Enid, 8ept. 5 (A*)—Abandoning
one car and stealing three others
as they fled toward the Kansas
border, three men and a woman,
who engaged In a gun battle here
at noon Monday with officers,
apparently had made their escape
Monday night. They were last,
reported near Alva.
John Burns, police chief, and
Elmer Hutchinson deputy sheriff
were fired on by the quartet with
a machine gun.
Near Drummond their car stalled
in the mud. They fled on foot
and stole a car from Perry Nance,
a farmer. Later his car was
abandoned near Meno where they
stole a car from a Tulsa sales-
man.
Farmer's Car Is Stolen
Nine miles north of Alva this car
went into a ditch. A farmer who
sought to help them was held up.
and his roadster became trans-
portation for the quartet. The
youth, named Nantz. said they
loaded guns and ammunition into
his roadster and fled toward the
Kansas border 14 miles away.
Officers were still on the chase
Monday night. No description of
the four wus available, other than
Nantz told officers the woman
was wounded in the leg.
A letter, addressed to Harvey
g ley was found in the lust, au-
tomobile abandoned and gave rise
to speculation it was written by
Charles Floyd, who Bailey was
reported to have described as
“small fry" In banditry.
Letter Assails Itailey
The letter, which was unsigned
read:
Harvey Bailey:
••you've talked yourself Into the
Joint Now you're trying to get
heavy by talking about Pretty Boy
and It may be if you talk fast
enough, you'll miss the chair. I
realize I’m not too lough As far
as kidnaps are concerned, It has
always been mysterious to me why
they didn't design tough guys like
you to catch me. Due to the
colorful display of machine 1 inl-
and for your transportation, you
have allowed yourself to Imagine
people think you are lough but
it is no object for the law to
steal a harmless man.
"I don't carry guns around with
me to Impress any one. I carry
them as n dire necessity. When
the lime comes. I am always
positive of my capability to use
them. I am not boasting I am
too tough to die. I know some
day I am going to lose but when
that time comes. I will not throw
up my hands and rely on brains
to get me out.
“I may la1 a 'smalltime htster'
and you the brntns of money, a
(200.000 plot, still I'm outside en-
joying tiie few dollars I make,
while you probably are wracking
your enormous brain trying to
beat the chair”

DUCHESS
IN' TIIK grand old tlays of the grand dukes, Her Ladyship held
h "little court" for tradespeople every morning in her own
apartments.
It was usually while her hair was ln*ing powdered. In would
troop lace-makers and portrait-painters, a poet with a roll of
verses anti a peasant who might offer anything from a yellow
puppy to a pot of honey. All the wares of the realm were
spread before the duchess for her discriminating purchase, and
without her putting the tm' of her shoo outside the door.
Have you ever thought how much like her you are?
Every day, as you linger over your newspaper, the wares
of the world assemble before you In the advertisements. Excit-
ing new fashions from your favorite small shop. Household
essentials from the great department stores. Kverything for
the menu ... the motor car . . . the mode in make-up, offered
to you for your choosing and deciding.
And many of these purchases you’ll negotiate with more
satisfaction than the duchess enthroned nt her dressing-table.
For, where the duchess had to judge of <|iiali(y for herself, you
have the word of the merchant and the word of the manufac-
turer for integrity.
