NEGRO TERROR
FALLS in GUN
DUEL WITH HC0P
Two-Year Record of
Robert Channels
Halted.
PITCHED BATTLE
41-he Terror" has fallen.

"The Terror" has fa1lena
The negro bandit who for two years
has held sway in the woods along Big
Eagle Creek, robbing men. women and
policemen, was a prisoner in the city
hospital today, the victim OF bullet
wound inflicted by Policeman John
Davidson in pitched battle in the dark
woods at O'Clock last night.
Robert Channels GO, the police say, is
the negro terror. and they claim his iden-
tifca tion has been made positive.
This desperate negro. with a mania for
robbery Of strolling couples, has ter
rortzed the big woods along the creek
never hesitating to shoot when victim
failei to obey his oft repeated command
to Stick EN- up"
One night. about three months ago, he
fought, single handed, fierce revolver
battle with squad Of police night riders.
At the time 1t was believed he was
wounded. Today, doctors at the city
hospital found bullet scar on his
shoulder verifying the belief that one Of
the policeman's bullets had found its
mark that night
Last night Policeman Davidson was
walking along In the woods He saw the
sinking figure OF the negro two score
feet away. He was walking toward the
dark figure when he was ordered to
Stick 'em up
The negro held a revolver In his right
hand ready to shoot from the hip. David
son drew and fred, running toward the
negro who was standing his ground and
shooting at the policeman. Davidson was
within FIVE feet Of The Terror" when he
had emptied his As and one shot from
the negro,s weapon powder burned his
face
Dodging behind the concrete founda-
tion Of the dance hall Of old Labor Park
Davidson reloaded his rvolver. When
the policeman emerged, the negro had
disappeared In the dark.
Davidson reported his battle TO police
headquarters, telling OF his belief that
be had wounded 1.-THE Terror"
Early today report came that a man
was suffering from bullet wound and
needed hospital attention. Police inves-
tigating found Channels at 21@3 Howard
street. The negro carried one bullet In
hts abdomen and two shots had nicked
his right arm. This was believed by the
police TO account for the fact that his
aim had failed TO bring Davidson down
in their gun fight.
A search OF the negro's effects disclosed
that the gun with which he fought Da-
wilson was one he had stolen from the
same policeman some time ago when Da-
wilson was spending a holiday fishing
In Big Eagle
Among other things found in his room
were fifty handkerchiefs, many OF them
initiated. Police believe they represent
names Of many persons who doubtless
had been held up and robbed by the
negro. but had not reported their ex-
periences.

be at least three PAGES behind him.
She said that no husband would
ever speak with his wife in the pres

with two vacations during that long

that if 1t were possible she would
again like to be in India and at work
for the women of that country be-
cause she knew their need of women
missionaries and their earnest desire
to head 'the Old, Old Story of

fully interesting address, making the
condition of the Hindu women very
real by comparison with the life of
women in our own and other Chris

woman who died because it was not
allowed for a male physician to see
her, her husband stating that he
had rather she die than to be at

horrors of widowhood and the suf-

Question Carpenters Wages
Agitates Local Discussion

The following notices headed, RE

Gently appeared in the local paper,
are causing considerable comment as
to the outcome: I'VE wish to an
nounce that commencing with Mon
day, March 81, there will be re-
duction of 81 per day IN the wage
scale of journcyman carpenters on
our building jobs. Also that the
work will be done under open shop
conditions" Signed by A. T.. Conant

e Son.
The second notice entitled, "To
the Public, follows: 1.-The Local
Carpenters Union, No. 7S6, at its
meeting last Monday evening voted
to make no change in the present
wage scale. From the discussion it
appeared that the Skowhcgan scale
is at present the lowest of any car
penters' union in Maine. AS to the
claim OF the contractors that the un-
ion compels them to charge a bonus
on each man, the union replies that
they do not approve OF the bonus
Union prices are 10 cents per hour;
5000 for an eight hour day and for
foreman on the work only 10 cents
extra per hour is charged.
"There are several men in our
local union fully capable of taking
charge of any kind Of building and
the citizens Of this locality can en-
ploy their carpenters for IS cents
per hour and foreman at only 10
cents per hour extra. We hope that
the citizens will not think our prices
are excessive. We do not have more
than six months work in a year and
we find the amount we can earn
through the summer season will not
carry us through the winter with
