who have half a dozen Giant machines

make daily flights. 1t is not Demp-
sey's fault that he has not been soar

the champion goes to the hangers and
usually waits until the aviators go
up into the air. Then he waves them
reluctant goodbye If there is one
thing that Dempsey would like to do,
it is to make en- aerial flight at this
time. But if he did, Jack Kearns anil
Tex Richard probably would die of
apoplexy.

Were Brutally Killed.
To every open mind there must be
but one version-Sid Hatfield and Ed
Chambers were brutally killed by men
who were sworn officers of the law.
There is but one belief in the minds of
the people of West Virginia and OF
the nation-"That they were trapped
to their DEATH" 1t was a cold blooded
murder, deliberately planned and
cruelty carried out. Today innocent
blood stains official hands that should
be white with purity.

the unconquered grief of the devoted

and fought heroically to save him.
What more could be said? "He never
made brow look dark nor caused a
tear but when he lid" 1t took an
1nhuman monster to kill the light in
his eyes-steal the roses from his lips
and take him forever from his girl
wife.
1t was my good fortune to know
synonymous of these hills and loved
the West Virginia mountains from
which he gathered strength. Friend

Sometiems when stirred with deep
emotion, men lose their heads, and
loose their tongues, saying things they
afterwards regret. Even in the stress
and storm of this terrible industrial
conflict, I never heard Sid Hatfield

unclean word. He was tee totaler anC

Looking out upon these kentucky
hills, it occurs that this was once
called, 'the dark and bloody ground,
but white did not fight white or
