LINCOLN. Neb., .March 18. Con victs Cray, Morely and Dowd, who escaped iroin the state penitentiary last week, alter uiurderiug Warden James Delahuuty and two deputies, are dead as the result of a battle this morning between the fugitives and two pih.ses between (ireetna and Springiield. Cornered in a barn, the trio gave h.iitle wlili rifles and Gray and Morely were slain. Seeing that escape was impossible, Dowd shot and killed hiniselt. It Is reported that Sherifi Mc Shnne ol Omaha was killed in the battle and other members of the posse wounded, but this lacks veri fication tit this hoar. Anybody could get along with an Allen all right by "treating him on the square." This meant non-interference with tho personal prerogative- of an Allen of "doing as he pleased." .

Helen of Terror Cited. All the Aliens wanted was to be allowed to mind their own business. If anybody gave testimony against them In a court of Justice he was a meddler and It was up to him to get the drop on an Allen tho next time he met one. The result was that It has been next to impossible to get convicting evidence against any of them: the majority of the law-abiding citizens have been so terrorized that they most frequently pave character evi dence In favor of t'-c Aliens when the latter were arraigned for some al leged crime. Commonwealth Attorney William Foster was the first man who ever stood up In court and told the truth about Floyd Allen. That was last Thursday morning, and two days lat er they burled the body of the attor ney, drilled In a half dozen places by the steel-jacketed bullets from the weapon of Floyd Allen.

Myrtle Creek, while It is one of the beauty .spots of the picturesque Cmpqiia Valley, enjoys another dis tinction: It Is the only school dis trict in Oregon with as many as six teachers, all of whom are wome:i. .Mrs. Inez Miller, principal. Is work ing hard to see that this corps of reminiue instructors makes good. There are enrolled this year l."i7 in the grades and 27 In the high school.

Mrs. Miller teaches nine periods a day and her assistant ALLEN hand or . ri.AWS sirhoixded r.Y officers. illl.l.SVll.I.E, Va March 1 S. Over 10 detectives, deputies and moil nt aineers surrounded the Allen gang in Devils Den. twelve miles from here. A cordon of officers are gradually closing in. The city detec tives favored storming the gang, but the mountaineers, knowing the stronghold, stood out for the starva tion plan. This will be a new region when the Aliens and their gang are ex terminated. The Aliens are not ordinary des peradoes. They have not murdered for loot. Farmers, most of them, they are among the wealthiest men or the region. They own hundreds i f acres of land. They have sent 'ihilr children to college. One Raider Is Prendier. One of them Is a "Primitive Raii tist" preacher. All. In fact, are , "primitive." or as olliers call them, "hard shell" Baptists. When the meetings known us "Baptist Associa tions" have leen held in their neigh borhood, bringing together ull per sons for scores of miles around. "Mr." Floyd Allen and "Mr." Sldna Allen, ns the "best livers" of the section, have taken them into their homes and entertained them. No stranger overtaken at night at the home of an Allen could pay for his supper, lodging nnd breakfast, and corn for his beast was as free as the monntain air. Sidna Allen, who shot down .Judge Thornton L. Massle. in the court room here last Thursday, has the finest home ill Carroll County.

It Is argued that if the crime complained of was committed at all It occurred after the couple left tho city, thereby removing jurisdiction to another place. Campbell, wi.o Is a Civil War vet eran, and Mrs. Foster left Roseburg on March 2, going to Portland, where they were registered at a hotel as "W. E. Cnmpbell and lady." Then fliey doubled back as far as Eugene. All trace of them was lost until they sent for some household goods which they had stored In Roseburg previous to their elopement.
