MINGO COUNTY, GOAL FIGHT SCENE, ONCE INDIAN BATLEGROUND
" ' (By Associated Press) WILLIAMSON, West Va,, Jan. 4. Sine the early days when first settlers from Virginia fought their way to the western country against bands of hostile Indians, Mingo county, West Vifginia, and Pike countk, Kentucky, just across its border, have been almost continuous battlegrounds. Mingo county's latest struggle is between the coal operators and the miners, but after series of outbreaks which attracted country-wide attention federal troops are maintaining order. After the early settlers had disposed of the Indians, the moonshiners took the field and for years fought and sometimes vanquished the hated revenue agents, protected. as they often were against attack in the high hills and deep valleys that cover this section. Then came the famous HatfieldMcCov feud of the early 80's and 90's,
which resulted in the practical wiping
out of the McCoy family, and wblcn
caused two state governors to take a
hand in its suppression. For some
years after the feud the moonshiners again took the field, and although prohibition is now a law o the land, the
"makln of licker" has never been giv en up entirely In these hills. Chapter of Blood.
Strn another chapter of blood was
written In Mingo when efforts were mado this year to organize the coal miners. An unhappy climax came about in Matewan. W. Va., on May 19, .1920, when in a fight In the streets ten men were killed, seven of whom were guards of a private detective agency, cent into the district to eject union miners from company homes. Since the Matewan fight Mingo has been th scene of other disorders and railroad mining properties have been destroyed by explosives. Intermittent warfare between operators guards and miners and their sympathizers followed in such proportions that recently Governor Cornwell, of West Virginia, called on the federal government for trops. When a provisional battalion was sent to Mingo, martial law was declared here and several other towns and villages. In the meantime, miners ejected from company houses organized tent colonies, and hundreds of families are living in canvas homes in Mingo. This situation raised a question of sanitations. Trials Pending. In the clashes in Mingo the names Hatfield and McCoy have figured prominently. In the Matewan fight Chief of Police Hatfield took part and later was indicted for murder. His trial is pending. In the week following a McCoy on a lonely mountain road was badly wounded by an unidentified assailant. These fights have caused old settlers to hark back to the day when the Hatfield clan, following the killing of one of their brethren, under the leadership of "Devil Anse" Hatfield, swore what was known as the "Black Oath." The story is told that twenty members of the clan, kneeling around a campfire in the hills of Mingo county,
p'pdgpd themselves to the absolute destruction of the McCoy family. As a result men, women and children of the enemy clan found no mercy, and the teud became known far and wide as one of the bloodiest in the history of the mountains. . Strange to say three of the detective guards who were killed in the Matewan fight this year were descendants of state guards and officers who were sent into Mingo in the early 90's to put down the feud. With the federal troops in the section, the county, for the first time in many years apparently is in a fair way to obtain peace and calm.
ed to take the places of excused jur
ors. Robrt H. Whltesell, of Eaton, was
foreman of the Jury. The charge upon which Gilmore was indicted was filed against him by Miss
Amy Von Kanel, of Hamilton, O., domestic science teacher in the local
schools. She charges that Gilmore. on the night of December 16, at 2
o'clock in the morning, forcibly en
tered her bedroom through a window at the home of Mrs. Minnie Michael, where Bhe rooms, and attacked her. Gilmore has been confined in the county Jail in default of $5,000 bond since his arrest, which was made about 28 hours after the alleged attack took place. , After he is arraigned and pleads to the indictment, Gilmore's case will be set for trial. The arraignment date has not been announced.

Minors No Longer Allowed In Billiard Halls Here
Frequenting of billiard halls and card parlors of the city by minors must stop, according to Prosecutor Paul J. Beckett. "I am personally opposed to young boys frequenting these places. There is a law which was made expressly to keep them from it, and I intend to have this law enforced," Mr. Beckett stated. Chief of Police Wenger also came out with the statement that boys and girls under 18 years were to be off the streets by 8 p. m., unless accompanied by their parents or some older person.

POLAND TO PROVIDE FOR CHILDREN'S GARE
(By Associated Vrss.) LONDON, Jan. 4. Poland's new constitution probab)y will contain a provision for care 6f children by the
state which will make it unique, in: opinion of officials here who have seen !
the draft. The article which now is!
before the Polish Diet reads: "Each child deprived of parental care or who is neglected morally or materially, has the right to secure care and aid from the state. The sphere of the state's duties in this capacity will be defined separately by laws, which will foresee as well the protection of mothers who may require aid, before the birth of the child and the protection of the child in infancy." As far as known here no constitution in the world includes such a provision.
