REPORT WORK ON RAILROAD
 PROGRESSING

ANCHORAGE, Jan. 10. - William Gerig, assistant chief engineer and F. A. Hansen, superintendent of mainten- ance and construction, have returned from Chulitna where they have been inspecting railroad work and attend ing to other duties connected with railroad building.
 Speaking of the construction work. MT. Gerig stated that the present out look points to an early complexion of the large Susitna river bridge which is rapidly developing into a permanent structure at the hands of the master mechanics who have the work in charge. The grading and rock work MT. Gerig declared was also progressing beyond expectations which fact, he added, was chiefly due to the efficient supervision of MT. Hansen. The steel gangs will start laying steel just as soon as cOnven- tent, and according to the officials work this coming spring will com mence earlier than usual and be pushed to completion as fast as brain and braWn can accomplish the de- sired result.

West Virginia Feudist
 Dies dt Ripe Old Age

protecting Hatfield from capture when he had been called into court and the latter refusing to honor a acquisition of the governor of Ken lucky for the arrest of Devil Anse" on charge of killing some particular member of the Mccoy family.
 Detectives, real and alleged, had ar ranged for the capture of Hatfield spurred by a reward, after they had seen to it that he was indicted on charge of whisky selling, in 1888 Judge Jackson was on the bench at the time and was informed of the danger that awaited the accused man. Judge Jackson sent word to Hatfield that if he would appear in court with out an officer being sent for him, the court would see that he had ample protection until he returned to his home in Logan county.
 Hatfield appeared and was acquit- ted of the charge against him. Some of the detectives bounced upon him son after he left the court house, but years. They never went.
 before him, and threatened to send them all to jail, directing special of ficers to see that Hatfield was per mitted to reach his home. After Hat field was well on his way, Judge Jack soon after he left the court house, but wanted their man, they would have to get him, just like the McCoys had been trying to do fir a number of Judge Jackson summoned all of them
 "Anse" Hatfield spent the last if teen years of his life quietly and peaceably on small farm he owned in Logan county. He raised a good many hogs and but seldom left his community. Once he was prevailed upon by some enterprising amusement manager, to go on the vaudeville stage. He made all preparation to do so but abandoned the idea when an old indictment was produced, which had been quashed on condition that the old mountaineer agree to remain at home the rest of his days.
 Hatfield was born in Logan county, West Virginia, but then in the old do- main of the Old Dominion, in 1941, a short distance from the old cabin in which he died.

"Devil Anse" Hatfield, Shot at Scores of Times in the Hatfield Mccoy Historic Feud, Lived to Age of 80 and Died Natural Death.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, Jan 10 (by Associated Press). - Devil Anse' Hatfield, noted leader of the Hatrield, Mccoy feul 30 years ago, died Satur- day of pneumonia.
 Anderson CDevil AnseD Hatfield was one of the leaders of the historic feud between the Hatfield and Mccoy families in the mountains of West Vir- ginia and Northern Kentucky. Shot at from ambush and in hand-to-hand combat scores of times with the Me Coys, he had always predicted he would live to die natural death, as he now has at the age of 80, without bearing any marks of battle.
 Devil Anse" had reputation as a crack shot, that Was known through out the mountainous regions of the two states, and at the age of seventy he could shoot a squirrel out of the tallest timber. He often turned the trick for admirers, with the old rifle that he carried ready for action at all hours, and with which during the the early sos, he would shoot on sight any member of the Mccoy family.
 The celebrated feud of the Hat field family with theMcCoys was started over some hogs, one of the Hatfields winning a lawsuit that was brought to determine their ownership Soon after that a brother of "Devil Anse" was shot and woonded in more than fifteen places by one of the Me Coys. The feud then started and did not end until the few remaining Me Cows went over into Kentucky, where they now reside.
 Devil Anse" had none of the attri- butes of the "bad man" in his char acter. He always was recognized as q loyal friend of the many with whom he was acquainted. Numbered among those who believed he had been right by the position he took during the feud days, were the late John l.. Jack son. known as the "iron judge" who was appointed to the federal bench by President Lincoln, an d former Governor E. w. Wilson, the former

BEAVER TRAPPING IN
 MONTANA ON DECLINE

HELENA, Mont, Jan. 10 (by Ass0, ciated Press) ).-Trapping of beaver in Montana has fallen off sharply with the declining in prices paid for skins. Only 200 permits were issued in the state during 1920, State Game War den Jake DeHart reports, whereas l. 900 went out the previous year. There is more demand for marten but they are scarce, about 200 licenses for such trapping having been issued.

TO BUILD NEW CATTLE
BARN AT FAIR GROUNDS
Another Building to be Added
To Properties Of Fair
Association.

Atsa meeting of the directors of the
Fair Association it was decided to
push the building Of a new cattle and
horse barn. This barn is to be done
before the fair opens this year and is
to be built of concrete blocks. It will
be placed in line with the new hog
barn which was recently built.
With the completion Of the new
cattle barn The association will have
four modern and up-to-date buildings
on their premises and when a rest
room is added the associations property
will no doubt stand forth as the best
in the state.
Wm.- "A. Lindemann, secretary Of the
association announced that he is try
ing to obtain a carnival to open its
tents here during fair time. Nothing
definite has been. done so far as the
carnival companies are finding rather
.'hard sailing" on account of the pro-
hibitive railroad rates.
The question of holding races at the
Fair were also brought VI at the meet
ing but the directors decided that
there was not enough interest in this
sport to warrant any expense for this
past time.
New Ulm review., 1921-05-04
SPRINT BETWEEN EARTH
AND COMET PREDICTED
Aerial Thriller Will be Staged This
Summer. Also Brilliant Me-
teoric Shower.

For month this summer the earth
will engage in race with the periodic
comet Pons Winnecke and because it
will have a chance to win, it will en-
deavor, through his astral influences, to
"trip up its gaseous rival, according
to report made public by the OBJ
servatory Of the University of Cali
fornia at Berkeley. The earth will not
enter the race until the comet has a
lead of between $4,000, 900 and &c, ,0OO-
900 miles, but then it will "put every
thing it has, into its test with the
comet.
The tripping up" process of per-
turbations caused by the earth I'M
fuence, will pull the comet away from
its course somewhat, but it will con-
tinue to plunge along the cosmic
speedway at an undiminished pace.
It will cap its supremacy finally when
on June 81, it fips its tail so hard
against its terrestrial rival that the
impact will send out sparks. These
will go down in the record as metoric
shower. At the greatest brilliancy OBJ
servable from the earth the comet will
be of the eighth or ninth magnitude.
Nothing greater than the sixth mag
nitude can be observed by the naked
eye, SO the world at large will see
nothing Of the visitor, unless it is the
tail Tipping episode, on June 27.
Any potential prophesies that the
comet will do great damage to the
earth are out Of order, the Berkeley
observatory states. s
