FOUR NABBED IN SPEEDWAY BUY 6ANB WARFARE Quartet Is Questioned on Slaying of Alleged Legger Week Ago. Four men are prisoners today following a two-day gang fight in Speedway City, believed by authorities to have some connection with the slaying a week ago of Elijah Carpenter, Negro, alleged bootlegger, and the serious wounding of James Owens. Those held are Ernest Voight, and his brother, Herman, both of Tenth street and High School road, and Darrell and Byron Garrigus, 4255 South State avenue. A fifth man, Bud Wheeler, escaped in an automobile after two shots were fired at him by Bennie Whitelcy, town marshal of Speedway City. Two shotguns and a piece of gas pipe said to belong to the prisoners were seized by authorities. Rum War Hinted Trouble started in Speedway City Wednesday night, according to the Garrigus brothers, when Wheeler was beaten, supposedly the result of a quarrel over liquor traffic which followed the slaying of Carpenter. Darrell Garrigus, claiming to be a milk wagon driver, said he and his brother went to Speedway City Thursday to demand an explanation from the 'Voight brothers, whom they suspected of attacking Wheeler, who accompanied them on the trip in a large automobile owned by Darrell. Ernest Voight, following his arrest late Thursday afternoon, said he encountered the Garrigus brothers and Wheeler in front of a poolroom and was attacked. He said the other men had shotguns and a piece of pipe and that he wrested the latter from Darrel Garrigus and struck him. He said his brother, Herman, did not reach the scene until after the fight had ended. Familiar With Slaying Whiteley took a hand as hostilities waned and shot at Wheeler, who ran through a restaurant to an automobile in which he ffed. Deputy sheriffs say that one of the Garrigus brothers asked about the condition of Owens and apparently was familiar with details of the slaying of Carpenter. Ernest Voight is held on charges of assault and battery and vagrancy, under bond of $5,000, and the Garrigus brothers, charged with carrying weapons and with vagrancy, are under SI,OOO bond each. Bond of Herman Voight, charged with vagrancy, is SI,OOO.

LONELIEST COUPLE IS FOUND IN SCOTLAND Shepherd and Wife Cut Off From World by Impassable Bog. NEWTON STEWART, Scotland, March 18.—The world’s loneliest couple, a shepherd and his wife, live in a desolate stone hut a few miles from here. Their primitive habitation is located on the hills of Galloway and cut off from the world by impassable moss bogs. The inhabitants of Bargrennan, the nearest village, know the couple still are alive only by the weekly visits of a weatherscarred pony, which ambles into the village and halts at the door of the general store. The storekeeper loads up the primitive pannier on its back and sends it off to the solitary cottage on the hillside with the week’s provisions. The pony is the only living thing that can pick its way through the deadly bogs.

BRITAIN FEARS LOSS OF PLACE AS AIR POWER Empire Now Fifth in Rank and May Be Passed by Yugoslavia. By United Press LONDON, March 18.—British aeronautical authorities are much concerned over Great Britain’s increasingly inferior position as an air power, as revealed by armaments statistics, which most of the nations have submitted to the League of Nations for consideration. A study of these statistics shows that Great Britain now is fifth in numerical air strength and is rapidly being overhauled, even by Yugo Slavia. It is believed, however, that Great Britain’s numerical inferiority is considerably offset by the exceptionally high standard of her air force personnel and the superiority of her types of pursuit planes to those of most of the other nations. Statistics submitted to the league by the various nations show their relative strength in first-line aircraft and their total strength with all reserves. .
