JONES-WRIGHT FUED.
Took 50 Lives to Bring Leaders
to Senses.
i Kent tiekinus W ho Fought for Seven
Years, Spnul Days of Hetireinent
As Old ( limns.
The principals of the Jones-Wright
fued war which waged during the
SO's in Letchor and Knott counties iti
I tho state of Kentucky, are now*
friends. It took a death-dealing
light that lasted over seven years and
| cost the lives of at) men to bring
these men to their senses. Now they
live in retirement in their country
homes and spend much of their times
:is old chums. John \V. Wright was
tin- leader of the Wright facliou.
H?? is living on the headwaters of
the lOlkhorn creek in Letchor county,
with ills wife and two children, lie
receives his sustenance from the proceeds
of a J00-acre mountain farm.
Once in a while he goes after a desperate
criminal and captures him. lie
will not go after si fugitive from justice
unless there is si high price on
his head. Caleb Jones lives in Knott
county. Roth men are now f>0 years
of age and have retired from active
life.
It wps in the early TO's that the
bitter warfare between the Jones sind
Wright factions began. The Iiest encounter
occurred on the morning of
July lb, 1882, in the town of Hindman,
Knott county. Roth Jones and
Wright were backed by 2f> brave,
tried, trusty and true men. It was a
tight to the finish. lOach side loss
heavily. Two days later another battle
followed after each side had been
reinforced nnd wlti,
- ,? n n il lllllllltions
??r war. Ten men were killed.
Men of each aide of the fend were
eontinnnny in danger of meir lives.
Comparative quiet followed for a
year, when Rescue McCoy was shot
from ambush .at oone . ..I. lie was
one of Wright s most trusted men.
A challenge followed and an encounter
on the headwater of Trouble
creek. The last battle was fought
on the morning of May 4, 1889, on
Cross Fork, Knott county. In the
midst of the tight Jones and Wright
met face to face. Neither would give
In. Finally the two came to an agreement.
They shook hands and made
up. Since that time they have been
fast friends.
Wright still follows his vocation as
i detective, lie is a dead shot and is
credited with having killed 18 men
n his lifetime, but was never arrested
for a single killing. When a boy
of 16 he shot and killed Floyd *iall,
localise the two could not decide
which was the best shot in the counry.
Wright was a leader against the
Ku-Klux element. In the battles with
llie desperadoes he was in the lead.
ioitt was never wounded, though not
one of his trusty comrades is living
to enjoy the quiet life which the former
leader and lighter is enjoying.
While in Hawkins county, Tenn., carrying
on a moonshine business.
Wright says he killed three men
md soon after his return and before
the fued with Jones broke out, he
killed two men who had been stealing
horses in his neighborhood, lie
says he has not killed all the men
credited to him, but that in all his
lighting he has never shot a man in

ICalrs To ("hick Springs. ,
It will be gratifying to the friends!
of the State Teacher's association to I
learn ttint reduced rates of one and
'one-third fares for the round trip
have been granted to the meeting in
June at Chick Springs by the railroads
of the State on the certificate
plan, provided as many sis 100 persons
present certificate receipts sit
the gathering. As there is little
doubt that many more teachers than
100 will be present, the reduced rates
will be assured. No reduction will
be made when the fare paid is less
than seventy-five cents.
In order to get the benefit of these
rates, those in attendance upon the
meeting must secure certificate recepits
from the sigent selling the
tickets, which, when properly vised
at Taylors, the station to which tickets
should be purchased, will entitle
the holder to a one*-third fare for the
return trip.
Certificate reciepts ran be secured
from all points in this State, includi
11K Augusta, from June 2 1, to June
2(5. which will be honored on or before
June 20, 1007. Persons who
wish to stay at the springs a longer
time than that here designated can
of course do so by purchasing regular
summer resort excursion tickets sold
by all the railroads at reduced prices.
As previously announced, members
of the association will be granted a
special' rate of $1.50 a day at the
hotel under the authorities of the
Chick Springs management, a membership
card being necessary to secure
this reduction. This rate will
also apply to members who wish to
go to the association a few days before
the meeting or who wish to remain
a short time after tlie close of
the session.
Transportation rates from Taylors
I to the hotel will be 25 cents each way
for passengers, and the same rate
will be charged for trunks.
