Through Mountains But For Condi-
ton OF Sidna Ale.

Hillsyille, Va, March 20.-A rein
forced posse today surrounded anoth-
er mountain stronghold at Chestnut
Ridge in an attempt to capture the
Allen clan.
1t is believed today that the clans
men would long since have made their
way west through the mountains but
for Sidna Allen, who is too badly
wounded to undertake such long
journey.
All of Sidna Aliens properties, val
ued at about 100000 has been seized
by the officers. The wife of Allen
came into Hillsyille yesterday. She
asked the prosecutor to exempt her
husbands store from attachment, but
he refused. The property has been
tied up for the heirs of Aliens vic

Hagerstown, Nd. Feb. II.
One Of the industries OF Hagerstown
that has Of late years brought great
credit upsn the city is the plant Of the
Crawford Automobile Company. where
the famous Crawford" automobiles are
made at the rate OF 80 cars per year
- This industry employs large number Of
men, and is one of the most important
in Western Maryland.
An inspection of the home of the
Crawford automobile shows a thorough
ly modern plant equipped with the lat
est improved machinery for the manu-
faCture Of motor cars. The plant itself
occupies an area OF several acres, and
its distinguishing characteristics are
economy of operation, thorough and

Ever since their organization. the
makers OF Crawford automobiles have
endeavOred to build a car that repre-
sents the very best in design, materials,
and workmanship, and these three fact
Crs are largely responsible for the sue
cess of the Crawford car. 1t is a ma
chine that is just a little better than a
great many other makes that sell for
the same money. Experience has shown
this to be the case, and wherever a
Crawford car is sold, the original sale
is almost invariably followed by another,
showing coacIusively that the type Of
car turned out by this plant is effective.

one end Of the country to the other, for
they are sold in nearly every State in
the Union. Just before I left their fac
tory. after a visit of inspection through
the various departments, was shown
four cars that were being finished for
shipment to San Francisco and four to
Los Angeles. in which cities the COM
pany has agencies.
Safety to the Rider.
Added to their determination to manu-
facture a car that can be depended upon,
the makers Of Crawford automobiles
have established as their guiding star
the slogan, Safety to the rider" and
as a result of this policy the Crawford
car is known to-day as one of the safest
un the market. Every part of the me-
chanical construction of this car has re-
ceived the most careful consideration,
and every improvement tending to safe
guard the driver has been adopted.
Crawford cars are strong, steady and
dependable, and all parts that enter into
the construction of these cars are made
and tested with the utmost care in the
Hagerstown factory. .f

Frank j. Carver, a Boise real
estate dealer. purchased this week
all of the Joseph Bown acreage
and lots in Meridian, comprising
all the unsold lots in Downs ad-
ditions and 81 acres of unplatted
land, the price paid being $4,000.
The deal was made by Geo. E. At
water to Mr.. Carver, who has
placed the sale of the property
back into the hands of Mr.. At
water to sell again, with the ex-
ception of the east 40 acres, which
Mr.. Carver will set this fall to
italian prunes and keep for an in
vestment. This looks we'll for
Meridian and shows that Boise
business men have faith in prop

very valuable.
This is only the beginning of
greater activity in the transfer of
real estate.
