PISTOLS AND RAZORS IN EVIDENCE HERE t). L. Thomas and his -son, Walter Thomas went out after a scalp Tues day night E. E. Lane, local barber, was the objective. The two former threatened to cause Lane bodily harm. The trouble occurred in the barber shop. Lane was not so easily taken into camp, however. He was in close proximity to his supply of rasors, and they are dangerous weapons, whether jn the hands of the- ebony hued, or wielded with' the dexterous hand of a trained barber. At any rate. La it* kept his would-be assailants from causing any serious trouble. A large crowd was in the thqp, and others quickly gathered around and serious trouble was averted.
