ono wero choosing ho could not' pick
ono mora suitable.
Tho cccno of this Oklahoma feud Is

Ilrcsislo is In ono of the most pro
ductive loculltlotf ot Oklahoma and is
settled with a thlrfty class of people.
Rut with all there still exluta this feud
among tho citizens of this community.
Tho leaders of this disagreement aro
R. M. Ilresslo who is tho leading
fanner of his faction In that locality;'
Johni Andrews Hoy JfcCoy Do.

this community. Tho other factlwi 18
composoil ot J .A. Mcdows John Nixon
Johri Cummins HIrscbel Cox and Bill

eral years. There 1 a difference be-
tween tho factions that no ono seems
to cure to explain. Tho only thing Is
that when ono faction advocator ona
proposition It Is tlio solo aim of thin
other to opposo It. Jf only bocauso tho
rmo 1 for It anythkig to bo against
tho othor faction. This feud has al-
rondy gono so far thnt thoy havo had
ono shooting and more may follow.

whon It wns discovered that tho Bros-

There tho Umo waa extended and tho
