But just as he had completed arrange- ments for his departure, the old feud that had raged around his family, the Hargises, the Deatons and the Whites broke out again, Planned to Quit the Feud. Then he decided to stay. Following the death of Judge James Hargis at the hands of his son, Beach, Callahan essayed to quit the feud busi- ness. He retired to Crockettesville, a mountain hamlet on Long Creek, where he owned a general store, withdrew from politics as much as a Kentuckian could, and let it be understood that he was not looking for _ trouble. But trouble was looking for him, and it has been looking for him at intervals ever since. There were many accounts that had not been balanced, according to the view of families that had suffered at the hands of the Hargis-Callahan clan. There were the Deatons, for. in- stance, Jim Deaton died suddenly on Long Creek after an ostensible mis- understanding with some of Calla- han’s men about logging privileges. Deaton, for some reason or other, was known, old friends ceased to visit the Luckey home. Donnell asked her to name these friends. After some hesita- tion she named Mr. and Mrs. Victor Rhodes. She said Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes did not state'their reason for discontinu- ing their visits, but she presumed it was because of Luckey’s habits. : “T never told anyone about my hus- band’s faults,’”’ she said. ‘“‘They were a secret between me and my God.”’ Traveled Third Class. She was asked about her complaint that she had poor stateroom accom- modations on the ship and that she had to travel third-class on English railroads.

CHICAGO, May 4.—Three arrests were made today in the newspaper strike as the result of what the police declare was a plot to begin another day’s series of slugging and attacks on newsboys. The prisoners are drivers for the Daily So- cialist who formerly worked. for the Tribune. The arrest of the trio followed a day and night of incipient riots, sluggings, threats to dynamite the home of a union pressman, who opposed the violation of the contract between the union and publishers, and the subsequent strike wf the stereotypers. Circulation Manager Shoots, Max Annenberg, circulation man- ager for the Tribune, suspected the three men were plotting an attack on some Tribune employes, ap- proached them and asked that they move on. All of them made a rush for Annenberg, who becked up and drew a magazine revolver and fired four shots at the men. The police later captured the men.

Miss Davis filed suit on an oral con- tract, and testified that Mrs. Bakewell took but one instruction. Justice Krue- ger decided the case in favor of Miss Davis principally because Mrs. Bake- well did not personally appear in court to defend it. Justice Krueger heard the testimony in the case Monday, and handed down his decision at the opening of court Saturday. After announciygg his’ decision, Justice Krueger said: “Mrs. Bakewell failed to appear in court to defend the suit. There was practically nothing before me except the un- contradicted testimony of Miss Davis.

Two hundred employes of Stone Bros. & Co., who have been on a strike for 10 days, created a disturbance today in front of the company’s plant on the West Side. | The police, responding to a riot call, were obliged to use their clubs to dis- perse the gathering. Ten of the strikers were arrested. a Before that, Hargis was killed, but Callahan remained, and in the fullness of time the Deaton-Callahan' feud was on, with the Smiths aligned with the Deatons, through ties of blood, and the Whites and Abners, old-time Hargis retainers, standing by Calla- han, From time to time men have been killed and wounded, Several attempts have been made to assassinate Calla- han. Once there was a pitched battle at Callahan’g store between the Dea- tons, headed by Willie, and Callahan at the head of a party of his friends. Several were wounded and a Deaton mule was killed. The Deatons might have overlooked the wounds of the men, but they affected to be greatly aggrieved by the death of the mule They demanded reparation which Cal- lahan considered out of proportion to the value of the muie, and refused settlement, and relations were worse strained than ever, Shot Once Before in Store. Another time Callahan was shot as he stood in the door of his store by an en- emy concealed on the opposite moun- tain side, and for a time it was thought he would dle. At still another time the Callahans and the Deaton-Smiths intrenched them- selves in the Breathitt County court- house and the Hargis store and a gen- eral battle was imminent, but there was mediation and a peace pact was formed. Then there was peace for a few months and Callahan was planning to move away when, last August, John Abner was killed tn the streets of Jackson.

She said she had a case pending against Charles Sutter, an electrical contrac- tor, for $300 which will come up for: tria] Tuesday. Mrs. Bakewell, after Miss Davis filed the suit against her, made _com- plaint against the water curist to the Prosecuting Attorney and had a warrant sworn out for her arrest on a charge of practicing medicine with- out a license, Miss Davis was arréyted on a similar charge made by the Board of Health last August, but was tried and acquitted. “I am going to try to have this case tried May 20,” said Miss Davis, “Judge Falkenhainer has continued it until Oct. 21 because Mrs. Bakewell, who igs required as a witness, expects to be away from St. Louis all summer.
