 CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo-, Nov. 23- Five alleged night riders and two pri- vate detectives were wounded in pis- tel battle southwest of Clarkton, Mo-, near here early today. Seven of the night riders were captured later after an all day chase by bloodhounds and a posse.
 Tonight virtually every citizen of Clarkton and every land owner in the vicinity are armed in expectation of another attack by the night riders. The latter are a secret band of ten ants and farm laborers who have been waging feud-like war for higher wages and lower food prices.

 Yesterday the hiding place of the | riders and shortly after midnight about thirty men hidden behind stumps began firing at the detectives shack. The detectives replied through improvised portholes and counted five | fallen night riders.
 At about 2 o'clock. the attacking par ty began to retreat, carrying off their wounded. The detectives then emerged and a brief pitched battle ensued in which Oscar Hull was shot in the hand and Frank Demise in the head. Both these men. detectives will recover. Two more alleged night riders were captured tonight

GEORGE SUTTON IS

CHAMPION BILLIARD PLAYERy
LEAGUE CLOSES EARLIER
THAN WAS EXPECTED.

The Champion Billiard Players
League closed the season twelve days
earlier than the schedule, owing to
a number of the players suffering from
ia grippe. and the great strain under
which they have been subject to for
tho past Ave months would not en-
able them to play the billiards OF
which they were capable.
Changing conditions and playing in
different city every night seems to
have worked great hardships on the
players and their physical condition
was such that President Mank decided
to close the playing schedule twelve
days In advance Of the proposed route.
George Sutton won the champion
ship, with Demarest and Cline u very
