Jacksonville, Sept. 13.-One rail
road striker was stunned by bullet
and arrested, another apprehended
and more than twenty shots exchang
ed last night at 11:15 o'clock between
four strikers and county officers
when surprised in an attempt to dy-
namite the Six Mile creek trestle of
the Atlantic Coast Line north of
Jacksonville.
County officers up to an early
hour this morning were still search
ing in Moncrief for two men who es-
capped after emptying their guns at
the deputy sheriffs. One Of the men
is believed to be wounded and is hid
ing in swamp near the trestle.
The four men, the authorities said,
are Seaboard strikers.
Charles COSBY, aged %, living in
Lackawanna, is lodged in the county
Jail, still dazed by the bullet that
whizzed by the right side Of his head.
At first it was thought he had been
wounded
E. Pearson, AZ, giving his address
as 112 Kings road, is the other one
being held in the county Jail. He re-
fused to discuss the arrest.
Automobile Seized
A Chevrolet automobile, said to be
owned by one of the four men, is in
the custody of the county authorities
and is being held for Identification.
Four sticks of dynamite, about ten
inches long with fuses and caps, were
found at the end of the trestle. One
was burning, and, defying death,
Deputy Sheriff R. H. Shackleford
jerked the fuse from the stick just as
it was about to explode.
The names of the two men who
escaped, the authorities declared, are
known, and if they are not taken in
custody this morning BY the posse in
the woods, they viii be apprehended
some time during the day.

Jim, tantaliZed beyond endurance by a
certain sweet prOvOCativeness, had

that little matter was satisfactorily

Never had Jim seen Peggy look more
beautiful, her eyes glowing and her
cheeks whipped to a radiant color by
the crisp autumn breeZes. Beside her,
the little Milldale cousin paed to in

Driving out the crowded boulevard

British Army "Swagger."

1t has been said that the English
army authorities once issued an or
der that officers should not wear eye
glasses or spectaces, these being con-
sidered evidence of defective sight A
number of army officers then took to
wearing the monocle, disobeying the
army order by a safe margin and Civ

at the time, an air of distinction, the
thought being something like that
which prompted so many officers and

The Girl Jim Took
to the Game
BY H. LOUIS RAYBOLD


Jim Crawford fingered the oblong
bits of cardboard retlectively. His
tickets had safely arrived and, thank
heaven and the ticket Office, his seats
were as good as any ever allotted to
newly tledged graduates under the
strain of unprecedented demands. That
part of it was "all to the mustard"
Only-whOm to take? With jim the
choice was not a narrow one. Yet
gradually it simmered down to two,
Caroline Hemingway or Peggy Cur
tiss, both lively girls-and fair. For
Jim could not visualize himself as es-
corting to that colorful spectacle any
but pretty girl. To choose, then,
either CarOlineS dusky attractiveneSS
or Pegs winsome blondness?
"I've got it," said Jim. "Tll toss
up their telephone numbers and abide
by fate. Come seven ~
A moment later he snapped the re-
ceiver back on its hook. 1T was ever
so nice of him, thank you, but Caro-
line had already planned to so with
somebody else"'
Now for Peggy.
If Peggy's soft voice over the tele-
phone carried with it a bit more of q
thrill than had GATHERINGS, jim was
scarcely aware of the fact as her words
struck gradual dismay to his soul.
THE game? Oh, Jim, I'd love to, but
Blaine Ashley asked me ages ago. But
jim, I've got a simply tremendous fav-
or to ask you. Had you any one else
in mind? No? How splendid! You
see, my cousin is here from NIilldale,
and just dying to see the game. But
you know how it is about tickets. And
oh, jim, if you would take her! She's
awfully bright and-did you say, is
she pretty? Why-oh, Central you've
cut us off,"
An ultimate reconnectiOn and Jim,
wondering why on earth he had done
it, presently found himself pledged to
take Peggy's Milldale cousin to the
seasons greatest contest.
Early in the afternoon on the day
of the game, Jim drove his modest
little roadster up to the curb in front
of Peggy's home. Yes, there stood
the girls on the veranda. Beside

"AIi Talk and No Cider"

An American coloquialism which
finds its English equivalent in the
proverb Much cry and little wool"
This phrase originated at a party in
Bucks county, Pa, which had assem-
bled to drink a barrel of superior cider,
but politics being introduced, speeches
were made and discussion ensued till
some malcOntents withdrew on the
plea that it was a trap into which
they had been lured, politics and not
pleasure being the purpose of the
meeting, or, as they called it, "all talk
and no cider."-Chicago Journal.
