5 Shots Strike Car Driven
by Franklin Freshman;
Demand Official Scalp.

BIZ Times Special
EDINBURG, Ind, Oct. 24.-That
portion of the citizenry of Edinbure
who are foes of w. G. Milburn, the
towns preacher-marshal, again are
demanding his official scalp as a
result of his firing five shots at an
auto driven by George Myers
Franklin college freshman, living
near here.
According to Myers he was en-
route home from Indiar apolis at
night when the marshal waved a
lantern as if signaling for stop
Myers said he feared he was going
to be held up, and speeded up the
car. Five bullets were fired at the
car, all striking a fender.
Demand Pay for Damage
Later Myers saw the marshal on
a street here and recognized him as
the man who shot. He demanded
the officer pay for damage to the
car. Whereupon Milburn is alleged
to have administered severe
shaking and told Myers he should
be thankful the bullets hit the auto
instead of him.
Milburn declared that shortly be-
fore the shooting he had been given
tip that a light had been seen in
a sawmill by which Myers passed.
and that he was making an in
vestigation regarding the light. He
said he had an idea the man in the
car was transporting liquor.
Faces Killing Charges
A few months ago James Glass,
Milburn's deputy, fatally shot Earl
Jackson, 81, and is now facing trial
on a manslaughter charge. 1t is
said the shooting followed an at
tempt to arrest jackson, declared
by Glass to have been drunk.
Prior to the shooting, Milhurn, a
Church of God minister, had been
the center of stormy episodes. At
one time it was charged that his
strict law enforcement was keeping
business away from Edinburg mer-
chants, because farmers were afraid
to come to the town. Milburn
countered with an offer to pay $40
to any farmer who would say he
had such a fear.
