TIERS, ETHEL, w. Va, Aug. 2S.-
Five men fell in an encounter early
this morning between an armed band
and state troopers on Beach Creek,
Logan County, near the Boone
Logan County line, Captain J. r.
Brockus, commanding the state po-
lice and deputy sheriff, reported this
afternoon. There was much shoot
ing on each side, he said.
Whether all the men who fell were
killed Captain Brockus was unable
to state. He added that after his
men had seen those who had fallen
picked up and carried away by their
companions the state troopers and
deputies retired, because some of
their number were in civilian clothes
and it was difficult to distinguish
them IN the darkness from the men
comprising the armed band.
Fight at Ten Feet
The clash was at close range, ac-
cording to Captain Brockus's report,
the men firing at each other when
but eight to ten feet apart.
Prior to the fight, Captain Brockus
said, eleven prisoners had been taken
by the patrolling party, which set
out from Logan yesterday, ostensibly
toward Blair and Sharples. Four of
the prisoners escaped during the en-
gagement, it was said, and one of
them is believed to have been killed.
Captain Brockus was at the head of
the advance guard of troopers and
deputies. 1t was this detachment, COM
prlslng twelve men, that engaged the
armed band. The patrol, while pro-
ceeding toward Sharples, Captain
Brockus reported, ran across five men
on foot. All were armed with rifles
and one had shotgun, he said.

arm, which they did," che captain con-
tinued. owe placed them under arrest
and proceeded down the road. Further
on we met two automobiles and placed
six additional armed men under arrest.
Shots Answer Challenge
with the eleven prisoners we
marched on toward Sharples and came
upon another squad of five armed men.
Some one called to US that we would
not be allowed to pass We called upon
them to surrender their arms. but re

"Our men returned the fire, and in
the fight five men fell to the ground
We waited until we saw that they were
picked up and carried away, and then
decided to discontinue the advance tor

some of our deputies were in civilian
clothes, hampering our distinguishing

Captain Brockus could not definitely
state whether the five men were killed.
bat said that "probably four" were
killed.
He said that later reports from
Sharples indicated the state police had
played IN luck" in stopping where
they did.
1--WE learned from sharples that
there were between 1900 and 2OO0
armed miners waiting for US to walk
into a trap" Captain Brockus said.
and if we lad advanced it seems as
surcd very serious situation would
have developed"
All along the way, the state police
officer explained, pot shots were be-
ing taken at the officers from men
hidden IN houses and in ambush.

so Lang Lefty" the six-reel Rob.
ertson-Cole super-special produced by
the master comedy-drama producer,
Al Chrisie. will be shown at the Peer
less theatre on Monday night.
The story deals with two newly
married couples who present com.
binaticn of vastly different personali-
ties. One husband, gay bird, has
married a girl who doesn't care a fig
for purple and fine linen and devotes
most of her time to the preparation
of excellently cooked meals and the
care of her home. The other hubby,
an honest to goodness home loving
chap, has placed the gold band on
the hand OF sweetie who is strong
for cigarets and the gay festive life
and who can't boil water without
burning it.
The opening of the picture finds the
newlyweds as neighbors in sunny
California town. The difference in
disposition soon brings dissatisfaction
on all sides with both husbands and
wives striving to conceal their real
feelings. The gay dog wants his wife
to spruce up like the wife Of his
neighbor while the neighbor wants
his wife to don a gingham gown and

RAILROAD LABOR BOARD
HOLDS HEARING

Chicago, pril 1S.-The railroad
labor board today decided to pro-
ceed Immediately with the con-
solidatiOn hearing into requests
of 81 railroads for wage reduc-
tiOns, denying the unions plea
for a pOstpOnement until the ap-
pOintment of three new members
named by President Harding is
confirmed by the senate. The
board ruled it was within the law
in proceeding with a majority of
its members present.
The board extended the time
limit for evidence to five days of
five-hOur hearings for each hear
ings for each side. The carriers
will open and at the end of their
testimony weeks recess will be
taken to let the unions prepare
their testimony.
Charges of irregularity in doc
citing wage cases before the rail-
road labor board were coupled by
labor representatives with a siren
uOus protest against limiting the
length of presentation of evidence
in the consolidated wage reduc-
tiOn hearing which convened to-
day. Labor union heads appeared
with solid front in an endeavor
to fOrestail the action of railroads
all over the country. which flood
ed the board with disputes from
81 carriers when the case was
called this morning.

PLENTY OF MONEY
FOR SEED LOANS.
Blanks Coming; Appropriations Suffi.
cient; Loans and Better Farming
Will Make Crop.

Word to County Agent Stebbins
from the Department of Agriculture
is that up to last Monday, the proba
bility was that there would be plenty
of money for all seed loans. At that
time only $1,500,0OO of the appropria-
ton would be required. 1t was sup
posed that the amount of the loans
requested would far exceed the $4,000
900 allotment for the loans by con-
gress.
Mr.. Stebbins has more blanks COM
ing and will soon he able to take care
Of those who have not already applied.
Tutsday morning there had been paid
for loans in this county S105,151. This
is about SO per cent of the total am
ount of applications, up to that date.
With the large amount of summer
fallowing and fail plowing done last
year, it is predicted that with the aid
Of these loans, the better farming will
result in profitable crop.

TO ORDER CAR OF
PURE BRED COWS
Third Point Farmers Combine in Eff.
fort to Secure Better Sires and
Better Herds.

Farmers operating in the neighbor-
hood of the Third Point school house
a community near the Missouri river,
have decided to buy a car load of regis
tered and high grade dairy cows.
John Goodrich, Joe Bell, Fred Fer
guson, E. L. Hayes and others, all
leading farmers, have taken active
part in this project, which is the first
organized effort ever made in the
county, in the campaign for better
slres and better dairy cattle.
Plans for Financing the deal, buying
the cows, and having them shipped in,
VIII be decided at a meeting at the
Third Point school house, to be held
at an early date. County Agent Steb-
bins has been authorized to arrange
the details and will be present at the
meeting.
The plan decided upon has become
quite popular in many Montana com
munities. 1t is the purpose of those
at the head of such movements, to in
duce the community which is acting,
to concentrate on one or two strains
of cattle, and thus build up pure bred
herds. This is beneficial in more WAYS
than one, and if followed, soon makes
a wide reputation for the community
as pure stock breeders that is valuable
IN the market, besides increasing dairy
production and adding value to each
animal owned or bred. The gentlemen
AIMED will decide on either the milking
strain OF Shorthorns on the Holstein.
The development of this association of
owners will be watched with interest
by dealers and dairymen in all parts
of the state.

OBSERVATIONS
ARE BEING MADE

T. B. Van Berg the oil expert, who
has been expected by Messrs. Nelson,
Peterson, Yotter and others, arrived
Thursday and is now busy examining
the formation of prospects near Glas-
gov. The examination will take sew
eral days and the engineers report
will be made to his chief; it will be
therefore some time before any in
formation as to results and conclus-
ions will be released to the public.
There is much interest in the matter
and many are indulging in visions,
OF rosy future for this locality.
Civil Engineer Kleinsmith, an oil
expert from Helena, was also in the
city Thursday. 1t was reported that
he was making an examination and
report on portions of the Bowdoin
dome for parties interested in that
locality. This dome has the distinc-
tion of being the only structure near
here which has been examined by
government geologists. This forma-
ton was reported by them as oil bear
ing.

COMMENCEMENT
ENTERTAINMENTS
Many Ceremonies Cluster At Close of
Successful Year of City
