only one sporting page, and which the woman tells
her neighbors when she takes it back is not worth

to fashion and the making OF currant jam.
1T Is what YOU the editor for to
keep your name out soon YOU have settled
with the police the morning after and to get youi

three inches of snow, which promised

embargo on shipping along the coast,
many vessels remaining in Boston

Moving Picture Concern Reproduces
Tragedy at HillsvilIe Courthouse.

of the Allen band of outlaws, for all
that most folk here know has not
progressed, but Gov. Mann and the
authorities are planning a coup. y
plan is afoot which is expected to ma

first of next. The governor admitted
this, today and declined to discuss
his plans,

The posse which left her so hurried
", Tuesday night. has not been seen
or heard from since. 1t is now known
that the hunters will not quarter in
Hillsville, but will stay out in the
mountains and camp on the trail of
the outlaws. This latest action sup
ports the theory that the two small
posses which have been operating in
and out of town We're merely blinds
te conceal the movements of a larger
possa which has been secretly brought
over into the mountains from the
coal fields, and that the detectives
have been feinting with the smaller
losses for the benefit of those friends
of the Aliens who are supposed to
have been keeping them posted.
Andrew p. Hewlett, who was shot
IN the back during the ARRAY at the
court house, is still very low and no
hope of his recovery is entertained.
Another tragedy was enacted in the
court house. today. Another troop OF
mountain outlaws rode in, shot the judge
down and duplicated the gruesome as
sassination of a week ago-but this time
ii was only for moving pictures. Tho
actors did more firing and made more
racket than the real outlaws did, and
Hillsville almost had as much excite
