A Talk with John Akeman - 1898

     Ned Callahan and Capt. Strong compromised their troubles in Jackson,
and in a few days Strong was killed.  Their excuse for that way of doing
was that Capt. Strong did the same way with the Amises.  He and John Amis
and old Wilson Callahan agreed to go home and go to work, and he would not
trouble them.  In two days, he had them killed.  At least it was only a
few days.  Old Wiley, Tom, Ause, and Bob Amis bundled up and left at once.
I don't think any of the Strong men were killed.  I do not remember that
any besides these were killed on the Amis side.  This lasted over a year. 
Strong kept his men around him.  The others did not have the means to
support their men in a body as Strong had.  Old John Deaton declared that
they killed 40 head of sheep for him during the war.
