By International Area Swire. Herrin, 111., Aug. 30.—Blood flowed again today in "Bloody Williamson county," when six men were killed and at least three others wounded In a fresh flare-up of the Ku Klux Klan "war" that ha» stirred the county repeatedly in the last two years. • Four klansman. one deputy sheriff, and a bystander lost their lives, a court bailiff is dying and at least two other men were wounded. The dead: Deputy Sheriff Bud Allison. Green Dunning. Chester Reid. Dewey X’ewbolt. Charles Willard. z Otto Roland.

Sheriff George Galllgan, first re ported as wounded, was found unin jured at the hospital, at the bedside of Chemeister. Gailigan said he was waiting for troops to arrive. Sheriff Tells Story.

But I am prepared for them. They’ll wish they had not come." An ominous hush hung over the town of bloody history tonight, as It prepared again for the march of soldiers' feet and the tense peace of martial law. The few men who were seen on the streets carried guns openly, or in bulging pockets. Reports of 13 other men wounded In the fighting today were not con firmed. Today 's outbreak is th# latest of a series that have marked the long record of the county and made it known throughout the state and country as "Bloody Williamson.” In 1SS1 the m.ners and mine own ers had trouble. The miners objected to Importation of foreigners to man the mines. Ill feeling brewed Into a hatred that flared up suddenly into a bloody clash. In w hich 33 men were shot to death, their bodies mutilated and then piled along one of th# main highways leading from th# town of Herrin to the mine fields. Troops Re-tore Order. Then, last winter Ku Klux Klan members and others declared they were going to clean up the county of bootlegger* and moonshine makers. A clash followed. Several jwsons were shot down In the s’.reets. Troops went to the seen* before quiet w.is restored. Again last February there was a sudden reopening of the winter af fray. A constable was shot to death, several persons were wounded.
