and hero. Captain Hatfield of the West Vir-

McCoys during the Tug Fork tug-of-
war. which delug ed some of our
Kentucky soil with very bad article
of blood several years ago, has passed
in his checks during "A poker game
in the wilds of West Virginia is Indignantly
denied by the friends of that gentleman.
They assert that Captain Hatfield is a re-
formed man aud no longer exposed to the
casualties of feuds and poker games The
Williamson (W. Va.) New Era, which
makes small circle of light in the dense
darkness of the Hatfield section, refers TO
the reported death of the gallant hero and
says:
I'VE can most emphatcally deny the
above, and will state that Captain Hatfield
has been an invalid for the past six months
from the effects of wound received when
a boy. We understood that he has professed
religion and that no poker games have been
played in his house for some time. 1t is un-
fair to even such men as he TO circulate re-
ports as the above without any foundation"
