Striking railroad employees have been flogged at Leslie and other points along the Missouri & North Kansas railroad following outskirts here in which E. C. Gregor was lynched and 20 persons were beaten and deported. The entire community was armed ready to force decrees of the "citizen's committee" and "citizens' court," set up by the mob of business men and farmers who massed here Monday to prevent paralysis of train service on the railroad. Shofguns were boldly carried thru the streets and revolvers slung from leather holsters hung at citizens sides. Harrison was quiet on the surface today as the "citizens committee" continued rounding up strikers and questioning them regarding burned bridges and other alleged acts of sabotage. Some were flogged after the quiz and others were ordered to leave. Wild rumors were heard on all sides. One was that armed men were coining over the hills from Missouri to oust the rulers here. The state legislature has ordered a probe of the lynching of Gregor and floggingings of strikers. The investigation was expected to get under way tomorrow. A grand jury investigation made of the activities of the mob returned indictments. DAYS IN JAIL FOR WIFE BEATING F. H.

LEGION OPPOSED TO "FAKE" VETERANS H. C. Samson, Jack Hebson, Walter Altnow and Arthur A.

Jan. 18.—Minnie Moore Wilson of Klissimmee, Fla., says in her book on "The Seminoles" that their language is simplicity itself. She is authority that these Indians use short, significant words. Ben J. Selkirk, auctioneer, who studied the Seminole language to preside at an auction to be given in the Seminole tongue, takes issue with her, claiming that the simple word "wrist" is longer than the famous trail to the lakes of Killarney. Here is his translation: Etowood-in-tee-pix-teo-e-toke-kee-tay-gaw. Comes Indian Interpreter Frank Wall to the rescue of the author and declares she is right. He brought the matter to a head or "e-caw," to use Seminole, declaring that among the longest terms of the language are those designating figures. HER husband received scratches. SEIZE TWO GERMAN PORTS PARIS, Jan. 18.—There were rapid fire developments today in the Franco-German entanglement. France seized two German ports—the harbors of Ruhrort and Duisburg. France actually seized German coal which already has been mined and the work of shipping it to Paris is under way. Twenty-one owners of German coal mines have been ordered to appear for court-martial before French military tribunals. Russian Soviet armies were put on the move today and a "warlike situation" was reported in dispatches which said the Bolshevik leaders had decided that Russia would act with Germany in the event of an open clash with France. The Polish forces are ready to resist any Russian invasion, but the Soviet troops have thrown pontoon bridges across the Dwina river and an attack on Braslav, now held by the Poles, seems imminent. A blow at Poland would be a blow at France in the present crisis. Orders have been issued by the soviet government for the mobilization of five-year conscripts to strengthen the Russian armies for a campaign in Germany, should that country appeal for aid in resisting the French advance, it was reported here from sources considered reliable. Several Russian army corps are reported grouped at the Polish frontier without any apparent reason for the concentration. As a precaution the Poles are massing every available soldier they can muster from other sectors opposite the Russians. A large element of Germans nurse the wish that help will come from Soviet Russia in the present crisis. This desire is said to be fostered by a feeling of desperation and the ties of friendship which have grown between the two nations during recent years. Demands for a stronger occupational force in the Rhur have been made by Marshal Foch on Premier Poincaré. If the French divisions are strengthened it is believed here that more territory will be seized. A statement was made from official sources which indicates that the French armies will not be sent on to Berlin. SCOUT DRIVE WILL START WED. Announcement was made today at Orange-co Boy Scout Headquarters that the financial campaign for Scout work in Orange-co for 1923 will start Wednesday morning following a big banquet at Saint Ann's Inn; Tuesday evening.
