The Klines Still Fighting.

Brook Reporter. Another chapter of the celebrated Kline Brothers’ feud was enacted this week and last. P. A. Kline secured an order from the court for John Kline’s ejectment from the farm he has been occupying for a number of years, and the order was given to Sheriff Wildisin for execution last Wednesday. Sheriff Wildisin complied with the order of the court and turned the family out of doors and set out a greater part of the household goods and other chatties on the public highway during the day, and Just in time for the heavy rain to soak the goods. On Thursday night the heavy “east winds” replaced the goods Jnto the house and other chatties at their accustomed places. Friday the sheriff returned and finished the setting out process and turned over possession of the farm to Al, who, with Mike,"took possession of the premises Mid being afraid of the return of the “east winds,” took a fair sized arsenal and barricaded the house, and held possession without being molested until Monday evening, when they left for home. About 9:30 Monday evening the bouse caught fire from causes unknown and was burned to the ground. At present Al. is still in possession and is making arrangements to farm the crops planted by John.
