TWO SLAIN IN FEUD RENEWAL] TROOPS CALLED Foes, Hidden in Kentucky Courthouse, Shoot Down Family Enemies. tty United Press • MANCHESTER. Ky., Sept. 19. Twenty-five Kentucky national guardsmen patrolled streets here today as authorities continued their investigation into the slaying of two men. one of them a commonwealth attorney, and the wounding of two others in an old Clay county feud. The dead are: Frank H. Baker, 39, commonwealth attorney, London, Ky., and John Brock, 23, said to be a resident of Cincinnati. The wounded are: Frank Young, 40. shot in the left hip, and Wiley Baker, uncle of Frank Baker, wounded in the legs. The alleged slayers, who fired from ambush in the courthouse and then, after having barricaded themselves there for hours, escaped before troops arrived. Frank Baker had gone to Manchester from London and stopped at Wiley Baker's home, William C. Lewis, circuit judge, who requested the national guard troops of Governor Ruby Laffoon, said. When the four men walked out of the house, they were shot down by a barrage of rifle and machine gun fire, apparently directed from the courthouse across the street. Authorities attribute the slaying to a feud said to have been started before the Civil war. The outbreak climaxed a series of recent killings in Clay county which have been atrtibuted to the feud. Underlying cause of the feud never has been determined, but it is known here as the Baker-How-ard-White-Bailey-Phillipot feud.

BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR FARMER IS VISIONED Grain Dealers Meet in Annual Parley at French Lick. By United I'rcss FRENCH LICK, Ind., Sept. 19. A brighter future for agriculture was seen at the National Grain Dealers Association convention here today, despite “three years of farm board wreckage.'' , Both Peter B. Carey, president of the Chicago Board of Trade, and Hugh A. Butler, president of the association, envisioned improved outlooks, but both assailed the farm board and cautioned taxpayers against “equally vicious schemes.” "There still are obstacles to clear up after three years of farm board wreckage,” Carey said. "Markets must be unchained, farmers’ grain placed into consumptive channels, foreign markets won back and agriculture prosperity restored. If we are to have a farm board of its prototype, we will in time have a fax-m peasantry, politically controlled.” Chairman John C. Stone of the farm board was characterized by Carey as a "trouble maker.” "Any fair-minded taxpayer would feel that Stone should be removed from office and publicly reprimanded for his misconduct as an agitator and as aix exploiter of agriculture,” Carey said.

Sheaffer, Charles (Chuck) Garringer, professional at the Speedway golf course, today faces grand jury action on a charge of shooting with intent to kill, in connection with the wounding of 16-year-old Edward Olinsky, 735 Concord street, as cli-
max of a “caddy war” at the course. No bond was fixed by Sheaffer, who released Garringer on his own recognizance. Olinsky was shot Aug. 16 after Garringer carried out threats to “sting” members of a gang of boys who had been stealing golf balls from players. The boy was taken to city hos-
pital suffering from numerous

pellet wounds in his back, arms and legs. “I warned them, ordered them off the course, and finally used the shotgun,” Garringer told police who investigated the shooting. Numerous reports had been made to the sheriff’s office regarding the activities of the boys, Garringer said. The boys congregated at the sixteenth and seventeenth holes, where the course crosses a creek, and would seize golf balls after they had been driven from tees. The shooting of the Olinsky boy was not the first time Garringer had fired at boys on the course, police said Garringer told them, although other shots had been directed into the air. The entire town of Burnhaven, Scotland, with thirty-three buildings and the land on which it stands, is for sale for only $3,000.
