MILITIA IN PURSUIT OF OUTLAWS
Clerk Only Member Of Court To Es
cape Deadly Fusillade Slay
ers Flee To
Hills
HILLS VI LLE, Va., March 14 A
troop of mountain outlaws rode down
out of the Blue Ridge today to the
Carrol County Courthouse here and
assassinated the judge "upon the bench
the prosecutor before the bar and the
Sheriff at the door in less time than
it takes to tell it, while sentense was
being pronounced upon Floyd Allen,
one of their number.
When the crack of the rifles died
away only one member of the court
Dexter Goad, the clerk was aive,
and he had been wounded.
Jurymen and onlookers were struck
by the fusillade, but none was wound
ed seriously.
The outlaws are up in the mountain
bush tonight, with a citizen posse,
poorly organized, making a semblence
of pursuit. Sheriffs and deputes from
the neighboring counties cannot reach
here before morning
' A special train from Roanoke to
night Drought 20 detectives to Galex,
the nearest railroad station, 9 miles
away. It will be midnight before the
men can get over the mountan roads,
hub-deep in spring mud. It probably
will be daylight before forces can be
assembled.
A reward of $1000 for the capture
of the band, offered today by Gover
nor Mann, was increased tonight to
$3000. The Governor's proclamation
says that $300 each will be paid for
individual members of the band, dead
or alive.
Captain F. W. Devant, of the Second
Virginia Regiment has been ordered
to come here with 200 men, rifles and
ammunition. The troops at Roanoke
and Lynchburg probably will not be
called for.
The shooting terrorized Hillsville
to the point of paralysis. There was
not a man to give an order or to or
ganize a pursuit.

Improved Northern Section Of - Main
Thoroughfare Certain To At
tract Business
Men
' The sugestion that Main street, be
tween Eleventh street and the Aber
nethy, be hard surfaced has been ap
proved by many of the residents of
the city, and it is believed the work
will be ordered. Under the Bancroft
act the payments will be made at the
rate of one-tenth of the cost each
year for ten years, and, consequently
the property owners will not suffer.
Petitions have been circulated among
the property owners, and it is believ
ed that' all of those on the section of
the street to be improved eventually
will sign it.
With the northern section of Main
street paved with bithulitic or asphalt
business naturally will drift in that
direction and it is estimated that the
enhanced valuation of the property
will in a few months more than pay
the cost of the improvement. Prop
erty owners interviewed by a Morn
ing Enterprise reporter were heartily
in favor of having the work done this
summer, and said they had no fear
of their property not increasing in
value. They called attention to the
big returns obtained in Salem, Albany
and Corvallis through the improve
ment of streets, and said the same re
sults were sure to be repeated here.
The Warren Construction' Company,
of Portland, through its representative
Mr. Arnold, has promised to erect a
portable plant in this city if given
contracts for improving one or more
streets. It is also proposed to lay
bithulitic pavement on Seventh street,
and it is reported that the property
ownrs are giving th proposition sr
ious consideration. Seventh street,
next to Main street is the most im
portant thoroughfare of the city, and
it is inconceivable that it should be
allowed to remain for any great length
of time in its present condition. -

HC MONIES TO DELIVER ADDRESS
Prominent Portland Men Aid Cam
paign For Patronizing Home
Industries Throughout
State
A meeting to - inculcate in the
minds of the residents of this city and
county the importance of buying
''made in Oregon Goods" will be held
in the Commercial Club rooms this
evening. All persons are invited to
attend. The meeting will be conduct
ed by Colonel E. Hofer, publisher of
the Capital Journal, and representa
tive of the Manufacturer's Associa
tion. - - -
B. T. McBain, President of the Com
mercial Club, was largely instrumental
in, having the meeting called. Like
Colonel Hofer, Mr. McBain believes
that Oregon people should patronize
Oregon industries, and the work of
thtf Manufacturer's Association is of
the greatest importance. A delega
tion of Portland manufacturers head
ed by W. M. McMonies, president of
the Manufacturers' Association, will
attend. Mr. McMonies, L. R. Merrick,
Secretary of the Merchants' Associa
tion, and J. C. Mann, President of the
Portland Grocers' Association, ' will
make addresses.
A first Consumers' League will be
organized, and it is the intention to
make a determined fight for home in
dustries. In a letter to the Morning
Enterprise Colonel Hofer says:
"These meetings have no political
annex and are purely and solely to
educate consumers and retailers to
give 'Made in Oregon Products' the
preference, price and quality being eq
ual. The campaign has nothing to do
with the" open shop question or any
side issue of any kind. It is purely
educational.
"We are going to.- tne principal
towns in the state, and I hope Oregon
City" will be well represented at the
meeting."
It is the intention of the Commer
cial Club officers not only to fight for
"Made In Oregon Products," but to see
that a sentiment Is created for "Made
in Oregon City Products." They con
tend that the patronizing of home in
dustries should begin at home.

SHAW'S FRIENDS TO CONTINUE FIGHT
Another Action To Restrain Council.
From "Dissipating City's Money"
To Be Started In A Few
- Days
As predicted by the Morning Enter
prise the - courts will be called to de
cide the differences of Mayor Dimlck
and the City Council. Charles E. Burns,
one' of Oregon City's Police Chiefs,
has filed suit for his salary from
February 9 to March 9, and a suit
will be filed in a few days asking that
the city council be 'enjoined "from
dissipating the city's money." The
papers have been drawn, and, it is
said, several taxpayers will- be the
plaintiffs. It is probable that this
case will be carried to the Supreme
Court to determine whether E. L.
Shaw or Charls E. Burns is chief of
police.
Burns ,in- his suit for salary, is rep
resented by Cross & Hammond. He
alleges that he is the regular appoint
ed chief; that he has performed his
duties and that the council has refus
ed to pay him. The council by a vote
the appointment of Burns, being in
favor of the" retention of Shaw. May
or Dimick has refused to sign Shaw's
warrants, and the council will pass
an ordinance appropriating money to
pay his salary..
Mayor Dimick, when asked what he
thought would be the result of the liti
gation, said he had nothing to say.,
A member of the council, who is
friendly to Shaw, said-that the fight
would be continued to the last and that
he was confident the council, because
it represented the will of the people
would be sustained.
