OTHER ALIENS AT LARGE.
Only Sidna Edwards Caught Thus Far
in VirqInia Manhunt

Hillsville, Va, March 23.-No fur
Their captures had been reported early
today by the posse endeavoring to
round up the Allen fugitiyes on the
North Carolina border. The arrest
of young Sidna Edwards yesterday
left four of the wanted men at large
-Sidna Allen, tho clan leader, who
is supposed to have fired the shot
that killed Judge Massie; and his
nephews, Wesley Edwards and Erie
land and Claude Allen. The massing
about the hills south of this place in
dicates that the officers believe that
the outlaws are still secreted in that
vicinity.
Sidna Edwards, who was found
alone, unarmed and hungry in de-
serted mountain house, insists that
he has not seen his uncle or cousins
since the day of the courthouse trag-
edy. He says he had no part in the
shooting; that he went to the court
house and later took to the mountains
only because he heard the posse in
tended to shoot on sight any members
of his family.
Worn by hunger, fatigue and the
pain of a scalded foot, Edwards slept
last night in the Jail here with two
men standing guard. He will be TAX
en- to Roanoke today.
There is much talk of the reported
offer for Sdna Allen and his nephew
TO surrender on condition that they
be allowed to plead guilty to murder
in the second degree in court out
side of Carroll county. Gov. Mann
says if such a proposition has beer
made to the detectives he knows
nothing of it.

In North Dakota.

Lincoln Journal: Senator LaFol-
lette, whose candidacy seemed yester-
day all but dismantled, is the bene-
ficiary of the first official presidential
primary to be held in any state. He
wins North Dakota's five votes by a
strong lead over Mr.. Roosevelt, with
President Taft third. Whatever hap
pens, the Wisconsin senator will have
delegation to present his name to
the convention.
1t was not expected that Mr.. Taft
had any show for the favor of this
state. North Dakota, a border wheat
growing state, was greatly disturbed
by last years reciprocity proposal.
Mr.. Taft had to suffer for that The
surprise in the result lies in the bad
showing Mr.. Roosevelt makes. North
Dakota is in rough rider territory, In
1904 it gave Mr.. Roosevelt nearly
four-fifths of its votes, $685. for him
to 1928 for Parker. NowLaFollette

welt. Gratitude for LaFollette's oppo-
