GERMAN SOLDIERS
WERE GENTLEMEN
In Comparison with the Union Miners
OF Williamson County,
Illinois

Herrin, H., June 23-(Associated
Press).-Herrin is quiet today after
yesterdays wild disorders in which at
least twenty-seven men were killed
and an unknown number wounded
when five thousand miners and SYM
pathizers attacked approximately half
a hundred imported steel shovel men
and laborers working IN the Lester
strip mine of the Southern Illinois
Coal Company. County officials main
tanned that since no one remained at
work, that in itself was a guarantee
against further outbreaks and assert
ed that the 1000 members of the Il
linois National Guard ordered mobi-
lized in Chicago for possible strike
duty here was unnecessary.
1t is believed the death list will in
crease today. Fifteen bodies, tied
together and weighted about the necks
were cast into a pond, a miner told
the Associated Press correspondent,
and the area over which the killings
occurred is estimated at fifteen square
miles of hilly, timbered land.

PICNIC AND FISH FRY OF
THE BUSINESS MEMS CLASS

The members of the business mems
class of the Methodist church surely
did have grand time at their picnic
and fish fry yesterday afternoon at
Blue Springs. About twenty left town
in the early afternoon and after a As
minute run arrived at the springs and
there enjoyed Thursday afternoon
holiday that was hard to beat. Those
who did not go in bathing sat around
and watched the antics Of the bathers.
Then they partook of a picnic lunch,
the incest part of which was the fish,
taken sizzling hot from the pan and
which had been caught by four of
Ocala's we'll known anglers, who went
over the evening before. At seven
o'clock the party was back in Ocala,
voting the afternoon the best yet.
In the beginning it was stated that
twenty left town. To be accurate
twenty-four left town, but only twen-
ty arrived at the picnic grounds, the
wanderings of the other four making

Ernest Colby, NJ A. Ten Eyck and A.
NJ Evans started out in Mr.. Tally's
car At St. Johns church there is
large sign pointing the way to Blue
Springs. Overlooking this they went
merrily on their way until Romeo was
reached, and having inquired the way
to Blue Springs they were told that
short run of six miles would take them
Their Having started on this road
their ride came to a sudden and dis
astrous end, when a tree suddenly
seemed to rise up in front of the Ford.
Mr.. M. A. Ten Eyck was unceremon-
iously precipitated through the wind
shield, receiving several cuts of
painful but not serious nature, and the
en- up rather roughly. The damage to
the car was a bent axle, which pre-
vented it from going further on its
way. The axle was taken back to
Romeo where it was Strengthened and
when the repaired part had been plac-
ed in the car it was about time for
the would-be picnickers to return
home, which they did, arriving in
Ocala about ten o'clock, hungry and
tired.
Those members of the class who did
enjoy the afternoon were Messrs. C..

ELKS ENJOYED PICNIC AND
BOAT RIDE ON THE RIVER

Members of the Ocala lodge of Elks
have always been known as good fell
lows and royal entertainers, and the
boat ride and picnic last night at the
springs fully sustained their reputa-
ton in this line. The cars to carry the
party to the springs gathered at the
lodge hall about five o'clock and soon
the run out to the springs was made.
While waiting for the last minute de-
tails to be looked after the crowd
watched the bathers and when "all
aboard" was called and the "Silver
Springs" swung out from the dock for
the run down stream, sixty-fve of the
"Best People on Earth were present.
The committee on arrangements,
consisting of S. NJ. Lummus, Edward
Tucker and "Shorty" Davidson" had
left nothing undone which would add
to the pleasure and enjoyment of their
guests. The trip down the run which
, in itself is a treat. was made more en-
joyable by music furnished by col
ored stringed orchestra and cooling
refreshments were served the travel
ers.
| On arriving at Conner the party
went ashore and there in the cool of
the evening a most appetizing menu
was served, consisting of chicken
purlo, sandwiches, pickles, etc. 1t be-
ing one of the longest days of the year
it was still light when the supper call
was sounded. During the feast the
orchestra played and the wits and
humorists in the crowd told jokes and
stories which made the feast a regu-
lar jolliication.
! The return trip was made in good
time, the jolly party reaching home
about eleven o'clock. This picnic has
been an annual affair for a number
of years and each time it is the "best
yet" The committee today has been
receiving the congratulations of those
who participated in the good time and
realizing how selfish the members
have been, they are now planning an
other outing which will be no further
off than next month and the invita-
tion list will include the friends and
! families of the members and two
boats will be required to carry the
crowd.
