more. The ambushers escaped after
a running fight.
The battle ground was in the hllly

laid a land mine and took up COM
manding position on the high boulder
strewn ground overlooking the road
way. The military party in three lor-
ries and an armored car were trapped
early in the afternoon. The road mine
exploded, ditching the leading trucks.
Simultaneously the ambushers open.

to E. S. Ucker, who is identified with
the southern settlement and develop
ment interests, who few weeks ago
called meeting for discussion of such
a plan.
The Governor explained to Mr.. Uck.
er that such plan, IL investigation
should result in favorable recommen
dation to the next Legislature, would
undoubtedly require heavy financial
aid that could only be provided
through further bond issues. "My
idea," said the Governor, "is that IL
further bond issues are to be author
lied, their proceeds should be devoted
to road building or to the improve
ment aad expansion of the State
school system.
