AN EXCITING RAID
IS PULLED OFF
Officers Chase Men Over Hills Shoot
ing As They Go, But Some
Escaped.

According to the story told by
some clarksburg sports, Who arriv-
ed here on a late traction car from
Fairmont Sunday night. there was
something doing at Fairmont that
night. One of them had a most ex-
citing chase and only by his swift
ness in scaling hills did he escape
arrest. He states that he and eight
other men visited the Alex Hill
house, where they were being enter
tanned by the four female occupants.
when Chief Fleming and six other
officers surrounded the place and de-
manded unconditional surrender.
Several of the men in the house rush
ed out the rear way and took to the
hills. The police followed and were
able to overtake and arrest some OF
the fleeing men. but others got away
after a run Of fully a mile amid bull
lets that were flying thick and fast.
The girls were all taken to jail.
