.MARSHAL'S HEARING
 IN FEDERAL COURT
Man Shot by Officer Says He
 DeInurTed Because Wife III

Richmond, Va, Aug. IT (UP)- Carl c. Collins, deputy United States marshal who is alleged to have seriously wounded store keeper at Port Richmond in at tempting to arrest him yesterday for a liquor violation, may be tried in federal court here on a charg" of attempting to kill. instead of 'n King William county court, it de- vcloped today.
 Will Ask Transfer
 Gallon B. Jones, assistant federal district attorney, will file a petition with the King William court asking that the case be transferred, and special attorneys retained to assist in the prosecution have indicated they would not oppose the move.
 Peter Miller, 33-year-old store keeper, was fighting for his life in Memorial hospital here today with two pistol bullet wounds in his stomach.
 Miller was reluctant to submit to
 
 arrest, according to his attorneys, because he wished to remain with his wife, who was preparing to give birth to child. A midwife who was with Mrs. Miller in a room in the rear of the store at the tine of the shooting is among the wit nesses cited to appear in the case.
 Posed As Insurance Agents
 The wounded man told police that Collins and another officer, s. H. Easter. federal dry agent, entered his store and represented them selves as insurance agents. After asking for soft drinks, he said, Col lins informed him he was under ar rest for selling liquor to two under cover agents last week.
 Thinking the man could not be serious, and also because of the condition of his wife, he resisted being handcuffed and the shooting enSued.

SECOND HUNDRED
 YEARS NO EASIER
Man Loses Way on Farm After
 Living There for Century

Cheboygan, Mich, Aug. IT DP)- -"Belief that the first hundred years are the hardest" is just so much drivel, according to Culbert LaFernier, 10S.
 Last week the aged farmer who has resided on the same farm for nearly century lost himself for the first time in a piece of property which he after so much experience should have known by heart.
 LaFernier is spry for his age and he decided to visit the farm of neighbor He found his way to his destination, but on the return trip encountered trouble. He had de- parted in the morning and was ex- pected to return within a few hours.
 Noon came, but not LaFernier. His relatives became alarmed and a search was started. No trace was found, and finally they notified the state police. Searching posses were hastily organized. All neighbors were pressed into service, and spread out over three mile radius.
 A white shirt seen fom a distance in the woods at 9 o'clock led to the finding of LaFernier sitting calmly on the ground, and ended the hunt He was four miles from home, and how at his age he ever walked so far, much of the distance in a dense woods, was probably a mystery even to himself.
 He wasn't worried when he couldn't find his way home. he said When darkness came, he settled down for the night, intending to get his bearings in the morning when the sun rose.
 But he is not going to repeat the experience. "I am never going to leave the house again." he vowed to his sons and grandchildren.

that the dope upSets completely
ruined him Saturday night. Ohio
State nosed out Notre Dame, Vim

Cathedral was nosed out by st.
Mary'S of Anderson by one point,
making total of four misses. Ko-

helped keep us entirely out of the
red by defeating Upton and Me-

That's total of twenty-eight wins
and ten losses, percentage of .7S1. Not
so good, even for an amateur.
Despite Saturdays reversals. we'll
carry on as true troupers should.
and stand by Butler and Purdue to
knock off Nebraska and Vanderbilt,
respectively. tonight.

Indiana Is
Counted Out
of Running
Northwestern and Michigan
Strong ContenderS
for LaureIS.
BY VERN BOXELL

Western Conference basketball
teams have an unusual custom OF
breaking preseason predictions, but
on the eve Of the 1880 race. North
western and Michigan appear to be
outstanding contenders. closely fol-
lowed by Purdue and Wisconsin.
This is the same quartet which
finished on top last season. Indi-
ana has not shown we'll in early
games. and has been counted out OF
the title running.
Illinois appears strong and while
not of title caliber probably will
provide some upsets. Ohio State,
conquerors of Notre Dame Saturday
night, are in the same class with
the Illini. Chicago and Minnesota
appear. to be outclassed completely.
Former HOosier Stars
Three of the Northwestern uuin-
tet that appears to be in front at
the present time, are former IndiA
ana high school stars. Captain Rut
Walter of Kokomo at center, Nc
Carnes Of LoganSport at guard and
Lockhart of MartinSville at guard,
have played important roles in the
Puppies string of victories. Berg
hern, who gained gridiron fame as
a full back this fall, and Riel, a
veteran, complete the first five.
Michigan, ,captained by Bob
Chapman, who teamed with Stretch
Murphy on the Marion prep cham
pionS in 1926, has a veteran five.
wisconsin has been favored by
one of the easiest schedules OF the
group, and the return of two prom
inent veterans, ChimeleWski and
Foster, gives the Badgers a strong
nucleus.
Hopes Rest on Veterans
Purdue's hopes rest on co-Cap-
talnS Murphy and HarmeSon, and
Boots, veterans of three years ex-
perience. Johnny Wooden, brilliant
floor guard, who starred with Cur
tls-coached machines at Martins

THIS department has received
L info to the effect Mike Kelley,
dean of American Association man
ayers, plans to retire on a fifty
fifty basis next season. In other
words, Mike has decided to stay off
the road in 1880 and occupy the
bench only when the Millers are
at home. Bill Meyer, assistant to
Kelley last season and former
Louisville manager and catcher, will
handle the managerial reins while
the Minneapolis nine is abroad, 1t
is said.
Kelley is part owner of the club
and feels he has reached the age
where less travel will do him good.
He has been a notable figure in
baseball and with his part retire

Stove League Chatter
BY EDDIE ASH

When the American Association
was organized in 1902 the records
disclose the pilot of the st. Paul
club at that time was M. J. Kelley,
and the fact the veteran Is carrying
on in the league speaks well for his
ability and endurance. Only two
seasons since the league was
launched found him missing from
the helm of one Of the clubs.
q u
Most of Mixes managerial years
have been spent with st. Paul and
Minneapolis. He took over the In
dianapolis team in 1913, but failed
to lift it out of rut and it changed
ownership during the campaign.
I'm recent years Kelley has de-
Il livered several interesting SER
mons, one dealing with young men
taking up baseball. He says lads
nowadays don't start in early
enough in life at the league game.
In the old days, according to Mike,
boys of Is or II cut away from
home ties and tried their hand in
the small minors. He said he was
a full-blown Lacquer at II.
According to stove league gossip,
