Slaughter

Two days ago FIJI ambushcd
a German staff car nearby,
whereupon members Of a Ger
man Panzer Grenadier Division
surrounded the village, shooting
at anything in sight. Everything
alive on the streets was killed.
That's how the 72-year-old
grandfather died.
One house caught fire. When
a young man fled with clothes
aflame he was shot down. An
other older man was shot as he
tried to run into the woods.
The Germans then searched
house by house, Selling every
man they found. When they
came to the one in bed with a
broken leg they just shot him
and went on.
The prisoners were loaded on
trucks, taken outside the village
and lined up before machine
guns. Most of the women and
children had fled terror stricken
into the woods but the wife of
one man followed the Germans.
BRUTAL BEATING
She fell on her knees in front
of the officer in charge of the
execution and pleaded for the
mems lives, her pleas were sue
cessful. The officer ordered the
execution cancelled but soldiers
fell upon the helpless men and
beat them with fists and rifle
butts.
Other German soldiers went
through the town, footing and
setting every house on fire.
This is not the first time this
German outfit burned a village
and shot many men," said 1t.
Robert Walker, of indianapolis,
Ind. "We have been following
this Panzer outfit and they
burned several villages"
Later at rear headquarters
came reports that the village of
Robert Espange had been burn
ed and So men killed and that
Beury had been burned. Both
villages are between Vitry and
st. Mihiel.

WASHINGTON, Sept. SIP
Whether the French farmer
collects immediate cash for his
cows depends on whether bossy
died in battle or after it.
Such points have been coming
up lately thicker than gnats in
the summertime, and here's the
plan of treatment:
If a she'll blows bossy to
greener pastures during combat
between German and American
forces, international understand
ings and United States law rem
der the chances of the farmer
collecting rather thin.
Collection for damages in
Cured during combat rest pri-
marily with the possibility that
some of the reparation money
extracted from the defeated bel
ligerent eventually might sift
down to the farmer.
Should the cow be run over
by an American truck after the
battle has moved up the road
couple of miles, the farmers
chance of collection is much
brighter. American law pro-
vides for payment to individuals
of claims up to $4,000 for losses,
damage or injuries resulting
from "non-combat" accidents or
incidents.
The Army claims office, with
lawyers in uniforms constituting
a large part of its staff, investi-
gates and makes payment on
claims by civilians for damages
resulting from operations of ac-
Invites of the armed forces in
instances other than combat.
Settlements are made for
property damage, personal in
jury or death, use of property,
such as the billeting of troops
and other similar claims. Stipu-
lation is made for the time in
which claims must be filed.
Claims are payable for acts or
commissions, wv h h inten-
tional or unintentional' and
which may be criminal. negli-

fence and get ready to have their
ears scratched as soon as they
saw me. Trixie, the dog, still
stayed in the pen and would
stop any fights by biting the
cubs on the nose"
King made arrangements for a
noted lion tanner, Chubby Gull
foyle, to come to the farm and
train some of the animals for
the show. ring and exhibition
purposes. Young Manuel want
ed to help with this work.
TRAINING TOUGH
The boy found that genuine
lion training is slow work. When
he would start to make a lion
do something, he would have to
keep at it until the lion obeyed
his command. That was for dis
cipline. Sometimes 1t would
take two hours to make lion
move a certain way. Sometimes
the boy missed a meal for an
hour or two, but he stuck until
he made the lion do as he want
ed.
Later, four new cubs were
bought and added to the six at
the farm. The new ones were
regular spitfires. They still
have a queer sense Of humor,
which consists mainly of sudden
ly grabbing some other cub by
the hind quarters with their
teeth.
Manuel has learned the most
important requisite for all lion
tanners - concentration. "Chub-
by taught me never to look
away or bother with anything
else when I am working lions,
he says. "I'll answer if you call
me. but I won't look around"

Shotgun Blast
Halls Youthful
Gas BURGLARS

A blast OF leaden pellets from
a l2-gauge shot gun which
whistled past one youth and inn
bedded themselves in the hide
of another, has ended for the
time being at least thefts of
gasoline and equipment from
the William Romick boat livery,
6465 North River road, accord
ing to a report on file at the
Sheriffs Department.
Romick himself reported the
matter to sheriffs deputies at
l:54 a. M, Sunday, after he had
waited in hiding among his
boats from 8 p. m, Saturday
until an early hour Sunday for
the youths who had looted his
place on previous occasions.
Romick, armed with a H.
gauge Winchester repeater shot
gun observed a car containing
two persons pull up in his boat
yard and then leave with little
delay. After it left he found a
gasoline can lined to a boat tank
with a hose and the precious ra-
toned fluid pouring into the
can.
The boat livery man kept on
waiting.
A short time later two figures
came through the trees and ap-
preached the can. He fired one
blast from his gun in their gen.
eral direction. Thirteen pellets
entered one youths legs, arms,
body and neck. In the confu-
sion, Romick dropped his gun
and seized the two youths. He
held them until deputies arrived
and one was taken to the hos
pital for removal of the leaden
shots and the other was jailed
overnight.
The pair later confessed visit
ing Romick's place on previous
occasions and implicated third
youth, who also confessed.
After conferences with the
Prosecutors Office and the
boys parents, Romick declined
to prosecute.

The lion cubs grew rapidly,

BROWNSVILLE, Tex.-Every
kid who has ever seen a circus
has wished he could be a lion
tanner. Manuel King, just 10
years old, is one youngster who
made his wish come true.
Manuers father is proprietor
of an animal farm. On it he has
10 young lions. For two hours
every day, Manuel works with
the lions, training them to know
and obey the rules of the show
ring. His "cats" do tricks with
a precision that is the envy of
professional lion tanners. He has
taught them the barrel roll, runs
them on chutes, and makes them
