HATFIELD FEUDISTS' BAND
TERRORIZES WEST VIRGINIA

Roanoke, Va, Nov. 28.-The notori-
GUS Hatfield band, whose members
have participated in many feuds, has
broken forth again and another reign
Of terror Is promised. This time the
Hatflelds are at war with family
named Duty, living on Pigeon Creek,
in Mingo county. Already two lives,
one from each side, have been sacri-
feed, and 1t is expected that much
more blood will be shed before the
feud is ended.
Harvey Duty, head of the Duty fam
lily, has nine grown sons who are agi-
tating the feud with the Hatfelds. The
Dutys once we're the staunchest friends
OF the Hatfield gang and aided them
in their feud against the McCoys by
giving them shelter, food and clothing.
Duty Boy 10 Murdered.
A few nights ago John Daniels col
league of the Hatflelds, retaliated by
numbering Marion Duty, youngest OF
the brothers. as he was returning from
visit to his sweetheart. All nine of
the brothers have sworn to die OF
avenge his death. The Dutys, while
they own large farm and are pros.
porous. are considered the most dar.
ing band in West Virginia
The Hatfields have led rather an
uneventful life since 1897, when Aaron
Hatfield married Mary Mccoy and
brought comparative peace. The

REFORM IS
A F ALLURE
MACEDONIAN REBEL LEADER
SAYS NEXT RISING WILL
OCCUR IN 1906.

London, Eng. Nov. %. - A lette,
from Boris Sarafeff. the Macedonian
leader, to friend in London, says 1t
is the intention Of the revolutionary
committee to defer the next general
uprising until the spring of 1906, after
the expiration Of the two year term
OF the Austro-Russian reforms.
Conditions Grow Worse.
Sarafeff adds that the reforms are
utter failures and that the condition
OF the peasants is worse than before
the late revolution. Their homes have
not been rebuilt They are on the
verge of starvation and some of them
are freezing to death.
Are Collecting Funds.
The insurgents under Damien Cru.
eff are maintaining the revolutionary
organization with seventy bands from
ten to fifty men and are collecting
funds in Madecondia for the next ris
ing. Sarafeff is in Bulgaria for the
same purpose.

members of the band did not let their
rifles rust, however, for in July 1899
Elias Hatfield shot and killed H. q
Ellis. wealthy lumberman, who had
assisted in the capture of johnson
Hatfield the previous year. One yea1
later Wayne Hatfield, son of the
iailer in Hatfield county. kept in prac
tice by shooting and killing his cousin
Will Hatfield during a quarrel.
Start of the Trouble.
The trouble originated with George
Hensley, who married Mary Hatfield
daughter OF Devil" Anse Hensley
lived with Devil" Anse on Island
Creek. Because he had become one
Of the Hatfield gang he sought to ter.
rorize the Duty boys.
On election day Hensley announced
That before sunset he would kill Nor
gan and Jake Duty He went In am
bush for them mile from their home.
but the Dutys became aware of Hens
ley's plan and crept UP and killed him
from behind. Devil" Anse and Cap
Hatfield found tracks that led to the
Duty home. Stepping suddenly
within, they demanded the surrender
of the brothers. Instead of surren-
dering the ten Duty boys seized their
rifles and made the Hatfields drop
their guns and leave The Hatfield
band was aroused because its two
leaders had baan dtsgraced, and swore
vengeance.
