North Carolina* lUIID tUIN tmiESTED Hillsville. Va„ March 28.— ctorvinia:, sleepless and fatigued, Claude Swanson Allen namesake nf a United States Senator came out of the laurel thicket in the Blue Ridge today, pointed two shooters towards the sky and gave himself to the posse which for nearly two weeks has hunted Complacent and almost Lpny he sat tonight shelteted from a driving storm by the little brick jail 3 stone's throw from Carroll county court house where on March 14, tne Allen gang kill ed the judge, the prosecutor, the sheriff’ a juror and a bystander. All day the posses, divided in to small numbers, have been fol lowing a trail thought to be that of Wesley Edwards, a nephew of the Allens. Claude Allen, a son of Floyd Alleu, who was the cause of the courthouse shooting had been given up as having es caped. Detective Lucas and four men were working toward Floyd Allen's house when suddenly twenty-fi'^e yards or so oif the Mount Airy road a figure creep ing stealthily through the under growth was dimly seen through the mist which overhung the mountain slope. Clc»e behind Lucas the other men brought their rifles to their shoulders when, to their surprise, Allen stepped out into the road with bis hands upraised a pistol in each. • rm glad to get a chance to come in,” he said. “I haven't slept in a bed since the shooting. I’m hungry,” The young mountaineer swung in between ihe men of the posse and they started back to Hills ville. His pouched eyes and roughened face confirmed his plea of exhaustion, but his broad shouldered form towered above the men who had taken him. “I could have shot you,” said Allen as he smiled and nodded to ward Detective Lucas, ‘ ‘but I was a little excited at having you come up on me so soon. Anyway I didn’t want to kill anybody. Some bread and a cask of wat er was found hidden in the thick et and Allen said it was all he had been living upon for several days Detectives declared one of the revolvers in his hands was used in the court house shooting. The boy talked freely on the long journey over soggy roads back to Hillsville and by the time the party reached the jail the drizzle had turned to a downpour. The troop of horseman picked their way into a village of dark ness where hardly a light broke the dark. Though the whole countryside had learned by the "wirtiess” of the woodland coun try, that another Allen had been taken, there was no excitement. The young fellow was put in charge of the armed deputy sheriffs. Claude’s capture gives renew ed hope of the capture of the three remaining fugitives—Sidna Allen, his nephew B^riel, and Wes ley Edwards. Although Claude stoutly denied any knowledge of the hiding place of the three, it IS believed he was attempting to carry some of his meager stock of food to his relatives when he was taken. Young Allen probab ly will be taken tomorrow to the Rpanake jail where some of his Kinsfolk already are. A movement has been started among Virginia women to present a gold medal to Jazabel Goad, the daughter of Clerk Goad who ran to his side when he was under fire Allen gang and brought a freshly loaded pistol for her fath er to continue the battle. Mrs. William Mann, wife of Governor ‘Mann, is heading the movement. 76 Hillsville, Va., Mar, 29.-Priel Allen, a blue-eyed stripling of 17 youngest of the eight of the Allen ^ng, each indicted for the five murders in the Carroll county court house a fortnight ago, was «ken late today in a cavriage shed at the home of his father, Jack Allen, 8 miles from here. «e cheerfully subn^icted to ar rest and tonight occupies a cell in the Hillsville jail with his cou sin. Claude Sv/anson Allen, who surrendered without resistance to the detectives yesterday. Only Sidna Allen, a man of {Middle age, and his young nep- new, Wesiey Edwards, both bold ^mountaineers of reckless daring, are fugitives tonight. They are tne last of tlie outlaw band whose lusillpde killed a judge, sheriff, prosecutor, juror and bystander on March 14. Friel Allen two days ago de serted the two men still at large brought back tonight their Ultimatum of defiance. Both are prepared to resist until death. A father’s anxiety to have his youngest son spared a terrible «eath in the mountains ifi assuni- ed to be the cause of Fri«l AK len s capture. Jack Allen was not involved in the court hous6 shooting, but it is known that since his son Friel joined the out laws, he has been endeavoring to advise him to submit to Uie mercy of the law. Just how the parenii communicated with the boy has not been disclosed. Hillsville had hai^ly digested A if ®^citement inciden*^ to Claud Allen’s bloodless capture yester day when Priei Allen galloped into town late today, the prison er of Detective Thomas L. Felts, leader of the mountain, campaign against the outlaws, and Detec tive E. C. Payne, who, together, made the arrest. The young mountaineer of slender build and boyish face was unhand-cuffed and cantered mto town with smiles and nods to those who recognized him. He showed, however, the ill-effects of two weeks without food or shelter. ' , The younjg prisonei talked glibly of his conversations with Sidna Allen and Wesley Edwards, The former, he said, admitted killing Judge Thornton L. Mas- sie, while tJie, latter acknowledg ed shooting Commonwealth’s At torney William M. Foster. His own part in the tragedy he dis creetly evaded discussing. He brought, however, first hand in formation of the desperate straits of Sidna A llen leader of the band and his consciousness of guilt. In the dialect of the mountains he told his stoiy, heeding inter ruptions and answering all queri- 0S* “Uncle Sidna told me,” relat ed the boy with unrestrained frankness “that he never ejjpect ed to see his farnily again. He hopes the dectives will get dis couraged so that he may get a- way, but if they keep after him I think he will be shot killing them He will never surrender. He didn’t like it when I left him. He told me I was making a misy take, but I was tired and hun^y. Sidna said he shot his pistol empty three times. He always was angry with Judge Massie. He said he shot Judge Massie and that Wesley shot Mr. Foster. Uncle Sidna said he intended to get as many of the court officers as he could. When he was shoot ing the i)eople in the street, he really didn’t know he was firing at any of the jury. He said he he saw men running and thought they needed shooting at. ‘The day after the shooting. Uncle Sidna arid Cousin Wesley and I went to the mountains. Wesley had two pistols and Uncle Sidna had a revolver and a shot gun. We all had plenty of shells. We got plenty of rations for a while. We were on the ridge and were hidden under a hedge by leaves. From there we moved to another rock and saw the officers raid my Aunt Alberta’s house. “Some of the detectives came within 15 or 20 yards of us. I wanted to leave but Uncle said if the detectives came closer he would fire. “Uncle Sidna was shot in the arm at the court house and the same bullet went into his side and back. It is still there. His hurts were fixed by one of the family. No doctor saw him so far as I know. At daylight Monday, Un- cle Sidna got some food in a sack We had plenty of ^crackers and sugar and stayed in the ivy and laurel bushes for ten days but with nothing else to eat except those crackers. ^ The day before yesterdiay I decided to leave and we separated. I was just strav- ed out. I left them on the moun tain top about three miles from Piper’s Gap rmd. Near where we were in the laurel there was a log we had nlanned to use as a breastwork in case of attack. ” FWel disclaimed knowledge of the past Claude Allen took in the shooting and denied knowledge of the activities of Sidna Edwards Victor Allen and Bud Marion now in jail at Roanoke. Both Friel and his cousin Claude probably will leave here during the night or daybreak for Galax, taking the noon train tomorrow fix>m' there to Roanoke, where the two prisoners will join their kinsfolk already in jail. The detectives sofar have won $1,600 of the $3,100 reward offer ed by Governor Mann for the cap ture of the outlaws. ACTUAL STARVATION. Faata Atwut Indigtstion and It* Ra* ti«f That Shouid I nicest You. Aithoagh Indigestion and Dyspepsia are so prevalent, most people do not tborongtily nu4eratand their ca^ and care. There Is no reason* wiiy most people should not aujthing they desire—If they will only cfiew it care fully and thoroughly. Many actually starve themselves into sickness through tear of eating every good-looking, good- sntelling, and good-tasting food, be cause it does not agree with them. The best thing to do is to flt your self to digest any good food. We believe we can relieve Dyspep sia. We are so confident of this fact that we guaitintee and promise to snp^ ply the medicine free of all cost to every one who-will use it, who is not perfectly satisfied with the results which it produces. We exact no prom ises, and put no one under any obliga tion whatever. Surely, nothing could be fairer. We are located right here and our reputation should he sufficient, assurance of genuineness of our offer. We want every one troubled with Tjxdigestlon or Dyspepsia in any form to come to ouj* store and buy a box of’ Bexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Take them home and give them a reasonable trial, according to directions. Then, If not satisSed,. coxae to us and get your mon ey back. They are verjr pleasant to take; they aid to soothe the Irritable stomach, to strengthen and invigorate the digestive organs, and tP promote a healthy and natural bowel action, thus leading to perfect and healthy diges tion and assimilation. A 25c. package of Bexall Dyspepsia Tablets furnishes 15 days' treatment In ordinary cases, this Is sufficient to produce a cure. In more chronic cases, a longer treatment, of course, is nec essary, and depends upon the severity of the trouble. For such cases, we hare two '‘'rprer whifjh f?e!I for 50c. Fortunes In Faces. There’s often much truth in the saying “her face is her for tune,” but it’s never said where pimples, skin eruptions, blotches, or other blemishes disfigure it.
