Concert of to by Having Their Cut Off Take with Startliug and Serloux Indicted for Thug Seut Hence in a Richmond, Nov. prisoners at the county jail made things very unpleasant for the new sheriff, Mr.

Lafe Larsh, during Saturday nig-ht and Sunday. Soon after the supper hour Saturday they barred the iron door leading into the jail from the main corridor. This was accomplished by piling up chairs and tables against the inside of the door and wedging them fast. The prisoners then began to raise "old Ned." Bunks in the cells were overturned and an incessant bating was kept up on the side walls and iron flooring. Sheriff Larsh and the turnkey.

Ottoway Davis, made a rush for the big door, and were astonished to find that they could not move it a single inch. In the meantime the prisoners turned off the gas meter, putting the big building in total darkness. No "Grub" Till Monday Morning, The noise was kept up without a. single break during the night, and although the hot air furnace Was turned off and windows were opened, in the hope of making the prisoners surrender, it proved of no avail. Sunday morning the same condition of affairs pre- santed itself to the sheriff, and all attempts to persuade the inmates to tear down the barrier met with refusal.

Finally Sheriff Larsh announced that he would not make any further attempt to get in until Monday morning, and in the meantime not a single prisoner was to receive a morsel of food. This had the desired effect, and late Sunday night the pile of jail furniture was pulled down from the door. No food was administered the prisoners until Monday morning, however. JKOWXS AFFLICTED WITH RABIES. They DrinJ; the Blood of a Mad Dog and Startling Results Follow.

Muncie, Nov. a result of the ravages of a mad dog a peculiar condition has arisen and the is In the throes of a hydrophobia scare. Last Thursday a strange black cur appeared on the streets, frothing at the mouth and snapping at every dog it ran across, biting no less than fifty. On Friday at noon the police were notified that the dog had inaugurated a reign of terror in the northern part of the city and Patrolman Noble Thornburg shot him. The dog bled profusely, great pools of blood forming on the ground.

Before any one had time to muster up courage and go into the shed and remove the carcass some chickens, numbering about forty, went in and drank of the blood and picked at the wounds in the carcass. The result was startling. As a result of their nauseating diet they developed such a ferociousness that they attacked all who came near them, even pouncing upon brindle bulldogs and Newfoundlands, putting them to flight. They chased a woman for two squares, frightening her so badly that she had nervous prostration. Several of the afflicted fowls were killed and served on the table.

All who partook of them were taken sick, several dangerously. EDITOR INDICTED VOK IUOT. Sequel of an Election Nlcrht Incident at ITuton City. "Union City, Nov. S.

FAMOUS HATFIELD-M'COT FEUD. HatfleJdlg Election Day Exploit the Historic Quarrel Tnat Had Its Origin In a Petty lawsuit and Haa Caused Much Bloodshed. The newspapers have recently recited, with dua regard for their sensational Interest, the ails of old "Cap" Hatfield's election day xploit, of how he -went to the polls at Matewan, W. with a rifle and a shotgun and departed after killing three "CAP" HATFIELD AND HIS SON. men, fleeing with bis 12-year son to the mountains.

He was soon captured, however, and is now under arrest. This is all recent history, but it revives memories of the famous Hatfield-McCoy feud, In which "Cap" Hatfield was a conspicuous figure. This feud originated he- fore the breaking out of the civil war. l.rs immediate cause was the ownership of two bony and bristly mountain hogs. Over these hogs Anae Hatfieid and Randolph McCoy had a disagreement.

They went to law, and Hatfield was beaten. The dispute was not settled by any means, All the relatives of the families took sides, and the question was intensified. Shortly after the trial Bill StaytOD, a nephew of Floyd Hatfield, a son of a witness in the oaGB, was found dead with a bullet in his PMSOD. Two of the numerous McCoy boys were tried for the murder and acquitted. Soon afterward Jonce Hatfleld became enamored of RosacDa McCoy and kid napecl her.

Matters went along with an occasional death on either side until 1882, when the hottest kind of hostilities began. Old Cap" became the leader of the Hatflelds. Election day is always the favorite time for a gun fight among the Virginia mountaineers, In 1882 there was an election in Pike county. In the early afternoon the inevitable fight cropped out, this time between Ellison Hatfield and Talbot McCoy. Wlieb the spectators came out from their hiding places, they found Elison Hatfield lying on the ground dead.

Several of the McCoys, including a 13-year-old boy, Randolph McCoy, were arrested and confined in the log schoolhouse over night. Nest day the sheriff started through the lonely mountain woods with the prisoners for the Pike County jail. By this time the entire Hatfield clan had heard of the death of Ellison. They rallied immediately around Anse, the patriarch, and old "Cap," his SOD. They ambushed the sheriff, who had the McCoy prisoners in charge, and took matters into their own hands, The sheriff was released, but the McCoys were taken over the border into Kentucky nnd tied in a kneeling position to some saplings near ths margin of the boundary streams.

There was no begging for mercy on the part of the McCoys. They knelt grimly and sneeringly awaited their fate. Wall Hntfield stood in plain sight on the Virginia side of the river. "Are you ready?" he cried. "Yes," said old "Cap" and Anse and the other Hatfields.

"Take aim. Fire!" There was a rattle of rifles and two of the McCoys fell limp on their ropes. They were Tulbot and Farmer McCoy. The youug boy, Randolph, had not been hurt. He was there simply as a witness to the death of his brothers.

The boy was mounted in front of Wall Hatfieid aud the party started back for their mountain haunts. On the way old "Cap" suddenly called a halt. "That boy must die," said ho. Anse sat silent, thereby consenting. Wall Hatfiald raised his voice in the boy's behulf.

Some of the other Hatfields did likewise. It was no use. Anse, the patriarch, and old "Cap" ruled things with an iron hiind. So the boy was killed and left lying by the side of the road. Of course feeble attempts were made to capture the Hatfields, but without avail.

Two years later Jeff McCoy was captured by the Hatfields and shot dead in the presence of his sister. It seemed to be evident that the Hat- fields had fully determined upon the extermination of their enemies. No further murders tool; place, however, until 1888. On New Year's night the Hatfiolds shot and killed Calvin McCoy and Allapbore McCoy, and old man McCoy shot and killed Jonce Hatfield. The feud with the McCoys 'fras settled in 3898 by tbe mmriageof a McCoy to a Hatfield.

The Ruther- fords, who were killed by him on last election day, are said to have been cousins of tbe McCoys. Artful Dodgers.

Some authorities on dyeing say that silk receives and holds a dye better than any other fabric. In the sonth of China silkworms have been reared and silk manufactured for over 3,000 years. Roger, king of Italy, is said to havo introduced the silk culture into that country about 1146. Between the years 1760 and 1776 100,000 pounds of silk were exported from Georgia to England. Spain, formerly a large silk producer, in manufactured only 600,000 pounds, valued at £1,200,000.

The word shesh, found in the book of Genesis and translated silk, is the same which elsewhere is rendered by the translators "fine linen." As early as 1534 an English convocation decreed that the higher clergy during the solemn ceremonials of the church should wear silken gowns. Down to tbe sixth centnry tbe manufacture of silk seems to have been confined to China, a few districts in India and one or two in Persia.
