BATTLE WITH TRAMPS.
People of Marion, Ind, Have a Taste
of Genuine War.
A Pitched Battle With Tramps-Two Citizens
are Fatally Wounded.

Marion, Ind Aug 11.--There was a
desperate battle between a gang Of tramps
and posse of citizens In the suburbs Of
Marion, Friday night. in which two citi.
zens, Otto McFreely and Charles Webster,
were fatally wounded.
For 10 days or moro the people In the
vicinity of Marion have suffered from
the depredations of tramps. A number
were arrested and jailed, and the arrests
discouraged because of the expense to the
authorities. Friday, camp was formed
by the tramps, and during the day num-
erous robberics were committed and at
night the people, feeling that their prop
erty was not safe, determined to drive the
trsmps away. Twenty-Five citizens ap-
cred at the camp and ordered the tramps
to leave. The order met with "a defiant
refusal and the citizens fired in the air.
The tramps at once deserted the camp
and from placs Of concealment fired into
the crowd. The citizens returned the fire
and a running fight was kept up for an
hour None Of the tramps, so far as
known, were hurt. Several arrests were
made, but the men captured claim that
they did no shooting.

termination. Lieut.. Col Geo. A. An
thoine regimental inspector of the LIST

careful oversight over each shot.
When they closed at the goo yards

six points ahead When they got through
at the 800 yards range, they had added
seven more points to their lead. This
was a strong lead to start with at the 600

of winning, for the conditions had been
bad for high scores. and grew more trying
when the first shot was taken at this
range.
