KILLED IN A TUNNELElias Hatfield, Noted for HU Connection With the Hatfield-McCoy Feud,U Dead.Elias Hatfield, noted for his cennection with the McOoy-Hat-field feud, was killed in a tunnel near here Sunday. He was walking through the tunnel when a train overtook him. His body was mangled. That it wasn’t a rifle ball which killed him is surprising. None of the Hatfields probably ever expected to die in any other way.Hatfield was released from jail two years ago after serving part ot his sentence for killing Sheriff H. E. Ellis, one of the McCoys. That was one of the last murders of the famous feud, and it was one of the few for which a Hatfield was ever convicted. Since getting out of prison Elias Hatfield has been living near the place at which he was killed.
