Judge Jackson summoned all of them 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 we'll on his way, Judge Jackson told the detectives that if they wanted their man, they would have to get him, just like the Nc Coys had been trying to do for number of years. They never went.
 "Anse" Hatfield spent the last ff- teen years of his life quietly and peaceably on small farm he owned in Logan county. He raised good many hogs and but seldom left his community. Once he was prevailed upon by some enterprising amuse- ment manager, to go on the vaude- vile stage. He made all preparation to oso but abandoned the idea when an old indictment was produced, which had been squashed on condi- tion that the old mountaineer agree to remain at home the rest of his days.

FAMED FEUD LEADER
 DIES WITH BOOTS ON

BLUEFIELD, w. Va, Oct 23.-An. derson, the son of the late Floyd Hat. field, leader in the Hatfield Mccoy feuds, was mysteriously shot and killed here today.
 Anderson Hatfield, known as "Dev- il' Anse" was one of the leaders of the historic feud between the Hat. field and Mccoy families in the noun tains of West Virginia and Northern Kentucky. Shot at from ambush and in hand-to-hand combat scores of times with the McCoys, he had always predicted he would live to die la natural death. His predictions did not come true.
 "Devil' Anse" had a reputation as a crack shot, that was known thru out the mountainous region of the two states, and at the age of seven. ty he could shoot 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 early eighties, he would shoot on sight any member of the Mccoy fam fly
 The celebrated feud of the Hat field family with the McCoys was .started over some hogs, one of the Hatfelds winning a lawsuit that was brought to determine their ownership Soon after that brother of Devil Anse" was shot and wounded in more than fifteen places by one of the McCoys. The feud then started and did not end until the few re- maining McCoys went over into Ken lucky where they now reside.
 Devil Anse" had none of the at tributes of the "bad man" in his character. He always was recogniz- ed as 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 Judge J. Jackson, known as the Iron Judge" who was appointed to the Federal bench by President Lincoln, and former Governor E. W. Wilson, the former protecting Hatfield from

capture when he had been called in. to court, and the latter refusing to honor requisition of the governor of Kentucky, for the arrest of Devil Anse" on a charge of, killing some particular member of the Mccoy fam ily.
 Detectives, real and alleged, had arranged for the capture of Hatfield, spurred by reward, after they had seen to it that he was indicted on a charge of whiskey 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 sono after he left the court room, but

Real Character
OfCaluin, T., Seen
In Letter to BOv

Something of the real character
of Calvin Coolidge, jr., the son of
the President who died here last
month, was revealed in a letter
written by him more than a year
ago to a boy friend in East Orange,
n. j., and sent to the President
by the latter and made public last
night.
In this letter of young Caivins
he refused to consider himself
the first boy of the land" and
declared that such a title should
go only to some boy who had dis
tinguished himself through his
own action"
The letter in full follows:

Dear Friend:
I thank you very much for your
kind letter.
Yes, l remember Paul Reynolds

will. l believe Paul was his

calling me the first boy of the

Rather the first boy of the land
would be some boy who had dis
tinguished himself through his
own actions.
Wishing you good luck. I am,
Sincerely yours.
