PEcT ANOTHER ATTACK.

Cape Girardeau, Mo.-Seven So
called nightriders and two private de-
tectives were wounded In a pitched
battle fought in the center of a marsh
a mile southwest of Clarkton, Mo-.

were captured in an all-day chase by
bloodhounds and a large posse OF
farmers.
Virtually every citizen Of Clarkton
and every land owner in the vicinity
was armed in expectation of another
attack by the nightriders. The latter
are a secret band of tenants and farm
laborers, who have been waging a
feud-like war for higher wages and
lower food prices.
The farm hands, seeking higher
wages and lower food prices, recent
ly have terrorized the countryside by
nightriders tactics.
The feud has been in progress herr
for several months and has spreat
throughout New Madrid County. Sil
detectives have been camping secret
ly for two weeks in shack on
swamp on the farm Of T. S. Heis
serger, a rich land owner and banker
against whom the nightriders hay
centered attacks.

who, with their chieftain, had evacuat

The federal grand jury for the
Western District of Louisiana IN
report of its findings to Judge Boar
man recommended that the govern
ment take action with reference 10
the overly-watered oil stock promo
ton schemes that have been operat
ing with great freedom In North
Louisiana and warns the public
against hasty investment in such en-
terprises.
The promotion, organization and
operation of the various oil concerns
was probed closely by the grand jury
which returned an indictment against
one concern for using the mails 10
defraud. The records OF the parish
show that since January l, 1913, l44
oil corporations with an authorized
capital stock exceeding $15,OOO,OO0
have been organized. There are many
others operating here that have been
organized in other parishes and other
states since that date and possibly as
many more organized prior to 1913.
The majority of these concerns are
close corporations which have not Of
fered stock on the market for sale,
but the minority which mulcted the
| public of hundreds of thousands oi
dollars.
OF all those which have sold stock
through agents and advertisements,
only one company has been named
which has paid to its stockholders
any dividends.
The grand jury report states tha'
less than ten per cent of the class Of
companies which have sold stock te
the public have paid anything to the
stockholders. The report denounces
the "get-rich-quick" schemes which
the oil industry in this section has
presented with a golden opportunit!
to fleece the investing public.
