Urged by certain Kentucky

recognized leader in the move
ment, Gov. Beckham has called
special session of the legisla
ture, which will meet at Frank

call for the extra session to set
tie the very important question
involved, and is heartily in favor
of building the magnificent
new structure upon a site worthy
of itself and as creditable to the
State as the city of Frankfort
can afford. But it is the wish
OF all Kentuckians that this ex-
ira session go down in history as
a short session. Not "short" in
methods or in its judgment as to
what is best and most desirable
in a new site, but short in the
number of its days and in its
mileage and per diem accounts.
1t should not be an expensive
session and if the legislators re-
gard the wishes of their con-
stituents it will not be. There
is only this one question that can
be considered under the gov
nor's call. There are not many
sites possible of consideration al

KILLED IN A TUNNEL.
Elias Hatfield, Noted for His Connection
With the tiatfield.McCoy Feud.
Is Dead.

Elias Hatfield, noted for his
connection with the McCoy-Hat-
field feud, was killed in a tunnel
near here Sunday. He was walk
ing through the tunnel when a
train overlook him. His body
was mangled. That it wasn't a
rifle ball which killed him is sur
prising. None of the Hatfields
probably ever expected to die in
any other way.
Hatfield was released from
Jail two years ago after serving
part OF his sentence for killing
Sheriff H. E. Ellis, one of the
McCoys. That was one of the
last murders of the famous feud,
and it was one of the few for
which Hatfield was ever con-
victed. Since getting out of
prison Elias Hatfield has been
living near the place at which he
was killed.
Elias Hatfield was one of the
Hatfield brothers. Their father
was "Devil Ansen Hatfield, the
leader of the clan. Among the
other brothers were "Cap."
Hatfield, famous for his break
from Jail some years ago and
subsequent recapture; John,
Troy and Ellison. They were all
wanted for the Ellis murder,
which occurred in 1897, but they
got away. Elias Hatfield was
the youngest of the brothers, but
he had as many murders to his
credit as any. He was only IL
at the time of the Ellis murder.
He was a good shot and had all
the other characteristics of the
family, even a hatred for the
McCoys.
The Hatfield Mccoy feud start
ed long before the civil war.
Local history has it that a DIS
pute over ownership of some
hogs engendered the strife.
There have been many fights, but
perhaps the most famous VIZ on
account of Elias. He was ac-
cused by one of the McCoys at a
reunion of the two families of
having stolen money, and his
brother, Ellison, defended him.
Ellison Hat field and Talbot Nc
Coy were in duel when another
Mccoy shot Ellison. Then came
a bloody battle, which resulted
In the Hatfelds selling three of
the McCoys, taking them over
the line into the McCoy's own
state, Kentucky, tying them to
trees and shooting them full of
holes. 1t was in 1882 when the
Hatfields thus wiped out the in
suit to their younger brother.
The father and the other
brothers are still alive. The on
ly one of the brothers who was
ever shot by the McCoys was FL
lison, and that was the fight over
Elias back in 1882. Reports
have had this feud patched up
numberless times, but in that
regien few deeds of violence ever
occur which are not ascribed to
the hatred of the two families,
dating back two generations

any meal-barrel intimidation.
A country weekly l place up
on the same broad plane of hon
esty that the most successful and
influential city dailies occupy.
The editor should be courageous
to advocate what he believes, in
a gentlemanly and courteous man
ner, in upholding political prin-
ciples or party policies; but
independent enough not to sub
scribe to demagoguery or fraud
of any sort that might be con-
cocted by party organization for
party expediency.
1t is temporarily expensive to
be thus independent, as even the
daily newspaper sometimes has
discovered, but such indepen-
dence has in itself the reward of
a duty-done feeling which is
good to entertain where one can
afford the luxury. Fair and
thoughtful people, aud these are
the best patrons to have if there
are enough of the sort within
given area of newspaper field,
accept such an independence,
heartily applaud its courage and
become the papers permanent
friends.
Strictly as business PROPOSE
ton there can be no sort of ques-
ton upon this point, so far as
concerns the country press of
the State of Kentucky. The edi-
tor with political aspirations and
a good political grasp, who can
control the public printing and
the official patronage of the dom
inant party in his home county,
can afford to conduct a strictly
partisan paper-so long as he
retains his hold.
1t is seldom, If ever, except
for a brief space, that an editor
can make such partisanship pay
in cash under any other circum-
stances.
Almost millennial indeed is it
TO think of, but there is a future
time to hope for when men will
have become educated in schools
and from the pulpit and by the
press; trained into a spirit of
charitable tolerance and brother
ly love that will permit free
expression of opinion without
subsection to prescription and
abuse.

most unpleasantness at the edi-
