General,

Zion City, ILL.,, March 22.-Two cid
other Zionites slightly injured when
rioting broke out between the follow
ers of Wilbur Glenn Voliva and en-
ployes of the Cook electrical plant.
Elders w. S. Peckham and Ernest
HARDWOOD sustained cuts about their
heads and bruised bodies. G. E. Rob
bins, an alderman, was struck in the
face by a Cook employee, and John
Darling, a blind man, was knocked
down. He fought back valiantly, how
ever, welding a heavy cane with tell
ing effect. Samuel Houston, an elder,
was slightly hurt.
Trouble started when Roy Cook,
who was pushing a motorcycle,
stopped at Zionite meeting while
Elder HARDWOOD was reading a text
Words passed between the elder and
Cook, and soon 40 employees of the
electrical plant was on the scene. The
fights ensued quickly.
In the midst of the riot, Robbins
ordered the workmen away, shouting:
I'm a city official and in the name
of the law | order you to leave"
Just then some one struck him in
the nose. A stream of blood started

BED TOO BIG FOR THE DOOR
After Application Of Saw and Ratchet
1t Reached the Desired loca-
ton Through Roof.

Lansdale Pa.-The mere fact that
a big, oldfashioned bedstead that was
a priced possession would not by any
ordinary means go into the house did
not prevent Milton Gerhard from
placing the bed in the exact spot
which he desired to have it occupy.
When he found that the bedstead
could not be taken in through any OF
the doors or windows Gerhard climb
ed to the roof with saw. Ratchet and
other implements. Then he ripped off
the shingles and cut away the rafters
for a space as large as the bed Next
the bed was hoisted to the roof and
lowered into the attic. Here the floor
blocked Gerhard again, but hole was
made in that and in the ceiling Of the
room beneath, and then the bed was
placed just where Gerhard had wanted
it to be all the time.
