 Trail of Fugitivss.
RUMOR SENT THRILL
Citizens and Detective, Expected At- tack and All Were Prepared
 For Battle.

llillsville, Va. March 30-Positive information was received here thls evening that posse of picked men who started out at midnight was a" noon, close on the trail of Sida Al len and Wesley Edwards. The des- peradoes have dec'area that they will fight to delth when overtaken.
 The scouts discovered a bed ot leaves in ray nc near Sugar Loaf Mountain which is rather close 0 Sandy Gap, where the mountaineers were last known to be hiding. There is every indication that th.s bed of leaves had been used as 9 sleepi,.. place last night by Allen and Ed wards. What made this certain was the finding of slip of paper, wh ch proved 70 be a receipt for $70 paid to Allen recently by man whose name was withheld,
 A rumor spread through the town last Il ght tnat Sida and "Wesley had gathered together some henchmen and were on their way 10 Hillsyile to rescue from the jail prisoners, Claud and Fliel Allen. From a safe distance this might have seemed ab surb, but it sent thrill through the dark little village. Behind a score of curtained windows citizens and posse volunteers sat with Colts rer volvers and rifles, watching and waiting. Had the mountaineers ap- peared there would have been des- perate battle The rumor of the ln- tended delivery seemed to have pen etrated to the two prisoners. They seemed eagerly awaiting for some thing to happen
 Don't you all go to starting any thing" said one of the guards, "re- member We have you pretty well covered and anyhow I don't think you Aliens are such fighters. Big as you are Claud I would scrap with you any time with my fists.
 Throughout the ent re night the one street of Hillsville was never de serted. There was always figures prowling about in the darkness ready to repeal any disordefly il- trusion. Shortly after midnight posse consisting of Capta' Felts, Ed Payne, Alfred Baldwin and John Saddis, ihe four best shots and most daring riders of the whole detective force. started out to give battle 10 the outlaws on sight. They had ac- cepted the challenge sent by Sidna Allen and Wesley Edwards through tile Friel Allen, the latest prisoner. Just before starting they received tip from Fred Weddell, an indic'.Fl moonshiner, who lives in the mouh- tains fifteen m les south of hela. that at nightfall he had seen two men running away scom his barn. They were headed in the direction of Buzzard's Roost, a rocky cliff which oveIlooks many m les of territory. The detective scouts intent Co search tha:: territory as well as No Man s Land. where the Aliens were last seen. Today Hillsville was also well guarded by firemen.

Their Terms De Not Ex-
pIre Until Next Month

There is a diff of opinion as
to who really are the vaccine physi-
clans OF Wilmington On the first
meeting night in this month four Re
publican physicians were elected by
City Council to succeed the Democrats
who held the offices and they immed-
lately assumed their offices. Two OF
the retiring doctors. however. refuse
TO quit until the end of the month,
claiming that as their successors
were elected after the first of the
month they could not take up their
duties until the first Of the following
month. The two physicians who are
obiecting are Dr. J. f. McGrath and
DR.. Harvey B. Patton. The remain
ing Democratic physicians DR.. II. G..
Buckmaster and DR.. w. E. Postles
have withdrawn and are not with
their colleagues in the contention
they make.
AS a result Of the mix-up at least
two districts in the city have two
vaccine physicians each. and both Drs.
McGrath and Patton will advance
their claims before Council at the
proper time.
Under the ordinance governing the
election Of vaccine physicians no pro-
vision is made as TO the time when
