JUSTICE SHOT
BY FOREIGNER

Bluefeld, July 5.-H, !. Cook, jus
tice of the peace at Matoaka, was
shot and seriously wounded by Pete
Dardlbh. Russian, this morning at
Matoaka. Dardish was killed by
Luther Eastman, town policeman,
after a running battle in which a
score of shots was fired. A com
panion of Dardish was arrested and
placed in Jail but his ignorance Of
the English language has prevented
the officers from learning the name
up to a late hour tonight. Squire
COOK was shot four times through
both arms, the right leg and back.
The latter wound is the only one
considered dangerous but doctors at
the BlueGeld sanitarium where Cook
was brought for treatment, do not
consider any of the wounds ncces-
sarily fatal.

tors orders. The boxers hand,
broken In his battle with the vic.
torious Dempsey last Saturday.
probably will take about six weeks
to heal his doctor has estimated,
and it was not believed the Euro
pean champion could do any boxing
before that time.
This Descamps said precluded
the possibility OF a bout between
Carpenter and Tom Gibbons, in the
big Jersey City Arena on Labor
Day, Tex Rlckard, promoter of the
recent encounter. announced last
night that he might arrange such
bout on the day named but said
he had not conferred with any of.
fcials of the Frenchman's camp.
Descamps, however. said he was
highly in favor OF tho match as
soon as Georges hand Is healed
and he has had sufficient time to
train.
There must be six weeks Of
rest" Descamps said. according to
the DOCTORS orders and then
Georges would need about six
weeks OF training to- be in the best
possible condition for Tom Glib
bons or any other opponent. That
means that IL weeks must elapse
before Georges again appears in
the ring. This program would
keep him out of the ring until early
October. There is a possibility, OF
course, that his hand may be all
right again before the first six
weeks have elapsed. In which ev
ent, he might be able to box in
September.
Carpenters plans are somewhat
indefinite, but it was learned that
he is seriously considering taking
a trip to France before he engages
In another bout in this country.

previous sales, things which per-
haps they do not need at the time
but which are being offered at such
a reduction as to make them want
to provide against future use. The
