The assembly call came from T. D.

town, shortly after the merchant dele-

with members of the same grand jury
which Saturday ordered peace officers
to have the machines removed.
Losses suffered by the exodus of

MERCHANTS STORM
COURTHOUSE ASKING
COIN GAME RETURN
A federal agent who had been plant-
ed in the store came up behind Dal-
hoverr pushed the machine gun into
the small of his back, identified him-
self and demanded to know where
Dalhover’s pals were.
Right behind you, snapped Dal-
hover.
As Hurd related it afterward:
“Then a flock of G-men piled into
the store, shooting a rain of bullets,
and the shooting continued mto the
street.
To persons on the street it sound-
ed “like a box of shells was explod-
ing in the store.” Everyone was dash-
ing around, police were crying: “Get
back! There’s danger!
It was over in less than five
utes. The firing ceased
with
boastful Brady and Shaffer -dead in
the street, and Dalhover m manacles
Bullets through the chest got. Bjrady
Shaffer’s head and chest were pierc-
ed in a dozen places.
The condition of Agent Walsh, ta-
ken at once to a hospital, was said
to be not critical. The wounding of
Walsh marked the first G-man cas-
ualty in recent months, during which
more than 2,000 arrests have been
made without injury to an officer.
The federal coup, another in a long
series that has wiped out of circula-
tion such men as Dillinger, Baby Face
Nelson, Alvin Karpis, Harry Brunette
and many more, leaves only two well
organized gangs still at large, Wash-
ington authorities said: the Gant and
Hunt gang, and the “Bird Brothers,’’
Frank and Charles.
Crimes for which Brady and his
gang were hunted included:
The murder of Richard Rivers, an
Indianapolis police sergeant.
The ambush killing of Paul Minne-
man, an Indiana state -policeman.
The cold-blooded slaying of Edward
Lindsay, a Piqua, Ohio, grocery clerk.
A bank robbery at Greenville, Ohio.
Jewelry store. robberies at Dayton,
Lima and Greenville, Ohio; and nu-
merous other holdups and robberies in
Indiana and Ohio.
Left on the “uncompleted business
pad of the G-men after today s events
are only the Gant-Hunt and Bird
gangs. Hugh Gant and Alva Dewey
Hunt, brothers-in-law, have prices of
11,000 each on their heads for their
capture dead or alive, A bank rob-
bery indictment is against them at
Gainesville. Fla.
Charles and Uranic fiiriT brothers,
and James Widmer, are the nucleus
of the Bird gang. The three men es-
caped from jail in Cleveland Sept.
Eevry one needs a clothes closet,
and every one can have a clothes
closet for little expense if they will
only try," said Miss Bowmen, in her
talk on clothes storage at the club
meeting in the home of Mrs. Mar-
shall Newton, Monday afternoon.

good closet can be built of card board.
