Ponca, Neb.,Jan 20.-- A feud of long standing between the families of Westbrook and Anson Gibson came to a bloody climax yesterday.
Gibson and his son, while hauling wood yesterday, encountered the Westbrooks, father and son. Jim Westbrook opened fire, the ball taking effect in one of Gibson's mules. The fight became general and all the combatants were more or less wounded. Tom Westbrook died early this morning.
