 Hospital GIardsd
 Carloads Of arTlieA men were re-
 ported pouring into HetFin tonight
 from all directions. Sheriff Galli-
 gan said he was informed klansmen
 were coming from Marion, Benton. Mount Vernon and other nearby
 cities. Prior to the arrival of troops, GalIigan had ordered extra
 guards around the city hospital
 The renewal of the warfare, which had died down in recent months started early this afternoon shortly after States Attorney Delos Duty had dis missed the murder charges against the Shelton brothers, Carl and Earl. for the staying of Constable Caesar Cagle, a klansman, in rioting of last Febru- ary 8.
 Forty or fifty shots were said to have been fired. The shooting started when Sheriff George Galligan went to the J. H. Smith garage with two deputies on instructions from States Attorney Delos Duty to seize the car. alleged to have been used by the assailants of s. Glenn Young, klan liquor raider, and his wife, near Okawville, H., last May g.
 Sheriff's Account
 The only coherent account of the af- fair available early tonight was from Sheriff Galligan, bitter opponent of the Ku Klux Klan. The sheriff said that he and Deputies Allison and Thomas entered the garage he noticed Dewey Newbolt, an alleged klansman, sitting in a chair with four guns strapped to his waist. Galligan said Newbolt fired upon them and they returned the fire.
 The dead are all of Herrin and four of them-Newbolt, Dunnil.g. Reid and Willard-are klansmen, according to the sheriff. Roland was a bystander and was hit by a stray bullet He died in the Herrin City hospital, the same building riddled by bullets in the Febru- ary riot.
 Carl Shelton was shot through the hand. Sheriff Galligan declared he be- lieved Newbolt fired the shot which wounded Shelton, but said the latter's presence in the neighborhood seemed CO., incidental. The Shelton boys, he said, were just preparing to drive to East St. Louis following dismissal of the in- dictments against them.
 The dismissal case came into Herrin city court after jury had been selected but not sworn in. The states attorney said he had insufficient evidence for prosecution. Tim Cagle, father of the slain constable. made dramatic state ment to the court in which he said he did not believe the Shelton brothers were guilty.
 In Constant Turmoil
 Bitter factional feelings, resulting from continued law violations. the ac- tivities of s. Glenn Young and his ad- herents and strong klan and anti-klan sentiment have kept this community in a state of more or less turmoil for sev- eral months.
 Today's trouble, it is conceded, is traceable to last February s, when Con stable Cagle was killed and Deputy Sheriff John Layman wounded For
