Gallipolis, O., Aug. 24.- Without provocation a gang of West Virginia desperadoes swooped own on a picnic party at Glenwood, eighteen miles below here and broke up the party by their orgies. Revolvers, knives, hames, singietrees and clubs were used. The women fainted and others fled to the hills. Lew Holley was killed outright andWilliam Por-, ter and Van Linkfield, two members of the picnicking party, were fatally stabbed. Alonzo Porter had his skull fractured and half his face cut off. John Wallace had a part of his hand cut off, an eye gouged out, and an ear removed. The ruffians were the members of the Holley band of outlaws and they have killed at least a dozen men.
