BATTLE between
union MINERS
Thousands of Bullets Were Ex.
changed Before Darkness
Halted Firing.

Herrin, Ill.-Darkness compelled
cessation of hostilities between strik.
ing union miners and employees of the
Southern Illinois Coal company's strip
mine near here, after hours of fighting
in which thousands Of shots were ex.
changed. One union miner is known
to have been killed. Reports were cur.
rent that IL to Is employees Of the
Strip mine were killed but these could
not be verified because of the confu.
sion at the camp.
Two union miners were wounded
seriously and about six others were
wounded slightly. Three mine guards
were reported seriously wounded.
Thousands of persons, many armed,
were rushing to the camp and the con-
fusion made it impossible to check up
the casualties reported suffered by the
Southern Illinois company's employees.
The strip mine, surface colliery, at
which coal is scooped of the ground
instead of dug in subterranean chan
nels, allowed the employees to entrench
themselves behind piles Of coal on the
ground waiting to be loaded onto cars.
The striking miners, said to number
more than 1000, surrounded the camp,
shooting from all sides, and open war
fare was conducted for esveral hours.
The bullets spat with machine.gun
regularity. 81

New Salem, N. D.-Thousands of

Montana, Idaho, South Dakota, and

This years tour more than doubled
In attendance and interest the record

The first generation of insects in the

MAY TIME AUTO RACERS
AT FAIR ELECTRICALLY

An effort is being made to obtain an
electrical timing machine for use in
timing the speed demons in the auto
mobile races at the state fair in Fargo,
July 1922.
Secretary f. w. Roberts has receiv-
ed word from A. r. Corey of Des
Moines, Iowa, secretary Of the inter-
national motor contest association, the
body which controls the dirt track
racing Of the country, to the effect
that an electrical timer may be pur-
chased for the local meet. Electrical
timing machines have proved very sat
isfactory wherever they have been
thoroughly tried out, declares Secre-
tary Corey.
Should an electrical timer become
available for the racing at this years
fair, 1t will be possible at this years
Gals to announce the time in split
seconds after each race. The install
lation Of timer would insure the
acceptance by the official contest
board of the I. NJ. G. A. Of any records
which might be made. Without such
timing device there is always chance
that any actual record made may not
be accepted.
Secretary Corey announces that a
number Of new drivers have made
application to the I. NJ. @. A. for licen-
ses this year. Only pilots licensed by
this body are permitted to compete on
the local track. This precaution is
taken to insure high class, experienced
drivers and to protect persons attend
ing the races from injury by incom-
petent pilots.
With two days of auto racing on the
program, visitors to the fair are as
sured a series Of thrills. Among the
stars that have already sent in their
entries, drivers of exceptional ability
and fame are numbered.
Daily exhibitions Of auto polo, Am
erica's most thrilling sport, will be a
feature of the entertainment program
in front of the grandstand at the
North Dakota, State fair, Fargo, July
II to %.
Two men and a stripped automobile
make UP each team. Each car is
manned by driver and a malletman.
The malletman, is. equipped with a
regular polo mallet, which he uses in
his efforts to drive the ball between
the goal posts of his opponents. Since
the cars are overturned and smashed
up in nearly every game, the driver
must possess great nerve and skill in
handling the wheel. Auto polo is one
of the few major sports that can be
played at night as well as by. day.
The polo games will be only one of
the many big features on the enter
tainment program. Fair officials de-
clare they have number Of surprises
in store for visitors. The complete
program will be announced shortly.
