TWO BANDITS DYING Four Gunmen Kidnap Policeman Fol lawing Arrests for Speed Law Viola. tion. Canton, 0., May 5-Three men were dead and two bandits are dying early today, the re3ult of a gun 'battle in a woods five miles north of here late yesterday -between an armed posse and four gunmen following the kidnaip ping of a motorcycle policeman who had arrested the men for spftding. The gunmen, police say, had come here in a - stolen automobile to assist in the release of "Oklahoma Slim" John SteN s, a member of their gang, who is 6a the local .workhouse and who is said to be wanted in numer ous middle western cities on charges of bank robbery. The dead are: Ralph W. Hoffee, 'Canton contrac tor, member of the posse. Eddie Stevenson, Cleveland gunman. Unidentified gunman. Hlarry Varper and George Drainer the other two Gunmen were shot through the head. Physicians said they could not survive the day. Two others of the posse also were shot. When the gunmen were arrested by motorcycle Policeman John Wise they forced him to enter their au.omobile and drove to the woods where they bound, gagged and tied the oflqcer to a tree. J. C. Campbell, a telephone lineman, who witnessed the kidnapping, noti flied the police, then jumped into his automobile and followed the gunmen. Several times he stopped, climbed a telephone pole, cut in on a wire with his testing apparatus and notified the officers of the course of the fugitives. As the officers neared -the bandits, the latter opened fire and fled into the woods, where they were surrounded 'by the police and scores. of citizens. The battle ensued. When the fire from the gangsters stopped, the .posse found all four sprawled on the ground, the uniden tified man dead. Stevenson died later from his wounds. Police are investigating the theory that the quartet may be those who rob bed the Lima (Ohio) dime savings bank of $4,500 on Tuesday. One of the membe$rs of the gang told Sheriff %Milo Bachon that two of the gunmen had stolen an automobile in ISharon, Pa., last week and on Tues day had stolen the touring car in which they rode yesterday. FOUR SPECIALISTS TO HELP TRUCHEIRS In Grading, Packing and Standardiz-: Ing Crops Says Clemson College AnnouncemniUt. Clemson College, April 31.--Four ex perilenced specialists in ihe grading, packing and standardizing of truck ciops are to ibe appointed in the hear future by the extension .service to help the farmer.; in the new trucking sections in getting theh truck crops ready to put on the market in ac celtable condition. The extension service realizes that. farmers in certain parts of the state have gone Into trucking. this year as their first experience, that those farm ers ar'e not familiar with the require ments and methods of grading, pack ing and shipping truck crops; and that there is consequently much dan ger of great loss to such farmers un less guidlance and assistance are giv-. en at the right time. Director Long feels, therefore, that the great ea3t service to be rendlered those newv truck growvers lies in hepling them to prep~are in an acceptable manner for] market the produce wvhich they are now growving. Two of .the specialists, wvho will be engaged ;for the truck crop season, will .be located at 'Florence and the other two at Aiken conveniently to the needs of the sections where many farmers -are growilng new crops.' The men will be seured from the older truoking sections of South "Car'olina if ifossible. If not, a representative of thesextension seyvice svill go to Flori da. to secure men w'ho have had large practical extperience in work of this kind,, It~is hoped to have them on duty No Load in Load Pencil.
