PIERCE PEACHES

Judging from the display
brought to the Chamber of Com

is likely to become a great peach
country.
Secretary Somers secured from
John McAleer, of McAleer station
on the Puyallup Short Line, a half
bushel of as fine looking peaches
as were ever seen even on the big
peach farm of Gorgia.
The fruit is splendidly colored
and grew on a tree 20 years old.
The chamber will have samples
preserved and placed in jars for
the exhibit.
Today a new aquarium was also
placed in the exhibit room and
some live fish will soon be added
to the exhibit.

Old Man Runs Wild
With Gun at Sol
dier'S Home

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
DAYTON, o., Aug. Edward
Leonard, Civil war veteran who
served brilliantly under General
o. o. Howard, shot and instantly
killed Captain Oscar Eastmond, at
his desk i'm the barracks of the
soldiers home here today.
Leaving his victim, he ran up
the stairs to a bedroom ON tho
second floor, where Sergeant Arm
old was playing solitaire, and shot
Arnold full in the face.
Rushing to the story above
Leonard met Corporal Warren
Wright in the hallway and he shot
him down. Still fiourishing the
gun, the murderer then turned
and started to retrace his steps,
when he was caught. He Is now
under heavy guard.
Threat of Wholesale Killing.
When Leonard left the body of
his first victim, the aged inmates
of the home, attracted by the re-
port of the revolver, crowded to-
ward the office of Eastmond.
Staggering with fury Leonard
rushed at them and threatened to
kill the first one who stood in his
path. Then he drove the old SOL
diers before him and created q
panic among the veterans.
When caught Leonard seemed
ito be insane with rage. He Of
fered no explanations and the
cause of the mans murderous
actions remains a mystery.
1t is reported, however, that
Leonard was reprimanded by an
officer and this made him furious
ly angry. Another report is to
1.-THE effect that Eastmond and
Leonard held an old grudge be-
tween them, dating back to the
time they were living in New
York, and that Leonard killed
Eastmond to settle the score.
Leonard Is 65 years old and has
been in the soldiers home for
some time. Both Arnold and
Wright are seriously injured and
are thought to be dying.

which the latter had alleged that
the decision In the Sullivan will

before the state bar committee
which involved the name of q. B.
Palmer, a member of the legisla-

committee should procure evil

by the bar committee. This Is the
testimony of Tony Richardson,

that body. Finally. when he did
appear, 1t was stated that the

Those who had witnessed the

The young man was engaged
