The house was newly and elegantly
furnished. The furnishings were val
ued at between $500 and $4,000,
with only $500 insurance. The build
ing was worth at least $4,000, with
81 500 insurance.
The cause of the fire is a mystery,
but is supposed to have been from a
defective fue or fire from the range,
which had smouldered for hours.
1t is not probable that it will ever
be rebuilt, as it is not the best loca-
tion now for a hotel.
1t was as airless night as could
be, yet the sparks on the roofs Of Mr..
Peery, Mr.. Estes. Joe Gray. and the
Gooch hotel fired the roofs, but were
extinguished. The three trunks Of
beautiful shade trees stand as mute
martyrs saving the depot. 1t causes
sadness to every one as they look

chimneys standing as reminders Of
many hallowed associations which
during generation clustered around

ed me most was his remarks about
hunting bears. Devil Anse was known
to have tracked bears for more than
thirty miles over the rocky hills with
out dog. | asked him how he could
do it. Then he made a remark show
ing his deep insight into nature.
"Well, you see, bears is like men;
they won't generally climb over hill
when they can find low gap. |
knowed the ground the bear would
walk er-the easiest he could find,
and that is the way | run him down."
He said that one day some boys tried
to fool him by taking dead coon's
feet and making tracks in the mud by
creek. He did not like the looks
of the tracks, some way, and tried
his dog on them. When he saw that
the dog paid no attention to the
tracks, he knew it was a trick. One
of his nephews murdered a Syrian
peddler, and was foolish enough to
parade around in clothes taken from
the dead mans pack. Devil Anse
trailed the boy from Logan court
house to Dolorme station on the Tug
river. So miles, but the boy escaped
into Kentucky, and Devil Anse knew
it was as much as his own life was
worth to 20 over there, so he trailed
the fellow no further, but the boy
was afterwards caught. In parting.
Devil Anse told me that he was very
sorry for the feud, and if he could
see the head of the Mccoy faction, he
| would be glad to shake hands and call
it square. | saw old Ran Mccoy a
week or two later, and delivered the
message of Devil Anse to him. The
old man fixed his one fiery eye on me,
and slowly said: IF Devil Anse wants
to settle up, let him come over here
and show himself to the courts
When they get through with him, if
there is anything left Of him, we car

like Artemus Ward, the famous

DISASTROUS FIRE
The Warren Hotel Reduced to
Ashes. Narrow Escape
Of inmates

The sleeping town was aroused
Sunday morning about 8 o'clock, by
the shooting Of guns and the whis-
Ting Of the electric Hight plant. Git
izsns rushed to their doors and win
dows, to see the curling smoke and
darting flames near the depot, and
soon on to the building affected.
The Warren hotel stood just east
Of the railroad. nearly opposite the
depot, and was the terminus Of the
stately Court avenue with its broad
expsnse Of shade trees. The building
was erected BY P. H. Thrasher in the
early days Of the town. 1t was an
attractive two story frame, with
porches and other features which
made IL an attractive building. In
front Of the south wing stood a
stately willow oak and two large gum
trees, affording a most delightful
shade for the porches surrounding
the building.
A few years ago the building be-
came the property Of J. 7. Warren,
president Of the First National Bank.
For q year his son-in-law, Mr.. Bryant,
and wife had conducted the hotel with
marked success. Mr.. Warren made
his home there, and number of reg.
ular boarders, including the editor Of
the Independent and wife, though
they did not room there.
Before anyone could arrive, the
whole south wing. with the kitcher
and large dining room, was filled Will
smoke. and almost instantly burs
into flames. Mr.. v. H. Morris, of thu
Independent Office. occupied room
over the dining room. The smoke

Virginia, a little town on the Tug
river, there were a number of saloons,
and slot machines for gambling.
Since then whisky has been abolished
from the state, and the town has
grown wonderfully. l stayed one
night with family across the river
in Kentucky, where there was pret-
ty girl named Ida. That was in Pike
county. Iwrote apiece of impromptu
verse for her.. which | afterwards
heard people repeating in the county
very poor stuff it was, as you will
see:
A Pike county maiden named Ida
Had beau who was fond of hard cider;
OF the cider he smelt
Till quite tipsy she felt
Whenever he sat down beside her,
This maid of Pike county, Kentucky,
Considered that life would be lucky
In cabin so snug
just over the Tug,
For he called her his darling, his ducky.
Said he: Come list to my lingo,
Let us fly to the mountains Of Mingo;
You shall sing and shall play,
And shall dance all the day,
And never wash dishes, by Jingol
They were married according to wishes,
And are living on taters and fishes;
They have nothing to carve
And are likely to starve,
And that's why she doesn't wash dishes.
In conclusion, it is proper to say
that never, in all my travels, was l
ever better treated than | was by
these mountaineers. One night ! got
off at Vivian station, on the Norfolk
& Western; it was midnight; | knew
of no place to sleep. A portly gen.
tleman came up to me, learned who |
was, and told me to follow him. For
half mile we walked over the rocks,
lighted by lantern, till we reached
miners cabin, where | got a bed for
the rest of the night. The gentleman
who went out Of his way to help me,
was DR.. Hatfield, nephew of the re-
doubtable Devil Anse, and now gov
ernor of West Virginia. He was the
most noted surgeon in that country,
and a man Of high intelligence, al
though neither his father ncr his un-
Gle could read or write.

surpass in interest those hereto
fore enjoyed by our readers.
One of the letters is a vivid de-
scription of the writer's visit to
the New York Cotton Exchange,
where the price of the staple is
mainly fixed. and this shows how
it is done. Such information as
this, which no other correspond
ent but ours could have succeeded
in getting, perhaps, as he has
peculiar facilities for getting on
the inside nearly everywhere, is
of real value to the people, and
none can afford to miss it. Or
ders should be given in advance
for copies, or. better still, every
one interested land who is not?)
should subscribe. We also ad-
wise our readers to preserve these
papers, as the articles therein
are of permanent, historic inter-
est, and will read as well next
year as now. If possible, these
letters will be kept up, even if
the have to be shortened some,
as the writer says he is pretty
busy with his own work, but
likes to talk to his old neigbors
and kinfolks.

NEW YORK
LETTER

The year 1908 was one of the most
interesting | have ever experienced,
for it was then that az Special Pen
sion Examiner l travelled over West
Virginia and eastern Kentucky, meet
ing the mountaineers and seeing some
of the toughest country in this ma
tion.
The Tug River. a branch Of the Big
Sandy, is the dividing line between
the two states for many miles, and its
banks were the scene Of bloody fights
among the feud factions who did their
murderous work there twenty or
thirty years ago. Starting almost
from nothing. these feuds ragged be-
tween several factions, the most noted
of which was the Hatfield d-McCoy con-
tingent. Devil Anse" Hatfield head
cd the West Virginia clan, while
IRAN" Mccoy led the faction on the
Kentucky side. There were per-
haps fifty of each gang, and all
went armed day and night; that
is, they slept with their guns and
knives, and were always ready for a
fight to the death. At least half of
them were killed before the feud
died out. A Mccoy gang met some
Hatfelds one day near the river bank,
and laid them low; then other Hat
fields crossed the river into Pike
county, Kentucky, and "treed" their
enemies in a log cabin near Black
berry branch of Pond creek. l saw
the spot where it had stood. The be-
seiged NcCoys shot out at their pur-
suers through the logs Of the cabin,
and got more than one victim, but
the Hatfelds crept up to the cabin
and set it afre. Then one Of the Nc
Coy women went out with a pitcher
Of buttermilk and tried to put out
the fire. She was shot dead by a
Hatfield bullet. but just who fired 1t
was never found out. That was the
beginning Of the end. The people on
both sides so strongly condemned the
shooting Of a woman that the feud
died out through public contempt
The cabin burned down; "Ran" Nc
Coy and two Of his sons tried to es.
cape; the old man alone got away
but always carried deep scars from
that conflict.
