ALIENS ARE
 STILL FREE
NO DEFINITE TRACE OF OUT LAWS WHO KILLED FIVE IN
 VIRGINIA COURT ROOM.
Two Hundred Bullets We're Fired During FusiIIade, Twenty-seven of Which Reached Human Tar
 gets in Their Flight.

Hillsyille, Va, March 20.-With the search for the Allen band fruitless on the eve of the seventh day since tine court house tragedy. it seems prob able tonight that the death list soon may be increased to six before morn ing Andrew r. Hewlett, who was shot in the back, is not expected to live throughout the night. He was wounded while trying to protect his wife from the shower of lead which killed the judge, prosecutor, sheriff and two others. The ball cut through his body, coming out above the chest.
 Detectives who were hurrledly sum- moned by messengers yesterday to the supposed hiding place of the AL len gang. had not returned from their mountain quest at nightfall. With all most week elapsed since the shoot ing, not a single authentic report has reached here of the movements of any of the outlaws who have spread terror throughout the countryside for more than a generation.
 It is believed that there are a dog en of the Aliens and their hendhmen in the bands now in the mountain fastness hereabouts and many of the men in the posses, which trained de- tectives are leading are mountaineers accustomed to the country and to mountain skirmishes. The law of Carroll county has thus far been pow oress to relieve the situation but the detectives and their followers are not disheartened If busIhwhacking and guerilla warfare must be brought to play, as now seems inevitable, the Aliens will meet their matches in cunning, courage and endurance. IT l the chase becomes a siege, it wilt continue until the last of the Allen clan is killed or captured.
 Persons otherwise unemployed here have busied themselves counting bull let holes in the court room. which week ago was the scene of the mas sacre. Upwards of 208 have been found, and the wonder is that more persons were not killed by the fusil- ] ,ade.
 On account of the short range, most of the bullets lodged in the walls after piercing the bodies of their vic tims. Twenty-seven of the bullets tired hit those killed and wounded  Governor Mann today sent letters to Court Clerk Dexter Goad and hia daughter, Jezebel, commenting them for their bravery in the court room last Thursday. The governor ex- pressed the opinion that justice would be done in Carroll county.
 Dr. Wilkinson, the village physi- elan, was busy today denying an as certion credited to Sheriff c. H. Haynes of Currey county, North Car olina, to the effect that the doctor was believed to have secretly visited Sidna Allen at his mountain refuge on Sunday and dressed his wounds.
 There is absolutely no truth in any such statement as that" said Dr. Wilkinson today If l had any information to help the posses locate the Aliens I would give it to them at once"

mountains. Admitting that Enid was
dead, the conclusions were sound, of
course.
The others pointed out to Armstrong
that if the woman they all loved had
by any fortunate chance escaped the
cloudburst, she must inevitably have
persisted from cold, starvation and ex-
posture in the mountain long since.
There was scarcely a possibility that
she could have escaped the food, but
il she had, it would only to be de-
voted to death a little later If she
was not in the lake, what remained Of
her would be in some lateral canon.
1t would be impossible to discover
her body in the deep SHOWS until the
spring and the warm weather came.
When the SHOWS melted what was con-
cealed would be revealed. Alone, she
could do nothing. And admitting again
that Enid was alone, this conclusion
was as sound as the other
Now no one had the faintest hope

CHAPTER XIX.
Tho Challenge of the Range.

The Challenge of the Range.
Mr.. James Armstrong sat at his
desk before the west window in his
private room in one of the tallest
buildings in Denver His suite of Of
/ fees was situated on one Of the top
| floors, and from it he had a clear and
unobstructed view of the mighty
range over the intervening house tops
and other buildings The earth was
| covered with snow. 1t had fallen stead
| lily through the night, but with the
/ dawn the air had cleared and the sun
had come out brightly, although it was
very cold
Letters, papers, documents, the de-
mands Of a business extensive and var
| led, were left unnoticed He sat with
| his elbow on the desk, his head on his
hand, looking modify at the range.
In the month that had elapsed since
he had received news Of Enid Matt
lands disappearance he had sat often
| in that way, in that place, staring at
the range, prey to most respondent
reflections, heavy hearted and discon-
solate indeed.
aIlSl ldot iACI4OA &DAC iAlCi view
with Mr. Stephen Maitland In Phila-
delphia he had deemed it proper to
await there the arrival of Mr.. Rob-
ert Maitland. A brief interview with
that distracted gentleman had put
him in possession Of all the facts in
the case. AS Robert Maitland had
said, after presentation of the tragic
story, the situation was quite hope
less. Even Armstrong reluctantly ad-
mitted that her uncle and old Kirkby
had done everything that was posi-
BILE for the rescue or discovery Of
the girl
! Therefore the two respondent gen
tlemen had shortly after returned to
their western homes, Robert Maitland
in this instance being accompanied
by his brother Stephen. The latter
never knew how much his daughter
had been to him until this evil fate
had befallen her. Robert Maitland
had promised to inaugurate a thor
ough and extensive search to solve the
mystery of her death, which he felt
was certain, in the spring, when the
weather permitted humanity to have
free course through the mountains.
| Mr.. Stephen Maitland found a GER
tain melancholy satisfaction in being
| at least near the place where neither
he nor any one had any doubt his
daughters remains lay hid beneath
| the snow or ice on the mountains in
the freezing cold. Robert Maitland
had no other idea than that Enid S
body was in the lake. He intended to
drain tan engineering task Of no
| great dlfficulty--and yet he intended,
| also, to search the hills for miles on
| either side of the main stream down
which she had gone, for she might
possibly have strayed away and died
| of starvation and exposure, rather
than drowning. At any rate, he
would leave nothing undone to discov-
er her.
He had strenuously opposed Arm
| stroHg's recklessly expressed inten-
ton Of going into the mountains i'm
mediately to search for her. Arm
strong was not easily moved from any
purpose he entertained, or lightly to
be hindered from attempting any en-
| terprise that he projected, but by the
| time the party reached Denver the
| winter had set in, and even he real
lied the futility of any immediate
search for a dead body lost in the
