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 moun
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
a natural death. His prediction^ did
not come true.
“Devil” Anse” had a reputtaion 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 a 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
ily.
The celebrated feud of the Hat
field family with the McCoys was
started over some hogs, one of the
Hatfields winning a lawsuit that was
brought to determine their ownership.
Soon after that a 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
tucky 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 a 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
PROGRESSIVE NOMINEE MAKES LAST
STAND ON AN ILLINOIS PLATFORM;
ADVANCES FAIR-DEAL GOVERNMENT
Says He Will Smash Capitalistic Economy In
the Eye; Both Parties Dominated By Wall
Street; Slush Funds Look Bad.
PEORIA, 111., Oct. 23.—Urging American labor to elect him
on the Progressive ticket in order that they may receive a fair deal
from the government, LaFollette came to Peoria last night to wind
up his campaign in Illinois.
“If elected,” LaFollette promised, “I will smash the economic
‘heir-archy’ which now runs the government.” lie repeated his
charges that both the old parties are dominated by Wall Street and
said that even now, the government is waging a bloodless and de
vastating war on its own people. The latest act of this war on
America, said LaFollette, is the collosal slush fund which is being
raised by the Republican and Democratic parties to corrupt the
American electorate. It is planned by them, to buy the election.
The Progressive nominee pledged himself thuslv: “When I am the
president of the United States, I will , enforce all lows equally, and
if you don’t like the law, I’ll enforce it until you become so sick
of it that you’ll repeal it.”
capture when he had been called in
to court, and the latter refusing to
honor a 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 a 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 pounced upon him
sono after he left the court room, but
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 well on his way, Judge
Jackson told the detectives that if
they wanted their man, they would
have to get him, just like the Mc
Coys had been trying to do for a
number of years. They never went.
“Anse” Hatfield spent the last fif
teen years of his life quietly and
peaceably on a small farm he owned
in Logan county. He raised a 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
ville stage. He made all preparation
to d 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.
