r AFTER EIGHTEEN MONTHS AR
REST ALLEGED MURDERER OF
BURMAN HATFIELD.
c State Polite Follow Trail Until They
i. Are Sure of Facta in Caae.
E Back In July, 1920, just about two
n months after the industrial warfare
n flared up In the tragic street battle
c of Matewan, Burnian Hatfield a dej
puty sheriff of McDowell county was
mysteriously shot to death as be
walked along the Norfolk und Western
* railroad track noar his home between
- Mohawk anil U'ar Kair'.o across the
>1 Mingo county line. *
There were no eye witnesses to the
e murder, so far as county authorities
n could learn. Local officers investigat
. ed and soon passed It up as one of
the numerous unsolved tragedies of
the southwestern corner of the state
' Even relatives of Hatfield, whose famlf
lly has long been famed among the
n inhabitants of the Mingo and Met.
Dowell hills as a clan which never
o failed to exact "an eye for an eye"
il abandoned hope of ever clearing the
mystery.
il Two Never Forgot.
But there were two state troopers
d who have been patrolling the area In
it which this particular murder took
place since the organization of the
r West Virginia police force who re.
solved that justice In this case must
? be served. They were determined
l~ that the murderer of Du-rman Hatfield
must answer to society for the das'
tardly act ?hat snuffed out the Ufa of
^ a fellow guardian of the peace.
- These two trooperB were Corporal
Charles C. Ward and Private Otis C.
Newman, of Company B? stationed at
t War Eagle. When thoy weren't ne,1
tually engaged in enforcing Governor
E. F. Morgan's martial law proclamation
In Mingo, clearing their territory
of Illicit whiskey manufacturers or glvr>
lng their attention to other forma of
" lawlessness which demanded lmmea
dlato action, they were endeavoring
0 to run down the slayer of Deputy
r Sheriff Burman Hatfield.
The details of the case and the results
of the efforts of these two state
f troopers Is beBt told by the official report
of Captain J. R. Brockus, com'
mandlng B. company, to Colonel Jacka
son Arnold, superintendent o< public
n safety, which follows:
The Official Report.
el
f [ "On July 14, 1920, Burman Hatfield
n deputy sheriff, McDowell county. W.
Va., was shot from ambush and killed
I' on the right of way of the N. & W.
Ry. between Mohawk and War Eagle.
e No arrests were made and the identity
s ! of the guilty parties appeared to be a
-' mystery. Hatfield's home was burned
a on the same night or the night follow
r lug the murder. A reward of $1,000.00
was offered for the arrest and convlc'
i tlon of the murderer.
1 ! "Noah Lee, age 40, married, living
r on the head waters of Gilbert Creek
9 about eight miles north of War Eagle,
member of the United Mine Workers
s of America who had been very active
in the industrial troubles in this district,
was suspected of the murder.
"Corporal Charles C. Ward and Private
Otis C. Newman, Company B.
e W. Va. State Police, stationed at War
5 | Eagle gained the confidence of two of
- j Lee's pals and secured affidavits from
e them which led to the issue of a
.j' warrant for the arrest of Lee on a
j charge of murder.
j "On the night of December 14, 19?1,
| Ward and Newman sot out across the
e mountain on horseback determined to
5- j bring Lee in. He was -found at his
d home and placed under arrest about
e 8:00 P. M. He was brought into War
h j Eagle that night and the next morning
taken to Welch, McDowell county, and
I lodged in jail. Corporal Ward faels
i confident that he will be able to se
cure a conviction.
"The Gilbert Creek country la one

>-| the state police have been fired upon
I- while operating in that territory on
p. i several occasions."

mlssioner, says he has been forced
s to transfer the burden of enforcement
|tj of tho liquor laws to tho shoulders of
the state police, with the assistance
of county and municipal authorities.
Colonel Arnold accepted the burden
and hundreds of reports from detach

HIS BEST MARKET. .
We have stated in previous issues
of Chicago Dairy Produce that the
best argument for a large output of
butter this winter was the fact that the
farmer's best market for his grain was
through his cows. Dairy farmers have
been aware of the fact for some time,
but that the knowledge is becoming
more widespread each day is evi-i
denced by the increasing number of
creameries and the new fields into;
which the industry is moving. We
note there is no complaint from the
farmer in dairy sections about prices
and hard times such as are coming
from territories where the farmers
give all their attention to grain, and
dispose of their products on the regular
markets.
The difference between selling grain
in the market and selling it through the
cows in the shape of milk or butterfat
is very close to 100 per cent; in
other words, the farmer can get twice
as much for his grain in selling it as
butterfat as he can by marketing the
actual grain.
A table recently prepared by Wallace's
Farmer, the publication owned
by our United States Secretary of
Agriculture, gives the relative value
: of corn and oats based on the butterfat
price. These figures are attracting
' considerable attention and arc gcneral]
ly said to be conservative, with allowi
ance made for c?st of labor and investment.
The table starts with a butterfat
price of 35c and on this basis corn
! is figured at 52c a bushel and oats at
30c a bushel. With butterfat at 38c
the corn value advances to 57.6c and
oats to 40c. With the butterfat price
at 40c corn value is 61c and oats value
42c. At 45c fbr butter fat the corn
value is 70c and oats value 48c.
Just prior to the Thanskgiving holiday
the butterfat price varied from 35c
to 40c in a considerable part of the
territory, but in cooperative districts
reached 45c in many cases and probably
higher in some. On this day
i cash corn on the Chicago Board of
Trade sold around 49c to 51c, depend'
ing on the grade, and cash oats 31c
to 35c. The farmer, on cash corn at
50c, was probably not realizing over
30c; and if he was getting 40c for butterfat
his corn value, fed through his
cows, would bring him 61c instead of
about 30c per bushel that he dould
realize by selling his corn in the
market. The same proposition holds
true for oats. If he was getting 45c
for his butterfat, the corn value on the
butterfat basis t,vr> ?nh > k?ii
times what he could get by selling his
corn in the markets.
In view of these considerations, and
regardless of what the situation may
be in the matter of imports of butter
or weather conditions for keeping
cows, the farmer is going to find this
1 best market for his grain and adjust
| his conditions to take advantage of
ifHs
ctows furnish not only the best
I market but a cash market every day
and he is going to milk the cows for
all he can get from them.
THE FARMER'S DOLLAR.
The farmer's butter dollar of 1920 is
1 now 81.8 cents.
The farmer's milk dollar of 1920 is
now 76.6 cents.
The farmer's egg dollar t>f 1920 is
; now 66.7 cents.
The farmer's hog dollar of 1920 is
' now 61.0 cents.
The farmer's cattle dollar of 1920 is
now 57.7 cents.
The farmer's wheat dollar of 1920 is
, now 49.3 cents.
The farmer's oats dollars of 1920 is
now 37.2 cents.
The farmer's corn dollar o? 1920 is
now 35.2 cents.
The farmer's potato dollar of 1920 is
n?)w 29.6 cents.
The foregoing figures prove beyond
question of doubt that dairying is the
most profitable branch of farming.?

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that seienoe has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Medicine is taken internally
and acts through the Blood

thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, ^iviag the patient
