virrini. outlaws Gene to Grief

EvERsoS, W. Va, Jan. 14.-Tnformation
was received here this afternoon of the
apprehension of Calvert and Hennon
Fleming, two notorious outlaws. tor whom
the state Of Virginia offers reward of
$1,000 and a county $500. They are charged
with having committed five different MUIR
ders and several highway robberies. The
Fleming brothers have been fugitives from
justice q long time. They successfully
evaded the officers and made their way
overland TO Boggs, in the mountains Of
West Virginia. where they believed them
selves safe. On Saturday evening they
stopped at the store of John Boggs. The
outlaws had been traced to this neighbour
hood by four officers from Virginia, who
were seeking TO arrest them. While the
Jennings were engaged in making pur-
chases az the store the officers came in and
demanded immediate surrender, but the
desperadoes resisted arrest and opened
fire. The shots were returned by the off,
GERS and a fierce conflict ensued. Calvert
Fleming was killed outright and his
brother Hennon morsaliy wounded with
three Shots in the left breast He is still
alive, but cannot recover. Two officers,
John II. Burnham and "Doc" Swanneli.
were seriously wounded. The injuries of
the former are considered fatal, and Swan
nell's condition is doubtful.
