While 1t is not permitted to disclose
the identity Of the units 1t may be said
that all those which sailed from the
United States have arrived safe;y and
some already are In training within
the sound of the guns on the battle
front. They are showing spirit in
keeping with the purpose on all con.
cerned to make the American Expe.
dictionary force a homogeneous Ameri-
can army in which each division wheth-
er Regular, National Guard, or. Nation.
al Army can not be distinguished In ef.

The former state troops are billeted
over wide area and are pronounced
excellent soldiers. The guardsmen
have been arriving in the American
zone for many weeks. They are scat
tered somewhat but as far as is posi-.
BILE. units from the same state have
been kept close together except In one
case.
They found the regular army had
made preparations for them, and while
many are billeted in French houses,
others have been quartered in low
wooden barracks specially erected.
The troops from various states have
been recognized by the French popula.

Many Of the units on arriving in the

the soldiers when they landed at base

SHOOT UP HOUSE
Negro Seriously Wounded
at Montana Mines
II Bullets Erred.

Lying in the Miners hospital in a
serious condition physicians today be-
lieve that Will Erwin, colored, who was
stot in poker. game at Montana
Mines, last night by another negro
named Sun" Baker, has a fighting
chance for ultimate recovery. X.ray
pictures were taken today and the
course of the bullet was followed. The
bullet entered Erwin's back and came
to the front of the, breast and re.
bounded under the left shoulder There
1t rests on rib.
Authorities at the hospital believe
the bullet is in "quiet area and the
best thing to do;is to let it remain there
for the present. X-ray pictures show
that it was soft nosed mushroom bull.
let from Savage automatic revolver.
Physicians were inclined to think that
the bullet did not strike the lung be.
cause the patient had not expectorated
any blood.
Nothing new has developed in the
matter of experimenting Baker. Last
night Deputy Sheriff Howard Adams
and Constable Michael secured the
country in the vicinity Of Morgantown
m hopes of heading off Erwin, but no
trace of him has been found. The Off.
GERS returned to Fairmont this morn.
ing from .Morgantown. Officers have
learned that each man fired six shots
apiece as full chamber was utilized
IN the scrap.
Nose Watkins was shot in the right
leg and foot which resulted in the leg
being broken. He was at the Miners
hospital today and the bullet was re.
moved. His condition is not serious
Five or more onlookers made narrow
escape from injury.
According to the story CLEANED by
the officers Will Erwin, alias "Specks"
Erwin, Nose Watkins and Sunny"
Baker were INDUCING in five handeo
poker game last evening at o'clock
at house No. IS, the home of Will Flint
ct Montana Mines, when Watkins dis.
covered that Baker had won the kitty"
on the strength of six deuces being in
the deck. When Watkins accused
Baker Of cheating Sunny" proceeded
10 draw his gun, but Watkins immedi.
ately whipped out his revolver and
fired. The ball grazed Bakers fore.
head and cut cash above his left eye.
Baker returned the fire and a general
shooting up of the place followed.
In the melee Baker grabbed Erwin
any swung him in front of his own
body Just as Watkins fired. The bullet
aimed at Baker naturally struck Err
win. When Erwin and Watkins drop
ped to the floor, Baker made his es.
cape. .-t
Sheriff A. NJ. Glover and his deputies
discovered the revolver hiding in a
box in the shanty where the shooting
accident occurred. Il was hidden there
the officers say, by Tellie Watkins. a
brother Of Nose Watkins. Tellie Wat.
kins was arrested and detained as q
witness. At the same time the county
officers served a warrant on Tellie
Watkins for board bill jumping The
warrant was issued last spring, but
Tellie could never be located.
