Parish received an invitation to attend the Quiz Congress about four or five days ago. He failed to com munieate with any officer of the congress until late yesterday after noon, after he had sent the invita- tion to his campaign managers. He then wrote « letter of regret. Ole Hanson appeared at the Quis Congress and demanded an inte: ption of the meeting's program so that he might offer an explanation, Chairman Pigott asked that he wait until the candidates being quizzed got through. Hanson then explained that Parish never authorized any- one to say that he would be present t the meeting.

Investigation this afternoon showed that Rami was bayoncted as he ran. ‘The trouble started when eight small boys saw eight militia- men, and one of them said jesting ly: | “There's some soldiers. Let's have some fun with them.” Then, vye-witnesses declare, the soldiers charged the boys. Rami stumbled, and as he fell a six-foot militiaman stuck his bayonet in the boy's back, penetrating the bung. “To Look for Trouble.” The temper of the soldiers was shown here this afternoon, when Col.

Although martial law has not yet | been officially declared, all streets |are kept clear. Col.
