LOOKING
BACKWARD
THOSE FEUDIN HATFIELDS
AND McCOYS
(From Chattanooga Times;


A news item says that there
has been new shooting affair
between the Hatfields and the
McCoys. In a West Virginia noun
tain town, policeman Allen Hat
field shot and killed Hubert Nc
Coy, claiming sef-defense. But
one doubts if this is a reopening
Of the famous feud. The clans
have been friends since the Hat
fields and McCoys joined togeth-
er to sing 1.-THE Love of Rosanna
Mccoy" at the American Folk
Song Festival in the Kentucky
mountains in 1941.
1t was the love of Rosanna Nc
Coy which brought on the blood
lest period of the famous feud.
About 100 people were killed
in the Hatfield-McCoy war, The
Hatfields lived near the border of
West Virginia; the McCoys just
across the border on the Kentuc-
ky side.
In 1863, the McCoys claimed
that the Hatfields had stolen some
of their hogs. Devil Anse Hat
field, father of Is feudin Hat
field children, resented the insult
and went over and shot Hartman
Mccoy until he was dead dead,
dead.
There were several other kill
ings, but the bloody years Of the
feud did not come until 1882.
In that year Rosanna Mccoy
fell in love with Jonce Hatfield.
The McCoys heard about it, and
captured Jonce. Rosanna turned
against her own kin and tod the
Hatfields about the capture of
her lover. Anse and his other
sons rescued Jonce. In retaliation,
some of the McCoys stabbed Eli
son Hatfield. Whereupon Devil
Anse captured three of the Nc
Coy brothers.
Ellison Hatfield died of his
stab wounds, and in bloody re-
prisal the Hatfields murdered the
three brothers whom they had
captured.
Twenty-three Hatfields We're
indicted for murder, but no one
had the courage to serve h e
warrants. Bill Hatfield, known as
Cap, led number of his clan
and burned the Mccoy home
stead. Two McCoys were killed in
this incident.
But the hatchet was buried and
proof of it's burial was seen when
in the song festival in 1911, the

Looking At The Weather

to the general belief that hard
winter makes for good crops and
a warm winter the reverse, crops
were abundant following the
warm winter. This was proof in
deed that 'the wind is tempered
to the shorn lamb"
The snow in various parts of
the county was reported Il 10 is
inches deep on February Il.
There were light to heavy snow
flurries nearly every day Tor two
weeks. An erroneous report went
out that this county had q inch
es of snow. Lowell Thomas and
other newsmen said the snow
here was the heaviest in the
country and last week Newsweek
Magazine, in speaking of severe
weather all over the country said
that Dickinson county bore the
brunt of the spell with q inches
of snow.

Big league scouts must have
got an eye-ful last Sunday at
White Sox park.
And agents for both the Sox
and the Cubs must have seen in
the East-West Negro baseball
classic. just exactly what the doc
ordered for both ailing teams.
Before a $4,000 crowd, was pa
raded an impressive exhibition of
Negro stars, with a substantial
number of players who are obvi-
ously big league timber.
BASEBALL wiseacres will con-
slider it a major bench blunder if
the White Sox fail to pick up the
option they are supposed to have
on Gentry JesSup, 24-year old
pitching ace of the Chicago Amer
lean Giants.
The big highlander, reported
ly over-worked in recent weeks
bowled over nine batters in order
during his three-inning stint.
1t wasn't hard to visualize what
Jessup could mean to the Sox
pitching staff which can't today
boast SEQ average hurler.
FOR talent-hungry scouts, Sun
day must have been like a kids
day in candy store.
There was 19-year old Jose Co.
las, Memphis left-fielder, who
looked good enough to brighten
any major league lineup. The
Cubs need him badly. Colas bat
ted in two of the Vests runs and
handled himself on the bases with
class.
