WILLIAM RISH
IS A SURE HERO
PLYMOUTH MAN MAKES
HEROIC BALLOON AS
CENSION AT MILITIA
ENCAMPMENT-
CO. RETURNS
HOME.

Company |, the local militia re-
turned from a ten days encampr
ment at Fl. Benjamin Harrison,
Saturday night. The Plymouth
boys, as we'll as the entire 3rd
Indiana regiment distinguished
themselves for their bravery, in
the many skirmishes and battles
which were waged.
That balloons can be used sue
cessfully in modern warfare as
well as for the amusement of Ply
mouth people was demonstrated
at the camp of instruction Fri
day when Col. Edwin Z. Thayer's
novel plan for the biggest battle
OF the maneuver season was car
rled out perfectly by William F.
Rish, Company |, Third Regi-
ment, Indiana National Guard.
In a fine flight, Rsh scared
about fhree-fourths of a mile
high where he secured~a line on
the enemy's position without diff
ficulty. After an aerial ride of
ten minutes he dropped IN his
parachute and gave warning to
courier that the Blues would at
tack the extreme left of the
Brown line. Riding as rapidly as
possible, the messenger notified
Ool. l.Edwin P. Thayer, command
ing the Third Regiment, on the
extreme right. The Colonel sent
a wireless telegram of warning to
the First Regiment, Indiana, sta
toned at the point of danger.
Lieut.. Col. T.J.Louden, Bloom
ington, who had been placed in
command OF troops by Col. Geo.
w. Mccoy in the special position,
sent for reinforcements and Col.
George r. Cecil arrived with the
Tenth Infantry just in time to as
sist the Hoosiers in the most SEN
sational finish of an exciting bat
tie. The fray between the First
Regiment and the Tenth Infantry
against the Third Battalion.
Twenty-seventh Infantry, and the
West Virginia troops were
within the shadow of the famed
Bakers bridge.
The officers at first were in
clined TO believe that Col. Thayef
had made a grand stand play.
When the airship was seen from
the battle field, however, time"
was called and the soldiers forgot
their work and regular army Off
GERS were amazed. They compli-
mented Col. Thayer highly on his
originality and the stunt" will
go on record as the feature of the
maneuver season.
The -"sky pilot" as the soldiers
affectionately call their chaplain,
the Rev. w G.. Everson, pastor
OF the College Avenue Baptist
church, indianapolis, was largely
responsible for the success of the
balloon undertaking. He carried
Col. Thayer's plan to completion
and looked after all the details.
The chaplain raised 500 to cover
the expense of the scheme and
had charge of the special details
OF fifty men which managed the
ascensions.
Congressman Jesse Overstreet
who was guest of Maj. George
II. Penrose, chief quartermaster,
was greatly interested in the bal
loon operations. Mr.. Overstreet
was almost fatally wounded"
when the balloon first appeared
over the tree tops. His eagle eye
caught it before the recess was
called, and while ''rubbering' to
see what would happen soldiers
in ambush mistook him for an
enemy in disguise" and blazed
away. The congressman had new
er witnessed maneuver at the
camp of instruction before and
greatly enjoyed the visit.

Jones had been at the fair grounds
with his dirigible balloon Boomerang.
When the aeronaut reached height
of more than 500 feet the spectators
were amazed to see small tongues of
flames issuing from under the gas
bag in front of the motor. At this
time the balloon had passed out of the
fair grounds
Many persons in the great crowd en-
deavored to apprise Jones of the dan
ger, but several minutes elapsed be-
fore he noticed the fire. Then he
grasped the rip cord and by letting out
the gas endeavored to reach the earth.
The machine had descended but a
short distance when a sudden burst
of flame enveloped the gas bag, the
framework Immediately separating
from the bag. ~ .-
+, Jones fell with the frame of his mo-
tor and when the spectators reached
him he was lying under it. The ply
sicians who were in the crowd found
that Jones lad no chance to survive,
as he was injured internally and his

suBsCRlPTl0N..-s5.0 PER ANNUM
oPsAHL EvADEs FUNKLEY's CHALLENGE.

In a write-up which occupies, in
sections, nearly the entire front
page of the Bemidji Sentinel of this
week, ]. J. Opsahl attempts to
evade the direct challenge made by
Henry Funkley to publicly debate
his (Opsahl's) legislative record at
any time and place Opsahl may
select; and Opsahl gets behind the
very convenient armor of throwing
mud at Funkley's past record as
county attorney. ~
Opsahl does not accept the
challenge to openly debate his
record, so that all may hear, but
makes the provision that the record
be discussed by the Pioneer man, in
the office of either the Sentinel or
the Pioneer, where he could crowd
the place with his admirers and not
give the public opportunity to hear
him talk.
One of the best equipments of a
legislator is the ability to set forth
the. meat of a statement, in a few
words which do not tire, in order
that action may be had quickly; and
the fact that Opsahl takes some five
columns to answer yes" or mo" to
a brief challenge for debate, is
significant.
And Opsahl desired the Pioneer
to publish, without recompense, five
columns of matter, which could as
well have been covered in half
column. If he will cut down his
harrangue to the same brevity as
the challenge, we will publish it.
Certainly we will not devote some
five columns of the Pioneer to the
reproduction OF a lot OF rot" as to
what mineself and Got" have &C.
complished in this world, land setting
forth what should be explained on
the platform as per the challenge.
By all means, let Opsahl take the
platform and, facing the people of
his district as he would the members
of the legislature, let him tell what
great things he has accomplished.
Accept or reject. the challenge,
Opsahl. It was made to you by
Mr.. Funkley, over his own sigma
ture, and he will attend to the
matter. The Pioneer will publish
your reply, if it is limited to the
same brevity as the original chal-
lenge.

German Officials Express Surprise at
the Agitation Of French and EngIis!,
Papers-Psace in, Morocco and Res.
toration Of Trade to a Normal Basis
Can Only Be Secured by the Plan
Outlined. SIS
Berlin, Sept. 4-The action of Ger.
many conc erning Morocco, it was ex-
planned, is limited to the suggestion
to the sfgnatories Of the Algeciras act
that the time has arrived to recognize
Mulai Hafid as sultan of Morocco.
Official wonderment is expressed at
the agitation of the French and Eng
Hsh newspapers over the occurrence.
They act as though Germany had
done something outside her privileges
instead of something that one of the
signatory powers must do if the Mo-
roccan situation is to be cleared up.
Mulai Hafid has informed the pow:
ers on several occasions that he would
fully observe the terms of the Alge-
ciras agreement and he doubtless will
repeat these pledges if to do so is re.
garded as necessary preliminary to
his recognition.
German trade in Morocco is suffer
ing from the continuance of disorder
there, It was further explained, and
Mulai Hafid and his lieutenant COVER
Aors have failed to recognize the
rights of persons under German pro-
lection. Consequently, the German
consul at Tangier, Dr. Vassel, has
gone to Fee to straighten out these
difficulties. France some time ago
sent a skillful and experienced agent
to the court Of Mulai Hafid, where he
has since remained looking out after
French interests. This envoy is an
Algerian in the French consular
service. --,.-
It appears here that the French
government desires to make certain
private arrangements with Mulai
Mafid before coming out in support of
the legitimacy of his claim to the
sultanate. r...
Another probable cause of the dis
satisfaction in Paris is that certain
French interests made loans to Abdul
Aziz since the beginning of. the civil
war and now they would like to per-
suade or compel Mulai Hatid to take
over responsibility for these transac.
lions. From the German point of view
this is unjust.

II London, Sept. At is learned that
the British government is holding
aloof from Mulai Hafid, the new sui
tan of Morocco, for the present, but
that it proposes to recognize him in
due time. British officialdom is irri
tated by the course adopted by Ger
many, which it regards as an attempt
to gain influence over and the good
will of Mulai Hafid by stealing a
march on the other powers. Consul
tations are now going on between
Great Britain, France and Spain and
there is no doubt but that Great Brit
ain and France will act together and
probably insist that Mulai Hafid give
promises to carry out obligations of
Morocco to the powers before they
recognize him.
