FIGHT in OPEN FIELD

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 7.-One man
was in a hospital here with a bullet
wound in his head and his two score of
companions, bootleggers, were still at
large and unidentified today following
their three-hour gun battle with fifteen
prohibition enforcement agents in Prince
George county near Walnut, Maryland,
yesterday. The wounded man refused to
give his name before lapsing into I'M
consciousness.
In the seizure of three stills, one OF
1000 gallons capacity, and great guam
tity of corn whiskey, after the defenders
had taken TO the woods when their am
munition gave out, the authorities say
they have shut off one of the chief
sources of Washington's bootleg liquor
supply.
A $4,000 Outfit.
The raids were conducted by Wash
ington officers under the direction of
Lieut.. o. L. Davis.
Several thousand gallons of finished
corn whiskey were said to have been
seized at the larger plant and large
amounts also at the smaller stills, half
mile sway. Both plants were de-
scribed as deliberately equipped. The
police estimating the cost of erection
at not less than $4,000.
When the enforcement agents, armed
with riot guns and 45-calibre revolvers,
arrived and separated into groups to
make the raid, lookouts were said to
have given the alarm, at which more
than a score of men left the stills and
opened fire.
Reinforeements Arrive.
They then backed off, it was said, to
meet on a line of defense which they
held for more than an hour. Breaking
from there, the fighting then waged over
a mile of open fields and wooded ra-
vines for two hours more, during which
tie bootlegger force was almost doubled
by reinforcements before its members
escaped into the woods.
The wounded man is believed by the
officers TO have been struck by a bullet
from one of Ills own men.

The growing interest of women in
golf has demanded something comfort
able to play in, for those whose Puri-

the golf skirt. A straight pants leg,
probably "a inches wide over which a
wrap-around skirt buttons all the way
