FLANDERS, but there has recently been

ing things that will prove of more
than usual interest to the public
Old timers who visited the western
frontier In the late seventies and
eighties have a recollection of the
sawed-off shotgun that later came
east and was known as riot gun"
but It was not until the doughboys
from the states began turning these
agents OF death loose into a bunch of
Heinies that the American invention
got international fame. Some of the
