Fatal Shot
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.I


WEIGH, w. Va. August 1.-Two
men were held today for the killing
of Cid Hatfield and Ed Chambers resi-
dents of Matewan, W. Va, shot here
yesterday shortly before the former
was to appear in circuit court to an
swer to a charge Of being the insti-
gator Of the shooting at Mohawk, w.
Va, a year ago.
Hatfield was one of the most pic
turesQue characters in the state.
Through his name and the romance
attached to his participation liz the
ten men were killed, his death was
of sufficient significance to bring
comment from Governor e e Morgan
and G. F. Keeney, president of dis
trict II, United Mine Workers OF
America.
Governor Morgan expressed his re-
greet that the killings had occurred
and Keeney termed the act as "mur-
der"
C. E. Lively, a Baldwin -Felts de-
tective and George Buster" Pence, a
Mcdowell county deputy sheriff, were
the two men of the five arrested who
were held in connection with their
deaths. Both Lively and Hatfield
testified before the senate committee
which was investigating the industrial
situation in Mingo County recently.
Threatened To Get Lively.
Lively with several companions
are said to have been sitting on the
court house steps when Sid and his
companions, Ed Chambers, appeared
on their way to trial. Words ex-
changed between the two were fol-
lowed by shots which resulted in the
death of two men.
Sid is alleged to have said he
would get" Lively, after the latter
had testified against him in the first
Matewan battle trial. Lively's en-
ployer, Thomas Feltz, head of the
Baldwin Feltz detective agency, is
said to have also received letters in
which his life was threatened after
his brothers Albert and Lee fell VIC
Tins in the Matewan battle.
One hundred special deputies pa
trolled the streets of WEIGH today, in
cidents. The bodies of Hatfield and
Chambers were removed early this
morning to Matewan and there fifteen
state troopers and as many Mingo
county militia men were detailed to
the county to keep down trouble.
The widows of the men who came
here with them to attend the trial,
stated last night that their husbands
were unarmed. A coroner's jury
which was to have passed on the case
could not be obtained and their deaths
were pronounced due to gunshot
wounds from the hands of unknown
persons.

 be relieved of this tax was the Lower in 1868. Yellow Mill bridge was also a toll bridge as was Washington | bridge.
 This last named bridge was a toll | bridge up until 1889, when it was
 purchased from its private owners
 An act of the legislature made over this bridge te Fairfield and New --e.- | ven counties as a free bridge, the | counties assuming the care and main tenance thereof. This movement
 was to facilitate travel in the direc- | tion of this city.
 Previous to the railroad epoch which began about 1886 there were four main highways leading into Bridgeport. One ran to New Milford | one from Norwallx to Newtown; one from Monroe to Black Rock; and one frmo Huntington Center to this city The companies that built and main tained these roads charged a toll
 Gradually the communities found the conditions brought about by these toll roads becoming intoierable. They proved obstructive to traffic and tend l ed to strangulate industry. The peo- pie demanded that they be done avs1y 1 with and although the owners of the great turnpike companies protested vigorously against the chartering o the Housatonic Railroad the new in
