INQUEST INTO j,
GUN BATTLE u
REVEALS NIL
None Of Forty Persons Arrested
In Raid Of Belle Grove Inn
Able To Throw Light On
Principals Who Shot Up"
Place-All Released
ONE MAN KILLED;
SEVERAL INJURED

Investigation of the gun battle
at Belle Grove Inn, upper Anne
Arundel county in the early hours
of last Sunday morning, practi-
cally came to an end yesterday
afternoon when all of the 40-odd
prisoners arrested as State wit
nesses at the time the place was
raided, were ordered released
from the county Jail here by di-
rection of States Attorney James
NJ. Munroe. One man was killed
and several persons were injured
during the fight. Examination of
the witnesses failed to produce
any tangible evidence as to the
identity of the party or parties
who "shot up" the place.
To Question Few More
The only witnesses remaining to be
examined by the jury of inquest OF
which Police Justice William S.
WEIGH, of Annapolis, is acting coro-
ner, is the physician who conducted
the post-mortem examination OF the
body of Michael Cadora. the man who
was shot to death, and the several In
jured men who have been under treat
ment at hospitals. With this testi-
mony in, the jury will then prepare
formal verdict in the case.
Nearly All Frightened on
OF the two score persons who ap-
| peared as witnesses, IL OF whom were
young women, all claimed they did
not know any of the men who engsg-
ed in the shooting. while only one OF
two said they would be able to iden-
| tify any Of them. The large major
uy Of witnesses said they ran at the
| first sign OF excitement and did not
see any of the men using pistols.
No Clue To Work On
The fruitless result of the inquest.
| leaves county police officials virtual
| ly without a clue to the identity OF
| the men who held up the inn, making
| off with about 5000 and who started
the gun battle in which Cadora was
killed and at least six others were
| injured.
| No special session OF the grand
| jury will be called to investigate the
| occurrence, IL was announced by
States Attorney Munroe. Mr.. Mum
roe explained that absolutely no
Worthwhile evidence was brought out
at the inquest.
Stories Nearly Identical
The stories told by many OF the
witnesses were identical in many de-
tails. They said they had gone to
the resort Saturday night or early
Sunday with friends and that they
had no knowledge Of any trouble
scheduled to occur during the night.
when they heard the first disturb
ance, they said, they ran from the
dining room and either took refuge
in the trees or got in their automo-
biles and drove away. They said they
were either too frightened to see any
thing or that their backs were turnci
toward the bar.
William Rosky, ST., proprietor Of
the inn, told the story of the eight
armed men holding up the resort. He
said he would be unable to identify
' them, although none wore masks.
His son, William Rosky, Jr,. bartend-
er, testified that he fell against the
wall when one Of the bandits placed
gun against his ribs and remained
, there until they had gone. He would
be unable to identify them, he
thought. John z. Jenkins, manager
OF the roadhouse, said he ran from

Mr.. and Mrs. Waring, from interior

adjacent to their farm known as
"Pettibones Rest" on Chesapeake Bay
near the mouth of Magothy river, and

MAN
KILLED BY bull
AGED MOTHER HELPLESS WIT
NESS TO DEATH OF ARTHUR
V. SHAFFER

Arthur V. Shaffer, who lives on
Flanagan creek, near Potlatch, in
Latah county, was trampled to death
by an infuriated bull, Friday evening
He was leading the bull, which had
been dehorned, when the animal be-
came angry and knocked him down,
rolling him with his head and trampl-
ing him, until life was extinct.
Mr.. Shaffers mother, S3 years of
age, was a helpless witness to the
tragedy from the opposite side of the
fence. The frantic woman did every
thing in her power to drive the ami
NAL away, but was unable to even
attract his attention from his murder
GUS work After more than an hour
her screams brought help, but by that
time practically every bone in the
mans body was broken. 1t is said
that prior to this the bull had shown
no signs of being vicious.
Mr.. Shaffer was 46 years of age
and unmarried. For many years he
had been in poor health and had made
his home with his mother and
brother, L. t. Shaffer. He is survived
by the mother, four brothers and two
sisters, one of whom lives in Alaska
and the other in Oregon. Three of
the brothers live at Potlatch.
The funeral services were held at
the home at one o'clock Sunday, in
terment being in the Odd Fellows
plot in the Pot1atch cemetery

Dogs ATTACK Prize
SHEEP EARLY SUNDAY

Killer dogs wreaked havoc with a
flock of university prize sheep early
Sunday morning when they made an
attack upon the band kept in the
pasture.
No sheep were killed outright by the
dogs but a number were injured and
badly torn by canine teeth and sew
eral had to be killed almost immedi
ately, because of the wounds inflicted
by the killers. others are in such
not expected to recover.
The depredations were discovered
at about five a. m. by Sam Stoddard,
shepherd in charge of the flock when
he went out to look at the herd.
The dogs, apparently two in num-
ber, were traced for some distance
down the road but the tracks were
lost where the killers took across
plowed field.
The band which was attacked by the
dogs belong to the show stock of the
university and the loss is quite con-
siderable sum. More than sixty were
in the flock which had been turned
into the pasture for grazing.
More than a hundred sheep have
been lost in the past five years from
attacks made by killer dogs of the
community, stated Professor G. w.
Hickman of the animal husbandry
department. F'ifty-four were killed in
one night
Professor Hickman lays the depre-
dations to the loose, ll-dispositioned
mongrels of the neighborhood which
merely kill sheep for the pleasure.

SCHOOL IS GREAT
CITY BUILDER
PORTLAND MAN SEES FUTURE
FOR MOSCOW AND UNIVERS-
ITY OF IDAHO

/ d. ID. Smith of Portland a repre-
sentative of the Portland Trust com
pany, which has holdings in Moscow,
arrived in the city Monday morning,
to look after his companys interests.
This IS Mr.. Smiths first visit to Mos
COW and he expressed himself as more
than pleased with the appearance of
the city and of the surrounding coun-
try, He said that he had not expected
to find so large a town, nor so well
improved
Mr.. Smith was especially enthusi-
astlc about the University of Idaho.
and of the effect it would have on the
growth and prosperity of the city, as
the school continues to grow When
told of the plan fostered by Moscow
business men to secure more dorni-
tory buildings, he said: NF
That is an excellent plan and
shows that you have some live wire
business men here. Just continue to
boost your university and help it to
grow, and you have, to a great ex-
tent, solved the problem of making
your city grow. Your wheat fields
are a great asset but your school is
also a great asset. In my work I
visit many school towns and have had
Gil oPpol IuHity W WAUGH CuoIl develop.
The benefits from your university are
cumulative. Men who went to school
here 20 or 25 years ago, are now
sending their children here, and those
who are here now will, in a majority
of cases, wish to educate their child
rem in the same school. Thus your
school and your community will grow.
Men will move their families here to
take advantage of the educational
facilities and young men who have at
tended the school, whether it be for
one year or four, will frequently drift
back to Moscow to locate. The school
will, over a period of years, draw
thousands of people here who would
never have known of Moscow other
wise, and a percentage of these people
will become permanent residents.
"a good school equals any industry
hat I know of as city builder, and
would advise the people of Moscow
o stand solidly back of their uni
yersity"
Mr. Smith expects to spend several
lays in Moscow

WHEAT YIELD BIGGER
Than WAS ANTICIPATED

The results of the wheat threshing
now in progress in the Moscow dis
trict are proving better than antici-
pated by many, according to reports
coming in this week.
H. E. Hagedorn, who resides south
east of Moscow, reports that he is
getting twenty seven bushels to the
acre of Walla Walla red wheat. He has
a field Of 135 acres on his ranch.
G. E. Bowers says that his spring
wheat is not very good but that the
fall wheat is turning out twenty-five
bushels to the acre.
John OFT, farmer east of MOSCOW,
began threshing Saturday. He states
that his wheat is averaging better
than twenty-five bushels to the acre.
Up to date not much new wheat has
been placed on the market but what
has been brought in as a rule seems
to be threshing out better than was
expected.
Wheat prices range all the way from
81 cents to SO cents bushe1, depend
ing upon the kind of wheat and the
way it is delivered, says the manage
ment of the Farmers Union Ware
house company, which seems to be
handling all the 1922 crop that has
been placed on the market so far.
Club wheat leads at SO cents per
bushel in the sack Red wheat is sell
ing around 80 cents in the sack. Four
cents bushel is deducted from wheat
delivered loose.
Threshing began in earnest this
week and it is the opinion that by the
latter part of the week a steady
stream will be flowing into the ele-

EXPLOSIONS DAMAGE
THRESHING OUTFITS

Smut explosions are reported to
have wrecked the DeYoung and Rob
inson threshing machines operating
in the Clinton district west of town
this morning. Damages were con-
fined to separators and loss of wheat
by fire. No one was injured as far
as can be ascertained.
Both separators are said to have
BEEN Quilted of all inflamab1e parts
including the bearings.

operating at the w. H. Wolfe farm,
is reported to have set fire to three
or four stacks of wheat which were
entirely destroyed.
At the Robinson machine, a man
who was pitching grain into the sep
arator, is said to have had narrow
escape. The front end of his rack was
burnt badly but he managed to get
away without injury.
Mr.. Robinson went to Spokane i'm
for repairs and expects to
be operating again tomorrow unless
some unforeseen thing arises in con-
nection with the explosion.
The exact location of the DeYOung
machine and the extent of
the damage done to the separator
were not available at late hour this
afternoon but it is understood that
the damage was confined to the Separ-
ator.
