The IMAM OF WAR"
Trooper Pierce Uses His Faithful Colts In
"GettIng His"

when peace fails try war" Is tho
axiom that Corporal n. r. Pierce fol-
lowed yesterday with various results.
Pierce, some time ago, worked for
Mr. Lundergren, the creamery man,
In the final settlement Pierce claimed
eleven dollars more than Lundergren
was disposed TO pay, Lundergron
alleged several conditions which,
Piorco had failed TO comply with, and
was for settling the AFFAIR by arbi-
tration. Trooper Pierce, hoewver, as
Developments showed, is a man of
war, and is for settling difficulties by
appeal to arms.
Yesterday Pierce, who Is a corpo-
raj of Troop b, was detailed by the
officer of the day, to arrest trooper
who had failed to report for drill
He was in uniform and carried his
sIde-arms, consisting OF one real Sc
rious-looking Colts revolver After
carrying the message he went to
Lundergren's place and demanded
the money. Lundergren refused, and
Pierce argued the matter for a while
but finally brought the Colts into
play, and, with that persuasion, Mr..
Lundergren signed a check for the
amount.
So far Pierce's war policy succeed
ed, but before he got away from Lun-
dergren's place Marshall j. NJ. Sni-
der arrested him on a warrant and
carried him to jail The warrant
sworn out charged him with assault
iwth intent to kill Corporal Pierce
spent the night in jail, and II Capt.
Ingerton and Lieut.. Golding had not
come to his rescue, he would have
remained there for some time. These
gentlemen went on his bond
$25O-this morning, so he will de-
part with Troop B this evening.

largest attended and the most sue
cessful in every way OF any ever held.
Rev. Allredge, pastor Of the First
Baptist church, has been quite busy
for some time, making all prelimina-
ry arrangements, and while the
greater portion of these have been
completed, he is still hard at work in
the matter. The encampment, which
remains in session nine days, bids
fair to be the greatest religious gath
ering of the kind that has been held
in the Panhandle, and the programs
arranged for each day are the best
that could have possibly been made.
The lecturers that will be present AT
the encampment aresome OF the most
noted in the state, among them being
Drs. Gambrell, Kendall and Gray
Special trains will be run from ANA
