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
