and his wounded comrade by standing
off a large body of the l. w VS. More
than fifty shots We're fired, and 1t IS
not improbable that some of the other
bullets found their billets.
The battle was. brought about py
the terrorizing methods employed ny
the Workers to force others to JON
their ranks. The Independents IS an
opposing organization that has raplui4
sprung zip for protective purposes. The
story told by wilson's companion was

men who were pressing him he got
"beat it." The instant the blow was
struck Wilson pulled a revolver and
began shooting wildly. The shots
were returned and he fell with
nasty wound in the chin. His COM

revolver. and standing over his pros
trate friend held the angry crowd of
I. w. WIS at bay until reinforcements
of independents" came to his aid.
Then the shooting became general
and was participated in by crowd OF
I. W. W. men who swarmed over
freight train that was pulling out of
the yards. The most Of the shots
came from men who were lying on the
tops Of the cars of the moving train.
Switchmen and railroad men lodged
behind anything that afforded protec-

escaped injury.
A riot call was sent to the police
department and a squad of officers,
led by Detectives Frank Lee and FL

the police car. At the North Eighth
street car line terminal they met a
crowd Of ten or fifteen badly frightened
independents" who said they had
been chased from the yards by the
armed !. W. VS. Wilson and Craw-
ford were found in the north end Of
the yards under the care Of railroad

Don't Live In the Past

When you see fifty approaching
guard yourself again;t living in the

you and force yourself to be inter
ested in their interests. Never per-
NIT yourself to think that your use
fulness is ended or your capacity for
enjoyment dulled. II you cannot play
firing games you certainly can take
brisk walks in the fresh morning air.
Do not dress in kittenish fash

dull-colored raiment. Do not brush
your hair back severely from your

Fluff your hair on either side. If you

Montezuma, July 31.-The effect Of
the heat upon the corn is becoming an
all absorbing topic. Most farmers
agree that the early corn has already
been materially hurt. There seems to
be tendency in some fields for the
tassel to dry up. So far no complaints
as to firing have been heard in this
immediate vicinity altho the blades
roll badly during the day.

ing enough presidential electors who
might prove the balance of power in
the event of close contest between
the two major parties.
Among the states in which this plan
will be carried out are: Louisiana,
Maryland. Indiana. Missouri. Wiscon-

A large and lanky recruit drifted in
TO the National Guard armory to give
his service to his country. After ha
had gone through the necessary ex-
animation as to his age, parents, con-
stitutional ability TO walk through seas
of mud, the color of his hair and eyes
and locality Of tattoo marks and other
preliminaries to a military career, the
examining surgeon took up a stetho-
scope and began listening to the re-
cruits heart, lungs, etc.
This was new experience for the
boy. He had never seen a man with q
stethoscope before, and had the impress
sion the doctor was deaf and that the
stethoscope was a pair Of ear trum--
pets.
Consequently, when the medical man
said:
Ever have any consumption in your
family?" the rookie picked up the end
of the stethoscope dangling in front of
the physician, and yelled into 1t ar
loud as he could: NO"
The doctor jumped foot. A stethol
scope is extremely delicate, and roar
like that nearly splits the ear drums.
