ALLENS STILL IN MOUNTAINS. They Have Many Friends Who Keep Them Posted. Hillsville, Va., 25.-While the man hunt for the fugitive mem bers of the Allen gang went on in ihe mountains today seventy ad ditional witnesses were summon ed and new indictments were re turned against members of the gang for the murder of Juror Fowler, who has died since the original indictments were return ed. Witnesses .summoned todayt include the survivors of the trage dy in the Carroll county court house. Detective Baldwin believes that S.ana Allen, the wounded leader oil the jan2, is trying to make his escape alone, thinking that this plan will helphis two nephews to make their escape. Baldwin thinks Allen hopes to escape and go to a place where he is not known and there begin life over again. Detective Baldwin, who has been in command of the scouts near Mt. Airy N. C,, has decided to change the base of his ope rations and set out for Hillsville yesterday. He says that the pick ets now form so strong a line on the North Carolina boundary that it is perfectly iafe for him to leave that section. . - It was revealed by detectives today that several times within the last ten days in searching nouses in the mountains for the outlaws they have come upon telephone instruments and on cutting the wires found that there were dummy wires attached to the instruments, and believed that by mis means news of their , opera tions was spread all over the mountains, Yesterday the detectives had undoubted information ot a ren dezvous of the outlaws and com pletely surrounded the place, but the fugitives failed to show up. It is believed that friends of the out laws are in the posse and thus the plans of the detectives are made known to the gang. It is rumored that Clsude Swan son Ailen, a son of old man Floyd, has escaped to the west. It was said that he was seen on. a train passing through Wytheyille. He was plentifully supplied with money. If this is true the band in the hills now numbers three. SAND CLAY ROADS BEST. to School Ashevillew March 20. 'The sand-clay roads leading from this place up Beaverdam road is the best road in the county today," said county engineer J. C. M. Valentine in a general conversa tion about the condition of the roads after the hard winter in which he went on to say that these roads had withstood the deep freezing much better than the macadam roads. Mr. Valen tine stated that even the roads on the feiltmore estate, which are conceded to be the best of maca dam had suffered by reason of the freezing, but so far as could be told the sand clay-roads have not been affected very much by the freezing of the substratum. The opinion advanced by Mr, Valen tine will be learned with interest by the advocates of the sand-clay system of road construction. Th Beaverdam road was partly com pleted about two years ago and has been in satisfactory condition ever since. The winter just past has been one to give it a thorough test. Work is to begin again at once on the North Buncombe road, which had to be stopped on ac count of the bad weather. - There only, remains about a quarter of a rfiile to be built when the sand clay road to Democrat will be joined with the macadam at-Stocks-ville. Mr. Valentine said that considering everything this road is in good condition and that it would not be long until it would be in fine shape. The wet wea ther and the freezing caused a thorough mixing of the sand and day, which was just what was needed, although he said some of the people became discouraged about the road and some had said that they wished it had been let alone as it was. They will pro bably sing another tune next win ter. Wiien the Democrat road is completed the attention of the authorities will be directed to ward the Cane Creek road, known as the Dr. Fletcher road," for the improvement oT which Dr. Valuable Prizes OffeMn The Courier rs Atitomobie Cont est.
