 WITH SHERIFFS
Three Negroes Reported Dead and Rest Fled Into the Hills Near Reelt0fl, Alabama

ReeItown, Ala, Dec 20-(U. P.) A band of 100 negro farmers, who engaged deputy sheriffs in a series of skirmishes in which three negroes were reported dead and at least IA persons were wounded, re- treated to-day into the hills near here. Officers who participated in the battle contended the trouble was result of the spread of "communistic' propaganda urging the negroes to resist attachment of property and demand minimum wage scale of g per day.
 The first shots were fired by Cliff ford James, negro farm tenant, who resisted efforts of a deputy sheriff to serve a writ of attach ment for a COW and mule. The reputy returned few hours later with four others from Dadeville and Tallassee to attach the ani- mals. They were met by 100 arm ed negroes who opened fire from a cotton field.

One of the claims is that of the Federal Reserve Bank at Bos- ton for $35,000. Another is that of the Mechanics Bank of New Ha- ven for $32,000. Several other claims were for smaller amounts.
