The Importance of the PIERCE family
in the town is manifest on every hand
in Middleboro. There is the old Peirce
academy building, erected by the father
of the late Thomas PIERCE; the old Peirce

pillared portico, like Greek temple;
the old colonial house Of the Peirce fam

ner in town a business building, recent
ly constructed, known as the Peirce
block. In this building is the post Of

q masonic hall.
Under the terms Of Mr.. Peirce's will,
the income from his bequest is to be ex-
pended by three trustees for the bene-
fit Of the town, according to their best
Judgment. The donor of the fund had
little faith in town officials, not as indi-
viduals, but in their official capacity,

fall for alleged malfeasance and mis-
conduct in Office. 1t was an inehectual
effort 1t only urged him and made
him announce himself a candidate for
governor a third term. He said it was
undemocratic, yet he desired vindica-
ton at the hands Of the people of his
state, and announced himself as a can
didate upon the "vindication platform"
only.
He had an old grudge against United
States Senator James K. Jones, which
he wanted to satisfy, and he satisfied it
fully.
In stumping the state for governor
he espoused the cause of Former Gov.
James P. Clarke, whom Davis induced
to announce himself against Senator
Jones. Clark and Davis were at that
time the bitterest of enemies. Yet
Davis urged his followers to vote for
Clarke and he brought about Senator
jones' defeat. ~ F%
Senator Jones at that time was the
biggest man politically in Arkansas.
He was popular with all classes, and his
rise to the craftsmanship of the national
democratic committee made him "a man
above men" in the eyes of the Arkansas
people. James P. Clarke was at that
time far from being popular man with
the "red necks and hill billies," but JEFF
Davis made him so. He visited every
county in the state, and went into the

strongholds, and election day demon.

ties that had gone for Jones in previous
elections without a dissenting vote
went solid for Clarke, and at the same
time gave JEFF Davis enough votes ia
elect him governor for a third term: by

In The Nick
of Time
Bv DUKE CUYLER

Upon the east branch of the Saco,
Il away up under the shadow of Dou-
blehead, Elias Towle built his cabin, ana
then commenced the work Of clearing
the forest about it.
His family consisted of a wife and
two small children, boy and girl.
The former was five and the latter three
years of age.
Early and late the pioneer worked at
his task, and one after another OF the
forest trees went laundering to the
ground, letting in the golden sunlight
where shadows had reigned before.
Thus through the summer he labored
on increasingly, only quitting his work
long enough to care for the little patch
of corn which he had planted in the
springtime, and to keep themselves well
supplied with game, with which the for
est abounded, or with delicious speckled

His will was surprise to the towns
people. There were requests to rela-
tives of more than 100000. but the bulk
of the estate was for the town, with
$4,000 specifically set aside for public
library, and $50, 900 more for a perma-
nent fund to buy books and periodicals
for the library.
After these requests were paid twas
understood that the fund remained
something more than 100000. This
is invested in various ways-in lands
and houses in Middleboro to the extent
of about $175,00O assessed value; IN
mortgages, In stocks and in bonds. u
The size of the fund, or the character.
of the Investments by which it is repre-
sented, are not matters Of public record.
The income derived from the fund is
probably about $4,000, which is nearly
one-ffth as much as the total amount Of
money raised by the town each yearf0r

eighth Of the total assessed valuation or
property in .Middleboro.

river.
One~sultry afternoon he quilted his
work of telling the trees, and taking his
fishing tackle he started of up the
stream in pursuit of mess Of trout.
The boy begged hard to accompany
him, but as he was going some distance,
he decided that the tramp would be too
much for him, and so babe him remain
at home with his mother.
Promising to be home by sunset, he
went down to the stream, and was soon
engaged in taking the trout therefrom.
He nearly always had good luck in
fishing, but now it was better than usual.
He thought that never before had he
known them to bite so we'll. So he went
on enjoying the sport, and filing up his
string rapidly.
About half q mile above his clearing
his attention was attracted by some
footprints in the sand. Another glance
told him that they were the tracks of g
huge panther that had here crossed the
stream. They had been recently made,
perhaps not more than an hour before.
He could not resist gazing furtively
around as though he half expected to see
the animal peering down upon him
from amid the foliage on the bank. But
he saw nothing, and as he went onward
the incident was soon forgotten.
The trout still continued to be taken
readily; and so much engaged was he
that he took little note Of how fast the
time was flying.
. But at last, when the sun could no
longer be seen in the gorge through
which the stream ran, he suddenly be-

he would not reach his home much be-

to follow the stream down. 1t made
several bends, which, by cutting across,
he could shorten the distance.

OFFICERS RAID
SAN PEDRO JOINT

A gambling joint in the rear of Nick
Carrolls saloon at Sixth and Front
streets, San Pedro, was raided by
county officers from Los Angeles last
evening and thirty persons arrested.
All the paraphernalia of the house,
which was equipped for playing "black
jack" poker" and roulette, was con-
fiscated by the officers as well as $3.50
worth of chips.
The raiding party was led by Deputy
Constables de la Monte and Jack
Adams of Los Angeles, assisted by the
local police and a number of deputies.
One of the leaders of the raiding party
entered the gambling room early in the
evening and took the game, being al
lowed to play as much money and as
frequently as he desired without ques-
ton by the manager.
After sufficient evidence had been
collected by the officer, a signal was
given TO the waiting party outside the
building and they rushed in with drawn
revolvers without q word C. ming
to the inmates. A number of the men
attempted to escape, but were cut off
from their retreat by officers stationed
outside and in the alleyway.
When all the furniture of the gam
bling joint had been confiscated by the
raiding party the prisoners were taken
before Judge Downing, where they
were put under bonds ranging from
$3.50 TO S400.
