DEVIL ANSE" IN VIRGINIA
Former Feudist Visits Cap Hat
field. His Father.

Richmond. Va-"Devil Anse''
Hatfield is once again in the noun
tains of West Virginia, after an abb
sence of years. Nineteen years ago
James Hatfield, Jr., better known as
Devil Anse," was recognized
throughout the mountains of West
Virginia and Kentucky as one of the
quickest and surest shots in the Hat
field faction. when he left West Vir-
ginia for the plains of Minnesota.
Devil Anse" is highly respected In
the community in which he lives.
Few in that section know of his past
life or of the exploits of himself and
his kinsmen in their family war
fare.
He is on a visit to his father,
Gap" Hatfield. leader of the Hat
field, leader of the Hatfield clan. who
is 80 years of age and very feeble.
After spending some time at his old
home it is the purpose of Devil
Anse' to return to the wheatfieids.
West Virginia is no longer like
home to me-" he says, many livCs
were lost during the war between
the two families. The Hatfleld-Me-
Coy fUed. known throughout the
world for the ferocity with which it
was waged, started in Floyd County
nearly forty years ago and extended
over a dozen counties in the two
States. Twenty years ago I grew
tired OF the eternal strife and blood
shed and went West"
John Mccoy was the head of the
Mccoy family, of which there were
fifteen children. Only one survives.
Cap" Hatfield was the father of
thirteen children, of which number
eleven we're killed, the only two now
alive being Devil Anse" and a girl.
A mountain romance concerns it
self with the Mccoy who survived
and the Hatfield girl. The two were
about the same age. One day they
met on a mountain trail. Later the
little community In the hills was
startled to learn that the two had
eloped and that they had been mar
ried by a mountain preacher. This
ended the feud. The couple are hap
py. They live in pretty little wood
ed glen in the West Virginia hills,
surrounded by growing boys and
girls carrying in their veins the fused
blood Of the two old fighting fami-
lies.
At times the feud of former days
reached such proportions that State
troops had TO be called out The
trouble affected even the cousins Of
the two sides. Innocent women and
children were shot like rabbits in
the fields In one instance two mem
boys, were tied 10 trees and burned
to death

AWAITED DEATH IN DESERT.
Body Of b. T. Pratt, Dead FROM
Hunger and Thirst, Found
in CaIfforus.
in California.

Los Angeles, Water. If I
could only find water. I'm suffering
terribly from hunger To-day / ate
some green brush. but | can't go any
more. vonder how long it will
take TO die
These enN. .es In the notebook OF
B. T. Pratt, whose body was found
on the desert in Inyo county by two
prospectOrs, give pathetic evidence
Of the suffering the man underwent
as he watched the approach of death
far from human habitation. The
diary also was found by G. w. Lewis
and s. E. Shattuck. the prospectors
while on trip through the Argus
Mountains in Inyo county. Pratt had
been dead nearly two months. He
was evidently trying to reach the
mountains, where he knew he would
find food OF a sort and water in
abundance, but within sight of his
refuge he gave out and could go no
further. Pratt was sixty years old.
The entries in the notebook were
scribbled and began only when the
man found he was in danger Of dy-
ing.
Food gave out to-day; guess
can make Argus" was the entry for
August 8, seven days after he had
started to cross the desert. Water
gone" told the story of the follow
ing day
For one whole day he went with
out water or food, but maintained
an optimistic spirit, as is witnessed
by the following entry for Augut s:
Signs OF water about half mile
ahead. There will be green stun
there too. VIII reach It early in
the morning." But evidently the
desert was playing tricks on him. as
1t so often does by means of a mir
age. Two days later came the two
entries quoted first The last entry
reads:-

Cal. July 28. Tom Spratt told me

PETE, TAME MUSKRAT IS DEAD.
Careless Gunner Shoots Strange Pet
of Farmers Family.


Swinefield. \. Wounded fatal
ly by a gunner who had obtained
permission to hunt for game on the
farm, Pete. a tame muskrat, for FIVE
years the chief attraction of Charles
Waters place, crswled from a brook
to the feet of his master, looked at
him piteously and pleadingly and
then died. Instantly there was =
rage in the heart of Waters He ran
to the back of the barn and saw
the slayer of his pet running across
the fields toward Caldwell When
the news of the death of the rodent
was communicated to the other mem
bers of the Waters family they de-
nounced the shooting as deliberate
murder" Even old Rover, the fam
lily dog, dropped his ears when he
saw the bleeding body of his play
mate, and the cats, which had SO
many good times sporting with the
muskrat in the barnyaTd and doWE
by the brook at the back of the
barn, seemed to understand that
some one had committed a crime
which never could be repaired.
knowing the muskrat's feeding
ground was back of the barn, Waters
had expressly stipulated that the
gunner should not do any shooting
there. If that injunction had been
obeyed Pete probably would be alive
and we'll now.
In the spring of 1908 the home of
Pete's parents was invaded and he
and four other young muskTats were
found there. Waters was attracted
to Pete and decided TO let him live.
The others were killed. Pete be-
came a pet in the Waters family.
He manifested his appreciation Of
kindness by becoming as tame and
as playful as a kitten. From the
hands of members of the family he
ate pieces of tender cabbage, let
tuce and celery. He seemed to know
he never must touch that growing
in the garden Each day he would
go to the brook at the back OF the
barn and dig up and eat flag root
and other water bulbs. of which he
was exceedingly fond When he got
old enough he built a house near
the barn and stored therein his win
ter supply OF herbs and roots. With
the approach of winter Pete would
retire to his home and only emerge
from it on particular warm days.

the house and then return to his
snug winter quarters. The sa-
gacious animal was engaged In get
ting sticks and grass with which to
repair his home when he was shot.
Although suffering mortal agony he
Immediately began crawling along
the ground to find the man who had
been kind to him ever since Ae was

HYPNOTISM AS ANAESTHETIC.
Boys Hip Put Back in It's Socket
without Giving Him Pain.


Philadelphia. - HypnOtism was
brought into play recently in the
Hahnemann Hospital as an anaes-
thetic. The patient, six-year-old
Clark Bender of No. 1112 Spring
street, underwent the painful opeT-
alton of having his dislocated hip
put back into its socket without ut
tering a whimper
To Ray Murray, an orderly in the
hospital, belongs the credit Of max
ing the operation painless. When
the boy was carried into the hospi-
tai by his grandfather, Samuel Ed
ward, the old man objected to an
snaesthetic being used. even when
the doctors said that the boy was
suffering from a dislocated hip and
that the operation of replacing the
bone, although simple, would cause
the boy excruciating pain.
When the doctors and the grand
father were arguing the matter, Muir
ray, who has read numerous books
on hypnotism and has practiced the
art on many employees of the hospi-
tai. said: Leave it to me, and /
will fix the boy so that he won't feel
any pain" The orderly made few
passes with the hand over the young
ster's face, and the child passed into
q deep slumber. The hip was then
put in place.
When the operation was over Muir
ray had no difficulty In restoring the
patient to consciousness. The boy
said that he had not felt the slightest
sensation while the doctors were ma
nipulating the hip. He walked home
with his grandfather. The disioca-
tiOn was caused by a fall.
