; The wounded: Bud Ballew, former
’deputy to Buck Garrett, suspended
Sheriff of Carter County, in the re-

Deputy Sheriff Cowles, according
■ to witnesses, broke into the County
^Attorney’s office when he heard
[sounds of a scuffle. The shooting
[started when he kicked in the door.
Ballew, who was in the room, at-
tempted to intercede, it was said.
(About fifteen shots were fired, but it
[was not known how* many persons
'participated in the pistol battle.
' The board of County Commission-
ers had met Monday to name a suc-
cessor to former Sheriff Garrett, who
lost before a jury last Friday, but ac-
tion was deferred because of techni-
calities growing out of the Appeal
filed by Garrett.
London, who is„ commander of the
i local post, American Legion, has
i ibeen acting Sheriff since the suspen-
sion of Garrett about two weeks ago.
| j Elmer E. Fulton, Assistant Attor-
j !ney General, said the permanent ap- j
pointment of a Sheriff would not be j
; taken until the courts had made final
disposition of the ouster case against
• (Garrett. He said an appeal filed by
attorneys for Garrett would have to
be passed on by the court.
Representatives from every section
of the county were present to take
.part in the laying of their claims be-
fore the board. Hundreds of women
were in the assemblage.
A tense quietness prevailed during
the meeting which was transferred
jinto a volume of shrieks by women
when the rat-ta-tat of revolver fire
.broke through the air at the start of

and Homer Turk, 13 years old, were
(killed, two negroes, Benny Young
■and L. C. (Cooper) Johpson have
'been arrested here. Both negroes
[have made statements. Late Monday
[Sheriff Bob Buchanan took charge of
lthe two negroes at Elm Mott, a few
miles north of Waco, and took them
,out of the county in an automobile.
When the officers arrested the ne-
j groes he noticed blood spots on
Young’s clothing. They were taken
fhy the Constable to his office in the
[courthouse and separated, and they
[made statements to the officers.
i The statements were taken by As-
sistant County Attorney H. O. Dab-
jney. County Attorney Frank B.
Tirey refused to make the statements
public. •
Constable Stegall, with one of his
deputies, Phil Hobbs, and George

[the negroes to the place where they
said they bad been working. A single-
bladed ax, stained with blood, with
which the negroes had been chopping

Dallas. — Fire of unknown origin
late Sunday night and Monday morn-
ing caused damage estimated at about
$100,000 in the building occupied by
the Hesse Envelope Company of Tex-
as and the Jewel Tea and Coffee
Company.
The fire was discovered at about
11:00 p. m. Sunday and was not
tapped out until a few minutes be-
fore 2 o’clock Monday morning. It
was certain at that hour that prac-
tically the entire stock in the build-
ing had suffered heavily. It is be-
lieved the fire had been smoldering
in the large paper stock of the Hesse
Company for nearly five hours before
it was discovered.
The building extends an entire
block, facing on both Caruth and
McKinney, one block east of North
Lamar street.
The Jewel Tea and Coffee Com-
pany occupies portions of both the
first and second floors. The building
is 100x175 feet in dimensions and is
of brick construction.
F. G. Love, vice president of the
Hesse Company, -said at midnight
that the company’s stock was worth
between $90,000 and $100,000.
The blaze was a most difficult one
to fight. At 7 o’clock Sunday even-
ing a watchman called Mr. Love and
told him there was a small light in
the building and asked if one should
he there. Mr. Love thought an elec-
tric light had been left burning and
instructed the watchman to watch
it closely. A few minutes later, how-
ever, the light was out. It is now
believed the fire was smoldering at
that time. It was not until 11:40 p.
m., nearly five hours later that
smoke was seen coming from the
building and the alarm was turned
in.

LANDIS’ RESIGNATION
REACHES THE PRESIDENT
. * -
Washington.—The resignation of
Federal Judge Landis, announced
Saturday in Chicago, was received
Monday at the White House.
Former Representative Welty of
Ohio, who filed impeaenment proceed-
ings against Judge Landis in the
House last year because of his ser-
vices as baseball arbitrator, has
made public a letter to President
Harding asking that the Judge’s re-
signation be not accepted.
“The Sixty-Sixth Congress on Feb.
14, 1921,” said the letter, “ordered
the Committee on the Judiciary to
investigate and report, but for lack
of time they asked that the Sixty-
Seventh Congress make an investiga-
tion,
“If you should accept the resigna-
tion of Judge Landis you will take
away the impreachment jurisdiction
from Congress. The Senate held in
the Blount and Belknap cases that
persons can not be impeached after
they cease to be civil officers of tbe
United States.’ ”

their own agents, the rangers and
the military would be withdrawn
Unless this guarantee is given by

clared that all half way measures
would be abandoned and complete
martial law set up in the whole
county, including the courthouse.
