BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 3.
(UP)-Martial law was de-
clared in the strike-torn
Clearwater county white
pine lumber area today by
Governor G. Ben Ross.
Two troops OF national guards
men, comprising approximately 100
men, were ordered into the strike
section where five men were shot
and three beaten severely last
night when strike pickets clashed
with workmen.
Joel Wilson, sheriff of Clear
water county, asked Governor
ROSS to rush the guardsmen in "as
soon as possible to prevent really
serious trouble"
Troops K and l of the 116th
Idaho Cavalry, from the Lewis
ton Occur D'Alene district, were
dispatched to the region.

Sheriff Wilson, in requesting
troops and a state martial law,
told the governor:
Large bodies of men have band

COUNTERFEIT

Dollar Offered AT
Cafe Turns Out
To Be Bogus

The dubious trail of a
leaden dollar, counterpart
of others which have ap-
peared in Ell Centre in re-
cent days, occupied the
sleuthing attentions of the Ell
Centre police department Monday
and caused many eastside resi-
dents to explore the contents Of
their jeans against a repetition OF
what happened to Herbert Hall,
Negro, 173 Orange avenue.
Hall rendered a dollar in pay
ment for a meal at a Broadway
cafe Saturday night. The dollar
was not as real as Halls smile,
cafe attendants thought, Sc they
called Patrolman Frank Record,
who in turn called for Hall and
delivered him at the police station.
Hall was concerned. He had no
idea that the ancestry of the coin
was in doubt he declared. He got
it from another Negro, Edgar
Spencer, he added. Spencer in
terviewed got it from another Ne
gro. There was no end to the
dollars CD travels.
The most police could do, it
seemed Monday, was to issue a
warning against similar bogus coins
in circulation here.

Now You Know
There's a popular song, isn't
there, that says-"and now you
know exactly how it feels!" Well,
they were humming it in and out
of the FL Centre police station
Monday, and the only clue to the
reason was a rather embarrassed
gleam on the face of Chief Copper
j. Sterling Oswalt, just back from
a 3400 mile jaunt to Flint, Mich.
Investigating the investigators,
however, RR discovered the why of
it. The chief, it seems, made the
3400 miles without official mishap,
until he got into the confines of
Arizona and almost out again on the
way back. Then someone looked
q his lights with official interest,
II an Arizona highway patrolman
heaved alongside.
"Lissen here, fella," he advised,
those lights of yours are pretty
high. Better get 'em fixed, before
