Nearly Died in Mountains.

Harry Johnson and Tim Kelly, two COW punchers who started out of this city at an early hour Sunday morn- ing of last week were saved from freezing to death by Tom Connoley dn6 Dick C4.1eon, s~o prospectors, who came upon them just in the nick of time, as the cowboys were plod- ding aimlessly through Western gulch says the Globe Belt. Johnson and Kelly had been drinking heavily be- fore they left town at about o'clock Sunday morning. The rain and snow storm overlook them on the way, and when the prospectors met them in Western gulch, the two cOwpunchers were about all in, down and out. The sufferers were led back some distance to a woodpile, where a huge fire was kindled, and, duly thawed out, set again upon their way, thoroughly sobered. It was at about the same spot that Jim Boles, some years ago. was so numbed with cold that he fell off his horse and froze to death, his body being recovered about a week later.

POSTOFFICE ROMANCE.
Death IN Prison of Famous Feudis1
Brings Tragic Story to Light.

Washington. Oct. "A story tragic in its in
tensity and romantic in sentiment has been dis
closed by postofice inspectors regarding Harrison
Hatfield, of the family of feudists of that name,
who died recently in the pententiary at Moundsvile
W. Va
The story tells OF the loss by Hatfield of S2,s54
OF the recovery of part of the amount of the
murder Of Mrs Hatfield by her husband in fit Of
insanity caused by the loss of his money of the
circumstances which finally brought TO an end the
career Of Of the most remarkable feudists the
history of the country.
Harrison Hatfield lived near Horsepen. in the
mountains Of West Virginia He widely known
"Old Hatcher" and was a leader of the Hat
fields in the AIcCoy-Hatfeld feud which amounted
almost TO civil war and disrupted several counties
the borders of West Virginia and Kentucky.
One of his eyes was shot out during raid which
the Ha fields made into Kentucky several years ago.
The Hatields owned large areas Of land in West
Virginia, from which they realized considerable
money.
old Hatcher" deposited S2.S54 in the Guyan Val
ley Bank ar Logan W Va. Subsequently having
need OF the money, he authorized Alexander II.
Trent, postmaster at Horsepen, direct the bank
to forward 10 him the money by registered mall.
Hatfield called at the postofce repeatedly for the
registered letter, but when it arrived April -
1907 he had left the Office only d short time be
fore 10 assist intoxicated friend who could not
sit astride his mule alone. Hatfield directed Post
master Trent take special of the letter lest
it be destroyed by fire in the postoftice
Early the following morning the postoff1ce was
destroyed by fire tine contents of the safe alone
being saved.
Hathed's letter not in the safe. Postmaster
Trent declared he had placed the letter with the
ordinary mail. all of which burned.
An investigation of the fire and of the dsap-
pearance OF the letter made 10y postoflce in
spectors. II was discovered that Postmaster Trent
had obtained a typewriter from a Chicago concern
by fraudulent representations. 10 which he con
fessed. Later Postmaster Trent and his father
indicted for having stolen the registered let
ter. Postmaster Trent finally confessed 10 the
theft and made propositions looking 10 the re-
funding of the money. He produced from jar
hidden under his barn the of 81. .2SO which with
$3.50 obtained from his bondsmen, eventually
turned to Hatfield. Trent convicted OF the
crime but he escaped from jail and now is
fugitive from Justice.
Becoming insane from worry over the loss of his
money and sudden elation the recovery Of
considerable part OF il, Harrison Hatfield poisoned
his wife. who Indian woman. He was
sentenced 10 the penitentary for life and there he
died only few days ago 1t until his
death the postofce inspectors felt justified in
revealing all the facts respecting the
