LOGAN, w. Va, Jan. 9-Captain An derson (Devil Anse) Hatfield, former confederate army officer and for many years a famous feudist who died Fri day, today was buried beside his two sons, Troy and Elias, in the family plot, 300 feet beneath the mountain range which sheds it's water into the Big Sandy on one side of the mountain and the Guyandotte on the other. The obsequies were attended by eleven of the surviving children, almost all of the forty grandchildreTs several great grandchildren and about seventy five direct descendants.
 The funeral was characterized by dramatic occurrences. Before the march to the cemetery, the hands of two of the dead mans sons, long es- tranged. were clasped over the coffin. These ware Cap" Hatfield, the fa ther's namesake and feud lieutenant, and Dr. E. R. Hatfield of Charleston. The reconciliation was followed by a general demonstration of approval and sympathy.
 AS the procession moved, the broth CTS formed the chief subject of dis cussion and at the grave before the body was lowered, Cap" Hatfield ad- dressed Uncle Dyke" Jarratt, an old preacher and friend of the family, and told him he had made his peace with God and was ready to be baptized" whenever the minister was ready.
 T win baptize you. poy," responded the old clergyman, ''in the hole where baptized your pappy." To this Cap. Hatfield raised his hands above his head in the attitude of one solemnly vowing and declared he was done with foff fV Tf nj longer ranked malice and that if any man sought his life blood he would not resist.
 There was no funeral sermon by ''Uncle Dyke" but Rev. Green McNei- ley. who by the elder man was fa- miliarly referred to as my son in the gospel spoke briefly on the 'lesson of death"
 There was a mournful crowd at the house, however, gathered on the porch and about the body lying in a golden oak coffin, men an women sang old time camp meeting hymns. sim" Thompson. famed as a leader in psalm singing, directed. So numerous did the mourners become that the multi tude was directed to the rear door oi the house where it. formed in line and proceeded through the hall and passed the body of the dead feudist.
 The day was raw and ugly. rain and snow falling alternately. while tht damp air was piercing. Tn this down pour the crowd stood uncomplaininglS but 1t was found necessary frequently to hold an umbrella over the caslei to save the corpse from being drenched.
