WOMAN WITH GUN
THREATENS SHERIFF
Crippled Ark Dweller Resists
Eviction, but Is Disarmed
by Deputies

ALAMEDA. June 6.--Armed with a
double barrelej shotgun Mrs. j. w.
Pierson, wife of an ark dweller at the
east end, threatened and defied Sherln
Frank Barnet and four of his deputies
when they went to the dwelling this
morning to evict the Pierson family
and put j. K. Kearney in possession
of the premises, Kearney having Sc
cured title to the property, which was
claimed by Pferson under squatter
rights.
The woman, who Is a cripple and
forced to go about on crutches, poked
her shotgun out of window as the
officers approached. She said that she
would shoot any person who tried to
erfker the ark. Sheriff Barnet read
the order from the court directing him
to place Kearney in possession OF the
property. While he was doing this
two of his deputies forced door in
the back of the dwelling, entered and
secured the shotgun. Mrs. Pierson
was commanded to leave the ark and
she obeyed. The deputy sheriffs as
sisted by a number of spectators to
the eviction then carried all of the
furnishings of the ark home OF the
Persons out and piled them on land
adjoining the strip to which Kearney
had been given possession.

matter of taste.
There are two things. though. that
we watch particularly" concluded Mr.
Osgood "and those are shapes and
colors- There is just as much I'M
portance in the shape Of a cigar as
there is in the color. For instance.
those with the bulldog or torpedo heads
and the tain mOuthpiece smoke light
clear to the butt. while those with the
fat. blunt mouthpiece get stronger as
you smoke them. Then the needle and
the other thin shapes always smoke
slowly, while the larger cigars. being
more lightly rolled, are consumed more
rapidly"
Mr.. Osgood is making a speciality of
catering to fastidious smokers and is
anxious to know the preferences OF
each of his patrons, so that he can sup
ply them with exactly what they want
and always keep a box on hand for
their personal use. He is building up a
splendid trade by the right methods
and is not only getting customers be-
cause he sells all the 1235 cent cigars
for 10 cents. and all the nickel cigars
for a quarter, but he is holding his
trade because of the quality of his

has adopted.

for information leading to the location
sof David Curry of Richmond. who mys-
teriously disappeared May 10. after re-

of the Standard oil company.
The theory that Curry fell into one of
the big cisterns and met death by
drowning is not regarded seriously, as
the officials of the company have point
ed out the impossibility of any ones
getting inside a tank without opening
a trap door some distance from the els
tern.
