WEST VIRGINIA DEVELOPMENT
During the past summer and autumn
the Baltimore SUN gave a great deal
OF space to letters and reports from,
its stsffcorresponde ats describing the
industrial progress which West Vir-
ginia to making and aiding the efforts
of our people in every way at its COM
mand. The development now going
on In West Virginia is a matter i'm
Portant enough to challenge attention,
but no journal out Of the State seems
to have seen II with the friendly re-.
gard OF the Baltimore SIN. Within
tie past few years the OHIO river boun.
Diary OF the State has been paralleled
with rail route, the West Virginia
Cectr Railroad has been construct.
cd; numerous rich coal fields have
been opened many towns have been
founded; various industries have been
started thousands Of people have es-
tablished themselves in comfortable
homes; thousands Of acres of land
have been brought under GUILTY. alton /;
and II the same progressiveness Is
continued . few years longer West
Virginia is bound to exert an influence
and power never exercised by the
State before. A good deal of the cap
ital employed in developing he States
resources is Baltimoreap, and many
interests of the Monumental City are
closely identified with West Virginia,
but Of them oil there is no more stead.
fast or friendly Influence than that
Of the Baltimore SUN.

The HATFrELps CAUGHT II

The HATFIELDs CAUGHT THE De-
TEcTIvEs.- A dispatch from Charles.
ton, this State. says:
"Word reaches here tonight that
Bud Avise and Cap Hatfield and q
number OF their friends, who have be.
come so notorious as partic; pants iu
the Hatfield.McCoy vendetta, laid q
trap for the detectives who are after
them, and last Friday captured Dan
Cunningham, Evans and smother de-
tec:ive, all CT the Eureka force of
this city.
From what can be learned the Hat
fields put out spy and coaxed the
detectives to certain point in the
mountains. near their homes in Lo-
gan county, and when tie detectives
came along compelled them 10 SUR
render. The Hatlields had procured
peace warrants and arrested the de-
tectives and took them TO Logan
Court House, where they are now
jailed awaiting bonds for their release.
They will be compelled to give bond
to keep the peace. This explains
why the Hatfelds were in Logan
Court House two weeks ago TO make
terms Of peace"
"The Ha' Fields have tn ned men
hunters. and have gotten out war
rents for Chief Burnett and w. G,
Baldwin, Of the Eureka Detective
Agency, Of this city, on the charge
of conspiracy TO arrest the Hatfieljs.
The warrants were taken out before
a justice of the peace Of Logan coun.
~. near relative of Hatfield. The
object Is said to be to give the Hat.
hel's chance to escape. Detective
Cunningham, whom the Ha.iields
dec YET aid arrested some days ago,
had hearing yes e-day. and ip do
faclt Of bal was sent 10 Log,n coun>
ty Jail to await tie action OF tue
grand jury. II is feared that great
trouble will grow out If this latest
move Of the Halfields.

grown sugar. The House discussed
the bill 10 admit Montana, Wash

bill Is a substitute for the Senate
