Brisk Exchange OF Shots Occurred at

Territory under Martial Law.
Rx Associated Press.

Charleston, w. Va, Sept. 14.-Mfh-
tary outposts were fired upon early
today at Holley, in the heart of the
territory under martial law because
of the miners strike. The pickets re-
piled and for a time the exchange OF
shots was brisk, but search of the
wooded hillside from which the shots
came showed no evidence that the bull
lets had taken effect. Two companies
of guardsmen were ordered to the
place.
This is payday in the uniontzed sec

1t was signalized at Hugheston by

that contending factions Of miners
were engaged. but the result OF the
fighting is not yet known.

ion that the territory under martial
law will be extended to include the

Des Moines. Sept. 14.-Sidna Allen,
leader of the Hillsville, Va, Allen gang
which shot UP the Carroll county court,
and Wesey Edwards, his nephew, the
last OF the clan at large. were captured
here today by detectives from Roanoke,
Va. Both prisoners announced their
willingness to return to Virginia with
out requisition.
Edwards was captured tonight on a
street car. Allen was arrested earlier
in the day.
The love of Edwards for Miss Maude
Iroler, of Mount Airy, N. c., led to the
capture. The visit of Edwards to the
girl at her home and the loss Of let
ter accidentally put the detectives on
their trail.
The fugitives have been in Des
Moines since last April. Allen worked
as a carpenter and Edwards with a
city paving gang under assumed
names. Allen was arrested at board
ing house by Roanoke detectives. The
arrest was made just after Miss Iroler
stepped in the boarding house to meet
Edwards, whom she expected to marry
tonight.
Allen was covered with q revolver

MILES AN HOUR WAS
EXTREME VELOCITY WIND HERE
OF PERSONS
VISITED WATERFRONT TO
WITNESS WORK OF STORM

Thousands Of persons visited the
waterfront during yesterday to witness
the work Of the storm Of the night
previous and morning and to see the
waves. still running high, break as they
struck shore or the wharves The
sightseers started out early, some leav-
ing their homes almost before the
storm had started to suhside and
braved the elements to get a glimpse
Of the bay. They were amply repaid
for their trip.
Throughout the day the various
wharves were crowded with people,
among whom were many ladies, and
the crowds did not diminish to any
treat extent until darkness began to
approach. Every wharf had visitors,
but probably the most popular one was
Palafox. There the crowds gathered
about the wreck of the revenue cutter
Penrose and there was hardly a mo-
ment during the day but that over
twenty five persons congregated at
that point
The cutter. probably the Oldest, in
point Of service, in the department,
was the only vessel to be totally
wrecked or for that matter badly dam

aged. She was rammed by q coal
barge and crumpled almost like a
pasteboard box. The wrechage that
was not hauled UP on the wharf fioated
about where the hull Of the cutter lay
resting on the bottom of the bay.
The Penrose was built In Tottendem,
N. Y, in 1883. She was constructed
for wealthy New Yorker and used
by him for q short time as q pleasure
yacht but was found too small and
light to make trips out Of a harbor.
She was purchased by the government
shortly afterwards and placed in the
revenue cutter service, being sent to
Galveston, but the amount of outside
work to be done made her unfit for
that service, so she was sent to Pen
sacola and has been in constant service
here for the past twenty years.
The customs inspectors viii use a
small launch to board from until the
department supplies new vessel. The
latter will not be of the Penrose type,
as she was the last of this class IN
service. 1t is expected that naphtha
launch, sufficiently large to accommo-
date the inspectors and permit them
to go out into the bay in rough wealth
er, will be sent here for use.

Amarillo, Texas, Sept. 14.--A Boyce
was shot and killed here today and
John Beal Snead, wealthy banker,
was arrested charged with the killing.
The tragedy is the sequel to the killing
of Boyce's father in Fort Worth sew
eral months ago by Snead. Young
Boyce is alleged to have eloped to Can
ada with Mrs. Snead and although they
later returned trouble soon arose be-
tween the two prominent families and
Snead shot and killed the elder Boyce
few days after the latter's son had
returned from Canada.
The banker, clad in overalls, was
hardly recognizable because Of heavy
growth of beard. He met Boyce on
the principal street of the city and
opened fire with an automatic shotgun.
Boyce fell, MORALLY wounded, in a
church door. His aged mother and
two brothers were quickly on the
scene.
Snead surrendered to the officials
and waived preliminary examination

RELIEF is FELT AT HOME
OF THE NOTORIOUS OUTLAW

Hillsville. Va, Sept. 14-News of the
arrest of Sidna Allen, the desperate
leader of the notorious gang which
killed five persons, including the Judge.
commemorative attorney and sheriff
of Carroll county on March 14th,
caused general relief here. Hs and
Edwards were considered the most
dangerous of the clan. The court room
tragedy was the climax of the trial of
Floyd Allen, Sidna's brother, convicted
of assisting a prisoner to escape from
deputy sheriff. Just as the jury rem
dered verdict of guilty, sentencing
Floyd to the penitentiary, the outlaws
practically wiped out the court.

With the exception of wreckiug tia
cutter Penrose. damaging several
wharves and washing up the tracks OF
tho payshore car line, little damage
was done by the storm of yesterday
morning, the full force Of which struck
the city after o'clock a m, attaining
an extreme velocity Of Sc miles at SO
a. m. from the southeast and maintain
ing velocity Of "A miles an hour for
period of over FIVE minutes After
$3.50 a. m. no record of the wind veloc-
ity could be obtained as the anemorne-
ter or wind register was blown from
the tower. 1t was picked up during
yesterday by a policeman on Garden
street.
After midnight the wind increased
steadily in velocity and the tides con-
tinued to get higher until the waves
were breaking over practically all of
the wharves and the wind had reached
an extreme velocity OF SO miles an
hour. Some who were awake declare
that some puffs occurred afterwards
which were stronger than when the
high velocity was reached.
The small damage done is due to the
fact that owners of vessels had taken
precautions, while the feet OF foreign
vessels at anchor was small and tho
masters Of the vessels had been given
ample time to prepare for the blow
which, however, was worse than an
ticipated earlier in the night.

During the height of the storm a largo
coal barge moored at Palafox wharf
parted its cables and after striking the
river steamer Edna G. and damaging
her to some extent, bore down on the
cutter at the latter's berth. The hull
was crushed and the cabin Smashed
into dozen pieces. The vessel sank
to the bottom. The engines are about
the only thing Of any value left OF the
old but trim little craft. The Edna c.
did no sink, but rode out the storm.
The schooner Two Boys, owned by
some navy yard parties. was reported
yesterday afternoon as having dragged
her anchors and sunk near the beach.
She can be saved.
The Leyland line steamer Meitonfan.
which arrived q few days ago, and
moored at Perdido wharf carried away
a section Of the wharf and grounded.
She was not damaged and only the
stern in aground. Tugs made efforts
yesterday to float the steamer, but
were unsuccessful as only a few small
tugs are in port She will be fioated

At Muscogee wharf the bark Nord-
stern, loaded with a part cargo of lurn-
