Lem Laughlin Shoots Starcher

A very serious shooting affair
happened on Rush Run, of the
West Fork, Monday evening
about 6 o'clock, when Lem
Laughlin, who has been wanted
by the authorities for some time
on a charge of boot-legging and
store robbing, shot and wounded
Reedy Starcher, a sixteen year
| old bow. The shooting occurred
near the home of Scott Starcher,
the boys father.
1t seemed that Laughlin was
being chased by q posse headed
by Capt, Vincent Edgell. They
caught sight of him as he climed
the hill behind the Starcher resi-
dence. The posse called to him
to halt, but instead, he started
to run, at this the members of
the posse fired at him. After
reaching the top of the hill, in
some manner Laughlin, in some
manner, produced a rifle and re-
turned the fire. During the shoot
ing young Starcher received his
wound.
a doctor soon arrived on the
scene and the young mans wound
was dressed. The last report
from him was that he was get
ting along nicely and will soon
recover.
Monday night as Captain
EdgeIl was preparing for bed,
someone fired a shot through the
window of his bedroom. 1t is
tn ought that Laughlin did the
shooting, as it is rumored that he
said he would kill Edgell if he
tried to capture him.
A posse composed of several
men left Grantsville Monday
night for Arnoldsburg, where
they were joined Tuesday by
Sheriff Knots. They immedi-
ately repaired to the scene of the
fighting and are now on the trail
of Laughlin. No news has been
received from them for some
time, telephone servic- having
been cut OFF between Arnolds-
burg and the upper West Fork
LATER: Sheriff Knots and
his posse returned here Thursday
evening, having temporarily Civ
en- up the hunt for Laughlin. 1t
is thought that he has fled the
country, and owing to the high
state of excitement in the com
munity it was impossible to get
any clue that would lead to his
capture.

Washington, D. c.. Aug. 14.-The
democratic Senate caucus last night
approved a committee amendment to
the revenue bill which would increase
the surtaX on incomes in excess of
s., GOO, coo from 10 per cent to Is per
cent. Withdrawal by the committee of
an amendment to reduce the income
exemptions to $4,000 and $4,000 respec-
lively, for married n single persons,
prevented "A threatened caucus revolt
on that issue. but there was a per-
sistent fight by several senators to in

as high as 10, 20 and ever 25 per cent
on incomes in excess of $4,000, 900 We're
advocated in place of the 13 per cent
rate proposal which finally prevailed.
Among senator's who urged the higher
taxes were Reed. of Missouri; Myers OF
Montana, and Pittman. of Nevada. The
caucus approved the provision making
the normal income tax 2 per cent in
stead of the present ! per cent, and
adopted an amendment providing that
no income assessment should apply to
dividends accruing before March 1,
1913, the date the income tax constitu-
tional amendment became effective.
Today the democratic caucus con
tinued consideration of committee
amendments and had before it the pro-
posal agreed on by the committe late in
the day. striking out the specific excise
taxes on munition manufactures and
sustaining u 10 per cent net profit tax

The committe also adopted an
amendment increasing the alaries of
members of the proposed tariff board

the com,nitte the bill would yield an
estimated revenue of $1S9. 00O, 600 as
against $40. 900, 600 as it passed the
House. The net decrease is due to the
change in the munitions tax. the House
method providing for $4,000. 600 and
the Senate plan for $4,000, 900.

dangerous in China, where it has been
known for centuries and where it is at

report after an investigation OF cases
of the disease now being treated in hos

China as "Won Sas" they assert n
is similar to the bermuda high"

do good, it might be used.

archy because OF food shortage, ac-
cording to arrivals from the capital

We're Mexicans, said that rioters had
seized the electric lighting and power
plant outside The city and that, as a
result, the town had been without
lights or street car service for more
than a week before their departure.
Poems throughout the country north of
the capital are suffering from hunger,
they added.
The situation in Zacatecas was de-
scribed as pitiable. At railway sta
tions i'm that state, according to refu-
gees, men, women and children would
beg travellers for scraps of bread or
bits of fruit peel.
Garrisons on both the American and
Mexican side of the river have been
