BANDITS FIGHT .OFF POSSE, AND
 FLEE TO TIMBER
Surrounded by Posse in the Home of Farmer, Robbers
 Use Children as Shield.

Harrah, Okla, Jan. 1.-Two Of the four robbers who held up and robbed the First National bank of Harrah Friday last fought off posse from the home of Joseph Welsher. three miles east of here, early today and escaped after wounding Joe Layton, deputy sheriff of Oklahoma county. The men fled to nearby timber and after the injury to Layton the offlcers abandoned the search.
 Frank Garter, sergeant-at-arms o1 the house of representatives Of the Oklahoma legislature, and a former sheriff. received word last night that two of the robbers were hiding Tn Welsher's home. The posse was im- mediately organized and surrounded the house. A brother-in-law of Welsh CT, Pearl Carpenter, a member Of the posse, was instructed to go into the house and demand that the robbers surrender or to send the family of Welsher out of the house before an attack was opened.
 Carpenter said the robbers agreed at first, but later came out fully armed and surrounded by Welsher's wife and children. They at once fired on the posse and moved in the direc- ton of ravine. When they reached the ravine they fled to the timber.

BASKETBALL SEASON
 OPENS HERE TODAY
JonesbOrO gh School Team Comes for Games This Afternoon and
 Evening with Bassett's Boys.

The 1917 basketball season will be
 formally opened in Pine Bluff today.
 when the Jonesboro five, two-time
 state champions, will buck up against
 the Pine Bluff quintet, in a contest this afternoon and another tonight,
 at the gymnasium of the Young Men s
 Christian association.
 The locals. it is believed, will put forward team far stronger than was the squad last year or the year be fore. Last season. most of the local basketball stars were laid up as tic result of injuries received during the football campaign. but this year the ] football bunch won the state cham pionship without the necessity of ] patronizing the hospital, and the en 1 tire squad is in fine physical condi- | ton.
 Jonesboro is believed to be fully as strong as # was last year, but stlt- , dents of the dope can not figure t
 that the visitors have added any
 strength or speed hence the opinion
 that the Pine Bluff bunch has an ex.
 cellent chance to win at least one of i today's contests. if not both.

"We can no longer have dealings with an organi- zation which is guilty of such rank injustice. as is the Fraternity in at tempting to interrupt, hurt and even ruin this business. Hereafter the clubs will have to deal with the play CTS individually. and we can no longer deal with any outside body"
 President Fultz of the Fraternity. apprized of the announcement. said:
 "They will be only too glad to rec ognize us. after this case come to q head. Perhaps organized baseball would rather deal directly with organ ized labor. which can know nothing of the fundamentals of baseball law. such as the reserve clause the release clause. and other baseball factors. I can also see how long organized base ball will attempt to fight the Amer ioan Federation Of Labor. and attempt to play semi professional players as 'strikebreakers. They had bette" give in now. as the situation is grow ing more tense all the time'

OF our most beloved and useful men,
bers, one whose life was constant

made a shining pathway to heaven.
Therefore be it,

A life-no word half so sweet
A life devoid of any vice
Speaks to us from the gates of Para
disc.
How sweet life. How sweet a death.
Leaving a memory like soft breath
Of the falling of autumn leaves
And be it further
Resolved: That our hearts 90 out
in love and sympathy with her be-
reaved companion in his sore affiie-
lion and that we would invoke heav-
IN S richest blessings to accompany
i'm the remainder of hfe's journey. |

ions to given the city press for pub
