- SHERIFF CLEANING | UPLOGAN COUNTY| Chafin Makes “Mountain Dew” Dealers and Gamblers Turn Over New Leaf. By the Associated Press. LOGAN, W. Va., April 23.—Logan county, in the heart of the great coal fields of southern West Virginia, has “turned over a new leaf” because its sheriff, “Don” Chafin, has said fhat it must do so. Moonshiners, bootleggers and gamblers have been the objects of the sheriff's clean-up campaign, and for four mon*as he has made uneasy the lives ¢f those | engaged in these pursuits. { Announcing that he personally “had turned over a new leaf, had cut out liguor and would never again lay a wager on cards or any other gambling game.” according to the Williamson (W. Va.) Daily News, Chafin invited those inclined toward those pastimes to follow suit or Pay the penalty. Since early in Jan- uary the cleaning-up process has gone on. and_when recently he per- sonally brought in two or three stills, a lot of other illegal paraphernalia and an automobile load of evidence he declared that it had been a slow week. Puts Ban on “Mountain Dew.™ “It looks like the boys were taking us at our wopd and were really go ing back to the mines and their farms and gardens, rather tLan keep up the trouble in Logan county by supplying the citizens with ‘moun- tain_dew.” Chafin said. according to the News. “Well, they'd better keep on getting good,” he is said to have concluded, “as there are not going to be any more liquor vio- Jations in Logan when this office gets through. Chafin regarded as a sort of Robin__ Hood throughout southern “West Virginia, and there are as many tales. some of them almost legendary, attached to his name as to the doughty monarch of Sherwood For- est. The sheriff's domain. is Logan county, and among mountains instead of a forest. a typical mountaineer type, he credited with being absolutely fear- less and handy with a pistol when- ever occasion demands, although it is told throughout this section of the ! state that he wears a coat of flexible | chain mail next to his body at all; times. p Sherift Always an Idol. ‘A great deal of romance is attached to the sheriff's office by the southern mountaineers, and the incumbent is held invariably in the highest re- gard owing to the many times that he is called upon to face danger per- sonally. He is not the man to whom the mountaineers pay their taxes in this respect, but the man who buckles on his pistols and, either alone or as leader of a posse, starts for a scene of action. Two other officers, possibly not as picturesque as Chafin, but Who rival him for fame in the mountains, are Sheriff “Bill” Hatfield of McDowell, and Sheriff “Lon” Pinson of Ming whose sway is confined to the cou ties bordering Logan. —_— Miss Ila A.
