DIPHTHERIA SCARE PASSES.

The schools, theaters and church
es of Pikeville will not be closed
on account of an outbreak of diph-
iberia, as at first thought. The six
cases that have SO far developed
have been successfully segregated
and they are all improving, and
some are even inclined to doubt
that it was diphtheria at all, on
account Of the slow operation OF
the symptoms. Its spread has been
successfully checked, and there
have been no mortalities or further
outbreak.

DAVE HALL CAPTURED
LAST FRIDAY.

After five months in hiding, Da-
Jid Hall, the alleged principal and
's.bad man" of the party of moon
sinners who ambushed and shot to
Death revenue officers Maiorn Ra-
mey and John Slone in the Blue
head Notch off the Cumberland
mountains last May,was placed UNI
der arrest and brought to Pikeville
last Friday morning by William
BARLEY, Albert Ratliff, AndrewCook
and U. S. Deputy Bill Fields, chief
of the party.
Hall had been under surveillance
since the enactment of the bloody
tragedy, and his capture was fraught
with grim dangers and hardships.
Fields discovered his hiding place,
at his home on the Virginia side
of the Cumberlands, several weeks
ago, and that he was maintaining
Illicit relations with woman who
helped him keep lookout night and
day for the officers. Fields knew it
would be useless to attempt the ar
rest while she was present, and he
waited until she absented herself
from the house. The opportunity
came, and Fields, with his party of
men left last Thursday for the
Cumberlands determined not to re-
turn without the noted criminal.
Knowing that he was well fortified
by means of dynamite planted all
around the cabin so, that it could
be exploded from within, U. S.
Deputy J.. Mart Potter, who was
badly wounded in the ambuscade
last May, feared that Fields and
his party would never return to
Pikeville alive, and instead of sleep
ing he walked the floor Thursday
night.
Fields and his men, under cover
of night, crept down from the hills
while Hall was quietly sleeping un-
mindful of the danger that hung
over his head, and one of the men
successfully crossed the dynamite
pits and cut most of the wires that
connected them to a button within
the cabin. Fields stationed himself
behind a stone chimney and kicked
a barrel over to disturb the Sleep
ar within In a moment bo MO. IN
his feet, and when commanded to
come forth and surrender himself he
replied by pressing the button that
was TO have exploded the dynamite.
Fields then set the house on fire,
and Hall, seeing no chance re-
NAMED for him to escape, came out
and surrendered himself
He was brought here and lodged
in jail Friday, and was taken to
Catlettsburg Saturday by Potter
and Fields. The final trial Of Hall,
his brother Riley, and negro Tom
Riddle, the trio accused of the
crime of ambushing the three Off
GERS, VIII be held before the fed
eral court there in December. X
Hall, ever since he went into hid
ing, has displayed wonderful abili-
ties that place him above the av-
erage official intelligence. After the
capture, he told Mr.. Fields that he I
had shadowed the latter many
times. and on one occasion followed
him along lonely stretch of road
for several miles with a gun cock
ed ready to fire In the event the
officer discovered his presence. On
another occasion he told the Off
Ger what he had done all day,he re-
