Sid na Allen, leader of the Allen clan which shot up the Carroll county court house at Hillsville, Va., March li, killing Judge Massie and others, and his nephew, Wesley Edwards, tonight are mancled in cells at the city jail as a result of love affairs which led detectives to them. Both men are en route to Virginia in the custody of detectives, having been started on .the homeward trip as soon as possible after the arrest of Edwards. Edwards, for the love of whom Miss Maude Iroler, of Mount Airv, N. C, had innocently led detectives to Des Moines, was captured tonight as he was returning to his boarding house after having worked all day with a paving gang. Just as he boarded a street car detectives and officers surrounded it. Edwards was trying to escape by crawling through the froht end of the car when offi cers caught him. The arrest of Al ien was effected earlier in the day. A visit by Edwards to Miss Iroler in her North Carolina home about a month ago, and the accidental loss of a letter put the detectives on the trail. The fugitives had been in Des Moines since April 28. Allen, under the name of Tom Sayre, work ed as a carpenter, and Edwards, un der the name of Joe Jackson, was employed with a city paving gang. Allen was arrested at the home of John Cameron at 11th and Locust streets, where he and his nephew hud been rooming, by Detectives Baldwin, Lucas and Mundy of Roa noke, Va. The arrest occurred a few minutes after Miss Iroler stepped in to the Cameron home to meet EJ v.ard?,, whom she was to wed to night according to an arrangement made when he visited her in Virgin- i la. i.JoiCuvc l.ucas whs at ner . Alc-t wv-3 t" f!D ro,Yl When informed that visitors wanted to see him he came down stairs. As he did so Detective Lucas covered him with a revolver and n-suredhim to surrender. Allen hesitated and then threw up his hands, remarking as he did so, "1 giK?s I'm your man." Allen was handcuffed and placed under a guard of city detectives, while Col. Bald win and Chief Jenney, of the local department, went in search of Ed wards, who was said to be at work in the western part of the city. Ap parently Edwards heard that his uncle had been captured, because he was not to be found until to-night. Miss Iroler arrived in Des Moines this morning, unaware that on the same train were detectives who wanted her sweetheart. She went straight to th-2 Cameron home, hav- previously neen proviaeo wun HAZING KILLED ONE. Young Man Fell From Barrel and Was Cut Dy BrsRgn nettle. Durham, N. C. Sept. 13. William Rand, of Smithfield, N. C, a fresh man at the University of North Carolina, at Chapel Hill, was acci dentally killed by sophomore hazers early this morning. The upper classmen had the fresh man dancing on top of a barrel near the university campus. Reports vary as to just how Rand came to his death. One version is that Rand, who had been blindfolded by the hazers, was dancing a jig on the barrel top when it collapsed, hurling the youth with great force to the ground. When the other students started to pick him up and resume thoir bfivi'no- stunts, it is said they then found that Rand's neck had been broken. Another report has it that the barrel was kicked from under the freshman and that when he fell his head crashed against a broken dem ijohn the force of the fall almost severing his head from his body. This tragic ending of what the sophomores had planned to be a jub ilee night, threw some of the hazers into such a state of fright that many of them fled. A few of them, how ever, remained and carried the life less body to one of the nearest dor mitories. The accident has thrown the whole university into gloom. There is practically a suspension of all work and it has cast a blight upon the prosperous opening of the institution last Monday with the largest attend ance in its history. Four of the hazers have been plac ed under guard and the authorities are making a thorough probe of the affair. Meanwhile, they are search- HARBWARE IN STOMACH. An Old Ko!e. John Msrflost Filled fils Slemacn Full cf Knives. Chicago, Sept. 12. Having failed to make good in his attempt to emu late the ostrich and live on a diet of hardware, John Martinet, of this ci ty, is now ready to eat like a man and has taken to a diet of beefsteak and potatoes. A few days ago an operation was performed upon Martinet at the county hospital. Tlre pounds of scrap iron were removed from his stomach, This h whst the surgeon found in operation for a gastric ul cer: Nineteen jack-knives. Four rusty knife blades. A dozen springs and rivets. One silver dollar. Martinek was not a little shocked when informed that those gastrono mic delicacies were injuries to health "It was all just a joke," added Martinet. "I started about eigh teen years ago. I could win lots of bets by 'hiding' things and it was easy money. Yon just take the big end of the knife first and lean back. It slips down easy." Medical science has been enriched by this remarkable case. For in stanceit is now known postively that a bone handled knife is more digestabie than a wooden-handied knife. Celluloid handles are as in digestible as cucumbers. German silver is vastly better than brass and razor steel rust-? even in a man of cheerful disposition. If you feel that you must eat up the hardware, take bone-handled knives first. "Martinet is getting a'ong nicely and has every chance to recover," reports Dr. Daniel P.

Sidna Allen, in his cell to-night, talked freely of the events of the last few months, but declined to say much concerning his movements im mediately after the court house tragedy. He and Edwards remain ed in the mountain country of Vir ginia and North Carolina for about a month and then got over into Ken tucky, going to Louisville, where they spent several days. Their next stop was in St. Louis, where they remained a week. They had sufficient funds for their needs and traveled as first-class passengers. THe Cysler Man. Vrmr.

Curious to know thoir origin the stranger stepped over to a window. Down in the street below was a ro bust colored man in a snowy apron with a huge glistening pail in each hand. Ha was the oysterman and came in with September like the reed birds and ortolan, September the first month with an "r" in it. This was the song he sang: "Oy-e-e! Oy-e-e! Oy-e-e! Heah's de oystah man. Cum long! Run along! While he's at han!" Although the visitor did not care for any oysters at that time he smiled, which seemingly encouraged j Uncle Tom to drift into a melodious mood, and this is what he sang: "Oysh! Oysh! fine today Fresh out of de Chesapeke Bay, Rappahannock! Piyankatank! When de bullfrog jumps from bank to bank, An' de catfish licks his mudder-in-law Fry 'em!
