Anse Hatfield, of the rugged banks of Tug river, was in the city last evening. Probably no man in the State has a wider reputation in certain circles than has Ansa of "Devil" Anse as he is familiarly called. His reputation as a good law abiding citizen of course in days gone by is probably not as good as it might have been, but still his world wide reputation as an outlaw was brought about by newspaper fakirs an professional liars. It is no doubt a fact that during the Hatfield-McCoy feud, the Hatfield faction of which was led by "Devil" Anse that a large number of both men and women were killed. But still during all that trouble, Harfield claims that he never killed a person unless he was attacked first by the opposing faction and was compelled to act in self defense. Hatfield has been out in McComas district in this county looking at some real estate and will probably make a purchase in that section. He intedns moving his family to this county, and making it his future home. His entire life time has been spent on the waters of Tug River, and now during his latter days he has become dissatisfied with the country. Mr. Hatfield is now an active and enthusiastic church worker and he is now a man of peace. The Huntington Advertiser, Wednesday Evening, August 14, 1895 Submitted 10 June 1998
