Two Fights The AVife of One of the

Freda Ward's Murderess.
1'l.XKVli.LE, Ky., Jan. 30. A factional
feud that promises to rival in bloodshed
ding the famous Hat field-McCoy, or any
of the other deserate factional wars
which have made this section of Kentucky
notorious, has broken out in the southern
part of this county. The scene is a wild
mountainous locality known as South
America, and is about eighteen miles
from this, the nearest railroad point.
Owing to the inaccessibility of the place
particulars of the fight are hard to obtain.
Three men have been killed since last
Saturday. Their names are Manuel
Parton, l,ee Davis and Will Jones. The
fight is between lierry Turner, a notorious
outlaw and murderer, who lias killed more
men than any other one man w ho has ever
terrorized this section, with a strong gang,
and the Part on faction.
Peculiar Claim or the Parton Ciang.
The Parton side is a strong one and
claim to have "the law on their side," but
sofarthry have had the hot end of t he
light. Parton was killed Saturday. He
hud essayed to capture Horry Turner, dead
or alive, and posted himself at a conveni
ent distance from a house in which
Turner was fortified with a number ot
his gang. It was probably Partous inten
tion to shoot Turner at the first oppor
tunity, but the latter had too much cun
ning. The outlaw discovered the where
abouts of his won id-be slayer and at an
unguarded moment, succeeded in drawing
a iH'ad on the latter and sent a ball from
his Winchester crashing through Part oil's
head. f
(Partly Devoured by Hoes.
The B'idy of Parton was allowed to lie in
the wofds for four days, his friends being
afraid to attempt to rescue it. When it
was finally taken away it had been partly
devoured by hogs. This murder only fired
the Parton faction to more desperate war
fare against the Turner side, and on
Wednesday they made a bold attempt to
avenge the death of one of their men. The
fight was disastrous to the Partons. as two
more of their number were killed. The
Partons had surrounded t he Turner strong
hold, lct instead of taking the army were
themselves taken in.
Tfce Turners Are Wide Awake.
They were ' fired upon from the Turner
house, and before they could realize that
their presence had been discovered lee
Davis and Bill Jones, two of the leading
men of the Parton faction, had been pierced
with ballets from the deadly Winchester.
More tian 100 shot -were exchanged, and
some ol the Turner faction are said to
have b.n wounded. There is talk of or
ganizidjg a posse of officers from this coun
ty and fom Clairborne county, Tenn., to
attenvptVhe capture of Turner, and a big
fight wWl undoubtedly follow.

MISS. BARTON WANTS MONEY.
It Will Cost S75.000 to Send ltrlier to
Russia.
Washington. Jan. 30. Miss Clara liar
ton, president of the Hed Cross, has issued
an appeal to the American people to con
tribute funds to carry donations of grain
to the starving Russian people. In it sht
says: "We know positively that these
people are needing and suffering in degree
and numbers up to the extent of all state
ments made; that unless greatly helped
t he worst is jet to come; that, every day
their present supply diminishes; that
winter is upon them and before them;
that even their planted seed grain i
frozen in the ground; their crop is lost;
the spring brings only bare fields and the
summer no harvest. We know that our
own granaries are filled as never before;
Kgypt has corn, and that by the freedom
of heaven and not by seven years of saving
and economy.
Everything Ready Kxeept the Cash.
"Already the free trains wait on the
tracks to bear their burdens to the sea
board: the shins are iu the harbor; the
wealth is with the people: full-handed, full
fed, and prospered beyond all others, shall
the ships be chartered or shall they wait.
Arrangements for receiving, storing, load
ing, and making up cargoes in New York '
are already made on the best possible terms
with the oldest shipping houses. Accepted
agents are ready to accompany or to pre
cede the first cargo that goes out. and aid
in the distribution. lurarrangements en
able us to say that will ship, includ
ing all attendant rict!scs, four cnriMes of
food from New York to Libeau. on the
Haltic, which port is ojien to steamers raid
rarely closed in any winter."
We Second the lot:mi.
"lf a suggestion could be pardoned it
would be that of sysicniaiic tiivision of the
burden of providing this shipment be
tween the great eastern points of lioston,
the representative of New F.iiglaud; New
York, of New York state, and Philadel
phia, for Pennsylvania and adjoining
states; STi.OnO" each would le so light as to
scarcely be felt. The grain contributions
waiting in the wet would le set free; the
ships be chartered and on their way, and
our people relieved of a i-r plexing prob
lem. 1 would add that Messrs. Kiggs and
Company, Washington, have kindly con
sented to receive any funds sent to them
for account of the Red Cross."

As the work of straightening out his af
