ing. He fired two shots from a re-

about 8 a. m. today when a running
rapid-fire gun battle was staged
there between deputy sheriffs and
rum runners in automobiles.
More than twenty-five shots we're
exchanged.
Both cars we're badly damaged
and one rum gunner killed.
Carl Taylor, "a, Negro police char

He was left whit a shot through

SNOWSTORMS RAGE
IN IOWA, NEBRASKA
No Relief From Cold Seen
for Isolated Sections of
Middle West.

IN JHftcd Press
CHICAGO, April T. Freezing
temperatures, accompanied by snow
or rain in many sections, was fore
cast for the Middle West today as
the storm which Friday blanketed
Iowa and Nebraska with snow and
flooded the Southwest continued
eastward.
The forecast held little hope for
favorable weather for Easter prom
enaders. While Sunday was expected
to be generally fair throughout the
Central States, subnormal weather
would prevail, the Weather Bureau
said.
Omaha, Lincoln, Sioux City and
other eastern Nebraska and western
Iowa cities were digging themselves
out from under more than a foot
of snow today, as disrupted tele-
phone and telegraph communica-
ton was being restored after having
isolated them for nearly twenty-fo1r
hours.
The snowfall, heaviest April fall
on record, had practically abated
today, although temperatures still
we're falling. Actual damage was
estimated at between 100000 and
100000, but farmers said the snow
was worth millions as a blanket for
the spring wheat crop.
The storm tore down more than
1000 poles and forced newspapers
to resort to radio for their outside
news. Stations at Kansas City and
Des NIoines were utilized. Several
ciSes we're without lights or street
car service for a time, but railroad
and air mail schedules continued
unhampered.
Rivers and creeks in Kansas,
Oklahoma and Arkansas we're out
of their banks and many persons
we're forced to flee to higher ground.
The unreasonable weather and rain
was felt as far south as Texas.

FILE LAST PLEA TO
STAY HALLS DEATH

Death crept close to John Hall, 20,
of South Bend today as a letter
from his attorney containing a last
desperate appeal for mercy lay on
the desk of Governor Ed Jackson.
Hall is sentenced to be electro
cuted at Indiana State Prison at
Michigan City Tuesday. The Gov
ernor will not be abck to his Office
until Monday. HC is at Ciifty Falls
State Park with his family, resting.
Pliny Wolford, secretary to Jack
son, has arranged a conference Of
Halls attorney, Frank E. Coughlin,
South Bend, with the Governor
Monday.
Coughlin wrote that Thomas
OBrien, pal of John Hall, now
serving a life term in State Prison,
has confessed that he, not Hall,
struck Louis Kreidler, South Bend
druggist, fatal blow on the head
in a robbery attempt two years ago.
The State contended in the trial
that Hall hit Kreidler. The drug
gist died five days after the attack
Coughlin says that OBrien did
not confess until Friday because he
had hoped to keep the fact that
he had struck the blow from his
aged, ailing mother Coughlin says
O'Brien now says he does not desire
to add the weight of young Halls
death to that of the druggist upon
his soul.
Hall was to have gone to the
chair March 9, but the Governor
granted a stay. On March 30 prison
trustees held a public hearing upon
