HATFiELDs ON THE wARPATH.
Noted Mountaineers Have Begun An.
other Feud.

&NOtCu AAaNS AsSS Suh an
other Feud.
The notorious Hatfield band of West
Virginia, whose members have particl-
pated in many feuds, has broken forth
again and another reign of terror is
promised. This time the Hatfields are
at war with family named Duty. living
on Pigeon creek, in Mingo county. AL
ready two lives, one from each side. have
been sacrificed, and it 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 agl-
tating the feud with the Hatiields. The
Dutys once We're the staunchest friends
of the Hatfield gang and aided them in
their feud against the McCoys by Civ
ing them shelter, food and clothing.
The trouble originated with George
Hensley, who married Mary Hatfield.
daughter of ''Devil'' Anse. Hensley lived
with 'Devir' Anse on Island creek. Be
cause he had become one of the Hatfield
gang he sought to terrorize the Duty
boys. On election day he announced that
he woud kill Morgan and Jake Duty.
But they got the drop oil him and he
himself was killed. That set "Devir'
Anse and "Cap" Hatfield going, and
since then Marion Duty has been killed.
His nine brothers have declared that
they will die or avenge his death. The
Dutys, while they own a large farm and
are prosperous, are considered the most
daring band in West Virginia.
The Hatfields have led rather an I'M
nj
Hatfield married Mary Mccoy and
brought comparative peace. The men,
bers of the band did not let their rifles
rust, however, for in July, 1890. Elias
Hatfield shot and killed II. f. Ellis, Il
wealthy lumberman, who had assisted
in the capture of johnson Hatfield the
previous year. One year later Wayne
Hatfield. son of the jailer in Hatfield
county, kept in practice by shooting and
killing his cousin, Will Hatfield, during
4 quarrel.
While the Hatfield-McCoy feud lasted
it extended through nearly thirty years
more than forty were killed. Twice
that number bear knife and bullet scars.
Of the Hattields, the only desperate
members of the band left are Devil
Anse, Bob and Cap" OF the McCoys
only one remains, and he now is resi-
dent of Pikeville.
The feud with the McCoys started over
the possession of razor-back hog. 1t
was an animal of little value and. of less
beauty and had wandered from the farm
of old Randolph Mccoy, to be picked
up by Floyd Hatfield. The two men
first went to law and the witness who
lost the case for the Hatfields prompt
ly was killed. Then came the vendetta.
