Iads an dthe Winfield Troop was breezing along merrily in the first. quarter with the local lads, in a. safe lead with three counters from the court by Floyd Markum. Early in the second quarter, in pivoting sharply Markum collided with another player and his color bone broken in two places. He was imue-diately dispatched to the Hospital where the broken bones were set.

Hardly had Markum been tak en from tne iioor wnen oiuce Frankum slipped and suffered a badly sprained ankle. With the star forward and one Of the trusty guards out of the team faltered and lost the game, after a game fight, 10 to 24. Although the two injuries came in the same game and in the same quarter there was no rough tactics or horse play, according to those who saw the game. Both of them were unavoidable accidents and it was by the merest coi ncident that both of them occur- ed in the same game. After, the first victory the in- vadors took on the second team from troope 2 of the local scouts.

The locals evidently scared out by the early casualities of the evening for they failed to put; up much of a scrap and the southern city won it by the top heavy score of 23 to 5. Oil and Gas Notes.

The paiisri priest, stepped in, and presented "the case for the landlord against the claims of several young farmers who wanted a parcel of ground appraised and alloted to them at assessed valuation. It developed that the landholder leased the land undfcr a provision that if the lands were parcelled entire lease was forfeited. The claimants lost their case. The farmers angered at the decision refused accept the court's judgement. They broke down fences on the dls puted land, drove off the holder's cattle and on -their own The court sent a notice to Dail Eireann and an order was sent to the local Irish Republican Army to protect the landlord.

The seizors replied ytaking their rifles to the land and sleeping on it at night, pie- pared for a attack. Apair of them were surprised and kidnapped by the Republicans. They were not harmed, but were told the land must be restored, the fences rebuilt and damages paid. Upon their release they with the others and decided to comply. They did.

For a ime last summer, Dail Eireami's courts particularly the civil courts, met openly or nearly openly. Now the courts met in isolated houses or barns, or in the heart of a city. A judge, just returned from a tour of sittings which included the martal law area was going to a town to hold court, but missed the train. When he arrived hours late, he found the military in possession of the courthouse. They had raded it an hour before.

McCANN United Press Staff Correspondent Jan30-kDespite, the government's recent threat to "sweep the Sinn Fein courts from tne face ot the earth," the courts, both civil and land, are carrying on daily hunted from house to house and town to town," sometimes escaping daily by an appar ent miracle and sometimes meeting boldly with military and auxiliaries passing the windows of the "court house" usually a private dwelling. From local unauthorized Sinu Fein courts, amounting to Soviets the ourt system has developed until it is a real institution, with real judges appointed by Dail Eir-eann (rish Parliament) and with the backing of the risji Republic an army in thefvent that litigants do notvwant to abide by a decision.

To one unversed in the landlord system the seizure of untenanted or untitled1 lands is an apparently revolutionary It isan idea, however, backed by British laws of thirty-odd years standing. The courts ar appointed by the "government, with authority it they deein it justified to farmer, claimants sufficient land to maintain themselves, awarding an assessed value to the landholder if a compromise cannot be reached. But the courts according to Sinn Fein, move slow ly-over. Consequently every year there was a land agitatiaivresult ing in impoverished farmers breaking fences of big estatesT driving off the owners' cattle and grazing their own on the land. Sinn Feiners in some badly congested areas own land courts.

held trials and enforced their decisions when necessary by the authority of the local branch of the Sinn Fein The system, however was unauthorized by the Dail Eireann and was opposed largely on the ground that laud agitation retard-' ed the Republican The supporters of a national system of land courts directly lender 'the control of the Republican government eventually won.
