prisoners across Tug River and

Ephraim Hatfield, the father Of
Devil Anse". He told us that Bill
Tuck, while governor of Virginia,
had spent a whole afternoon on
his porch, near the mouth of Hat
field Branch. The old gentleman
had liked Bill, who was apparent
ly not in one of his bumptieus
moods at the time. He doesn't
think that the old dispute over the
hogs had so much to do with the
trouble. He thinks that the potent
"pyore corn" made some men feel
so mean and tough that day.

Randolph Mccoy had brooded
through the years and finally had
got some help in his efforts to
bring the Hatfields to the Ken

one Perry Cline, a politician of
sorts, induced Simon B. Buckner,
Governor of Kentucky, to offer
rewards for the men who had kill
ed his sons. The Hatfields decid-
