through the crowd and, looking
through heavy tears, cried out: kiss

HOW DEVIL ANSE WAS FOOLED
Two Detectives Who Knew How to
Win Old Man HatAeld's
Hospitality.

when went with surveying party
into the Tug river country, in West Vir-
ginia, several years ago, there were
doubts as to whether the natives
would let US stay" said f. C. Albright,
a civil engineer In general it was
taken for granted by the mourtain-
GERS that any stranger who crossed
the dead line, where the mountain
district begins. was an enemy, a rev.
enue officer or sheriff, whom it was
their duty to pot for the public safety.
But shortly before our coming the
U-it>t States mlrshals had made some
impression on the district, and in
spired respect for government. The
mountaineo:s I~~arded our surveys
and railroad building as part of the
government, and accordingly did not
molest US.
"All are hospitable, and, like the
Arab, the mountaineer regards the
stranger who Las eaten his salt as be-
ing under his protection. This brings
me to a story of Devil Anse Hatfield
and two of our railroad detectives.
Devil Anse, as you probably have
heard, is the patriarch and leader of
the Hatfield clan He lives in his for
titieC. house on Island creek. with six
or seven armed men always there as a
guard. Somehow the two detectives
had got the i'll will of the Hatfiells,
ard m ambush was aid for them. The
d"tec ives got Win. of it. They knew
the country and the people, ard de-
cided cn the only thing they could do.
Lc? IL y the road they made a detour
bcA I'd the men in ambush, and rode
straight to the house of Devil Anse
Hatfield. AS luck would have it the
old man was away, perhaps superin-
tending the ambush, and they got to
the house and within the door without
being fired at. They set their rifles in
Il corner hung their belts and pistols
against the wall, sat down, and asked
for something to eat. When Devil Anse
came back the women had fed the de-
tectives, and as they had eaten bread
beneath his roof there was nothing for
the old man to do but play host with
the best grace he could show. He
made the best of the matter, gave the
men the best supper and breakfast
that the house afforded. and fed their
horses. The next morning he sent
them with a guide by an out-of-the-
way path out of the country.
"'HaIl see you safe said Devil Anse
at parting. If you took the main trail
you'd likely meet some of my folks,
and l reckon they'd turn their guns
loose without stopping to ask where

ANOTHER wARsHIp IN CUBA's PORTS
Arrival Of the Cruiser Montgomery at
Matenxas,

The Navy Department has received a tele-
gram from Captain Converse of the cruiser
Montgomery, announcing the arrival OK
that vessel at Matanzas, Cuba, yesterday.
The captain said that he fired a salute,
which was duly responded to by the Spans
ish forts; that visits were exchanged be-
tween himself and the local officials, and
that he had been received with the great
est courtesy. Everything was unusually
quiet at Matanzas, added Captain Converse,
He will leave in the Montgomery tomorrow

The armored cruiser Brooklyn, which fe
bound for u cruise in the Windward Is

IMPORTANT LAND DECISIONS.
Two Affecting the Claims of Arch

Two Affecting the Claims of Arch
bishop Ireland.
Land Commissioner Hermann today rem
dered two important decisions involving
the rights OF a number of settlers who had
bishop Ireland
ton, and for some time has engrossed the
attention Of the land Office.
While one decision is against Archbishop
Ireland and the other is in his favor, the
settlers are in each case amply protected.
In fact, no matter how the decision went
they were protected.
Archbishop Ireland was the agent of the
Catholic Colonization Society, and sought
to obtain title to certain lands along the
line Of the st. Paul, Minneapolis and Mani
toba Railroad Company. According to the
records In one instance the archbishop
agreed with the railroad company to set
tie the lands, the railroad to make the sales
at 81 per acre and the archbishop to re-
ceive commission Of 10 per cent. In
this case Commissioner Hermann has de-
cided that Archbishop Ireland was merely
the agent of the railroad, and denies his
claim to deed for the land.
In the other case Archbishop ireland was
the recognized agent Of the settlers and
doubt.
It was developed that the railroad COM
psny lad no vested right in the land and
consequently had nothing to SELL Under
the act of March 3. 1897, Congress passed
bill providing for the adjustment OF rail-
road grants and gave the right to actual
bona fde purchasers to obtain title to
land.
The department had only the question
therefore to decide Of the settlers who had
purchased In good faith. As stated above
IN either decision the settler would rot
have suffered.

Merchants say the alleged cans, for the

letter Of suggestions as to the course to
be- pursued in defending United States
Senator Edward Murphy, jr., from the at
tacks made upon him in the legislature for
voting for the Teller resolution.
Mr.. Belmont, who was gold" demo-
crat during the 1896 campaign, calls atten-
ton to the vote Of President Mckinley in
Congress in 1877 on the Matthews silver
resolution, which, he says, was exactly the
same as the Teller resolution. He does not.
therefore, see how a republican legisla-

it's own representative at the head of the
ration had set a precedent.
