ICTlST STARVE ALLEN8 OUT. Posses Spread Out in All Directions and By This Means Hope to Cat Off Snnnllss. -. ',nais-ille: X, March 19 Messen- gers-from the posses guardihg the roads in the mountains have report ed the' court house assassins at a point about five miles . from Floyd Alien 'e home Every available man in Hillsville has hurried up into the hills in the hope of surrounding them before they get away. . Just after dusk fell, a man rid ding a gray horse covered jyith foam, rode into town and had a hurried talk , with detective Felts, head of the posse. Not even the men who had been in the-saddle alt! day were spared from the call, and the party galoped off on what will bebe an ull-nijdit ride. At best they Cannot reach the point the messen ger indicated before dawn. The chase of the Allen outlaws who shot up the Carroll county court house last" 1 hur$day and now have five death to their score for that sor tie, has settled down to a seige. AIL the 4osses know is that, the gang probably is up-in the Chestnut rid-je. Traveler's coming down from Fancy Gap said the Aliens had de serted tMr stand at Squirrel Spur anl plunged iuto the still thicker thicker country over toward the Pat rick county line. That is more of a uderness than their previous stand. At some places the boundary lines have never been located. It now looks like an attempt to starve out the assassins. The posses have -been spread over the roods, and the cross roads and by ways have been well covered... By .tlus' niethod they hope to ut off food supplies and probably medical attention. Jack Allan, one or the brothers who did not' take part in the court house assassination, came into town today to consult a lawyer about tiie cttach metits which the authorises are mak ing on Sidnn and Floyl AHen'i rno perties. Allen galloped up to the court house and created a furore. The towns foik thought hi wa heading another raid. He ventured "that his brothers prob ably had. shot in self defense and would fight to the lust ditch. Sidna's wife came to town, in a rickety 'bar ouche in pitiful contrast to her for mer visits,- She wanted the prosecu tor to exempt - her husband's" store from the attachments hut he refused. About : $25,000 of his property has been tied up by the heirs'of his vic tims.' "... ' i" Contrary to the reports that the Aliens iiad cut the telephone wires, the faet is they have not been cnt. Ella Wilcox and her sister, the opera tors, refused -to take f fight at the Aliens and have ben sticking to the switchboard' night and day. - A dav or two 'before the shooting one of the Aliens called for a number and not getting it quickly said to the operator; . ; I guess you don t know who l am, I'm one of the fighting Aliens."

Mr. Foster was said to' have been the only man in the eouufy whom the Aliens feared and they knew that he conld not be intimidated and was not afraid of tbe Allen elan. This is why he was among the first the Aliens fifed upon. Deputy Sheriff Samuels, who re signed and went to North Carolina to live for fear of the AIIcbs, yester day telephoned to Hillsville to know if the gang had been 'captured.
