MOUNTAIN FEUDS
■ ♦ — SHOOTING IN KENTUCKY TEN DEATHS Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. VANCOUVER, January 18. Feudal strife among Kentucky mountain families over the week-end resulted in ten people being killed and five wounded. Worship was in progress in the New Salem Church, twelve miles outside Louisville, when six mem met in the churchyard, and the roar of pistols caused the congregation to scatter. The aim of the men was so good that all six were left on the ground, four of them being dead. “They fought over the good name of a girl aged seventeen,” said Sheriff Steele, who predicted further clashes. Two hours after the first shooting two men grasped hands and shot each other dead, and four others were killed when the relatives of the previous victims clashed. ■*
