IN BATTLE WITH
FIVE OPPONENTS
With the odds five to one against
him, State Highway Patrolman Ben-
jamin Frankliin got his men.
While ‘on regular patrol near
Schultzville, Wyoming county, on Sep-
tember 4, Franklin signalled the driv-
er of a car operated in an alleged]
reckless manner to stop. His signal
was not obeyed. Franklin gave chase
on his motorcycle. In its wild dash
the car forced one car into a ditch
and another into a guard rail.
Franklin overtook the car at Wino-
la Lake. As he pulled along side, five
men pumped frm it and attacked him.
They were happy, because, by the

score of 13-6 they had 'won their |
fourth straight game in the World's J
