J0hnse Hatfield has been sentenced to
the nenitentiarY.

PREsToNBURG, KY, Jan. 20
johnson better known as Johnse Hat
field, was Tuesday given life sem
tence In the penitentiary for the MUIR
der of the children of Randolph Nc
Coy. The jury returned the verdict
at $50 Tuesday morning. Hatfield
was arrested in Mingo county w. Va,
last summer by Deputy Marshal Gun
ningham of Charleston. The case
was yenired to Prestonburg for trial.
According to the story of Randolph
Mccoy, the children's father, six or
seven men, all armed, came to his
house on the night Of the crime. The
men surrounded the house and de-
manded that the Mccoy family sur
render. Volley after volley was then
fred into the house, which was set
on fire. The inmates were forced to
leave in their night clothes. Calvin
left first. He tried to get to a crib
but bullet sent through his head,
ended his life. The girl, Alfare, was
in an adjoining house, where she
begged piteously for her life, but the
murderers were heartless.
''Spare neither man nor woman, y
shouted the leader Of the gang. She
was then shot down.

The Broken Resolutions.

Three weeks OF '99 have passed,
And now, on looking back,
Good resolutions by the score
We see along the track.
They started out with prospects bright
And at a steady gait,
But they have been abandoned like
Those made in ninety-eight.
The man who vowed that nevermore
Tobacco he would use,
Again is smoking rank cigars,
And just as freely chews.
He meant exactly what he said,
And kept his vow one day,
Then by the habit he las downcd
In just the same old way.
The man who used to stretch the truth
And said that fault he'd break,
Again is Keeling off his yarns
With many fragrant fake.
He never tried to curb his tongue,
For he, with manner glib,
Admits, in speaking of his pledge,
Twas just another fib.
The man who bought diary
To write in every night,
A few brief entries in it made.
Then put it out of sight.
He thought 'twould be an easy task
And pleasure great afford,
But soon repented and declared
He wouldn't thus be bored.
And there are others, many more,
Who "swore off" habits, but
They couldn't keep it up, and now
They're In the same old rut,
There still remain few brave souls
Who stand through thick and thin;
To resolutions they adhere,
And they are bound to win.

chain gang on the mountain road one

VERY NECESSARY.
DR.. White and His Commission should
Be Well Looked After.


The present legislature will show
its common sense if it makes good
appropriation for the geological sur
vey of the State. To have thorough
and scientific knowledge of the natu-
raj wealth and resources OF the State
is very necessary for its proper devel-
opment, and of course the knowledge
must first be acquired and made
available. There is possibly not
State in the Union which possesses
such vast natural wealth, and which
affords greater possibilitis1of devel-
0pment than West Virginia. We
have the core of the great Appalachian
coal. field (the richest on earth) and
are now producing more oil than
Pennsylvania. The building of the
Short Line and Kanawha River rail-
roads will open up new fields which
will make West Virginia the greatest
coal mart in the Union. A consider
alton of these facts should cause our
legislature to grant an ample appro-
priation to forward this great advance
ment.-Clarksburg News.
