Floyd Align; Mrs. Sidney Al

IIILLSVILLK, Vn., M"nrch 16.
Sidney Allen, lender of the Allen clan
of outlaws todny escaped from tho
posse which effected his capture yes
terday in his mountain home. News
of the escape wns brought by n
mountaineer who was sent by the
posse to warn the nuthonties here to
be on the lookout for the notorious
bandit leader.
IIILLSVILLK, Vn., March 10.
Forty detectives from Richmond, aid
ed by halt.hMHiri;dcpu4JEi)ffiw
nnd a dozen feudists nt daybreak to
dny again took up the chase for tho
Allen gang of outlaws whoso raid on
the Hillsville court house and its se
quel has resulted in death to five per
sons. Juror Fowler, who was struck
by a stnvy bullet is not expected to
live through the day. His death will
bring the death list up to six.
All telegraph and telephono wires
lending to tho towns and villages in
the southern section of Virginia have
been cut by tho outlaw clan, and tho
raiders, sixteen strong, nro believed
this morning to be strongly entrench
ed in a mountain pass, awaiting tho
coming of tho posses. The outlaws
are plentifully supplied with ammu
nition, luiving dashed across the
North Carolina border to Mount Airy
Thursday night, raided a hardware
store and rubbed back to their
stronghold in tho Blue Ridgo moun
tains. Ixss of IJfo Certain.
The meeting between tho govern
ment nnd the bandits is certain to
mean great loss of life. Threo inter
nal revenue officers who are familiar
with evory trail in tho Blue Ridj,o
mountains arrived hero toduy mid
left on mountain ponies to guide tho
searchers in tho hunt.
"My wifo died liko n good wifo
should," was tho only comment Sid
noy Allen, the outlaw leader, had tu
muko today on tho death of Mrs. Al
len. She lost her lifo in a pitched
bnttlo with a posse at their mountain
homo while helping dofeud hor out
law husband. Allen luul oxpected tho
posso and was strongly barricaded in
his home. As fust us tho women of
tho family could reloud rifles he kept
hlnssiiig away at the posses of doteo
tives nnd deputy sheriffs. Following
a short lull a. posso stormed tho house
Mrs. Allen was lying doud in a corner
with a loaded riflo in her bunds. Hjr
husband lay groaning in (ho comer
bleeding profusoly from a guiibhot
wound.
Taken When Wounded.
"You got mo because I was too
badly wounded to man my gun," ho
told tho lender of the posso.
Tho outlaw leader asked if ho had
killed or wounded uny of tho posso
nnd oxpressed regret whoa told that
all had escaped.
Hillsvillo today still expects tho
outlaw clan to return and storm Uio
jail in mi effort to rosotto Sidney und
Floyd Allen. A guard of mountain
shnrpshootora surround the structure
and any attempt to effect a oaptnro
will meet with stubborn resistance.
