A Murder in the U-Haul Family
</hdr>
<body>
<p> At about 2 a.m. last Monday, Eva Shoen, 44, was shot to
death in her family's mountain resort home outside Telluride,
Colo. The killing had the signs of a professional hit: the
gunman managed to slip into the house without disturbing seven
guard dogs and Shoen's sleeping children. But what was the
motive? Police have not ruled out a possible link to the feud
between Shoen's husband Sam, 45, and other family members who
are battling for control of the Phoenix-based U-Haul
International truck-rental empire (1989 sales: $1 billion).
</p>
<p> The power struggle began four years ago when patriarch L.S.
Shoen began turning the U-Haul dynasty over to his 12 children.
Since then, son Sam has become embroiled in an interfamily
management dispute that reached the level of fisticuffs at a
1989 meeting. The elder Shoen is now attempting to regain
control of the company and bring the feud to an end.
