frankness with which he talked of the
bloody feud he had inaugurated and that

war with each other. No one could be
more courteous and affable. in his rude,
mountain fashion, than Devil Anse,' and,
despite the dark cloud of crime that over
hangs his horizon, it would be difficult to
avoid liking him.
Evolution of the Fcud.
Before the feud started Devil Anse'
was a well-to-do resident of southern West
Virginia. He was a prosperous trader ON
the Kentucky border and the owner Of
some 5000 acres of land. Today he is
forced to hide in the woods, supporting
himself and his large family by bear hunt
ing and bee raising, together with a little
farming in summer. The best part of his
land has long ago disappeared and he estl-
mates that $50, 600 would hardly cover what
he has lost in lawsuits and sacrifice OF
property since the feud started.
1t must always be difficult for an outsider
to get a rational idea of the story of the
feud except in the vaguest way. First,
there were a couple Of hogs, then a woman,
then an election, a quarrel and a murder.
BY this time the feud, with its growing lis
of bloodthirsty killings and implacable re.
venge, was fairly launched,
After the first murder, that of Ellison
Hatfield, by three McCoys twenty years
ago, the two families organized themselves
into armed bands that We're under oath L
eXterminate each other, the Hatields max
ing raids for this purpose into Kentucky
the McCoys into West Virginia. From tn
beginning the two states have taken side

and the pine timber that covers the sues
and tops Of the hills.
AT the end of fourteen miles l reached
a primitive grist mill turned by the waters
of the creek. 1t was an indication that
Island Castle, the nome of Devil Anse,'
was not far of. The mill is not much to
boast Of, certainly. Every timber in it
bears the rude mark of the mOuntaineers
axe, the only implement, apparently, that
was used in throwing together this little
tumble of logs and planks with their serene
contempt for the refnements of lathe and
plane.
Through the open spaces between the
boards a boy could be seen lowering about
the hopper, where a thin stream of meal
answered to the noisy numbering of the
wheel plunging about in the icy waters
below. 1t was a pleasing idyl to stumble
upon after a day of hard travel, and /
stood in the water looking at it with un~
concealed satisfaction. Presently, from
right over my head it seemed, came the
challenge of a rough, hearty voice:
Il want that dawg!'
| look I'd up and shall never forget the
figure standing on the cliff above me. 1t
was a man of middle age, dressed in an
old hunters coat, with a seaman's oilskin
cap on his head, a double-headed axe on
his shoulder, and a gun slung under his
arm. But the large, piercing eyes, even at
that distance, and the tangle of brown
black beard and hair were what riveted
my attention and proclaimed the identity
of the man. There could be no mistake, it
was Devil Anse" Hatfield, the man OF
many murders and a lifelong feud. His
sudden greeting left no opportunity to IN
troduce myself. So l met his demand for

border line between West Virginia anu
Kentucky. The hardy mountaineers then lV-
ing there were descendants of some of the
best Virginia families, who forgot in the
transplanting to establish with their homes
the schools and churches their forefathers
had considered all important. That is why
we have today a feudal America in the heart
Of an educated and progressive country-a
region which has not changed materially
save for the gradual degeneration OF It's
inhabitants since its first settlement of the
whites.
One day-now twenty years past-two
neighbors quarrelled over some pigs, three
members Of the family shot one of the
other. and that day began a feud which
has rot yet ended. Dozens OF detectives
and total strangers who have attempted to
stop the warfare have lost their lives here,
and when the writer proposed taking a
trip to see Devil Anse," the head of the
Hatfelds, in his island castle, all his
friends united in protest against such a
venture.
AS for penetrating on foot and alone
the wilderness of Island Creek where this
redoutable family has it's stronghold, such
a trip, l was warned repeatedly, could end
in nothing but disaster and l was urged
not to attempt it. Being a stranger, the
Hathelds would take me for a detective
and, like some other who had similarly
ventured, | would mysteriously disappear.
Other considerations, however, rendered
the undertaking imperative and so l set
out, accompanied by my dog, a large blood
hound, to explore the notorious little stream
to its source, eighteen miles back in the
mountains.
Travelling in He'd of Stream.
Travelling afoot in a creek might seem
unnatural in any section outside Of West
Virginia. But in the southern part of this
state, all roads are creeks, the road-buildel
having found it simpler to utilize the water
ways provided by nature rather than cut
roads through the mountains.
