OUTLAWS ENTRENCH
ALLEN GANG BEHIND NATURAL
FORTRESS READY TO BATTLE
SOLDIERS.
HIDDEN IN DEVILS DEN

acts Tragedy for the Spectators
Total Deaths Now
Five.

Hillsville, Va, March 1.-Two thou.
sand feet above sea level, among the
crags and caves of the Blue Ridge
mountains, the Allen gang, who dem
onstrated their contempt Of constitut-
ed law by a massacre of the judge,
the prosecutor and the sheriff of the
Carroll county court, continue to defy
capture.
The search by a posse Of rs detec-
tives and citizen volunteers demon
strated that unless the militia is sent
here to begin a systematic siege of
the hiding places of the outlaws, they
may never be brought to answer TO
the indictments for murder. For such
a plan a camping site was selected
by representatives of Governor Mann.
The formal arraignment of the pris-
oners is scheduled here for March rs,
but 1t is likely TO be postponed.
Those who know the paths and
passes Of the highlands and the
points of vantage from which outlaws
could ward off an attacking force
with least hurt to themselves say that
the Aliens unquestionably are con
cealed behind the overhanging preci-
pices Of Devils Den. half way between
here and Mount Airy, N. G. There,
with provisions and ammunition, Of
which it is said they have plenty, an
attacking force would find the aim Of
the Aliens deadly. Some think it
may be necessary to dynamite the
mountain citadels.
Quiet prevailed in Hillsville Sunday.
The village pastor preached in favor of
capital punishment at all times, and
there was no m~istaking who he meant.
Dexter Goad, clerk Of the court,
with a bullet in his left cheek and a
bandage across his face, showed the
folks just how it happened. He re-
hearsed the scene with vivid detail,
even to placing the bullet SCARED
chairs, which were occupied by Judge
Massie. Sheriff Webb and Common
wealth's Attorney Foster. A row of
bullet holes, low on the right hand
wall. were added evidence Of the
tragedy.
A shattered rail in front of the
judges bench showed the effect of the
fusillade. Clerk Goad showed how At
torney Foster. after being fatally shot,
staggered and dropped his head upon
a sheepskin volume of the law.
Andrew Howlet and Stuart Worrell,
both bystanders wounded at Thurs
days assassination, rested easily. One
has a bullet in the lung and the other
was shot in his side. Juror Columbus
Kane, who was shot in the abdomen
and is most seriously injured Of all,

list to six.

fcials at the state penitentiary at Lin
coin. were surrounded from Omaha,
Lincoln and Plattsmouth. All but
Morley were shot dead and he is back
in prison. Harry Blunt, whom they
compelled to aid them, was also killed.
The outlaws were driven towards
Springfield in a sleigh by Harry Blunt,
a farmer who resides three miles
north of town. The %convicts lay down
in the body of the vehicle forcing the
farmer to expose himself to the bull
lets of the posse as soon as they get
within fire distance.
The three convicts approached the
Blunt home and ordered the farmer
to take them in his sleigh to Spring
field. He refused at first. but they Gov
eret him with their guns and ordered
him to make haste to start. The first
of the pursuing posses was a mile be-
hind the fleeing convicts. Two other
posses were a short distance in the
rear.
There was a running battle for three
miles before the three men were killed
and Morley surrendered. Young Blunt
was the first to fall.
A special train came from Omaha
and another already had arrived from
Plattsmouth carrying large posses.
Another came from Lincoln, bearing
a ch orif fec naucn and a h0Iu IF nation
al guard.
The three murderers, Taylor, Morley
and Dowd, spent Friday night, all day
Saturday and part of Saturday night
at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer
Hall, on a farm, five miles east and a
mile north of Havelock. After tying
Mr.. and Mrs. Hall so securely that they
could not liberate themselves, they
tore the telephone instrument from it's
place, cut out the wire and left the
Hall home at 1890 p. m., Saturday.
During their stay they compelled the
people at the farmhouse to serve them
with meals and permitted no one to
leave the house.
Blunt was 20 years old and had been
married but two months. His young
widow was Frustrated when his body
was returned to the family home by
his brother.
After leaving the Hall home, the
outlaws went to Prairie Home, OBJ
tanned a handcar and went to Mordock.
where they burglarized two stores and
secured arms, ammunition and cloth
ing. Later they ditched the stolen
handcar at Meadow, threw the car into
the Missouri river and started north
toward Omaha on foot.

lecture bureau, and others are of ar
editorial and commercial nature. He
declared positively that he would not
enter business. Already he has agreed
sas and Colorado and at various points
in the east.
Asked whether he would be a candi-
date for head of the proposed federal
health department for which he an
nounced he was going to work, he de-
ciared that he would not be, that he
had held all the government positions
he cared TO fill.
President Taft sent kilograms broad
cast TO the heads of universities and
colleges throughout the country, ask
ing them to recommend a successor
to DR.. Wiley. The president said he
hoped in this way to get a consensus
of opinion as to the best and most
available chemist.
Despite the fact that rumors had
been current for several weeks that
the governments pure food expert was
about to leave the service, the actual
news of DR.. Wiley's resignation came
as a big surprise to official Washing
ton.
1t is known that Wiley for a long
time had been unhappy in his connec-
ton with the department of agricul-
ture. 1t is rumored that his action
was taken because Secretary Of Agri-

son refused to dismiss Dunlap, Dunlap
refused to resign, and therefore Wiley
made good his threat. He has been
hampered in the administration of his
office and harassed by the other Off
Gals. The recent Wiley-Wilson-Mc-
Cabe controversy was but an outcrop-
ping of the friction that long has ex-
listed. A house committee that recent
