WITH NATIONALIST ARMY,
Outside Santander, Aug. 25. U.P-
Thousands of terrified civilians and
Loyalist soldiers attempted to flee
Santander today as 10000 men Of
the Nationalist northern army con-
verged on the city from three sides,
hoping to take it within "a hours.
Santander, last Loyalist port on
the Bay of Biscay, was surrounded
on all sides. The only avenue OF
escape was the sea where Nation
alist craft including fishing boats
equipped with machine guns were
rushing to establish a complete
blockade. Sailboats, rowboats and
even RATS were being utilized.
The Nationalist radio station at
Bilbao reported that the city had
offered to surrender and that the
civil governor, Jose Alvarez, had
resigned and fled.
The nearest of the three main
msurgent columns awaited orders
to advance from the village OF
Barreda, 10 miles from Santander's
first houses. The column, composed
of Navarro Carlists-called stuffed
olives" because they wear red ber-
cts and blue overalls-had COM
pleted occupation of Torrelavega
and marched on to Barreda, cutting
all roads from Santander province
into Asurias province.
Another column of Navarro mer

ANCIENT FEUD
IN BEEF AREA
FLARES ANEW

SAN PERLITA, Tex, Aug. 25
CUP)-Another case of gun toting
was called up for hearing in JUS
tice of the peace court today as
result of the Blanton mystery al
the vast King ranch.
Morgan Miller, former game war
den on the million acre cattle King
dom, was charged with impersona-
ting an officer and carrying a pistol
without authority.
The disappearance of the Blant-
ons, Luther and John, nine months
ago, while hunting ducks near the
forbidden game preserves of King
ranch, has aroused hostilities in
south Texas that extended into
law enforcement agencies.
Miller was relieved of his official
duties a few weeks ago after he and
three other officers were charged
with illegally holding a special con-
stable who had been sent to inves-
tigate the Blanton case.
The Blantons were small farmers
and their disappearance stirred up
the ancient feud between the large
and small landholders of the cattle
country. The small farmers long
have resented the fencing and pa
trolling operations of the King
ranch operators and their armed
riders. They threatened few
months ago to raid the big ranch
and destroy the buildings in a
search for the Blantons, until state
rangers came to preserve order.

very pleasant memory to William

tendance has exceeded past fig
ures, the racing has been salts
factory and the betting even more
so For instance, on Saturday,
there was close to $240,000 un-
loaded into the machines. Last
year. the take was $177,O00.
NO world beaters were un'
earthed during the last six days
but, just the same, number OF
good horses proved their prowesS.
Sir Oracle, in his victory, showed
he was a sprinter of note. Lady
Higloss is another that demon

many of his ability to go the
route.

The former is the best stabbed here,
anc, when he enters the three
year-old division, within week
or so, he will be a dominant
factor. Polyata prefers a sprint
more than a route, but figures
to give a good account of herself
in any company.
Hrsch Jacobs has not started
off so sensationally as last season,
though he has won several races.
One popularity about the Jacobs
horses is when they are claimed
they generally fail to run to the
Jacobs form. On Saturday, Spar

of her previous race, finished
third.
