CANADIAN KILLED BY DRY OFFICFRS CANADIAN WATERS Fatality Likely to Cause a Protest to the U. S. Government Niagara Falls, Ont,, Nov. 30.-- Carl Anderson, aged 34, of Lewis- ton, alleged rum runner killed by U.S. dry officers in an encounter off Niagara-on-the-Lake Thursday morning, may have been in Cana- dian waters when he was killed Search of his boat revealed no trace of liquor. ' Wiile no official report is avail- able on this side of the river, it is stated that the fatal encounter took place six miles off the American shore, which would place the shoot- ing out of the jurisdiction of the men who fired the shots. Inquiry Likely If an inquiry reveals that An- derson was killed and his compan- ion, Edmund Sahr, wounded while still in Canada, a protest wil likely be lodged with Ottawa for transmission to Washinigton. An- derson has already been the sub- ject of ome such protest. During the Summer he was shot at by a U. S. coast guhrd and bis position in Canadian waters was definitely established by witnesses, including the captain of a passenger vessel bound for Toronto. Crippled By Shots Sahr, survivor of the brief but deadly early morning action, claim- ed that their vessel--The Bug-- was crippled when the hail came to heave to. He was tinkering with the stalled engine, he said, when the fusilade of machine-gun fire opened. Anderson, at the wheel, was in- stantly killed. Sabhr was wounded in the chest. The three members of the crew of the coastguard, he says, left him beside the dead body of his companion, saying they were going for a doctor. After waiting for an hour, he claims, he made his way to the farm of John Streblo, who took him to a doctor In Youngstown, From there he was brought to the hospital Falls, N.Y.

JEamDIXON COAL COs QUALITY SERVICE ASSURED crew, in their report to their sup- eriors, said they hailed the Bug off the south shore, abqut five miles east of Fort Niagara, at 2.30 am. Two warning shots were fired, they state, when they saw the craft, running without lights, turn back towards the Canadian shore. Then the boat turned and made towara them. It was a deliberate attempt to ram their craft, the officers re- ported. As the Bug slipped by, mis- sing them by inches, they fired a volley. Sahr, they declared, jumped from the boat as it was beached and ran away. Chris Drew, one of the surf-mea, figured in the shooting of Jacob D. Hanson on Lewiston hill last May.
