SATURDAY NIGHT

Belfast, Feb. 6.-Dublin on Satur-
day night experienced a sensation
when loud explosions and continuous
volleys, resembling the sounds of
battle on small scale, became audi
bic from the distant suburbs, ac-
cording to dispatches received here.
1t turned out that three ambushes
had occurred, one of which resulted
in the killing of four year old
child. =. I..f
The first ambush was in the neigh
borhood of Merrion square shortly
efore 8 o'clock. Explosions which
shook some of the older houses to
their foundations were followed by
fusillades of rifle and revolver fire.
The inhabitants sought refuge in
their cellars while the streets were
stampeded by the firing. What had
happened was that three bombs were
flung at a lorry filled with soldiers.
This precipitated an exchange of
shots which lasted several minutes
without effect except for the wound
ing of two civilians by bomb splin-
ters. >. +
The second ambush occurred on the
south side of the city where two
military lorries were bombed and
there was a similar brisk exchange
of firing. ! A child Of four years was
shot through the head and, a woman
was wounded and taken to a hospi-
tai. >..., .......
The third ambush occurred at 9 p.
m. when two military lorries were
attacked at Rathmines in the south
suburbs, in the vicinity of the Cath
oil cchapel. An oficef of the mill
tary was slightly wounded and some
civilians, including a boy, received
unimportant injuries. -
The Castle also reports that near
Clonmel a patrol of the Devon regi-
ment discovered a body of. civilians
preparing an ambush. A skirmish
which followed resulted in the kill
ing of civilian and the wounding
of military sergeant.

 By SEN. THOMAS E. WATSON
 The disarmament of nations. which was vaguely talked of by President Wilson and by President Harding, took form and shape when Senator Rorah introduced his resolution into the Senate.
 The Senator's resolution applied only to Great Britain. Japan and the United States but President Hard ing expanded the Borah resolution until it embraced nearly all the na- tions of earth
 This expansion defeats the very purpose of the resolution.
 Great Britain cannot, and will not limit her armament, because she feels compelled to hold together her rickcty Empire. whose component parts are scperated from the mother country by so many thousand miles Of deep water
 Japan cannot and will not limit her armaments, because she means to make her island kingdom as great in the East as the English Isles have become in the West.

M Showal- ter of the Marion County criminal court, here. Metz was sentenced to serve five years in the state peni tentiary, at MoundsvilIe, for having two bottles of whiskey on his hip That seems rather severe. but the state law provides that second conviction for violation of the prohibition law is a felony punishable with penitentiary confinement and the prosecution showed that Metz had once before served a jail term for violating the prohibition laws. In addition. the judge said, in passing sentence. Metz had been arrested numerous times for bootlegging.

The West Virginias principal scrappng weapons are eight sixteen inch turret guns of fortyfive caliber each. Sxteen-inCh guns, by the way are the largest size weapons actually carried by any ship now in commis. sion. There is q great deal of talk of seventeen-inch and even twenty-inCh guns, but so far they are only talked of and are not an accomplished reality The largest gun carried by an English ship is a fifteen-incher. although the newest ships laid down over there are said to be intended for eighteen-inch guns The secondary fourteen five inch guns, four three-inch anti-airchatt rifles and four six.pounders for salut- ing purposes.

This seeming delay, it is understood, Is due to the fact that durfng the war the navy gave priority to the completion of ships actually needed urgently and which could be finished during the war in preference to using material and labor on huge ship which could not have been com ploted within the time necessary for use. anyway.

Everybody has heard the cat came

that has again come back to its owner.
For SO long ago that most of the
people hereabopts cannot remember.
the Livesey ranch. located Q miles west

sas river, belonged to James Livesey
Several years ago Mr.. Livesey decid-
ed to return to his boyhood home in
Old England. and so sold the place
to Morris C. johnson of this city
After a time Mr. johnson sold it to
cattle company, which it seemed
had plans that did not pan out dur
ing the busines establishments follow
ing on the heels of the world war. So
the ranch reverted to Mr.. johnson.
Some weeks ago Mr.. Johnson again
sold the property to Walter Fl. E,vens
of Jefferson county, Missouri. At the
time of this sale it was stated on what
seemed to be the best authority that
the next transfer was to be to the
state of Colorado for prison farm
Day by day the deed to the state was
expected to reach Pueblo for record
ing. but it appeared not, and finally
the news came that the state officials
having the deal in hand had decided
to back out of the proposition Then
1t was rumored that the ranch was to
be leased by the penitentiary for a
year. and yesterday a decd from Mr.
Evens to Mr.. johnson was filed with
