THE HATFIELDs AT BAY.

is geographically region about 400 miles
wide and 500 miles long, destined by nature
10 be the last to be redeemed from natures
wilderness, and yet in the end to be the
seat of a far more diversified industry than
is possible to the lowlands.
To the region through all the century of
1T60-lS60 fled the criminals and the unfor-
tunates Of the more fertile lowlands. The
worst class of Tories fled there after the
revolution. Fraudulent and absconding
debtors found refuge there. Hardy and
honest hunters found their paradise there.
Invalids and good men of daring natures
found health and romance in the valleys.
The result was a singularly varied popu-
lation, and in no long time sort of dumb
war in politics and otherwise with the
lowlanders. AS slavery was strengthened
on the fertile lands the mountainecrs
tended toward abolitionist views. On all
economic issues they habitually opposed
the lowland sentiment. And finally when
the lovlands were almost unanimous for
secession the mountaineers became almost
unanimous for the Union.

own to settle. And they have settled

THE INTERVIEWER INTERVIEWED.
He Explains the Process Of Extracting
Information from Prominent People.

He ExpIains the Process OF Extracting
Information from Prominent People.
The interviewer himself has been
tracked down and subjected to the
pumping process he is SO fond of infiict-
ing on Others. Some persons, he says, it
is impossible to get at. AT the head OF
these was Lord Tennyson. He never
was interviewed in the legitimate sense
of the term, although a conversation
with him was once published by an
American, at which the venerable poet
was exceedingly angry. Mr.. Ruskin
has also decided objection to inter-
viewers in general. AS a rule novelists
are the best men to interview. They
seem to have the whole plot of their
confessions settled beforehand. Actors
are fairly good, and ladies are very diff
ficult to deal with.
interviewing actors invariably yields
q good crop of anecdotal matter, al
though, sad to relate, in many instances
the interviewer has had the same story
told to him as personal "reminiscences by
half dozen different individuals. Nor
does the deceit of some members of the
profession end there. One well known
actor. who is regarded as great lady
killer, made very elaborate preparations
for the interviewer's reception. The
dressing room was crammed with flow
ers, bonbons and little knickknacks
tastefully displayed. Little presents
from ladies'" said the actor. AT the end
of the week the interviewer dropped in
on the same actor unexpectedly, when
not vestige of a flower, bonbon OF
knickknack met his eye.

In 1887 Craig Tolliver had the two Logan
boys assassinated by his posse. Then the
county rose on him. Sheriff Hogg and
Boone Logan, a cousin of the victims, led
the volunteers who hunted him down and
killed him and several of his followers.
Now there is peace. Railroads run through
Bell, Breathitt and Rowan counties. The
mineral land syndicate has invaded every
mountain nook. There are newspapers in
Breathitt and Harlan, and three of them
in Bell The sale of whisky is forbidden
by vote of the people themselves in most
of the counties where feuds ragged. The
law is more respected, since violation of it
means speedy arrest and severe punish
ment.
About the Pennsylvania gang there never
was the slightest flavor Of romance. The
Cooley boys were outlaws pure and simple.
They began by stealing hogs and chickens,
went on to manufacture and sell Illicit
whisky, then fought to avoid arrest and
next for revenge, and finally graduated as
murderers. One by one they were killed
or captured and imprisoned, till only Frank
Cooley remained at large, with his pal, one
Ramsey. Sheriff Mccormick organized a
picked posse to fight them to a finish.
They got Frank surrounded and he sent
five shots from his Winchester at the sheriff,
but missed, though once he came SO near
that the wind of the ball knocked the
sheriff down.
At length bullet glanced from a stump
near the outlaw and pierced his heart.
Cooley staggered, and the sheriff rushed
upon him and found him clinging to sap.
ling In the final struggle, before he went
down, Cooley discharged his Winchester
twice; the bullets tore up the ground neal
his feet and the weapon fell out of his
hands. AS he lay upon the ground Sheriff
Mccormick spoke to him and said that he
was sorry Cooley had to be killed, but
that it was his own fault. The outlaw re
piled, you did your duty" and moment
later be was dead. Ramsey was captured
next day. A touch of comedy ended the
play On the person of Frank Cooley was
| found letter from well known dentist
which contained request for Cooley's sur
render. The dentist promised that il
Cooley would surrender himself and per
NIT himself to be delivered over to tn,
sheriff he would get 81 200 of the reward
which he could use in defending himsel
in court. All the dentist asked for hi
trouble was $500.

A Widows Death While at Prayer.

Mary Kilmartin, widow sixty-five years
of age, lodging at 10 Moss street, Moss
Bank, Widnes, near London, died recently
under somewhat extraordinary circum-
stances. 1t appears that the woman with
whom deceased lodged Mrs. Connington)
left deceased about II O'Clock on Saturday
night kneeling on wooden sofa saying her
prayers. About oclock on Sunday morn
ing Mr.. Connington, who is employed at
one of the Widnes chemical works, came
home, and then he found the deceased in
the same posture as his wife had left her
five hours previously. He did not receive
any answer when he called the woman, and
then he discovered that she was dead. The
deceased, it appears, has suffered from
bronchitis and asthma for many years.

soldiers, but didn't know when to quit
fighting. From sire to son the passion for
tumult and bloodshed was transmitted,
and some of the most dangerous outlaws
IN the mountains have been boys under
twenty, while most of the leaders in the
greatest of the feuds have been under
thirty years of age.
The Rowan county feud was the last and
probably worst. 1t begun in an election
quarrel between the Tollivers and Martins.
Craig Tolliver, blue eyed giant, led the
Tolliyer faction. The Martins had friends,
but lacked leadership, and were almost ex-
terminated. The Youngs were drawn into
the quarrel as friends of the Tollivers, and
the Logans were marked for destruction
as friends of the Martins. That was Craig
Tolliver's blunder, and led to his over
throw. AS usual the forms of law assisted
rather than hindered the crimes. Craig
Tolliver had himself elected town marshal
of Morehead, the county seat, and was
afterward police judge. His canvass and
election to the latter office show the char
acter of the man. He made up his mind
to become candidate the day before the
election, and at once notified his opponents
of the fact. He also intimated that he
wanted the Office and intended to have it.
The opposition took the hint and with
drew. Election day Tolliver took charge
of the polls himself. When he closed the
books in the afternoon fifty votes had been
cast. Tolliver's election, it is hardly
necessary to say, was unanimous. He
could now issue warrants and make ar
rests at will Crime followed crime with
increasing brutality The county was at
Tolliver's mercy.
The state was compelled to interfere
Governor Knott invited the leaders to a
conference at Louisville and truce was
effected. Down to that time the people of
the rest of the state had been philosoph-
ically inclined to ''let 'em fight it out
among themselves" but facts came to
light which outraged the Kentuckian love
of fair play and set the state in q rage 1t
was shown that there was no chivalry in
it. Most of the killing was done from
ambush. All sorts of treachery was prac-
ticed. Open fights rarely occurred, unless
one side had big odds and the other side
couldn't get away. Human life simply
had no value, and there were hundreds OF
men in the mountains ready to accept em-
ployment as retainers for any man who was
able to pay them for committing murder
and to put up money to protect them after
ward. Recently, in trial of murderer,
one witness admitted that he had been
offered $3.50 to kill another, but as the
destined victim was "a big man in the
neighborhood" he stood out for $3.50.

REID FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
WhitelaW Reid of New York
Nominated Friday Night
by ACClamation.
The Nomination of Harrison
for President Was Made
Unanimous.
Closing Scenes of the Big
Convention - Everybody
Happy.

MINNEAPoLIs, June 1.-THE evening
session of the convention was short, the
only business being the formal choice
of vice presidential candidate. During
the recess the New York delegation had
decided to present the name of Whitelaw
Reid, and Pennsylvania, Illinois and
other states had agreed to support the
nomination.
The convention was called to order at
S:15, and the roll of states was called for
nominations. O'Connor of New York,
presented Reid's name, and it was
seconded by Gen. Horace Porter. A
Tennessee delegate nominated Thomas
B. Reed, but the Maine delegation SAID
be would not accept, if offered. Accord
ingly Whitelaw Reid was nominated for
vice president by acclamatlon.
After the announcement OF the COM
mittees to notify the nominees, at $50 o.
m, the convention adjourned sine die.
Minneapolis was in a blaze of glory
last night, and the ticket nominated was
enthusiastically received by all factions.

mir. Gleason was sincere in his adherence
to the president, and being uninstructed
it was evident that whoever he supported
he would be responsible to himself alone.
Yet the sentiment appeared to him to be
SO overwhelmingly for the plumed
knight, that he finally refused to hold
out for Harrison longer, and IN a little
speech in the North Dakota headquar-
ters, declared he would vote as his con-
stltuents evidently wanted him to. He
was member OF the credentials commit

vote would be deciding one. The
change in his position attracted general
attention, and Mr.. Gleason at once be-
came target for democratic newspaper
inquiries. Mr.. Gleason made a mistake

Northern Pacific.
According to notice published in the
local papers, the railroad commissioners
inspected the F. & S. W. and the j. +.
V. branch lines of the Northern Pacific
Monday, stopping here for supper, and
leaving for Medora afterwards The
commissioners, Messrs. Walsh, Har.
mon and Slotten were &C.
companied by Editor Showers of
Wheatland. At many stations along the
road, the commission was met by farmers
and others seeking information and filing
requests connected with railroads or ele-
vators. Notwithstanding that a short
time had elapsed since the adjournmen
OF the legislature, nearly all the farmers
had heard OF the platform law, and in
numerous cases are petitioning for the
erection of the platforms. The complaints
on the N. P. management were few.

that the Northern Pacific company in

The County School Management.

The County School Management.
Editor Alert:-In reply to the state
ment of your Karlopolis correspondent
that have not pleased all the people of
the county by my conduct of the office
Of superintendent of schools, I would say
that from what can learn my efforts to
conduct an economical, rather than ex-
travagant, management of the county
schools is approved by the ma
jority of the taxpayers. If
failure to visit school
districts had ever resulted in any disad-
vantage to the pupils or the teacher such
fact would certainly have been known
long before this, and promptly remedled.
I am confident that the condition of the
schools is as satisfactory generally, as if I
had made repeated visits to them; there
by incurred the legal but unnecessary
expense for the farmers of the various
school districts to meet. It might be
worth considering that the correspondent
who criticlses the management of the
Office was defeated for the same position
four years since, and that such fact may
possibly be the cause of his opposition
to the present incumbent.
