The details of one of the moet horrible and blood-curdling fights and murder that hae ever occurred in. Burke county have been slowing coming to light today. They reveal old feuds, family difference and the tffects of blockade liquor. Lenoir Mull la oeaa, Andrew LeKever is eald to have about one chance in a hundred to recover, JJack LeFever, Tom Mull, Alf. Mull and Toole -Mull- are cut and beaten . . with heavy degree of Seriousness. Some of the participants of the fight are in the Itespltal, some in Jail, hut with those able to attend a hear ing and with What testimony hag been secured Solicitor R, 1. Huffman, who hu been examining witnesses and ' working on the case all day, has set ' the preliminary hearing for 10 o'clock . tomorrow morning. .;-; : vr As early as the facts can be secured and put together at this time it seems i that trouble between the lFever and Mull families has boen growing for some time. , The Mull family for a century or more have lived- five or all miles from Morganton between the town and the South mountain. The LAFeverera are neighbors. Mack la- i'ever and his son Andrew were em- pljyes at the state hospital, the latter being a truck driver for the institu tion. Tom Mull married a daughter of Mack IaFever and about a year, go Lenoir Mull and' another daughter of Mack LaFever were reported on . their way to Marion to get married but the father had them intercepted and prevented the marriage. It is also said that bad feeling had been en- gendered between Mack LaFever and . the Mulls on account of some disputes over land boundaries. - On Way to Saw MUX . Sunday afternoon Mack LaFever and his son Andrew went to the home : of Mike Branch who. lives about four miles from Morganton for soma pur' nose that has not at this time been 1 famed though the report is that thoy v era on their way to a saw-mill they nr. ,;ed In the neighborhood. While - they were there the story goes, Alf. ; Mull.! Toole Mull and the tatter's son Lenoir and Tom Mull came to the Branch home, ' Boon Toole, Lenoir ; ' and Tom Mull were in an "argument . with the younger LaFever that led to a tight. There is evidence it is tald that the Mulls were drinking but whether the LaFevers ware or not has not yet been brought out. In the three to one fight LaFever "was soon worsted an axe , being one of the implements used . against him, it is alleged. He was . beatea,and cut dangerously, Maok La j ever attempting to take his eon's part but Alf. -Mull, engaged him in a light and soon had him down. As soon as he naa recovered sufficiently to try to get away from the scene, it is - said, Mack - LaFever, supporting his . ,-. son, wnose wounds were very serious, started for home. They had gone about three hundred yards from the branch place when the younger La. 3''ever gave completely- out and the lather could get no- further with him, They were -resting by the -roadside trying to regain strength to go on, when all four of the Mulls who had been fighting with them at -; the Branch's reappeared, armed it is al leged, with a pistol, a shot gun and an axe.- It seems when they reached . their enemies that Alf Mull was , stirred with pity at the sun-i- f Andrew LaFever, and commanded Le noir Mull to leave him alone, idiui. lng it la said that he was nttarly dead anywaj', '- ' Turns on Kinsman At this, Lenoir Mull wheeled upon his kinsman with an open knife and he did so Alf Mull sent a pistol . bullet straight 'into the forehead of Lenoir and killed him instantly.

When it was over a terrible aight greeted the eyes of the neighbors who finally ventured close enough to see , what was happening. Lenoir Mull was burled this afternoon at ISother - church in the Mull neighborhood. Andrew Lafevera will probably die. The whole affair is one of the most . confusing when it comes to learning the details and causes for the trouble - wia ai ui same time one of the inoft shocking that ever occurred in the sommunlty. f Asheville Cltisen Bureau, 4 402 Merchants' Bank I Building, (y JULE B. WARREN.) Ilalelgh, Feb. 9. Sentiment among democrats in all parts of the state is crystallising for the nomination of Herbert Hoover for the democratic standard, bearer, according to infor mation that reaches the capital from many sources. There has been a very decided favorable reaction from the statement of the governor that Hoover was the most logical man to nil the place now occupied "Immortal crlef- lain." The chief of sins of the former food administrator, according to. those who are not warming up to nis nomina tion by the democrats, Is that once upon a time he voted trie republican ticket. It . Is pointed out, - however, that he likewise voted for Mr. Wilson and worked for his election. The party Irregularity, which makes the old guards shy at the suggestion of his nomination by the democrats, serves to boost him In the minds of a large number of other beople who are more interested In th' man than they are in the fact that he has voted the democratic ticket since the year of his majority ind has never scratch ed a ticket. There are some Independent souls who have openly stated that they 'In tended to vote for Hoover no matter whether he was nominated by the democrats or not; but the members of the party who continue to believe is the necessity of party rule, say they ere for the former food administra tor for the nomination of the demo crats. Of couse, failing to get the nomination, these men would vote the ticket made by the San Francisco convention. There isn't any doubt about the fact that there Is a strong sentiment In the state, and it prevails largely with the old guard, that McAdoo Is the man on whom the nomination should fall. They have been some. what worried over the magnitude the Hoover boom In the state is assum ing. Tne boost by the governor, which was one of the stronrest the iMew xortc world naa collected, he o ed fan tho Hoover fires in more than smouldering action. There Is drift ing into me capjioi reports that a number of counties are to reorganize Hoover clubs some time In the near ruture. That Is more than has been done for any of the other candidates.

(By JULE B. WARREN.) RALEIGH.' Feb. JtobertN. Pare, of Biscoe, and some of his friends will hold a conference here on Tues day for the purpose of discussing the plan of campaign which they hope to land for Mr. Page the nomination of the democratic party for the gover norship. The Page folks have said very Uttle about the conference, other than the proposition of naming the manager for the campaign would be discussed at this meeting. The num ber of people who will be called into the conference was not intimated. and there has been nothing dropped to Indicate that It would be as large as the delegation of 60 men wb came down for the Gardner conference, or would be a much smaller and more personal confab of the Page lead ers. For the past week Mr. Page has been searching Raleigh for office space in which to open up state head quarters tor his campaign. So far he has been unsuccessful in getting the offices but he will rent hotel rooms for' the time being, if that is necessary in order to get the Ral eigh headquarters opened at once. Page supporters declare that their man has been carrying on a very ef fective campaign from his home in Biscoe, without making a great deal of noise about it. Every man, inter ested In politics, who comes into Ral eigh from the outer sections of the state, tell of the Page letter cam paign. The Sand Hill candidate has been sending these personal letters to a mailing list that Is evidently com prehensive. With Max Gardner's selection of Judge J. Crawford Bi.Tgs as cam paign manager, and Page meeting) here on Tuesday for the purpose of selecting his campaign manager, all the candidates for governor are ac counted for. In the final plans for the campaign drive, except . Cameron Morrison, who has not yet completed his arrangements for running the campaign up to the Juno primary. Mr. Morrison has bee,n scheduled to come to Raleigh for the past two weeks for the purpose of conferring with his friends, but various things have prevented him getting here Lo cal Morrison men say, however, that he s expected daily now, and that when he comes he will have the plane pretty well mapped out for the fight. Many Complaints. j Despite the fact that provisions in both state and cltv flro Inspectors. State Fire Marshal James R. Young. says that hardly a day passes that some mailed complaint is not received of fire peril, which could not exist a day, it complaint was made to the mayor, or to an efficient bulldlnar and Are chief or inspector. Commission er Toung placed a ' double emphasis on the word "efficient."- Then he said that in aome cases investigation of complaints by the state department had shown that In two cities, at least. tnis omciai was but a salaried figure head. ' The latest complaint speci fied a dangerous fire peril in a loft business, involving dally waste' of in flammable material, removal of same not being made once a month. Com-1 plalnant said he prevailed on city in spector to investigate. He reported it a perfect fire trap, but stated he had ho authority to remedy It until he had reported on same to state insurance commissioner or Fire Marshal Tbung at Kaieign. The irate merchant neighbor wrote to know why this re port, made a month ago had not been acted on, saying conditions got worse every day and he was fearful that not only his laree department store. but a whole city block Would be burn ed If something wasn't done. The merchant received a prompt reply, saying no such report had ever come to the state Insurance department, for the law on ths subject was plain enough for any Inspector to read, even when running from a fire.
