ABNER DIES IN KENTUCKY FEUD
Scion of Prominent Family Killed in Quarrel With Neighbor
Beattyville, Ky., April 15 - Clay Thomas was arrested in Owsley county today and lodged in jail here for the murder of Jesse Abner in this county Thursday night. Thomas says Abner struck him with a rock and came near knocking him off his horse, and that he drew his revolver and shot him. The killing is the result of the Hargis-Cockrell feud, in which John Abner, a relative, is a central figure. Abner belonged to a prominent family, his uncle, William Abner, being one of the wealthiest men in this section.
