YOUNG TOO ILL TO
COME HERE FOR TRIAL

AS was predicted Saturday, Lorenzo
Young, negro who killed Police Sergeant
John q, Brinkley and wounded four
other white men before he was cap
tured. did not appear for trial In sec
end criminal court Monday morning
when his case was called. The case
was postponed until July 7. II Is under
stood that Youngs wounds, received in
several running pistol fights with po-
lice, are too severe to permit his being
removed from Nashville.
II Is regarded as practically certain
that the negro gunman will not be
tried in Shelby county. A change Of
venue probably will be obtained for
him, and his trial held In Nashville
with the evidence police have against
him he probably will be sentenced to
death in the electric chair after a brief
trial
Judge Tom Harsh Monday ordered
an investigation made, to ascertain
whether or not Young could employ a
lawyer. In case he cannot, the public
defender will be named to represent
him Through the public defender the
motion for a change of venue will be
made to the court on July 7, II is under
stood.

So great is the demand for men TO
help harvest the wheat crop that far
mers in the Arkansas wheat belt, to
say nothing Of those further north and
west, are offering as high as IS a day
for men to work In the fields. This
includes board and room.
Many returned soldiers are anxious
to take advantage of the offers of the
wheat harvesters but many haven't the
money to pay railroad fare, according
to Mrs. ]. T. Ware. of the United States

The problem of obtaining employ
ment for soldiers is as great as ever,
according to Mrs. Ware, and there still
is a crying need for opportunities for
clerks, bookkeepers, typists and stenog-
