CAREER ENDED.

The career or Sid. Hatfield,
killed with his lieutenant, Ed.
Chambers, on the steps of the
court house Il Welch last August,
during a gun fight, was wound up
last Monday when a jury in Grim
inal court Of Mcdowell county
found three men, charged with his
killing, not guilty.
Others were tried in January
and found by the jury not guilty.
The prosecuting attorney had these
indictments dismissed. 1t will be
remembered that Sid. Hatfield was
tried for murder in Logan county
several months before he was shot
and found not guilty. Now all the
men indicted for the killing of
himself and Chambers go fccc. We
know nothing of the merits of
either side but it occurs that these
people Have license to shoot in
these counties and none are con-
victcd. When all are killed. peac &
may reign.

HUNTINGTON PRIMARY.

The primary election held in
Huntington last Monday was one
OF great interest, not only for the
city, but for the whole state and,
III fact. great interest was held for
many states. No presidential cam
palgn has ever excited the interest
of the people OF Huntington that
the present primary is doinga
=, 1t is all oc-
caSloned by reason of the fact that
&. w. Campbell. a wealthy lawyer
OF that city was elected mayor. The
cdd thing and the unexpected and
the unusual thing about the whole
affair is that Campbell, when he
became mayor, conceived the idea
to enforce to the letter certain old
ordinances which had long been
dead on the statutes of the CITY.
Ever since Huntington has been
known far and near as a city with
the lid on and aA one ruled under
the "blue sky" law.
1t has naturally divided the CITY
into different camps. Campbell is
running on the Democratic ticket
but asserts himself to be in a great
measure independent.
There were two contestants on
each ticket in thc primary election.
On the Democratic ticket were
Mayor Campbell and e.. ID. Thorn
ton; on the Republican ticket we're
Floyd S. Chapman, former mayor.
and John l.. Whitten. There were
about $4,000 voters registered. The
results of The primary Monday re-
suited in Campbells nomination
by Il large lead and Chapman on
the Republican ticket by much
smaller majority.

NUMBER 36
FISH PLACED IN STREAMS.

The game and fish commission
has finished the distribution of
! 100000 brook trout and 100000
rainbow lout, planted in the di
fercnt streams in Randolph, Web
Ster, PochahontaS, Nicholas, and
Grcenbrier counties. In addition
to this, the government is supply
ing all the applications made to it
by citizens OF the State, with large
| quantities of fish.
A vigorous campaign is being
wa2cd by the officers Of the COM
mission in enforcing the law
| against violatorS of the fish law.
Fifty arrests and convictions have
been had since the first day of
April for various violations, prin-
clpally, however, for fishing with
out license. 1t is necessary to
have license to fish which must
be carried on the person of the
party while fishing.
Men have been employed and
placed on the trout streams of the
! state, which have been closed
against fishing for the purpose Of
seeing that the order closing said
streams is enforced, as we'll as con-
trolling the fishing in the open
streams of the state
The game and fish commission is
determined to break up the prac-
tice Of dynamiting the streams of
the state. This form of violation
has been permitted to 60 unnoticed
for number Of years, but a de-
tcrmined effort will be made to
bring every man to justice who
dynamitcS the streams of this state,
il is said.
All persons WHO have constructed
dams in the rivers of the state will
be expected 10 Immediately put in
fish ladders, if no ladders have
been provided for. This has been
source OF great annoyance to the
commission in different sections of
the state by complaints coming in
urging that action be taken at once
to remedy this condition, a state
ment said.
BE Il sport and obey the COM
missions orders. Protect the fish
and game--help them multiply;
it is for the advantage of all good
Sportmanship. Think of what u
good time YOU can have when fish
are plentiful. Report all violations
OF the Law, regardless of who the
person may be.

when he believes that the decision
is clearly wrong.
The decision was concerned
with the definition of the word

mean "only that portion of land
which is or may be used for agri-
cultural purposes" Judge LazZclI

word "slrfacc" had clearly been
