J Gang War Threatens Southern Illinois Bootlegger Is Slain In Gangland Fashion Fairfield, 111., Oct. 24—(UP)—A new gang war threatened to break the peace of southern Illinois today as result of the assassination of Carl Shelton, 59-year-old farmer, gunman and bootlegger who battled his rivals with tanks, armored cars and an airplane. Southern counties of the state have a long tradition of violence born in crime fights, mine wars and personal feuds. Authorities feared today that the tradition would be continued by cohorts of the slain gangsters who might seek their own vengeance on the men who riddled him with 15 or 20 slugs as he drove his jeep along a dusty country road yesterday. Police and sheriff's officers were investigating two possible causes for the slaying. 1. It was known that Shelton has been actively interested in Peoria county gambling establishments during recent years, despite his claim that he had retired from lawlessness and settled down as a prosperous farmer. Police thought he may have been killed by a rival ring of gamblers intent on eliminating him from the business. 2. Shelton has been involved recently in a squabble with neighbors over cattle which had strayed off his huge Wayne county farm and grazed on their property. , A nephew’, Earl Shelton, Jr., witnessed the shooting from a distance and was the target of several slugs himself. He told newsmen : “We know who did it.” It was reported that authorities were searching for Charlie Harris, one of the neighbors involved in the squabble with Shelton over the cattle. Officials believed there might be some connection between Shelton’s death and the shooting last Saturday night of Virgil Vaughn, a neighbor of Shelton. Vaughn was wounded, but not seriously. His assailant escaped. Police said that Vaughn was a cousin of Harris, who formerly managed an East St. Louis skating ring that Shelton owned. Authorities planned to fftieetion. school children at a rural school about a quarter mile from the scene of the slaying in hopes that the pupils had seen the gunmen’s car. Carl and his brother, Bernard, entered gambling in Peoria in the late thirties in a three-way split with a Peorian who is now engaged in a reputable business. In 1945, when Mayor Carl Triebel was elected and put the lid on resorts within the city, they moved out into the county and carried on from there. Their operations were curtailed. somewhat, however, by a I new sheriff who fought wide open gambling. It was reported that lately'their gambling activities had spread into adjoining Tazewell county and to points as far as “Swamp East Missouri and Arkansas. Carl Shelton habitually wore a .44 caliber frontier model pistol with pearl grips. That was the gun he yanked from his holster yesterday to return fire at his assailants as their slugs ripped into I him. Earl Shelton said he believed at

Railroad Appeals For More Coal Cars Washington, Oct. 24 —(UP ) — Despite pleas from the coal industry, the office of defense transportation said today it had no plans for assigning railroad caFs to carry coal to areas now short of supplies. An ODT spokesman said director l J. Monroe Johnson was opposed to diverting any open-top cars from their present assignment of carrying housing and roadbuilding materials. Johnson was said to feel that such a move would cause a “furor” in the construction industry. Coal industry representatives urged yesterday that the government provide more coal ears immediately. They said the industry lacks 36,000 , cars. I ■Judge Adams Hears r. Arguments In Case 5 Jjuige Earl B.
