Much excitement has been occasioned in
Roane county, w. Va, by recent developments
For three years past Roane and the adjacent
county have been terrorized and almost COM
pletely subugated by mysterious band of
robbers and incendiaries, whose existence was
only known by their outrages not the slightest
clew to their identity ever having been discov-
cred until the present time. Besides numerous
acts OF arson several mysterious murders were
laid TO their door, which from present appear
apces seem more than probable. One OF the
numerous crimes of the gang was committed
on the night of August 80, 1882, when the post
office at Somesvllle and several adjacent stores
were first robbed and then fired being burned
TO the ground. The government worked up
the case, bnt with no success. ViGilant par
ties were organized, but their efforts were
truitlcss. Matters even went from bad to
worse, eliminating last April, when George
Dusken, a well-to-do young farmer, was
fired on from ambush while at work in his
field, and instantly killed. His death was at
tributed to the gang, and large reward Of
tered for the arrest othe assassins by the county
authorities. This stimulated Detectives Lee
and Cunningham Of Charlestown, who entered
the case ard stack toit, finally procuring sniff
clent evidence to wa rant the arrest of Eli
ta'nbrll and John Grea horan, two neighbors
'oi the dead Dusken. The prisoners have made
written confessions to the sheriff. on which the
startling exposure was made that the outlaws
were composed of some Of the best known men
in the country; that its object was plumber,
which was equally divided among its members,
The rules of the association made dea h the
penalty OF treachery. Dusken was q member
and had participated in the robbery and burn
ing OF the Louisville Post Office, and the socie-
ty, hearing OF his intention to confess and ex.
pose the association, decreed his death, the
prisoners being delegated to tile deed. War
rants have been issued for number of citizens
OF Roane county and a visible reign of terror j,
aroused.
