McCoy shot Ellison. Then came a bloody battle, which resulted in the Hatfields seizing three of the McCoys, taking them over the line into the McCoy’s own state, Kentucky, tying them to trees and shooting them full of holes. It was in 1882 when the Hatfields thus wiped out the insult to their younger brother.The father aod the other brothers are still alive. The only one of the brothers who was ever shot by the McCoys was Ellison, and that was the fight over Elias back in 1882. Keports have had this feud patched up numberless times, but in that regien few deeds of violence ever occur which are not ascribed to the hatred of the two families, , dating back two generations.— Bluefield, (W. Va.,) Cor. New Y'ork Sun.
