Greenwood is Again Scene of Trouble Saturday Differences in Community Lead to Quarrel and Complaint Filed Against Marshal Sheriff Bert Reed and Deputy Sher iff Rex Young spent the greater part of Saturday night and early Sunday morning at Greenwood where they were called over another disturbance that has grown out of an apparent community division, this time a com plaint having been lodged against George Trunkenboltz, town mar shal. It is claimed that Marshal Trun kenboltz and a man named Rouse had some words that grew into in? tensity and as the result of which a complaint was sworn out by Rouse against Mr. Trunkenboltz before the Greenwood justice court and as as the marshal, the only officer of the law could not serve the papers, the sheriff was calif d to the scene to do the serving. With the arrival of the sheriff the situation was quieted down a great deal, the complaint was served and Mr. Trunkenboltz at once arraigned before Justice Newkirk and entered a plea of not guilty, furnishing a bond of $200 for his appearance and was released to go on with his duties until the case is heard.

I STOCK MARKET HARD HIT New York The stock market, took one on the chin Thursday, went down for a brief count and then staged a rally that eliminated the loss. How ever, profit taking and fresh profes sional selling in the final dealings, based apparently on the prospects of favorable tariff action by the senate Friday reduced the recovery and most of the active issues closed a dollar or two lower. Liquidation during the forenoon sent prices spinning downward and at the bottom declines of $2 to $14 were rather numerous. A rally fol lowed closely on the announcement that the German loan had been over subscribed and also on the reduction of call money to 2 1-2 per cent for the first time since March 20. Be fore the liquidation had ben absorb ed 162 stocks were sent into new low grounds for the year. Observers were not inclined to regard this figure as unduly alarming, however, for it was pointed out that the entire market is not far from its 1930 bottom and that new lews are easily attained on further declines.
