War on Stinking Creek over a pig and a mistress
The Barboursville Ky News reports a feud between John Slusher and William Smith on Stinking Creek triggered by a dirty pig title and escalated into a clan clash. Murders numbered two, a peace bond failed, and a militia march ended with calls for restraint. The piece mocks the triviality and urges burying the hatchet for peace.
