Lucy Mcclure, aged twenty-four,
known as one Of the most persistent
and daring of West Virginia's moon
sinners, has at last been captured
after tiresome and dangerous chase
by United States officers, and is now
in Jail at Charleston. Lucy was cap
tured in the interior of Lincoln county
early Thursday morning at point far
remote from any railroad, and has a
long list of infractions of the law
charged up against her. She has been
of late months conducting an extern
sive illicit business along the line OF
the extension of the Norfolk&Western
Railroad, and although q number OF
attempts were made to capture her,
they failed, as in addition to being
young athletic woman Of great nerve
and presence OF mind, she was fine
rifle and revolver shot, and rode a
beautiful sorrel horse, which has
many Il time saved her. Hearing that
the marshals were after her, Monday,
she fed to the interior, but was at
last overhauled, and will now get her
deserts.
