FAMED ALSUP-FLEETWOOD FEUD TAKES 200 LIVES IN 50 YEARS UNITED PRESS IN KANSAS CITY, MO MARCH 18, 1932
Death of Zeb Fleetwood and arrest of Bud Powell, charged with his assassination in the southeastern Douglas County a few days ago. Friday was seen as a signal to the Ozark neighborhood around Ava, MO, that the famous Alsup-Fleetwood feud has flared anew.
For half a century or more this feud has raged intermittently in Douglas County and more than 200 lives have been lost.
Zeb Fleetwood, who was 30 years old, was shot in the back as he was returning through the woods to the home of his father, recently arrested on charges of making whiskey, according to a special dispatch to the Kansas City Journal-Post. Bert Powell, who as placed in jail after he had surrendered to a justice of the peace, is 60 years old, and a relative by marriage to the Alsup clan.
March 5 a barn was burned on the farm of one of the Powells, and a fine span of mules burned to death.
A few days later the elder Fleetwood was captured by Powell and others, charged with moonshining, and when he was placed on trial at Ava, Powell was one of the main witnesses against him.
These incidents in a revival of a bitter rivalry which has been the Alsup and Fleetwood clans since Cival War days.
