ANOTHER "BUAIy SCARE

A report was circulated about the
streets here this week that farmer
residing in the vicinity of Filler shot
and killed two l. w. w. men Monday
evening while they were setting fire
to his hay stacks. says the Buhl loiO-
neer.
The report, which this newspaper
is unable to verify with any facts, as
no one with whom the reporter talk
ed seemed to know anything definite
about the matter, is about as follows:
Monday evening while a prominent
farmer of the vicinity of Filler was
sitting on his back porch resting from
a days toll two men approached and
asked him if he would employ them
to help harvest his wheat, and the
farmers agreed to hire the men When
would pay, he named the regular wag-
es being paid, and the men then said
that they would not work for one cent
refused to pay, stating the belief that
the men were 1. w. W., and they
confessed that they were.
They left the farm yard and pro
ceeded down the road, when shortly
afterwards the farmer saw them set
ting fire to two of his hay stacks
Reaching for his rifle he fired al
them. and, according to the report
killed both instantly.
Before going to press The Pioneer
made an effort to get the sheriff's
office on the wire, but being unable tC
do so, the authority of the report is
left in doubt.

all men alike on the ground of their
common humanity, the Y. NJ c. 4. over
here has creedal test, admitting TO

be obliterated. He continued: God
