
hear of the asaslnatlou or fclsney."
" Whv and by whom?"
A sinlle answered this bold question.
Now." I said, "you know a much
about thee troubles as any man In the
countv. I want a history of these
thlngi."
"Vou can t set them Irons me; I tell
you that right here. I have never been
mixed up in that feud, and will not run
the risk ol getting in it now."
We left this gentleman and drove to
Murphysboro. Gained no Information
there that was worthy of not', and In the
dusk of the evening returned to Carbon
dale. anJ that night, In the hotel heard
at least six dilferent versions of the ven
detta. nOAnDKl THE TRAIN",
destined to Marlon on Mond iy morning
eany. Among me pasengern lounu me
Hon. Win. .1. Allen. Jutfire Crawford,
and the .Messrs. Washburn. The train
moved away trom the depot at Carbon
dale and entered a country where the
soil appeared rich and productive. Oc-
catlonly we would dasti through little
strip of forest, suggestive of ambuscades
and deadly shots, for wc were fast get
ting AMONG Tllf. ASSASSINS
or Into that precinct where they had be
come a terror. A short, nervous whis
tle, a lew jolts, and the train was In Car
tervllle. At this point three men entered
the car where I sat. A gentleman seated
close to me tapped my shoulder, whls-
I"-'T g.
mo uuinucrs
"Three ot them?''
"No: the tall ones. The other the lit
tle fellow Is Doc Macarty, tho landlord
of that house," pointing out a dingy,
two-story frame. "He Is tho right bower
of tho Hiillliiens, and those faces at the
upper windows belong to the uuiuner
crowd."
1 hese. then, are some of thu despera
does of the vendetta ?"
"Tenncseean all of them except
Doc Macart v. Relieve he Is an Illlnolsau,
and once practiced medicine in this region
oi tlio country; out, since uie irouuies
beiran he has Kent a sort oi hotel and
drinking place, and is well patronized by
John Uulliiier and his crowd."
At that moment we reached Cralnv 1 e.
almost a duplicate of Cartervllle in ap
pearance an uncouth, patched-up town.
nie very spot lor a grauu carouse aim
light among reckless men and for a
midnight murder.
"There there," said my communica
ho comnanlon nolntliiL' to a two-etorv
. . . - U . . ., . T
house with cnu I routing tuo rauroau, "is
where Spenco was murdered."
"Did ho belong to the vendetta?" 1
asked.
"No : ho was friendly to both oatles
Tho day before ho wss assassinated Dill
Leinmu. oi (jaroonuaic. wits to nave
given him a largo sum of money ; but,
owiuir to Sncnco'd excessive drinking.
Bill retained it. So mo say he was killed
for mouey."
What is your opinion?"
"You seo (I must speak lower those
fellows may near me), Slsney was burled
out hero, and tho people in attendance
stopped at Spcnco'u store. Ho was drink
lug at tho time, and spoke rather plain
about tho shooting of blsney for a great
friendship existed between him and Sls
ney. That night Spcnre was riddled
with bullets, and the next day they
planted him In Hurricane grave-yard."
The train was now under way for Ma
rlon, lt destination. Stepping over to
tho Hon. W. J, Allen, I entered Into n
conversation with him in reference to
court matters. Ho said that tho court at
Marion was an adjourned one, owing to a
failure on thu part of tho sheriff or clerk
to summon a jury, each contending that
It was tho duty of the other. Tho rco
ord of two of tho most important chwi-
0
eery cases had been lost In the recent lire.
'l Jiese ho considered an important toss.
"Do yon think Cagel will bo tried this
term, Judge?"
"He should be but it Is nld he will
make some Important revelations In ref
erence to the troubles ot the county thnt
will niter tils position materially."
Marion was reached ; a village seeming
to rest on a knoll. It Is compocd ofu
public square, around which brick nnd
frame buildings have been erected.
Thence streets branch out In to tho sub
urbs that feather down to tho shrubbery
and underbrush margining the timber
lands. It Is the county seat of S llliam
son, nnd has about 1,200 Inhabitant.
THE BLUB TAIL FLY.
Here 1 commenced my duties of Inves
tigation and research, and before lotig
stumbled upon a character Mirion
popular druggist, Hundley, brother-ln-law
to Joh Allen, a wit, line Judge of
whiskey, a voluble Ulker. and a true typo
ol the western genius. Tall, portly, with
a rubicund face, rubious nose, a serio
comic expression of countenance, nu as
sumed swagger jmt to keep one Im
pressed aud you lime Hundlcv.
"You're one or them paper fellows, nre
you? Go light with us. You never
write the truth anyhow. Had a paier
here myself; Brown was Its editor.
Wanted to drink more wlilskv than my
self. Shut down on him. Imink now
as I ever get. There's Washburn you
know Washburn, the editor, don't you?
Good fellow, but not democratic sorter
grangy not the true blue democrat.
Made a speech down at Shake Rag
against old man Washburn, and tore
him all to pieces. Kelt iny way; saw It
took; then put thu blue-tail lly on him.
Going to start my paper again."
"What will you call It?" I asked.
"The Blue-Tail Fly,' sin don't want
any or your fmcy names. Won't sting,
but will breed a worm. Know Oberly,
John? Why, certainly. Met him at the
Anna convention. Asked Josh Allen,
before he was put in Humiliation for con
gress, how matters stood dowu in Alex
ander between film and Tom Wilson,
Judgn Green and Oberly. Josh said,
That' my atlalr ;' ulktushorl about it.
Knew that it wouldn't do to force a nom
ination, and have Oberly, with the Bulle
tin, after his tall. Watched Tom Wlhon
aud Oberly like a blue-tail lly. Hartzell
was withdrawn. Then Tom Wilson rose
up, with his rotund paunch shoved out.
and thumbs in his su-peiidcrr-, and looked
worse than a blue-tail lly. He just clap
ped Hartzell back into nomination, and I
saw that the blue-tail tly was after Josh,
and 1 took the liberty to withdraw Josh's
name trom before the convention.
Couldu't aflbrd to have him slaughtered
alter getting tho nomination. A fellow
trom Mound City, a lawyer Watklns
rose up in that convention and went for
me worse ban a blue-tall fly."
While this amusing conversation was
taking plncv mid I was about to broach the
vendetta subject, John Bulliner entered
the drug store. I w as introduced to him,
and the party adjourned to a little room
in the rear of the store, aud all took chol
era medicine. That's what Bulliner
called it. During conversation, I told
iixJliner my business and chatted undls
turbeu wan t,i, ,or tollu. tjm(.. u11(j.
ley had been out, ana on returning,
and overhearing a portion .or thu talk.
saUl :
Seo tiere. Mr. Ocelot. It U snlil nonntn
are afraid to sny here what thev think, lor
fear ol ; assaslimtlon. I y wfiat 1 think,
and what I please don t 1, .tolm':'' ad
dressing milliner; "ami wimt nm tia.y
ifolnir to do about It?"
'oi are not afraid of bullets then,
Mr. Hundley?" l saiu.
We? No, sir! Tut the blue-tall lly
on them. Whv, Bulliner and the Hen
dersons, and the Sisucys, and Kussclh,
are doing no harm. It's only a matter of
time. Dog eat dog. They are killing
each other otVas fast as they can. Afraid
of them? No, sir!"
"Have you ever received any letter
threatening your lile, Mr. Iliiudly!" I
hiquired.
"I've got one in my sate mat you
would liko to have for the Timet. I'd
give a fltty-dollar bill to find the man
who wrote It."
As he spoke he commenced opening
the safe. Turning to Bulliner, he said :
"John, I want you to understand
there's no money in this safe."
Bulliner seemed to enjoy the Joke, and
Hundley produced n paper that had been
carefully folded and laid away for some
time. It was addressed to the " President
of the Legislature," signed " Many Citi
zens," aud dated at Marlon. The chl
rography was good, but the orthography
was lnirfect evidently Intended for
deception. It related to tho proposed
iu,uw appropriation lor tne capture ami
conviction of the assassins of Williamson
county, and alluded to a former S10.000
fraud through whiskey and soldiers'
bounties, and a steal of $1,000 from a
railroad. I asked who this bold letter re
ferred to, when Hundley, In a very Im
pressive tone of voice, said :
That letter means me, and I'd give a
flflVHlollar bill to tind tho man who wrote
U" Well, you did steal the $1,000," said
Bulllucr.jestlngly.
" Don't deny that ; but I'd give fifty
dollars to know who wrote that letter."
"Sure you didn't steal the $10,000?"
continued Bulliner.
" No, Sir ! Perhaps the blue-tall fly took
it. Just tlfty dollars, gentlemen, lor the
author of that little scurrlllous, contempt
ible letter." , ,
We took more cholera medicine, theu
left tho Jovial Hundley to his iron safe, his
cholera medicine, and his blue-tall lly. I
received no vendetta news from the
EXCESSIVELY VOLUBLE HUNDLEY.
Tho next personage I met was a gentle
man who claimed Marlon as his birth
place. Vou know all the tircum.Mances re
lating to the troubles lu Williamson?"
' Yes ; know all the parties. There's
John Bulliner," pointing toward him;
' bis family has been persecuted. Now,
I will tell you something that may alter
your opinion In this affair If you have
any.
rHEVIOL'fl TO THE VENDETTA
Old Isaac Vnncll, a man aged about 70
years, was taken trom his homo by about
eighteen or nineteen dlsgulwtl men, and
hung. The cause attributed for this ter
rible deed was 'harboring a woman who
had eeparated from her husband.' He
was first notllled by letter to discard the
woman, hut failed to do so. This was in
tho tall ofl872, betoro the commencement
of the vendetta. Six men were arrested
for tills rrlnio. nnd old Jim Henderson unit
a man named Stewart Culp were wit
nesses. Those tried were discharged by
tho lower courts. The United States
marshal arrested some ol the number and
took them to Springtlelil, and while the
trial tens pending Henderson and Culp
were both assassinatod. Henderson was
kllli'il Hki. tin u-iih shot in the tlclil. in
tho tall, Stewart Culp, age l 00, was re
turning from Do Soto to hid home In
- 1 Franklin county, In a wagon, and, while
yet divide ol Wllllanif on county, wnf thol
trom tho bush bv nn assassin, and Instant.
ly killed. Tho team took the wngou and
dead body home. These murder were
certnlnly the result ol' tho hanging of
Vnncll. Yet John Bulliner, who was In
Tennessee when Jim Henderson was
killed, is generally considered guilty of
his murder. I for one do not believe It."
"What do you think of the IIendcron-V'
