FARMER AUTOIST DIES
CHASING HAM ACTORS
Were Pursuing Fleeing Thes-
plans Who Had Been Rotten
Egged at LyndeviIIe, N. Y.

Lyndeville, n. Y.-While chasing an
automobile loaded with seven actors,
who had been egged out of the opera
house and village here, Stanley Irsking,
twenty-three years old, young farm
er, was killed, and two others pain
fully injured when their automobile
was crowded off the road into a ditch
by the escaping thespians. Deputy
sheriffs are searching Orleans county
for the actors.
The actors, who billed themselves
as the "Jazz Minstrels," engaged the
opera house for a show. The opera
house was well filled when the curtain
rose. and the minstrels, according to
officials, started on series of dis
cordant violin and banjo solos.
The villagers branded the show
"rotten." During an intermission
many in the audience gathered eggs,
tomatoes and other vegetables OF
questionable age. When the actors re-
sumed they let them fly. The per-
formance ended in Il bedlam, the ac-
tors beating a hasty retreat before the
barrage of eggs and vegetables
Irsking and his companions pursued
the car about two miles from the
village before they overlook it. AS
Irsking's car came alongside the hee'
ing machine, the latter turned sharply
to the right, crowding the villagers
car off the road and overturning 1t
into a ditch. Irsking's skull was frac'
tured and he died few minutes later.
Thomas and Sheppard were cut
and bruised, but they will recover.
The actors car did not stop and so
far as can be learned the village
officials do not know their names or
addresses

misunderstanding reports of new
provocative acts alleged to have been
made by Black and Tans in Cork and
elsewhere are causing apprehension
among those hopeful Of a settlement
of the Irish situation.
According to Cork dispatches civil
ian members of the Republican police
were roughly treated by British police
patrols. Developments in the intern
ment camp at Spike Island, where pris-
oners are reported to be carrying out
reprisals for alleged rough usage on
the part of the guards, and the week
end developments in Belfast, where
rioting continues unabared, add to the
disQuietude.
In the light Of these occurrences sig
nificance is attached to a statement
made in Dublin by Irish authority on
the government side that peace
wreckers" are again at work.
Several members of the British
cabinet, among whom Premier Lloyd
Georges reply to the latest communi-
cation of Eamon De Valera is said to
be going round, have not yet conveyed
their views to the premier and it is
regarded as not unlikely the premier's
note will for several days not be ready
for despatch to Dublin.
No intimation has been vOuchsafed
as to the probable terms of the note,
but opinion both in England and Ire
alnd seems to be hopeful that it will
be couched so as to accommodate the
position Of the Sim Fein leaders and
enable them to come into another con-
ference.

Several have also been killed and

The first bomb was hurled early in

tered a second bomb dropped and burst
with devastating effects. Dead, dying
and wounded lay upon the streets. Am
balances rushed fifty-two injured to the
hospital. A large number Of the vie
tins were women and children.
New crowds gathered about the
scene of the bombing. They refused to
disperse and the police and soldiers
fired upon them. A girl was seriously
wounded.
