POSSE IS IN FIGHT WITH I. w. w. BAND

LEWISTON, Mont, Oct. 3.-About fifty shots were exchanged yesterday between citizens of Judish Gap, about 45 miles southwest of here, and about 30 members of the Industrial Workers of the World. Kenneth Hay, a brakeman, was shot but not serious ly injured; a sixteen year old boy member of the gang was shot in the leg, while another of the gang is in serious condition from bullet wound in the back.
 The trouble arose when the train crew elected members of the gang from a Great Northern freight train. The I. w. w. members started shoot ing, whereupon the citizens and police force hurriedly armed themselves and in short time had the rioters under control. Twenty were placed in jail, while the remainder escaped.
 The member of the gang who open ed fire on the train crew made his escape and it is reported, that he noti- fled members of the order in nearby towns of the incarceration of his fel- lows. It was reported last night that these members were on the way to the scene of the rioting to attempt to liberate the prisoners. Sheriff Tagus has sent a number of armed deputies to withstand any assault that may be made.
 All the men in custody have paid up cards of the I. w. w. organization.

Eager to Get Into Struggle.

London, June 3.-Fort Douaumont,
early in the struggle for Verdun the
scene of some of the firecest fighting,
is again under hail of shells, due to
the shift of the German attack from
the west to the east bank of the
Meuse.
With the shifting attack came word
from Paris today that the desperate
energy shown by the Germans and
their apparent disregard for their own
losses is engendered by the fear ,of
the British offensive.
Though Douaumont is the chief OBJ
ject of. the new German attack, the
entire line from Thiamont farm to
Vaux is under heavy artillery fire, fol
lowed here and there by infantry
rushes. All Thursday afternoon the
French and Germn infantry strug-
gled over the shell ripped Douaumont
hillsides with awful losses. Late last
night it was reported that the Ger
mans had recovered some OF the
ground taken from them in surprise
