BIG HUNT is ON.
FOR OUTLAW JOE
State and Federal Officers Have
Been After Him for a
Year.
ALWAYS SLIPS AWAY

Time He Shot a Man, There
Wouldn't Be Any
Butt Left.

Hillsboro, N. C.,-NobOdy will sleep
n Hillsboro or thec~ country around I'M
til "Outlaw Joe" Riley is caught.
"Outlaw Joe" is a moonshiner, slack
er and assassin. If he cut a notch in
his rifle for every time Ls shot a man,
there wouldn't be any butt left to his
gun.
For a year the state and federal Of
ficers have been after him, but he al
ways slips away, says Sheriff Rose
man of Orange county.
"T1l pay a good price to anybody
who brings him in, dead or alive!"
Shoots United States Collector.
Riley is sought by Uncle Sam for
mOonshining and for shooting Deputy
Collector L. M. Arrowsmith, a revenue
officer. He Is wanted by the army for
refusing to register for the draft. And
he is wanted by the state for several
shootings and for jumping bail.
Recently he was caught making
m%Oonshine whisky. But Joe isn't n
OF the surrendering kind. He raised his

the face of Deputy Arrowsmith. By
some miracle ArrOwsmith's eyes were
missed, but the rest of his face is still
full of small shot.
Recently Joe Riley shot through the
head a companion whom he accused
Of having reported his m%oonshine
still to the revenue officers. The COM
panion recovered, and SO loyal are the
members Of Riley's gang to their lea
der that he rejoined him.
Riley was arrested for this shooting
after he had first jumped from the Sec
ond-story window of his none when
the officers came to get him, and bad
shot six times at Deputy Collector A.
p. Gates. He was placed under bond.
but he jumped it and fled to the hills.

ArroWsr.th.
He has a wife and children living ear
the village of Caldwell, NC.
He is as famous down here in Or
ange county as the notorious Allen
family is In the mountains OF Virginia.
Riley used to come boldly to Hills
boro three or four times a week and
spend his money in the general store.
Once he flashed a roll of thirty-tWO
hundred-dollar bills.
Deputy Arrowsmith, the particular
enemy of Riley, is the right-hand man
of Col. V~anderford. chief of the reyen-
ne raiders in the Carolina district.
He's Efficient Raider.
He has the reputation of being one
of the most efficient raiders in the
country. In stature and appearance he
greatly resembles the ascetlc, thin
faced movie actor, William S. Hart
and he is just as ''quick on the draw"
He has an almost uncanny nose" for
stills-they say he can smell n two
miles away.
Arrowsmith works practically alone.
except that occasionally Sheriff Rose
man of Orange county accompanies
him on his raids.
His methods differ from those Of the
Virginia mocnshine raiders in that he
does his work entirely at night. With
an electric flashlight to aid him, its
only an excellently camouflaged dis
tillery path in the woods that escapes
him.

found that owing to the peculiar for
nation Of the mass as it fell it had
bridged close above his head and left
him unhurt. Quickly they dragged him
forth.
As John stood upon his feet the
Waterman pointed to the dead body
on the ground.
81 always said that this pile would
come down. You have played in great
luck, stranger, but poor George is done
for" Casting but a glance at the UNI
| recognizable face of the dead truck
man, John, breathing his thanks over
| his own escape, went upon his way
| while the foreman, with a command
to his assistant to have the body re-
moved. followed in the others steps.
Arriving at the Seabird, the foreman
spoke.
81 understand they have knocked Off
work for the afternoon on Alamac
Island, but there's a skiff load Of stuff
1 promised to send ove to the fore
man who will be there. Do you mind
towing 1t across?"
"Glad to accommodate you," return
| ed the unsuspecting John.
The Seabird raj an open launch
| with no cabin, and Davis stepped
! aboard and went over the engine. Puff
ing at his cigar, the foreman fastened
| the painter of the skiff to the launch,
and making sure that Davis eyes were
turned In an opposite direction, touch
ed the end Of the fuse which the Spider
had laid with the glowing cigar
| Crawling like a red serpent out OF
| sight beneath the tarpaulin the spark
| disappeared up the fuse on its way to
the skiff's load of death, and at the
same time the engine started beneath
| Johns manipulations. With farewell
waves of their hands the foreman and
| the one in the launch, towing his ter
rible burden, babe each other good
day.
AS the Spider came crawling from
| the place where he had hidden him.
| self, the foreman addressed him.
eff you take my car and drive as
though the devil was after you, you
can get to the foot bridge at the other
| end Of the island and beat him to it in
case he ever gets there with that in
fernal machine behind him." With a
nod of understanding, Bellas went hur-
rying away.
Twelve-thirty having arrived, Ethel
went to her room telephone. Calling
up Caldwell. Brace & Co., she learned
that Davis had been there but had gone
to the island. Answering her inquiries
as to how she, also, might reach the
island, she was told that the most prac-
ticable way for her from the hotel was
to take the automobile road to the
foot bridge at the south end. She turn
1 ed to Rainface.
ST cannot stand this. I am fearful
whenever he is absent. I am going to
find him."
sMe too" grunted the Indian. wait
Passing to Johns room he returned
with a small automatic gun which he
gave her, saying:
aYou need sometime, mebbyso."
Securing a motor car they went driv-
ing along the road which had been
described to them. AS they reached
the edge of the bay, far out upon its
surface they saw the flash of an ex-
plosion, and q few seconds later a
dull boom burst upon their ears. The
girl grasped her companion.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1919-10-09

"Great heaven Could that have been
J0hn?" With only a grunt for a reply
the Indian sent the light a spinning
on at redoubled speed, not lessening
their pace until they had reached the
foot bridge indicated by Caldwell.
Ethel Fastening to the dock, saw the
protruding arm of a crane extending
| out over the water, the chain Of which
was disappearing into the depths.
| Sensing danger and the presence of
John but not knowing in what direc-
tion the peril lay, the pair stood star
ing ut each other. Mechanically the
girl moved toward the plunger air
pumps connecting with the submerged
| object and placed the tube to her ear.
Morgan had gone to the island. Ar
irving at the dock he began inspecting
a huge diving bell at the top of which
was I'm enormous ring for attaching
hook or chain block at the end of a
travelling crane. Within the bell were
| two chambers, upper and lower, access
to the chamber beneath being had
through a trap in the floor. From the
upper chamber, by means Of a valve,
rubber tubes ran to an air machine on
| the dock. The superintendent Of the
Island Diving companyedrew near 9s
| the Hawk finished his examination Of
the underwater machine. The super
intendent spoke.
"If he gets here I'll have him locked
up in the upper chamber Of the bell.
then I'll beat it. The men have all
left the island except the caretaker
and his family ut the other end. Take
your time about whatever you do. I'll
show you how to move the thing" To
gether they started in the direction
named. A moment later the Spider,
hurrying along the road in his auto,
stopped at the foot bridge and conceal
ing his machine crossed the footway.
John in his motorboat was proceed
Ing rapidly. Then as he made a sharp
turn around a buoy the skiff behind
him swung to windward, and a faint
smell Of smoke came to his nose. He
glanced behind, saw a wreath of vapor
arising from beneath the ~tarpauiin,
and wondering what could cause it he
hauled the lesser craft alongside. One
glance beneath the oiled cloth was
enough. The internal machine with
it's blazing fuse lay fully revealed,
and cutting the skiff loose he started
forward to seize the wheel OF the
Seabird. AS he did so there was a
flare and roar from behind, and the
next instant he was bombarded with
splinters and falling pieces Of the
launch. BY good luck he had discov-
cred his danger in the nick of time
and had escaped destruction by a mat
ter of seconds. Soon he arrived at the
island.
ct guess I am doomed to die in bed
after ALL" he unused as he thought
over his experience.
The superintendent came forward to
meet him, and to that worthy John
showed his letter Of introduction from
Mr.. Caldwell. Together they began In
specting the mining machinery upon
the list, and presently the superinten-
dent touched his visitor upon the arm.

who murdered Joe Leroy, Ocala's
popular little China launderman, was
executed in the Jail yard here yester-
day 1t is etimated that $500 per-
sons witnessed the hanging. Before
the black cap was placed on him the
condemned man made talk of
half-hour duration. Without trem-
or in his voice he confessed his guilt
and attributed his crime to booze and
crap-shooting. The drop failed to
break his neck and his writings
were pitiful. He claimed to be fully
prepared and welcomed death. A
number of Cinnamon from st. Angus
tine came over to witness the execu-
tion. 1t was the first hanging in this
county for number of years.
