The Honor of Noble
Confederate Soldiers
Editor Fort Pierce News /,

Editor Fort Pierce News
In a late issue of your contemporary
Comrade Hardesty makes an attempt
to viudlcate his honor as Confederate
soldier.
There is no doubt that he was SOL
dier and did his duty as one. His case
is parallel to another that happened in
1854. A captain in an Arkansas regi
ment obtained 80 day furlough to re-
turn home. His furlough expired the
10th Of july 1854, and he was reported
absent without leave. When the com.
manding officer OF the regiment had
reliable information that the captain
had made several attempts to join his
command but so strict was the watch
kept by the Federal patrol and gun
boats that in SO chances out of 100 the
crossing could not be made. There was
enough Confederate soldiers captured
while attempting to rejoin their regi-
ments In the Army OF Tennessee and
the Army of Northern Virginia to.make
at least two full regiments, and many
and many recruits for the Louisiana,
Arkansas, Texas and Missouri regi-
ments, under Generals Leo aud john
stone, we're captured or killed lin at.
tempting to cross the Mississippi river.
Comrade Hardesty did what very few
would have done. He saw that the at
tempt would be futile for him to try to
reioin his regiment and he enlisted in
another command and did service as an
artilleryman until the close of the war,
He should be commended for his action
instead of being branded as deserter.
Many gallant Confederate soldiers fill
unknown and unmarked graves on the
battlefield that was reported absent
without leave or as deserted. Any sol
dier that saw service In either the Army
of Tennessee or Gen FORESTS cavalry
know that Granbury's Texas Brigade,
Adams Louisiana Brigade, Govan's
and McNair's Arkansas Brigades, or
the Missouri Brigade in Gen, French's
Division, could not receive any commu
nication from their homes after the
battle OF Chickamauga. Comrade Hard,

q curiosity. But Rev. Charles SteIzie
is not an uncommon looking man.
Rather youngish looking, with e bald
head and a stiff upper lip and a keen
eye, he goes about his work without
much fuss, and he gets things done.

Mr.. Stelzle started his religious
work in st. Paul and vicinity, organiz-
ing Sunday schools one summer years
ago along the line Of the Northern Pa
Gle toward Taylor's Falls.
Charge Of Hope, Chapel, Minneapolis.
After Mr.. stelzle spent the summer
organizing Sunday schools some OF
the business men Of Minneapolis urged
him to take charge of Hope chapel,
protege of Westminster Presbyterian
church. He did this. and spent good
deal of his efforts with a club Of boys.
which numbered more than 900
most of the time. This was the
flret church of which. he had charge.
He then went to New York and then
to Sit. Louis, and was called to be SUI

CAN DIVISION OF

QUESTION HAS ARISEN IN THE

Can the school board Of school dis

In the winter? This is the question
now up In school district No. 30 OF
Cass county which Is seven miles
southeast of Davenport.
The majority of the patrons OF the
school want II continued through for
one solid term OF seven months. The
board however, wants to close the
school for the winter months and fin
ish 1t In the spring. The governing
body deem 1t q stroke OF economy and
give as another reason for its action
that is II allows the small child to at
tend the school when 1t would be Inn
possible for the hitler folks to get an
education during the bitter cold
months.
The majority OF the children Of the
school are ready to attend the school
the entire winter. The board has
however divided against the wishes OF
the people and desire to close the.
school during January and February. :

The RoostIns Spirit.

Are you Fargo booster?
II not, II is tie that you should
be. The business men Of Fargo are
awakening to the fact, that things can
be done here in the same manner ais
they are and have been done in other
cities. In other cities the boosting
spirit has practically doubled the
population Of the town. and more than
doubled the amount Of business done
in the commercial and industrial field.
Mr.. Chalmers In his talk at the
boosters banquet showed the Fargo
business men what could be done
along this line. The Fargo boosters
are now taking this work Ia hand,
and being free to do It, are doing
1t.
The gate city Is on the road to a
city Of greater opportunity. This Is
no dream but Is an evident fact for
the reason that every day the Fargo
Commercial club receives letters show
ing that Fargo IL being looked upon
by the outside world. as one Of the
coming cities OF the United States, one
OF the foremost towns in the north
west and without a shadow Of doubt
the greatest little city In the world.

house and declared that along the way on the border from the ball park to the American custom house not a single American soldier was encountered on patrol
 The building was entirely consum- ed by fire, as 1t was not possible for the Douglas Fire department 10 reach the scene. The object of Mir Douglas in calling on Colonel Shunt was to get him to arrange with the commander of the Mexican troops for the passage of the Douglas Fire department to the Naeozari depot in Agua Prieta.
 Besides the burning of the depot in Agua Prieta two bridges were burned by insurrectos in the vicinity of. Cabullona station One of these bridges was at kilometer 13 and the other at Cabullona station. Neither was of any considerable length and it was expected that they would be repaired today in time for the train to pass south at the regu- lar time this afternoon.

Left Ammunition.

The fact that this morning there were piled up great quantities Of ammunition iI boxes which had not been opened and In cartridge belts which had been gathered from the battlefield Is taken as an evidence that the surrender or evacuation ot the town was not entirely due to the scarcity of ammunition. But there is one feature of the ammu- nit.on troubles that must have con fronted the insurrectos, both here and at other battles in Sonora, and that Is the great variety of guns car ried. It is known that all ammu hilton is made for a certain gun and that it is rare that cartridges manu- factured for one gun are useful in any other make of gun.
 Shunt's Order Protected Douglas.
 While there were a number struck by bullets in Douglas yesterday which were fired across the line 1t must be concluded that the order sent to Colonel Diaz by the hand of Chas. McKean, resulted in much eau ton on the part of the federals in directing their fire so that 1t would not fall into Douglas. McKean, ac companied by James T. Williams, IT,, of Tucson delivered the order from Colonel Shut at Sulphur, four miles south of Agua Prieta on Sunday morning.
 Colonels Diaz, Barron and Chiapas all said this morning tEat when this order was received 1t caused them to change their entire battle arrange ment At that time the federals were already lined up for the ad. vance on the town from due south, which would have been a leaden hail into Douglas. After the order had been delivered by McKean, who was the official messenger of Colonel Shunt, Colonel Diaz made inquiry as to the location of the city, the shelter and other points where lives might be endangered.
 Colonel Diaz stated this morning that he was very sorry to learn that people had been wounded in Douglas, that he had done every thing possible to prevent federal bullets reaching the American side of the line. and that this precaution had put him at a disadvantage in the work of capturing the city

HAPPENINGS AFTER THE FIGHT
 AND COMMENT ON EVENTS
CDougias international, Thursday.)

Douglas international, Thursday.)
 without a pass from the com. manding officers on both sides of the boundary it was still impossible to cross the international line this morning. This meant that there was no news from across the line, for those passes were few and far between. and are not being extend ed to any press representatives. This means that no accurate esti- mate can be formed of the dead or wounded. how the former are being disposed of and. the latter cared for or what is being done in any direc- don It can only be said that the casualties which resulted from the nghting in and about the town will never be known, except as reported to his government by Colonel Diax. This report will be given out by the governor of Sonora, 1t is ex- pected, just as have been the ac- counts of other engagements. The general belief is that the losses were very heavy on both sides.
 The report of yesterday that the Insurrectos fled west is not now gen orally believed. The theory is that they are completely scattered and the sight of so many of them in and about Douglas gives credence to this. If they had gone west the! must have met Cabral and warned him of the disaster that had over taken them Tbis was not done.
 Rumors Persistent.
 once more the war situation in Douglas has returned to the state Of rumOr and then more rumors. Some of these can be run down and dis proved, others it is impossible to confirm or deny, and only a few can be made actual facts.
 This morning the freight depot and five cars of freight were burned at Agua Prieta. During the night bridges were burned south of here
 This is confirmed, sauthentic. Al noon it was all that could be con nrmed
 This morning there was a report of fighting at Cabunona. It is likely there was a skirmish there. Cabral would have had to have gone there about twelve miles or return to the Packard ranch, twenty-four miles tC obtain water. He was seen to turn south. Federal scouts may have

overtaken him and skirmish fol lowed.
 Orozco and his force were reported at Cenizas Springs. They were also reported below San Bernardino. the same force. and 2OO0 strong. but a young man in from the ranch at noon stated that they had not been seen. Two others claimed to have seen them, but further advices to the ranch bore out the young Mex ican who came in this morning and declared them not there.
 Later in the afternoon the rumor spread that Madero was seen ap- preaching. Nothing to confirm this was found, but advices from Fl Paso placed him at 8 miles south of Juarez. The return of White Light Joe" is probably the next report that will be heard.
 The Nacozari railroad freight depot was burned at an early hour, with five cars of freight, which were standing near the building. Just how the building was fired Is not known. but there are two theories for its occurrence. One is that it was fired by some insurrecto who crossed the line for that purpose and who had remained under the building after the fighting. and the other is that some of the federals in Agua Prieta had taken their sta. ton at the depot and the fire was started from a cigarette.
 There is no truth in the story that bodies were burned In the building, says those who have visit ed the depot grounds since the fire.
 J. s. Douglas was aroused at 1 o'clock this morning and informed that the Nacozari depot was on fire He at once called Henry Elvy and his automobile and hurried to call Colonel Shunt, who is yet in com mand of the United States troops here. At the garrison at the ball park Mir. Douglas was delayed by subordinate guard officers for fifty minutes before he sould see Colonel Shunt. One of the sargents insisted that the colonel should not be called before reyiele this morning Finally, after seeing the colonel and reporting the fire and requesting that a force be sent to the American custom house Mir.

From that battle since Colonel Diaz brought his command by train to Cananea and started for Arizpe where Cabral went after the fighting at San Rafael Learning that Arizae had been deserted by the revoltosos he marched his men to Bacoachi and from there to Picacho. From there he headed for Fronteras and learn ing that Agua Prieta was threatened he hurried his march as fast as pos sible. reaching Cabullona Saturday evening. where he encamped, starting early Sunday morning for Agua Prieta.
 Major Barron.
 Major Barron has been connected with the military department of So nora for years and is a commander of rurales. an organization similar to the ranger organization we had in Arizona for several years. He also took part in the fighting at San Rafael
