supplied with food and ammunition.
The search has begun in earnest for
the Aliens and their adherents. The
commonwealth of Virginia is deter
mined at all costs to bring them to
justice for the murder of five citizens,
including the officers of the Carroll
county court. Picked men remained
on the mountainside all night guard
ing the approaches to DEVILS Den
and early today the detachment was
Joined by posse of seventy-five de-
tectives and citizens who had rested

from the surrounding district. Hills
vile itself is not receiving any tot
much food. Farmers fearing the towr

the above list Of men may be con-
sidered binding at this time. but no
doubt there will be ticket in the field
of good men who will agree to give
the necessary time free. The franz
ers of the charter, twenty-one men,
will meet and organize and will then
appoint subcommittee TO draft the
charter by section and this will require
considerable time and this committee
should receive some pay at least. The
big majority of those elected will only
meet three or four times a week to go
over the work Of the subcommittee,
either adopting or amending their
work, and last year big majority
wanted such meetings in the evening
SO they could spare the time without
interfering with their business.
