BROKE THE DEVILS BACKBONE.
Rocky Fortress of the HntfieIds
Shattered by Dynamite.

st. Louis, Aug. l6.-A special to the
Post-Dispatch from Huntington, w. Va,
says;
One-half of the Devils Black Bone,
the rocky fortress of the Hatlields in
the mountains on Tug river, was shat
tered by dynamite Saturday and Hatfield
and his men driven from their strong
hold by Sheriff Keale and his posse, af-
ter a desperate battle
Several of the sheriff's men are bad
ly wounded, but the Hatfelds are still
free. Only this has been accomplished.
that the rocky crest where the Hatfelds
have for years defied the law, and from
which they have carried out their bloody
plans, is no longer a tenable fortress.
1t was decided by the besieging force
to dynamite the desperate and his gang.
All day Friday and Friday night the
closest watch was kept. At o'clock in
the morning the dynamite arrived, and
by IL the explosive was placed. The
fuse was laid, the match was applied and
the attacking force began to fall back.
Until now the besieged seemed not to
suspect what was being done, but with
the flashing of the train which led to the
dynamite all realization of their peril
came. Men jumped from cover and rush
ed hither and thither in full view. A
rush was made down the side of the
mountain. Three men dropped wounded.
1t was useless to try to escape by the
we'll known path and the desperadoes re-
turned to the top of their rocky fort Hat
field directing them.
Great boulders were hurled over the
rocks in hopes of breaking the fuse
Then came the explosion. Pieces of rocks
and trees flew in every direction. When
the smoke cleared Hatfield and his men
seemed unframed. Dan Lewis, Steve
Stanley and Jack Monroe, who presumed
in the excitement to leave the shelter
were shot and are not expected to re
cover. Another charge of dynamite was
trained, but under the cover of the eN-
plosion Hatfield and the rest of his men
escaped. The chase was renewed. and
shampered as he is by his wounds, Hat
! fields capture within a few hours must
follow.

Ter were on the lookout, however, ard
when the prisoners assembled the wall
they looked into the muzzles of two shot
guns. A negro named John Goodboy, re-
Gently committed from Hope, intended to

From Four and IA Half Acres.

Juliaetta, Idaho, Aug. ls.-Frank Eb-

proved Lyons wine press and crusher
the latter with capacity of 20 tons of
grapes per day. Mr.. Eberle made over
600 gallons of wine from the grapes
grown on his place last year. all of which
he has disposed of. From the condition
of his grapes this year, he thinks he will
make over thousand gallons. This wine

as Mr. Eberle's vineyard only comprises
four and half acres it proves conclusive
ly that grain is not the only crop that
can be grown in the Potlatch at a profit
