The scene OF the shooting was the
home of Thomson Hatfield, an aged
and highly respected citizen, who
has always held aloof from the feu-
dial warfare INDUCED in by his rela-
tives. His son Eph. Hatfield spent
several months IN North Carolina,
and bad been home only a few
weeks when word was received that
be was wanted in the southland on
charge of felony, aud that re-
ward of 800 would be pal for his
capture.
John Rutherford, a revenue of
ficer, and Harry Watts, formerly a
citizen of this county, but who has
been in the hotel business ut Will
hanson for some time, concluded
to effect Eph's arrest and secure the
reward. The report says that the
arrest of Hatfield had been made,
when Thompson Hatfield, father of
Eph, slipped revolver into the
hands of his son and the shooting
began and when the smoke had clear
ed away all four men were found to
be dead.
