Matters that have been threatening
an upheaval in school circles here for
some Weeks reached a crisis late Sat.
urday afternoon when frank Bourland.
ueposed as q member of the school
board, acting through his attorney Rus.
sell Brown, filed in district court a
petition asking for an order restrain.
ing the Ardmore school board from fur.
ther activity until the matters at issue
be definitely settled. He further prays
mat upon further trial the defendants
W. r. Burnitt, Frank Gates. Mrs. NJ.

from acting in any matter pertaining
to the school board of the said school
district without the said plaintiff hay
ing right to participate therein, and
that the defendant c. w. Richards be

are Mrs. Ikard, Mr.. Burnitt, Frank
Gates be required to recognize this

Mr.. Bourand's action came as a re-
suit of the action of the school board

anne time DIR. McNees was dropped
rom the board because he held the
)ffice of county physician DR.. McNees

appointed in his place, but Mr.. Bour-
and resigned his place as under sheriff
instead and demanded recognition on

used by majority of the board, with
Mrs. lizard dissenting.

SOME TIME, IT'S SAID
Hundred Miners Went to Pits

Lay Down Tools

TERRE HAUTE, Ind--Quiet reigned
last night at the Germs Company and
Morris and Faulkner mines near here
following disturbances which resulted in
the serious injury to five non.union
workers. Officials were still apprehen.
sive Of fresh outbreaks, however, and
armed guards were placed about the
mines. All employees OF the mines have
been armed.
The disorders began early Saturday
when n band of about 100 marched to
toe Kerns Company mine and demand.
ed that non-union men employed to lay
down their tools. The demand was re.
fused and the crowd rushed the em.
ployes, injuring five of them seriously
in the fighting that followed.
The men went to the Morris and
Faulkner within q short distance away
and made similar demand on the
workers employed there. The band.
however. by the time of its arrival at
the Morris and Faulkner mine had in.
creased to 500 persons and officials of
the mine sent in call for assistance
to authorities at Terre Haute.
Sheriff A. A. Wolfe formed a posse
and accompanied by Davy Jones, a dis.

ers Of America. went to the scene OF
the disturbance. Jones and Wolfe ad.
dressed the men, urging them to dis.
band. They withdrew short time
later going to their homes.
The trouble at the two mines, which
resumed operations recently after be.
ing idle since the mine strike was said
by authorities last night to have been
brewing since the company decided TO
employ non.union workers.
