FIERCE COMBAT
 WITH SMUGGLERS

Brussels, July 2-(Special)-A fierce fight between customs officers and snug bIers in a morton car took place at Boes- cheppe, on the Franco-Belgian frontier. The two officers, Spellebut and Sommier, were watching the road when they saw a motor car coming full speed towards them. There were three men in the car, including the chauffeur, who refused to stop when called upon. So one of the officials promptly swung a barrier across the road
 The smugglers seeing that it would be impossible to pass the obstacle thereupon tried to turn around, but before they could do so the customs men were upon them Spellebut jumped on the step of the car, but one of the smugglers seized a heavy iron bar and aimed a terrific jumping off the car. His assailant also jumped from the car and took. to his heels, with Spellebut after him.
 At this moment Sommier reached the car, which was already in motion. He tried to stop the car by thrusting his bayonet into one of the tires, but finding this of no use, jumped up behind and chung to the hood. Spelebut, unable to catch the smuggler who had ran away, now turned to help his comrade, and fired two bullets into the tires of the car, which was already going at full speed.
 desperate struggle took place between Sommier and the smuggler in the car, who tried to force him to let go his hold. The chauffeur had evidently made up his mind to take desperate measures. for he set the car straight at the barrier, which was swept out of the way and the motor rushed onward. Sommier made a last frantic struggle to seize his antagonist, who, collecting all his strength, succeeded in throwing the officer into the road way. where he lay with broken arm. Spellebut fired two more shots at the tires, but the car was quickly out of sight.
 The chauffeur, who succeeded in saving the car, is supposed to be notorious Armenian called Miguersdisch, who was arrested at Balleul a year ago whilst trying to perform a similar feat-smug- gle Belgian tobacco into France. On that occasion he was wounded by bullet in

He is not only sure the democrats will elect their governor this year, but that representative Sulzer will be the man.
 Representative Sulzer is very popular with the rapk and file, "he sali ne Ess served the peopls long and we'll; his record is platform in itself, and if he were nominated, there would be noth- ing to explain He Is democrat through and through, and every demo- crat in the state would certainly reel 1t his duty to vote for him: besides, Mir Sulzer is splendid campaigner, has an attractive personality, has done much for the soldier, much for the farmers, much for the working men, much for the small trades people and therefore ohould poll a very large indep sndert vote.'

 There are others, however. who think they, rather than Sulzer, are the ideal men to save the state.

Curious Suicide

Iin1inAry meeting OF interested persons
called by Governor Herbert S Hadley.
Governor Hadley has long been an ardent
advocate Of a return OF city dwelers to
the farm, and for months has been working
out the details OF z plan which he believes
will solve the high cost Of living problem
and at the same time bring about more
scientific farming.
He plans 10 organize the national farm
homes association, with the phiianthroptsts
OF the country as stockholders, TO furnish
farms, equipment and instruction for
worthy applicants who are seeking TO
escape from the cities.
Prominent men are taking an active in
terest in the plan. Addresses will be made
at ths preliminary meeting by Secretary
Wilson. W. J. Bryan. Jacob Riis, 3. T.
Yoakuni. Lyman Abbott. Jane Adams.
Joseph w Folk. Governor Hadley, Iuln1i-

which will either be taken out by the
stockholders or added to the capital
It is then planned to place colonies on
model farms IN Texas. Missouri. Alabama
and other states where land is cheap and
fertile. Each farmer will receive forty
acres, a home viii be erected for him and
fences, utensils and livestock furnished.
Thirty-two OF these forty acre farms will
constitute colony.
Each colony will also include central
farm, presided oy or by an expert agricult-
urist, who will oversee the work On the
farms, the proper rotation of crops and
similar points. Tenants will have ample
time. to pay for their farms, and their
profits have been figured out by Hadley as
averaging $3.50 year.
Each colony will have u school, where
scientific farming will be taught In addt-
ton to the usual curriculum Entertain
ments will be provided for the colonists.
so that farm life will lose the monotony
that is now largely responsible for the rush
to the cities. In Hadley's estimation.
Each group Of thirty-two farms will cost,

twenty colonies, or Go farms. on the original
investment, the number OF farms TO in

men rushed to the rescue and made their
way into the wrecked building. and,
cropping their way IN the steam filled
and fume reeking structure, dragged out
dozen or more men who lay uncon-

The boiling oils from the wrecked con-
denser had been dashed over them and
burned them horribly. The left leg Of
