One correspondent has reminded this ter of two families who in particular® were famous for the manner in which . they fought with each other on every chance. Each had a wide connection . and all relatives were impressed mt,m service, | he had happened to be in and both were formidable battlers. By chance they wound up in the same employment one winter and naturally the matter of kingship had to be settler. They tried early in the winter to establishn prezsedence but the fight was pretty much of a draw. On several other occasions they clashed inconclusively in Momeric struggles and when spring came and they returned to their farms in the Valley thre was pretty bad blood between them. The feud was kept up and nourished not only by the young ment but by the old and the womenâ€" folk and in time it grew into formidâ€" uble proportions. It was finally ended by the scattering of the families into the west and the north in the great migration which took place about 25 years ago. Legend has it that the trouble started away back in the early days when two young men had a fight in a lumber camp. Each of them had striâ€" ven to be the "bully" of â€"whatever camp Fighting in those days was not conâ€" sidered disgraceful as it is now; in fact it was secretly a matter of consideraâ€" ble pride to have the reputation of beâ€" ing a good battler. But a man who set himself up as a champion led a vastly active life. There were too many othâ€" er candidates top ermit him to enjoy er candidates to permit him to enjoy peacefully his record. Frequently an occasion would present itself when an aspirant for the title would appear. The usual course of events was for some young and stimulated husky to approach the local pride with some such remark as: " I hear that you are a pretty good man" and from that point on the action was swift and conâ€" clusive. Some of the names mentioned by correspondents are still remembered in the region. There was one man, a big quiet farmer who was much respected in his neighborhocod and who ordinarily looked and acted as peaceful as could be. But when he got excited he was a bearcat. His pacific appearance and quiet manner fooled many the buck who thought he could take him. The strange part of it was that he did not like fighting but his reputation kept forcing him into action. It was really unfortunate because he was always so ashamed of himself when he polished off another candidate. For many years these fracases resulted in nothing worse than a few bruises or discolored eyes,.

But then‘ some shrewd legal mind conceived the idea of developing this field and the fun was largely over. When a man was liable to pay a fine every time he went off the deep end he naturally did not take so many chances. One reader reminds us that all the fighting done in that part of the country was not so innocent. He recalls that. on some occasions dangerous weapons, such as knives, were used but he is careful to say that such tactics were not followed by the Irish who eviâ€" dently felt that the fists were good enâ€" ough to cover the situation. He reinâ€" inisces about one expedition upon which he and several of his young neishbors engaged one night. They had heard that a dance was to be held in one of the nearby settlements where the people were not Irish and, on that account alone were somewhat looked down upon. It was the belief of the lads that one Irishman could lick a whole houseful of any other nationality. With this idea in mind the group deciâ€" ded to visit the dance, grab the girls from the other boys and in general run the affair . to suit ~themselves. The foreigners were at first very polite, somewhat flattered apparently at the visit but when the Irish began to get bossy resentment was quick to appear. Dancing he noticed that most of the settlement men had slipped out‘ of the room, leaving the invaders and the woâ€" men almost alone on the floor. Presently the fiddler stopped playing and went out, too, A voice shouted for one of the young Irish to come outside, Doing so he was grabbed in the darkâ€" ness and given a good clouting. The others rushed to his assistance and were met with a barrage of cordwood which did a lot of damage They were fortâ€" unate to get their horses and beat a reâ€" treat before somebody was killed. There were repercussions, as the next time a dance was held in the foreign settleâ€" ment a whole crowd of young men, looking for trouble and they certainly got it in the form of knives. One of them was killed and that put the cap on it. Songs were written about the deed which are still remembered. Songs were written in the Valley about outstancing events and circulatâ€" ed widely. Such things as murders mwere ineat for singers and poets but accidental deaths, a run of family misâ€" fortune, even a departure of a family for the west, were celebrated in meter, All Work Fully Guaranteed Note!

One line was: "A rotten limb fell down on him and felled him to the ground." The words were set to what was known as ‘"Comeallye" music, the most doleful ever heard on the Ameriâ€" can Continent. It got its name from the first line of the song which invariably was: ‘‘Come All Ye Jolly Shanty Boys Till I a Story Tell"., The range of notes was very limited and the manner of singing was whiningly plaintive., â€" A trained singer, upon first hearing these comeallyes, was prone to burst out laughing. It would, seem incredible that anyone would deliberately sing in that way but to the local artist the method was a classic one. A man or woman who was a regular practitioner of the art would know dozens of these old ditties, all hitcthed to the same sad tune. The sinzing was done without accompaniment possibly because no inâ€" strument had ever been invented which could produce the sounds required to harmonize with the voice. Th man or woman would sit there solemnly with hands in lap and a set expression on the face, reeling out one after another a string of sad poems, mostly connectâ€" ed with local tragedies, Twenty or thirâ€" ty verses would be devoted to the theme and the listeners always knew when the end was approaching because the singer spoke the last line in a flat tone.
