INSURANCE MEN DOUBTFUL

NrORGANTOWN W Wa Snnn

MORGANTOWN, w. VA Special.
DR.. II. ID. Hatfield, Republican nomi-
nee for Governor of West Virginia
was the cause OF a sensation when
his application for $4,000 life insur-
ance reached the New York office of
large company a few weeks ago.
The application was classified in
the insurance office as Hatfield of
west virginia" Immediately there
was misgivings over granting DR.. Hat
field policy when the officials of the
insurance company recalled the Hat
held-McCoy feud. They could not un-
derstand either how a feudist could
afford such a large policy. DR.. Hat
Held is cousin of the famous Devil
Anse" of Hatfield Mccoy annals
A special representative of the New
YORK company was sent to this State
ana Tor several days he followed DR..
Hatfield without making any inqui-
ries. Then the Investigator began to
ask questions, and. without waiting
for an interview with Dr. Hatfield, he
wired headquarters: Get him for

tally, in fire which early TODAY
destroyed the Elderhurst Hotel at
Rockaway Beach.
Patients in the ROckaway Beach
Hospital were thrown into a panic
by the blaze. The blaze was discov-

guest at the hotel.
Miss Burnett's cries aroused the
other guests and an alarm was turn
