CITIZENS POSSE TAKES SIDNA AL-

VIRGINIA MO IN T AIN E E RS.
Special to The Gerald.
Hillsville, Va., March 16.—The end
of the day's chase of the Hillsville
raiders brought the death list of the
courthouse tragedy and its sequel up
to five.
Sidua and Floyd Allen, two of the
chiefs of the band which rode down to
the Carroll county courthouse Thurs-
day an dassassinated the judge, the
prosecutor and the sheriff, are iu cap-
tivity, both wounded severely. Sidna
Allen's wife is dead, shot in a pitched
battle with a posse in the mountains
while helping defend her outlaw hus-
band.
The fifth death was that of Nancy
Ayres, a lb-year-old girl accidentally
shot during the fusillade at the court
house Thursday.
All the other members of the gang,
probably eighteen, are up in the moun-
tains toward the Sorth Carolina line,
well armed, well supplied and deter-
mined not to be taken.
The storming of Sidna Allen’s house
was like a bombardment. The posse
trailed through the bush four miles up
the ridge and surrounded the cabin in
a grove. Allen, expecting their com-
ing was barricaded, well supplied with
rifles and ammunition which he had
brought from a store in which he was
a partner. From behind stumps, rocks
and trees, and other natural fortresses
of the mountainside, the posse fired
at the house and Aleln blazed at the
posse as fast as the women of his
family could reload bis rifles. In a
lull the posse rushed the house, broke
down the door and found Allen's wide
shot dead and Allen himself groaning
in a heap, bleeding profusely.
"You got me because l could fight
no longer,” he iis reported to have
said to the men who brought him back
to Hillsville more dead than alive. At-
torner General Williams of the state,
declared Sidna Allen's bullets killed
Judge Massie on the beneh.
Floyd Allen, the cause of the trag-
edy, was taken to the lockup under a
heavy guard and Immediately whipped
out a pocketknight and slashed his
threat. His wounds, however, are not
serious, Allen's son Victor, Cabell
Strickland and Byrd Marion were also
locked up as witnesses.
Juror Fowler, who was wounded in
the firing, is not expected to live. The
wopnds of Juror Kane and Wordell
and Clerk Goad are not serious.
Last night the man hunt was in
afx-yauce waiting for daylight. No one
will trail these mountain roads at
dark with the Allen gang loose.
At daybreak one set of detectives
which had reached Hillside Joined a
party of deputy sheriffs from the
neighborhood and set off up the moun-
tainside. The traveling was sioyv and
cautious. The other party which went
up the north side of the ridge stormed
the Allen house.
With the arrival of help confidence
began to take the place of the terror
which prevailed unrestrained for Jt
hours Judge Staples, de«ignaied by
FIVE MILLION IN BILLION LOST,
BELLIVED MOST OF PASSEN.
GERS WERE SAVED.
By Associated Press.
New Haven England, March 16—The
Peninsula and Orental liners, Oceana
sunk oil Peachy Head, in the English
Channe 1 this morning in collision
with the German bark Pisagua. The
Oceana carried forty-one passengers.
The impact of the collision tore out
the side of the Oceana. The passen-
gers were asleep in their berths at
the time. The water rushed in so fast
that the pasengers waded knee deep
oil the lower decks getting out.
The Oceana carried $5.00U,oo in bul-
lion. Iris believed most of thelites
were saved.
Some of the passengers, including
a number of women, reached the shore
in life boats clad only in their night
dress amt pajamas, covered with dres-
sing gowns and overcoats. The women
were mostly in a state of collapse.
Some had no stockings or shoes. Two
or three had fallen in to the water.
The collision occurred about four
o'clock this morning, when the wea-
ther was clear, but a big swell was
running, which was already washing
over the liner's boats when the pas-
sengers were marshalled oil deck.
The crew of the Oceana consisted of
two hundred and eighty officers and
men, only thirty-two of whom were
white, the others being lasears. The
tatter were panic stricken and at-
tempted to jump into the first boats
lowered, upsetting them. It is known
hat most of the passengers were sav-
ed, but it is believed four passengers
and several of the crew were drowned.
A passing steamer rescued some of
tile passengers and crew.
The bark with which the Oceana fol-
lided, made port in a sinking condi-
tion.

Governor Mann to conn* here and hold
court, t >ok tlic bench and summoned
a special grand Jury to indict the mur-
derers. This one act had more to do
with the restoration of quiet than any
other. The reorganization of the court
which was all but wiped out bv the
work of assafisins, had a great influ-
ence.
Early in the day a report came from
Mount Airy that the Allen gang had
raided a hardware store thqre and
Sidna Allen was part owner of the
store and the gang probably found
supplies ready.
Reports have been coming do wn I he
mountain all day that the outlaws
have recruited a big band to their de-
fense. Officers think this not nnlikelv.
A lawless element lias ruled the moun-
tai fastness for years. There is a sav-
ing among revenue officers that every
pine tree shelters a whisky still. A
battle between layv and crime is sure
to draw recruits there
Last night a guard of nriun'Hin
sharp shooters surrounded the jail
ready for any attempt to take off the
two prisoners. The officers think,
however, that with both the Allens
wounded the outlaws mav be less
eager for the fight
