Ilefore 1 got it out, pap Ml and I started shaoting at Coad." Claude said lie saw Sidnt Allen, his uncle, who Is still at large in the mountains, firinx just about the time he saw Goad fire. Wesley Kd wards, who Is with Sldr.a Allen, waB firing from a bench through a win dow of the court room Just after the shoooting began, according to Victor Allen's testimony. Victor was anxious to prove that he had no revolver when he was In tho court room and he asserted that the shooting done with his gun had been done by Claude AUen.who had taken the weapon as the two were leaving their hotel In Hillgvllie the morning of the tragedy. Claude verified his story. Wytheville. Va., May9. "J'm dy ing. "I'm dying. Sid Allen did It." Judge Massie's words as he fell tniir tally wounded during the pistol bat tle tbac killed four others- In the Hillsvllle courthouse on March 14 were repeated today at the trial of Floyd Allen, one of the gang charg ed with tho five murders. Daniel Thomas, a sturdy country' man, who was the first to reach the dying judge detailed tho scene and the fight. When he repented Judge Massie's words his eyes If lied with tears nnd he gave way to his emo tions. "Sid" Allen has never been captured. Olio other Incident though It oc cured outside the courtroom, touch ed the day's proceedings with the dramatic. Cain bell Crowder, friend cf the Aliens, was talking with somo of the witnesses on the courthouse green when he exclaim ed: "I hope the Aliens will shoot up this court worse than t he one at Hillsvllle." Crowder was Immediately taken before Judge Staples who told Mm that nny more such talk would mean a term In Jail. Tho man had been drinking, but tho incident served to show that the Allen gang Is not with out friends. Tho defense continued today Its plan of building up evidence to dls' prove the prosecution's charge that the Aliens hatched n consplrarcy to shoot up the Hlllsville court nnd came prepared to do the work. It has bceu alleged that they wore metal breastplates to protect them :ii.n!nst the fire of the defenders Jack Allen, kinsmen of nil the gang, denied on the stand today that ho had taken a steel breastplate from his brother Floyd before the detectives had arrested him. Jack Allen resented the sharp cross-ex- ainlnntloii to which tho prosecution forced him to submit. Other testimony Intended to favor Allen seemed to be shaken on cross- examination. Witnesses were sw-orn to testify that the first shooting came from the court house officers. One of these, however, admitted that the first shooting came from where he had seen Sldna nnd Claude Allen standing. Five men of Carroll coun ty swore that prior to the shooting they had heard no 111 of any of the Aliens. Floyd Allen was on trial for a felony when the shooting took place. Employees of a resturant testified that when the court house bell rung on the day of the shooting, Wesley Fdwnrds and Frtel Allen left their breakfasts and hurried Into the court where Allen's Jury was ready to return a verdict against their kinsman. Some discrepancies were developed as to that. Congressman Jas. W. Collier of Mississippi will speak In the court House Thursday night. May 16th, at 8 o'clock. Mr. Collier Is one of tho strongest democratic members of Congress and his speech will be a great one. , ne rroaigai juage, one oi mo iiioBi iiiieresniiK biiu inniruutivo mer ries ever published, begins In this Issue of The Journal.

The assistant superintendent, Kev O. L. Strtngfleld, will begin work May 15. The headquarters of the league will move from Wilson to Raleigh September 1. Mr. Davis reports that "blind ti gers are on the run nil over the state. I'Itt county had more than bo cases for court last week, most of whom were convicted. Wilson court has over 30 on the docket for next week. News from Washington about tho prospects for the pnssage of the Webb bill Is good. Inside In formation makes me believe that the talk about a local option plank In the Keptib'.icun state platform has little or no foundation. I have no Idea such plank will be placed In it. Tho party knows too well that it would be bad politics. The leg! 1 at u re will be asked for legislation to make easier tho enforcement of the prohibition law." To He F.lHtnKUtl Friday.

The wind raged from 27 tulles an hour at Xew Orleins to 40 miles at Baton Roue, nnd at many points along tho river It swept the waves of the swollen stream over tho le vees. At New Orleans five nnd a half inches of rain fell from noon until 10 p. m. tonight, and about four inches fell between 7 and 9 o'clock. The Mlsslslppi river here was bank up by tho high winds and rose eight Inches In two hours between 8 and 10 o'clock tonight, forcing tho wa ters over tho levees at sever- ill points. At 10 the river gauge nt the head of Cnnnl utreet regis tered 21.9 feet, or one-tenth of n foot higher than the maximum stage predicted by the weather bureau. At 11 o'clock the gauge showed a drop of one-tenth of a foot for the hour. but the rain continued to pour down In torrents at intervals.

The streets of Xew Orleans were flooded as never before In the city's history. In tho Carrollton section In the upper part of the city, the water was six to seven Inches deep on the sidewalks. In tho dowiilown business section, Canal r.trect and all in'. rsecting streets were flooded over the sidewalks and the water entered stores on a number of the streets. There were such strong currents In some of the clty'B streets, due to the excessive rainfall, that many people feare'd there had been nn overflow from the river.

So, yes t inlay, when business In Mr. Hunt ley's siore was slack, like it Is ev erywhere else, we gi.t the st'iry. Mr. Huntley Is a pb'n North Carolinian who will stop right in the midst of a story of the long days !nd n'it. of the arctic circle to sell a paper oi pins to a customer, and then take up the story where b" left off. F.ver since be Mas a boy and read about the col. I nun try in Ins school geocraphy, Mr. Huntley lr,d a de sire and a dct Tiuintit Ion to to Alaska some day. That some day arrived with him twelve years r.nn, for on the 14th of O.-tober, 1 he fotir.d himself in the town of Daw um, which Is the beginning of the mining district known as tho Klon dyke. which takes its name from a small river of the country. On the day that he arrived the town, which then numbered several thousand population, was burned to the uround. It was nearly two years be fore he was back In the States again and once since he has made a trip nearly to the far nartli country. He sailed from Seattle, Wasiiliig'on.and landed at Skagway, which is about 1000 miles from Seattle. Thence he went 650 miles by puck and boat to D-iwson. The Klondyke district is about 30 by 50 miles. At that time all the mining was done by hand on the surface. Since then machinery has been carried in and the mining is done on a larger scale, Mr. Huntley never mined any, but confined his efforts to trading and dealing in wood. At one time he worked as a day hand nt $10 per day, but when wages went to $8 per day he struck, bought a team, and went Into the wood business. He figures that he averaged $50 per day with his tern. Hii If wapes were high, so was everything else, Beef steak sold at $1.60 per pound, condensed milk that sells hero for 20 cents a can cost $1.50 there, but ter was $1.."0 per pound, nnd baron was CO cents. On the way over be fell In with a man who was shipping In a herd of hogs, which were sold at 90 cents per pound dressed. The drover had started with ninety-two hogs but got there with not over half bin herd. On the steamer the animals got cold nnd plied tip on each other to keep warm Mint many of them were killed. The boat was Infested with huge wha f rats nnd these killed some of the hogs, gnawing rreat holes In them tin they lay helpless under each oth cr. Dawson Is about four hundred miles south of the iirctic circle anil at one time Mr. Huntley went as far north as six hundred miles nbov I tie circle. Here lie remained a month and til! the tltr.e the sun was shining. On the circle where tiiey have the six months day and six months nights that you read about In the school geographies About June 21st the sun shines nil the time for two weeks. Then the short nights begin to appo:ir rnd grow longer and longer till Decern l-er 21, when there Is a period of about two weeks when th" sun Is not seen tit nil. Then the days be gin to appear again nnd grow long er una inng'r uu jue.e. wnen it is all day again. Of course, between these periods there is a ling twi light, dining which time il Is linht enough to re:;d when tho sun is not actually seen. In the long periods of night and day the people divide up t'.ielr days and nluhts just the same us we do. lien it is all day they wl'l take their meals at Ihe usual time, go to bed at the Us ui:! hour, the sua still shining, and get tip nt the usual time, tho sun still shining. Tho houses are built of logs thatched with heavy moss till thoy become air tight, and these are kept so warm inside that water will not freeze Inside while the temperature outside Is 72 below zero. The aver age winter temperature is about 30 below. The summer temperature Is about 65 above and the days are pleasant. The best working weather is when the mercury is about thirty below zero, for then ev erthlng is frozen so hard that there la no thawing and hence everything Is perfectly dry and clothing does not freeze. A man puts on two heavy suits of wool underwear, ft closely woven outen garment and overalls, and Is ready for work. At night he sleeps In a sleeping bag made of blankets or furs. About the middle of October the rivers all block up and do not begin to thaw till March. The population of Daw osn has varied from seven to forty thousand, and now It Is loss than it was In the rush days. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Falrley and Rev. W. L.
