MANNINGToN, W. Va, June "A promi-
ncnt citizen Of this place has been expect
ing for some time that his house would be
attacked by the outlaws OF WctZel county,
w. Va, who are banded together and
known as the Red Men. Late last night he
was awakened by the tramping OF horses,
and, sprin.ing from his bed, saw that there
were at least fifty Of them on horseback.
He called up his sons, and, being well pro-
vided with firearms, prepared 10 station bis
garrison where they wonid do the most
good. His sons took positions 1T the win
dows, each one provided with two muskets
loaded with an inch and half OF powder,
TO scatter Il charge OF mingled shot and
nails. He took his own position in the
hall, with six rcYolvcrs to empty Ill case the
ASSISTANTS forced the doors. His wife was
armed with sabre and his daughters with
an axe 10 defend themselves. The Red
Men. however. were informed what was
awaiting them, and concluded to abandon
the attack.
Nine men prominent i'll the organization
have been arrested on warrants sworn out
by Judge HiXeubaugb, and are now in Jail
at Littleton. Ali the justices OF the peace
say they will resign their offices before they
will have anything to do in prosecuting
the e outlaws, as their lives are at stake.
Wont the Wheeling papers give us the
name OF this prominent citizen 1t ought
to be handed down to posterity.l
