nor primarily how IL would affect
his party. but how the bitterness
engendered in the campaign might

According to the students they
halted their automobile in front of

the door to arouse the operator TO
buy gasoline and oil. Their shouts
were greeted with a fusillade Of
shots.
They beat a hasty retreat, carry
ing Barth TO the automobile. When
they returned with deputies from

with a volley Of shots. After the
fire had ceased. the officers called

The train robber. according to a
negro porter. who saw the man jump
from the mail car. dived into a pool
Of water between the tracks,. The
negro told officers the man was

loot in the leather bag on the beams
under the overhead structure and
called the taxi in which his woman
companion was to make her escape

Bootlegging Cigarettes Into Sweden

The high price of foreign cigarettes
under the Swedish monopoly law has
led to the development of smuggling
trade across the strait between Copen-

this section of Europe only by the boot
Logging activity along the coast of Fin

equivalent of 40 cents package in

wide margin of profit for those who
succeed in smuggling them across the

bands of such smugglers has been
broken up with the arrest of two men
who made regular trips between the
two countries dressed In special under
garments which allowed each to carry
80 cartons. Other smugglers managed
to evade officials by crossing between
isolated shore points in small boats.
