Machine Guns Used To Drive Away Maraud- CTS, But There Are No Serious Casualties Operators Meet.

staunton, Ind. Aug. (By Assoc, ciated Press).-First hostilides in connection with the taking over of mines by state occurred today when | National Guardsmen on guard duty were fired upon from ambush. The fire was returned by the guards and later the firing was taken up over the entire area. Automatic rifles were brought into action by the troops ana the firing continued for more than an hour. No Soldiers Injured. Reports received by Major Gen. Robert Tyndall in command of the troops said that no one was injured. It. was said. however. by some of the men on duty that one man was slightly injured.
 Investigation by military officials indicated that although the firing lasted several hours, the attacking party was small. It was reported that several men from nearby towns came to this city and announced that they were going to "get . flock of soldiers" They fired on an outpost and the fire was immediately re- turned.
 Machine Guns Used.
 The continued firing was the result Of the take no chances" orders given the militia. No one is supposed to be in the occupied zone without pass and the men with passes are sup. posed to travel only on the public highways. AS a result when the att tacking persons fired the militia swept the spot with machine gun md rife fire.
 Wires Are Cut.
 Temporary telephone wire strung between general headquarters and tho outposts were cut in some places be- fore the firing started and squads were busy today repairing them. New outposts were established at va rious strategic points.

Curb Market
BY STUART P. WEST
Copyright, 1872

New York, March 23.-Dealings
we're almost entirely professional
on the curb exchange today ana
recessions were due almost entire
ly to selling by floor traders. The
exceptions to the general trend
were Hudson and Manhattan IS
sues, which moved into new high
ground on urgent buying orders
which found offerings scant. Kirby
Petroleum showed resistance 10
selling on the report that the COM
pany's output for the first 20 days
Of March amounted to 195,142 bar
reis. Hudson Oil reflected contln-
ued buying on the strength of the
new 5000 barrel well in the Ell
dorado field Acme Packing was
active and advanced sharply on
new buying.
Many of the oil shares were
slightly lower, but in no instance
was there a drastic decline. Frac-
tional losses were shown in Mex
leo Oil, International Petroleum
and a number of others which were
active recently. A fair inquiry was
reported for Vacuum, Indiana Pipe
Lille, EuTShd pc LAAiC anu -
ard Oil of New York slightly below
the offering prices.
Motor stocks were heavy during
the greater part of the session.
Postum Cereal, Goldwyn Pic
lures and Libby, Mcneil & Libby
were in supply.
Activity prevailed in the mining
stocks. Boston and Montana issues
were Influenced by an unfavorable
report on the properties by firm
heretofore prominently identified
with the market shares. Magma
Copper was firmer; 2.36 for March,
PSI for May, 2.70 for July, 2-S5 for
September and 290 for December.
Refined sugar was at $50 for
March. 500 for May and July. 6.10

New York, March 23.-Nothing
broke the dizziness of the dealings
in print cloths on the drygOods
market today. Dealers feel that
the curtailment of the New England
mills must have an improving eff
feet in time, although at the pres
ent the possibility of a shutdown of
the Pacific Mills, large users OF
wide gray goods, has been depress-
ing. Some 3S1@-inch 64x60's sold at
7h cents, and a shade higher was
paid in some quarters. The 6Sx72'3
sold at about S1s cents. The extent
of South American buying of brown
sheeting is becoming more appar-
ent and much of the three-yard
goods has ben cleaned up. Sateens,
twills, pajama checks and fine
goods were very quiet
The silk market showed little
change, either in prices or volume
of trade and dealings in finished
goods were of small proportions.
WOOL.
Boston, March 23.-The fact that
the wool tariff schedule was not
taken up IN Washington yesterday
is keeping the trading in the wool
market here to small proportions.
The London auction sales continue
to reflect firm and hardening
prices, however, and holders here
are firm in their demands. The au-
ction of the woods OF the Southeast
ern Idaho pool April 10, is being
awaited with interest as it is felt
that this will tend to establish a
basis for trading throughout that
section of the west. The offerings
will include about $4,000 pounds
still on Sleeps backs and about
10000 pounds of the 1921 clip now
in Boston warehouses. Delivery on
the latter can be made at any time.

Introduced and was considered Sc
