men IN Mine TOWNS GET
DEATH THREAT LETTERS

HUNTINGTON. w. Va, Aug. 20
Two companies of infantrf have left
Camp Sherman, Ohio. on a Norfolk
and Western train bound for Mate
wan. w. Va. and Williamson, w. Va.
following request to the War Depart
ment for troops by the West Virginia
governor.
1t was stated at the governors Of
fice that trouble had been threatening
in the coal selds around these towns
but that no actual disturbance had
occurred. The governors action In
asking for the troops is considered a
precautionary measure.
Information that the campaign OF
terrorization OF the Williamson coal
fields which has been going on since
May 10, when seven Baldwin-Felts-
men weer ambushed and slain al
Matewan. were to reach their climax
tomorrow. led Governor Cornwell to
appeal for Federal protection.
Camps had been established In the
woods and all preparations made by
the gunmen to pour killing rain OF
fire upon half dozen mining camps to-
morrow. ,% W..
Adding to, Governor Cornwelrs df-
termination to call for REINFORCE
ments is the fact that more than a
score of widely known residents OF
the county have received anonymous
letters warning them to prepare for
death" as they had but short time
to live. -.
One OF these letters was received by
A. f. Hatfield. proprietor of the
Urias Hotel at Matewan, who was
killed by a shot from ambush a few
days ago. Hatfield was one of the
principal witnesses at the grand
jury investigation which resulted in
the indictment of fourteen men for
the Matewan murder.
Among the others who have been
warned to prepare for death are
Leonard Hatfield. justice of the
peace, at Thacker; l.. e. Hatfield, and
A. r. Geoma, superintendent Of the
high school at Matewan.
Two hundred troops passed through
Kenova, w. Va, this morning en-
route from Camp Sherman to Will
hanson. where they will encamp to-
day. The men are in charge OF Col.
William NJ. Burkhart, who saw con-
siderable action in France.
