With all his wealth, Cornelius Van

of age, aud who for fifteen years has
led the clan bearing his name during
their bloody warfare with the McCoys
along the border Of West Virginia
and Kentucky, was arrested late yes
terday afternoon for the first time in
his life.
Ills son, Bob, and son in.law, John
DingcsS, were also arrested at the
same time. Stories o. Hatfield's law.
leSsness and thirst for blood have been
told all over the country, bat now
that Mingo county Is becoming more
civilized the inhabitants are tired of
feuds, and few weeks ago concerted
efforts Were made 10y citizens to stop
them.
Accordingly, a posse, fifty strong,
composed ct the hravest men in this
county, assisted by haif dozen of:
fcials of Huntington, Yesterday
boarded Il special train at Gray, ana
came to this place for the purpose of
making an attempt to capture all the
Hatields and their kin against whom
indictments have been returned either
here on in Kentucky.
This is the HatGeds stronghold,
their big tort being located only a
short distance away.
Strange to say, when the train
stopped, Devil Anse," his son, Bob,
aud John Dingess were standing near.
At first sight of the posse, all started
rapidly toward their fort.
The posse debarked quickly and
after several shots had been fred, the
Halieid's, seeing they were overpow-
cred surrendered. The posse, armed
with Winchesters, hurried on to the
big fort with the hope of capturing
the notorious cap" Hatfield
10 their disappointment the fort
was vacant, but in it were found am
munition and provisions for small
army. cap had evidently escaped
to the mountains on hearing the fir.
ing at his relatives, ..and portion of
the posse went into The mountains
last night, hoping to locate him soon
after daylight.
The men arrested were taken to
Niiliamsrown on special train.
Elias Hatfield who murdered Dave
Ellis on passenger train last summer
Is now ON trial at Williamson.
There is great excitementin Ming
county and it is difficult to predict
the outcome Of yesterdays captures
At least 40 Hatfelds and relatives
are in hiding in this region, and should
the posse come across them in Il body
Il bloody battle will follow.
All the men captured carried WIN
chesters. 1t is predicted thata lynch
ing will occur befpre the trial of Ella.
Hatfield is concluded.

Got His Pension.

One of the most successful pension
cases ever worked up in the county, is
that OF Samuel Mckinney, of near
Rohr, who has been granted ST. per
month and about $500 back pay. The
case was worked up by Thos. J. Wat
son, OF near Reedsville, who took
charge of it after an attorney at Nor
gantown had failed on it because Nc
Kinney had been dropped from the
rolls as deserter. He was in a hos
pital in New Jersey during the war
and left it and was never able to re-
turn to the army, so he was recorded
as "deserter, but Watson succeeded
in getting the matter cleared up and
having Mckinney restored to the rolls.
He belonged to Company "H", 7th

MEETING OF THE FORTNIGHTLY
CLUB.
Paper by Prof. Patterson ON s'Th0mas
Bailey Aldrich.v


The Fortnightly Club held most
delightful session last evening at the
home of Prof and Mrs. Aldrich. 1t
was, indeed, exclusively an Aldrich
affair, inasmuch as the subject of the
evenings discussion was Thomas
Bailey Aldrich" The paper of the
evening was by Prot. Patterson It
is matter of deep regret that the
entire membership of the club was
not present, for the paper was one of
the choicest presentations it has been
the lot of our people to hear. The
work of Aldrieh as poet and dra-
matist was most thoroughly han
died. Prof Patterson is fine
reader, snd his rendition of a num-
Der of poems gave pleasing variety
to the paper. The speaker showed
a most keen appreciation of the del
icate coloring and picturesque quail
tiles of the poetry of Aldrich, and
made the audience appreciate these
same qualities which he himself saw
by his exquisite reading.
At the close of Prof. Patterson S
paper, DIR. Brooke entered upon a
discussion of the paper and the poet
taking an exactly opposite view of
the subject, and creating a gale of
merriment by his witty and fearless
treatment of Aldrich. Indeed, thus
far in the history of the Fortnightly
Club, there has been no lack of vari-
ETY. to the program, tor someone has
always been present who was fear
less enough to combat the speaker
Of the evening. DR.. Brooke's re
marks were much enjoyed by all.
DIR. Raymond, Mr.. Barbe, Prof
Hodges and Mrs. Raymond followed
DIR. Brooke in the discussion.
After the program delightful
social time ensued the guests being
given delicious refreshments by the
hospitaDle hostess. The whole occa-
sion was one of the completest enjoy
ment, three new names were offered
for membership and accepted, the
names of DR.. Sanders and DR.. and
Mrs. Courtney.
| The club will meet Jan. 10th with
Mr.. and Mrs. Keck, Mrs. Brock will
speak on "Rugyard Kipling as knew
him."

about it.
