Taylor, although he charged that his wife used one of Grange's knees instead of an adjacent chair, rumpled the hair, patted the cheeks and kissed the lips of the line-busting foot ball player, made it plain that he did not blame “Red.” Said the husband: “I am extremely sorry that this occurred. ‘Red’ is too much of a gentleman to do anything wrong, and he was named only to show hew my wife acted.” In her husband's estimate of Grange, Mrs. Taylor concurred, ac- cording to the cross-complaint. “‘Red’ is a wonderful boy,” she is quoted as having said. 1 Abe Martin Says: A real gentleman is at a big disad- vantage these days.

Ford Bidding on Cape Cod-Windmill To Add to His New England Antiques By the Associated Press. JARMOUTH, Mass., July 23.— Henry Ford has made a bid for a windmill which was catching the Cape Cod breezes when the embattled farm- ers of Concord were making history. There are other would-be purchasers and it is not yet certain whether Mr. Ford will be able to add the mill to his collection of New England an- tiques. Known as the Farris mill, the pic- turesque structure was built on the north side of the cape in the eighteenth century. When it was moved in 1782 to Indian Town, later known &s Friends’ Village, in South Yarmouth, it was hauled by 40 yoke of oxen. Men came from miles around to help and the occasion was made a festival. ‘A barrel of rum,” says an account by an eye-witness, “stood on end with the head knocked out, the contents free for all, with the result that there was a noisy drunken crowd in the vicinity that night composed of both Indians and white men.” Daniel Wing of Hingham, who as a boy 60 years ago helped to operate the mill, recalls how the boys of the neighborhood risked life and limb by clambering over its great arms. “Among its victims,” he sald, “can be counted two creatures slain, a horse and a cow, & man maimed for life and at least one boy wounded while engaged in the favorite pastime of running between the revolving arms.” The establishment was operated as a grist mill and the farmers brought their grain to be ground into meal. The wings had ladder-like slats, with canvas which could be drawn over them when the breeze was light and rolled back in a heavy wind. Most of the other old mills on the cape have vanished, although many of the millstones have been preserved. PICTURE STAR IS SUED TO COLLECT JUDGMENT Mrs. E. V. V.

FOILS VIRGINIA POSSE WITH MACHINE GUNS ‘| Mountaineer Escapes Barricade Be- hind Tree After Holding Fifty at Bay. —_— By the Associated Press. - MASSIES MILL, Va., July 28— Using two machine guns of the .45- callber riot type, with a killing range of a thousand yards, Gilbert Tyree, 22, mountaineer, alleged slayer, auto- mobile thief and jail breaker, held 50 men at bay yesterday when they came upon him barricaded behind a locust tree 3 miles above here iIn the mountains. ‘The posse, after attempting to ar- rest Tyree by a demand of “hands up” and recelving a volley from the machine gun which made them all scramble for cover, made for an adavantageous position, whence they could attack the man with a degree of safety for themselves. Soon after this Rucker Brent,, 20, of Massies Mill, came upon the man higher up the mountain and shot at him three times with a shotgun be- fore the machine gun was unleashed again, spattering dirt above the head of Brent, who immediately dropped into a deep ditch. Tyree then disappeared. No one was injured in any of the fighting, it is thought, although Brent said he hit Tyree with the shot from his gun. Following the two unsuccessful at- tempts to capture Tyree the posse dropped back to Massies Mill, leav- ing a guard to see that he did not cross the mountain, and called for bloodhounds. = After a wait of several hours the dogs of A. E. Stump of Lynchburg arrived and a search was Instituted by a heavily armed posse which has been unable to find the man. To Attend Canada Convention. LANDOVER, Md., July 23.—W. C.
