SEATTLE, Nov. 3. (/P)— John C.!
Land, operating a one-man electric
interurban running between Seattle j
and Renton, was shot five times and 1
killed while grappling with a high
wayman who held him up while enter
ing Seattle early today. As the rob
ber fired the last bullet, Bert Flem
ming of Seattle, and a passenger on
the car, wrenched away the slayer’s
gun and struck him on the head with
the butt. The highwayman stagger
ed past Flemming and leaped off the
car and fled. Police began search 20
minutes later and found a cap on the
floor of the car which Flemming
knocked from the killer’s head. The j
cap had written in ink, inside the’
band “Ed Heildund, M. S. U., 25.” j
Sheriff Matt Starwich telegraphed;
the Montant State University asking
if such a man registered. He said he
was going on the theory that either
the former Montana student or a man
who had stole his cap was the killer.
Bloodhounds have picked up the trail.
Flemming said when the bandit shov
ed the gun into Land’s back the op
erator whirled around and wrestled
with the man who then shot Land. He
continued grappling but after the fifth
shot Land slumped to the floor.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3. (JP)—'The
American supply of Christmas rum

looks like moonshine, according to
coast guard and prohibition officials.
Large seizures of liquor recently have
made rum runners wary off the East
coast and even the price of moon
shine is going up in accordance with
the scarcity of so-called’ bonded goods.

are conceded to the Democrats with
out opposition and the other is un

tion was nearing its final stages to
day but facing new congressional bat
tles before it can become fully effec
