THE PIERCE ARROW

Every year, in the history Of the
PieTce-ArTow Motor Car Company, has
seen 4 number Of its cars sold to those
who formerly owned cars Of other
makes. This season has been espe-
cially notable for that fact The reason
is unInistakable. Buyers realize that
Pierce-ATow construction stands for the
highest quality they can find. A null
tipicity of detailed TefIReTaents has
given the qualities Of comfort, durability
and beauty and d balance that makes
each ever present, but not predominant

SALVATION ARMY
CHRISTMAS DINNER
Will Give Spread to the Poor of the
City at Their Hall on
Seneca Street.

The American Salvation Army
folks will serve Christmas dinner at
their hall on Seneca street on Christ
mas day. The spread will be served
especially for the needy and worthy
poor Of the. city, all of whom are
cordially invited to be present and
partake of the good things which
will be prepared for the occasion.
The salvation army officials
have been soliciting the public for
provisions for this Christmas dinner,
and they expect to have a bountiful
supply of all kinds of eatables for
the coming spread. Their dinner
last year was a great treat to those
for whom it was intended and this
seasons feast should be no less ac-
ceptable to those who are unable to
provide suitable Christmas dinner
for themselves.
The salvation army will also have
a Christmas tree at their hall on
New Years night for the benefit of
the poor, to which all are invited.
Fuller particulars in relation to this
will be given later.

Anything but Brick.

Guy Rankin of Fort Dodge, who
is something Of a philosopher and
financier, was in the city yesterday.
AS showing the way paving works
in different localities it might not
be out of the way to quote Mr..
Rankin. In speaking of paving he
said, in substance: 'sBrick is the
most abomniable paving ever put
in. It is failure in Fort Dodge
and would prefer anything else. Gre
osoted blocks are good and are prov
ing satisfactory. We have some con-
crete and 1t is about as good as any
thing. I am afraid of 1t. but I sign

of trouble with asphalt, but some

say is perfect"
And that is about the evidence Of

The Streyer Case.

The case of Geo. R. Strever, for
merly Of this city, against John
Woodward for $4,000. was conclud-
ed in the district court at Clarion a
few days ago. The Monitor gives
the following particulars:
This case has been followed with
great interest, not only by the pub
lie in general, but by those who
own and operate automobiles in par
ticular. This was case wherein
John Woodward on the goth of De-
cember, 1910, ran into the plaintiffs
buggy on the public highway west
Of the town of woodstock, causing
him to be thrown out of the buggy
and sustaining, as he claimed. SER
ious and permanent injuries. The
plaintiff brought action to recover
damages in the sum of $4,000 for in
juries received through the negli-
gent, careless and fast driving or
the defendants automobile. The de-
Tense claimed that the accident was
unavoidable; that he was following
the buggy at slow rate Of speed at
a point in the highway where he
could not pass the vehicle, owing to
the passing of another automobile
in the opposite direction: that he
had his machine under perfect con-
| troll and that he would not have coll
lided with the buggy had 1t not
suddenly stopped: and that when 1t
did so stop, he turned his machine
in an effort to miss the buggy; the
fender OF the auto came In contract
with the hind wheel OF the buggy
fitting 1t and thus throwing the
plaintiff out upon the ground. The
evidence did not conflict very much,
only as to the extent Of injuries re-
i ceived. A number OF doctors gave
expert testimony in the case. We
understand that the court expense
Of the case amounts to approximate

REPORTS SAY BEAL
IS APPRtRENDED
Man who is Wanted in This City
and Other Places on Rob-
berry Charges.

1t is reported on the street today
that Leslie Beal, the man who is
wanted in connection with the
Channer drug store robbery and
other affairs of the same kind in
nearby cities, has been apprehended.
However, it could not be ascertain
ed where he is being held. 1t is re-
ported that he was out of this state
when caught. It is probable that
the authorities at Fort Dodge will
send for him and take him to that
place in answer to charges held
against him. His wife is in custody
there, being held for concealing
stolen property. At the trial of
Morrison in this city last week, in
which he was convicted and given
ten years in the penitentiary at An
amosa, Beai was implicated in the
Channer drug store robbery.

No report of the findings of the
paving committee made by the city
council members and the three citi-
zens residing in the paving district

Several petitions signed by the
residents of the proposed paving dis
trict were then read.
One of the petitions was from
Boone street in which the signers
asked that the material used on
their street be concrete. They also
specified the manner in which it
was to be put in and the mixing
parts to be used. The next paper
was from the residents OF the same
street asking that the idea OF paving
the street be abandoned. This petit
ton was signed by j. @. A. Miller
and others. In their appeal they
say that as their street is sandy and
dry no paving is necessary.
A petition of the residents of Wal
nut street was then read. This APP
peal was for concrete. This pets
tion was signed by r. B. Foster and

ell may meet and consider the diff
ferent kinds OF materials to be used

fications will also be furnished In

kinds Of material they shall adver-
tise for bids.
