FLEEs FROM FEvD DISTRICT.
James Hatfield Leaves Dark and
Bloody Ground for West.

Minneapolis. - James Hatfield Of
Cynthiana, KY, one of the last sur.
vivors Of the notorious Hatfeld-Mc.
Coy feud Of the mountain district Of
eastern Kentucky, fleeing from the
bullets that have begun to whizz be.
tween the factions again. passed thru
Minneapolis on his way to a far-off
land, thousands Of miles from the
mated and feared McCoys.
Il sold out the little grocery store
in Cynthiana. left enough money with
the old woman and the children to
keep them. and am going far away
from Kentucky-to British Columbia
to begin life all over again. he said
wistfully.
"The reason I am leaving my native
state. never to return, is that the feud
which we thought all over years ago,
when most of the Hatfields and most
of the McCoys had been killed by each
other. is that Jim Mccoy has Just shot
to death another Hatfield, distant
relative Of mine. My woman couldn't
sleep nor eat for fear that would be
next to be killed, or that would kill
some Mccoy who tried to kill me, so
at 81 years Of age am on my way
to make q new home for the family.

Minneapolis, MINI. Definite de-

into their next state platform are to
be made by the Minnesota State Anti
Saloon league. The demands of the
county optionists are to be expressed
In convention held In Minneapolis
this winter. Arrangements for the
convention, which is to be in the ma
ture of monster mass meeting, are
already under way and men Of nation
al and statewide prominence have con-
sented to attend the convention.
The announcement that the county
optionists are to voice their demands
in state mass meeting is the most
important Of the year from political
standpoint for it may mean that unless
the republican leaders accede to the
demands of the county optionists the
optionists will nominate a state ticket
of their own, thus endangering chanc-
es for republican success at the polls.

WORK FOR UNIFORM GRADING.
Committee Will Take Up and Discus
Disputed Points.

Committee Will Take Up and Discuss
Disputed Points,
Indianapolis, 1nd.-The Grain Deal
ers' National Association convention
here made great stride toward uni
form grading Of grains.
BY conceding some of the demands
made by the Chicago grain men for
changes in the grain grades draft
adopted at the st. Louis convention
last year, the grain men have finally
adopted the Kansas City, Chicago and
southwestern market grades on milo.
maize and kaffir corn. They also made
some material concessions by granting
part of the Chicago mems demands
for changes in wheat tests.
There were, however, five demands
made by the Chicago grain men for
changes in wheat gradings that were
not granted. Steps were taken to bring
an agreement on those five points OF
difference by the organization Of q
strong committee of five which will
call a conference with the Illinois,
Minnesota, Missouri and Kansas state
commissions and prominent boards OF
trade. At this meeting an effort will
be made to get in agreement of these
five grades of wheat.
One of the first refusals was in the
demand of the Chicago grain men to
raise the test weight of No. 2 white
winter wheat from Sc to 81 pounds
Another denial was of the demand
that No. 2, 3 and 4 hard winter wheat
may contain a maximum of as pei
cent red winter wheat.
The national convention refused to
raise the test weight Of No. hard
spring wheat from So to SO pounds and
No. 2 northern spring wheat from 81
to 571s pounds.
The convention indicated that /,
would grant an additional one pound
to the test weights of velvet chat
wheat grades, but refused to accede to
the demands of the Chicago men to
raise the weight test approximately
three pounds.
The convention conceded the de
mands of the Chicago men for the use
of the word new" as now used in
the Illinois rules, and also granted
changes demanded in red winter, No
4 spring and Nos. 1, 2. 3 and 4 white
spring wheats, and in durum wheat.
