CHASED OVER THE MOUNTAINS 200 MEN REFULSED IN TIPPERARY CORK GUNMEN From Our Own Correspondent DUBLIN, Thursday. — Another mountain skirmish is reported from Tipperary to-day. A police patrol, says Dublin Castle, was fired upon at Borrisolea, near Templemont. Two of the attackers were seen to fall in the resulting exchange of shots. When the patrol reached the village and started to search for suspects they were again fired upon. Military reinforcements, which came up, pursued the Republicans, over 200 in number, over the mountains. The Sinn Feiners, adds the official report, seem to have been waiting their opportunity for some days, and had dug a trench across the road to hold up traffic. Another Lorry Tragedy The dead body of a young man was taken by soldiers to the Ennis inrmary last night. It was the ever-recurring tragedy of the man "shot dead while attempting to escape from custody." The man was being conveyed to the military headquarters in Ennis in a lorry when it happened. Royal Liver Office Held Up Two masked men, says a message from Cork, entered the office of the Royal Liver Friendly Society there, held up the clerks with revolvers, and got away with loot of over £50 in cash.
