This week in the Louisiana
Anthology. “A Bloody Vendetta in Claiborne
Parish,” in The Lake Providence Banner Democrat. "The
last murder in the bloodiest Vendetta in modern times was
committed the 20th day of August when Tom Kinder killed John
Ferguson on the road from Homer to Trenton. For three years
the fight has been on and twenty men have fallen in the
conflict. There are two local papers here, but their editors
have handled the incidents of the feud in a gingerly manner
for fear, I suppose, of getting a charge of shot or a warning
to leave town. For that reason nothing is known of it outside
of Claiborne parish. The parties from whom I gleamed the facts
for this article talked under their breaths and only on
conditions that their names be kept secret. They were actually
afraid of the few ruffians who perpetrate the vendetta, for
their blood is hot and there's no telling what they would do."
