According to Oscar Coolican, local
Packard dealer. nothing is gained
by the car owner when he decides
to do his own servicing, since this
tends to break down the quantity
idea and makes it impossible to
offer major service work at low
figures.

MOVE TOWARD
COAL FIELDS
Disorders May Occur Wher
Nine n-UniOn Mines
Reopen Tomorrow

indianapolis, Feb. 23.--tP)-Two in
fantry companies Of the Indiana Ma
tional Guard moved today toward the
coal fields in the southwestern part
of the state where they will be held
in readiness to assist civil authori-
ties should disorders occur when nine
non-union mines are re-Opened after
several weeks of idleness. The in
fantrymen were to be followed by the
l13th observation squadron, the air
unit Of the Indiana guard.
The troop movement was ordered
late yesterday by Adjutant General
William II. kerchner following a con-
ference with Governor Ed Jackson.
The adjutant general said the troops
would not be sent into action unless
disorders developed beyond control
Of the local officials.
The guardsmen are to be quartercd
at Evansville. From that city as a
base they will be prepared to move
quickly to mines in Vanderburgh and
Warrick counties.
Sporadic firing between union SYM
pathizers and non-union miners dur
ing a unionization campaign, which
has been in progress several weeks
has resulted in tense situation
state officials have been advised. The
announcement that nine mines, closed
as a result Of the unionization drive
would be re-opened tomorrow, is un'
derstood to have caused local peace
officers to advise that serious out
breaks might result.

Second Assistant Postmaster
General Makes Brief Stop
in Bismarck

w. Irving Glover of Washington.
D. c., second assistant postmaster
general, was in Bismarck this morn
ing on official business. While here
several local business men called on
him informally at the office of Post
master O. Lundquist to renew their
acquaintance. Mr.. Glover has been
in Bismarck on at least two previous
occasions and is we'll known to many
local people.
The air mail service comes under
Mr.. Glovcr's bureau and he gave his
visitors this morning much interest
ing information as to how these
routes are established and operated.
The new route from the Twin Cities
to Chicago, he said, would be in
operation about April l. An extern
sion of this route from the Twin
Cities westward through North Da-
kota is future possibility, said Mr..
Glover, although requests for such
service would first have to come
from cities along the proposed route.
The only action which the govern
ment can take in such matters, Mr..
Glover stated, is to advertise for bids
and let contracts for the carrying of
such air mail when sufficient re-
quests have been made for the es-
tablishment Of a route. =
Mr.. Glover is accompanied on his
trip through the northwest by X

Fire discovered shortly after 9
o'clock last evening caused consider
able damage to J. I. Siegafs Army
& Navy store on Broadway. between
Fourth and Fifth streets. The fire
apparently started in a box Of sweep
ings and waste paper at the rear
end of the store and had gained con-
siderable headway before it was dis
covered.
The fire department soon got the
blaze under control with the use OF
two streams Of water, but the store
room was considerably damaged al
the rear, and the stock Of merchan-
disc was badly damaged by smoke
and water. Nelson's Millinery and
Klein's clothing store, adjoining the
Siegal store on the east, suffered
slight smoke damage.
The fire truck. while laying Sec
ond line of hose at the fire last
night, ran into an automobile whic:
tried to turn into the alley ahead OF
the truck and damaged the chi
somewhat. A city ordinance re
quires that all vehicles draw to the

and give the fire truck clear right

ROBBERY WAS MOTIVE

Mandan, N. H., Feb. 23.-LR)-ror
twenty years Fred Stoller, 70, farmer
living five miles northwest of Car
son IN Grant county, had voiced his
disbelief in all banks and had been
IN the practice of carrying large
sums Of money in his clothes. Today
county officers are seeking clues to
unravel the murder Of the aged man
late Sunday night and the probable
theft of between $4,000 and $1,000 in
! currency.
Sunday evening Henry Stoller, 20,
John Stoller, 81. and their mother
visited neighbors. Henry walked
home from the neighbor's at about
1880 p. m. The mother and other
son reached home from another
neighbor's at 1l:45. They found the
aged mans bedroom afire, his body,
clad in night clothes, lying at the
door with his skull crushed in two
places, the corpse and bed clothes,
floor and furniture blackened BY
flames.
Money Ii Taken
Stoller's coat was found with two
pockets ripped out. Another pocket
with $3.50 sewn into it was not
touched.
A coroner's inquest Monday has
held up its verdict pending investi-
cation of the crime.
Evidence was produced to show
that Stoller had been in bed and ap-
parently had risen when some one
, entered the house, rambling field
. stone building. A fierce struggle
took place. After numbering the aged
farmer the thief poured kerosene
about the room, but with door and
windows closed the fire had practi-
, cally burned out when the mother
and sons returned.
