Went Toward Devils Den.

Detective Felts this morning took a
posse up the road that goes over
Barbett Knob and Elk Spur and past
Fancy Gap, near DEVILS Den, where
the outlaws were reported to be bar
ricaded in an almost impregnable
fortress of mountain rock.
The posse saw none Of the gang,
and no evidence of their presence,
but kept on to the Carolina line, and
brought up at Mount Airy. At least
a dozen houses, homes of the men,
bers of the ALLEN clan or their SYM
pathizers, were searched on the way,
but not trace of the outlaws was
found.
One great disadvantage under
which the posse worked is the lack Of
communication and commissary IA
cilities.
Hillsville is the base from which
they are operating. A few post roads
81 roads they may be called-wind
through the passes between the
knobs" and spurs" in which this
country abounds. The territory is
sparsely populated and it is next to
impossible for posses to stay out
much more thar. day. Men so
equipped are not much of a match for
such woodsmen as the Aliens and
their followers, who could live bounti-
fully while 4: posse was being starved.

An Injured Fugitive.
Sidna Edwards, withr-G price or

hiding somewhere with an injured
foot. He has had time to join the AL
lens, II he knows where they are.
Meanwhile, the indictments for the
murderers of Judge Massie, Prosecu-
tor Foster, Sheriff Webb and the two
by-standers wait to be served. Some
folks in this country declare that no
Allen was ever arrested while he
could fight and none will be.

tence by the court precipitated the
massacre, lay in the Roanoke Jail and
moaned that he wished he had fol-

Hunting Outlaws in Wild Country.


Hillsville, Va, March 1S.-Another
days chase of the court house assas-
sins brought the posses back to town
weary and empty handed, and with a
suspicion gaining ground that while
the searchers have been beating the
bush the Aliens, with good start,
are likely to have crossed the line to
North Carolina or Tennessee.
This possibility was recognized to-
DAY, but 1t may have been too late.
The word was passed over to the
sheriffs on the Tennessee line to be
on the watch and the North Carolina
sheriffs started out to work over to-
ward the Ararat river county, to head
of the outlaws.
Difficulties of the search caused a
call for the State militia to be Sc
riously considered, but that plan was
temporarily abandoned. and Governor
Mann issued proclamation increas-
ing the total rewards to $4,000 for the
outlaws, dead or alive, and sent their
full descriptions to every store, post
office and cross roads for miles
around.
