Crawfordaville Tonight! • OOO Old rivals will clash this evening when the Tiger Cubs meet the Athenian net tossers on the Wabash college gym floor at Crawfordsville. The local B team will meet the Athenian reserves in a game starting at 7 p. m. while the varsity tilt is scheduler! to get underway at 8:15 o’clock.

Coach Charley Edmonson was rather doubtful about his starting lineup today. It is possible that Campbell will not see action due to illness. This may neccesitate shifting Hurst to the forward position and Knauer playing floor guard. Hammond will hold down the other forward berth with McAnally at center and Godfrey at back guard.
OOO
From all indications a number of Greencastle fans will accompany the Cubs on their invasion of the up-Monon city.
OOO
It will be a good game—the Athenians are keyed up for this second fray with Greencastle. We’re predicting that the Tiger Cubs will win hut not by any 39 to 12 score.

A half dozen of the “sharks” on the Kiwanis basketball team were terribly up-set last night when “The” sports w’riter of The Daily Banner slipped in through the back door of the gymnasium while they were practicing for i the Rotary game next Wednesday. In fact they were so up-set that some only worked between gasps, but such old timers as Bill Bishop and Chas. Dana Chapman did not even bat an eye. They just kept on trying to locaee the basket, with some little success Bill’s specs, either on or off made no difference in his shooting. However, other stars on the squad, including Don Moffett and Ralph Hufferd showed us what they could do in the way of long range firing. They figured they would have to shoot from a distance, because they w'ould be guarded so tightly they would not get close. On the other hand, they thought it would be easier to shoot long instead of wasting breath trying to get up closer, and they know
breath is precious.
Such old time masters of the art as Dock Rhea and Dock Krider found hitting the old hoop harder than many other things they have done for the past several years. However, they are ambitious and are trying and they have been told that perseverance
means success.
They were being coached by such additional sharks as Lieut. Dan Kent, Prof. Paul Fay, Jay Ector and his son. and V. P. Kenneth West Another visit to the gym by “The” sports reporter, and we will be able give further light on this “promising” team of “young” stars.

Train Victims Suspected Of Bank Holdups
TWO KILLED: THIRD INJURED WHEN AUTO CRASHES INTO FREIGHT
PARIS, III., Jan. 27.—Two men were killed and a third was critically injured early Thursday morning when an automobile clashed into the side of a Big Four freight train 13 miles north of here Following an investigation into the identity of th ■ victims, officials announced last night that the mm were suspected of com plicity in a number of bank robberies, ranging from a *1,400 bank holdup at, Frankfort. III., to a $15,000 hank messenger robbery at East St. Louis, 111 Ogle Booher, 35 years old, of Linton. Ind., alias Truman Wells, of Terre Haute, was killed instantly j when the auto struck the train with! such force that one of the freight cars was knocked from the rails. His j brother, Joe Booher, 28, also of Lin ton, died two hours later at a ho«pi tal here from his injuries. The third man. (Jordan Tinslev. :(0, Bloomington. III., lay last night in a precarious condition at the hospital.! suffering from two broken legs and fractured jaw. The two 'Boohers were identified late Thursday night by another brother. Earl, who came here from the Indiana town. The name of still another man entered the case through the identification card found in the automobile. This name was Melvin Trouse, Indianapolis. Officers were undecided: whether the car had been stolen fix m | this man or the name was an alias) of one of the victims. Also found in the wreckage of the automobile were two large revolvers, sawed off shotgun and a large caliber rifle. In addition officers found secreted in Tinsley’s clothing a little more than $1,000 in $50 bills It was this money that led officers to suspect the men of complicity with recent Illinois bank robberies. The theory was scoffed at by Mrs. Tinsley, who arrived here late Thursday and told Sheriff O. D. Sizemore of Edgar county that her husband | had left their home in 'Bloomington at 3 o’clock in the morning, just a few hours befrre the crash. She also told the officers that her husband was a mm runner, and that he carried large sums of money in connection with his business. However, Sheriff Sizemore notified officials of many Illinois towns and last night had received word that of ficers from at least two places were coming to view the men. From Frankfort, III., it was reported the

HISTORIC VIRGINIA BIBLE OWNED BY PORTLAND NURSE POTLAND. Ore., (UP)—A wormeaten Bible, relic of the days when witnesses were required to "kiss the book.” is owned by Miss Inez M. James. Portland nurse. The Bible was used in Powhatan County, Virginia, courthouse It was printed in Edinburgh in 1787, and was the property of Samuel Marshall, in 1802. David James, a resident of Oregon City, Ore., before his death, was required as a witness in Virginia. He refused to kiss the worm-eaten book and instead, donated some money for a new Bible The other was sent to Mm by mail a few days later.

CATTLE THEFTS KEPT HIM BUSY FOR FIFTY YEARS EAST ST. LOUIS, III., (UP)— Frank L. Campbell never stole a cowin his life, yet cattle "rustling” gave him a job he has held for 56 years. He is brand inspector for the Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers’ Association at the National stockyards here It is his job to check the brand with the name of the shipper and pick out any cattle that do not hear the brand of the shipper. Campbell estimates he can recognize at sight more than 5,000 cattle brands, tell the name of the owrner, and give the location of the ranch. Campbell was raised in the great southwest in the days when cattle “rustling” was to the open spaces what gang rackets are to the big
cities of today.
The racket was oj>erated by organized hands, headed by powerful robber chiefs. The penalty for cattle stealing was hanging to the nearest tree by his captors without trial. It was with reluctance that Campbell finally consented to tell some of the early experiences of that vast)

cattle empire of the old southwest. “I | more reckon history was made in those days that will never he repeated,” he
observed.
“The days of stealing large herds are gone,” he said. “Back 50 or more years ago as nlhny as 100,000 head were stolen in a year. In 1877 a group of Texas ranchers formed a sort of “Secret Six,” called the Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers’ Association, to run the thieves out of the
southwest.
WASHINGTON, (UP) Observers of the supreme court see in recent decisions a growing liberalism in interpretations of the national prohibition laws. Whether this liberalism actually exists, starts a debate that probably will remain undicided forever. Certainly us yet the court has not reversed itself in any prohibition ruling. not even in the much criticised decision in the famous wiretapping
cases.
Those who claim to note a growing liberalism attribute it to one of two things. Frist, that the court is responding to a glowing public sentiment in favor of modification of bone dry prohibition. Second, that the liberal school of thought, sponsored by former Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, has extended to the point where it includes liberalism toward
| prohibition.
The latter assumption is accepted

One of these involved William Gran, w < se home near Cincinnati, O., was searched by agents without a warrant because they smelled the fumes of mash proceeding from it. The search revealed a well established alcohol distilling plant. There appeared to he a commercial violation of the law. but the court upheld tlie search and seizure laws and set his conviction aside because it was a dwelling and could not be earchel without evidence of an ac-
tual sale of liquor.
In the case of William Sgro. of Itouckville, N. Y., the court held that a search warrant, which hud been issued more than ten days before it was executed, was invalid. A United States commissioner had sought to! bring a warranit to search Sgro's I
