r. II. PlERcEY BROUGHT BACK BY
SHERIFF TULLock FROM
WALlA WAlLA.
M'LAUCHuN'S TRIAL SET
Will Begin Next Monday-To Be Fol.
lowed by Trial Of Cota-An Action
Against 3. F. Leper-A Serious
Charge Against Henry Raevie-A
Suit Over Sheep.

Sheriff Firmin Tullock came in from
Walla Walla Saturday evening with
:. H. Piercy as his prisoner and the
latter now occupies quarters in the
county jail, with a charge of forgery
cooked against him. This may later
be changed. The way in which Piercy
operated, in conjunction with one w.
r. Fleming, claiming to be a sort of
an attorney for one Of the Standard
On concerns, was explained in the
Democrat last week. Attorney c. w.
Buntln, who was quick to "twig" the
fraudulent nature of the scheme, and
who has looked into the matter care
fully, estimates that the men cleaned
up about $1,280 here. Fleming also
worked in Butte and good deal of
money was taken out of that camp.
When Piercy left here he gave no for.
Ward1ng address and might not have
been located but for the fact that a
LewfstOwn man wrote to F, H. Saw
yer, clerk of NatrOna county, Wyo, en-.
closing one of the fraudulent placer
oil location certificates for verification
In reply, Mr.. Sawyer wrote that he
was receiving these certificates from
Montana, Nebraska and Washington.
He cited the fact that he had just re-
ceived one from Palouse, Washington,
sent to him by graindealer. That
document showed that the placer oil
location had been recorded in book IL
at page 648. At the date given book
II had only been filled to page 67.
This, however, led to inquiries by
Sheriff Tullock, who soon had Piercy
located. The officer states that he
came near getting Fleming as well, as |
the latter had been operating in a |
town near Walla Walla and only left |
few hours before the officers ar
rival
Blames Fleming.
Piercy states that he acted honestly
in the matter, relying on Flemings
representations, and that if there was
any fraud, Fleming was alone RESPONSE
BILE for it. AS he had been engaged in
this work for some six months, the
sheriff attaches little Importance to
his protestations.
Just how much was secured in Butte
is not known. The men who went
in" in the scheme there cling to the
hope that they have some valid loca-
tions. but the local people who have
been investigating feel certain that
this is not the case.

one woman has been allowed on the
floor of the 'corbeilP (the pitt at the

not a member of the Exchange, but
she may sell and buy stocks like the
men. She is a very capable woman
and has the respect of all the brokers.

able to become a member of the

So far as genius is concerned, wo-
man is rapidly proving her ability to
cope with men in financial affairs. The
business woman has become an i'm
portant factor in society. A bulletin
from. the National Woman's Trade
Union League in Chicago says that
women are earning their living as
taxicab drivers, brickmakers, black
smiths and chimney sweepers.

ALL BOND BIDS
AGAIN REJECTED
FAILURE DUE TO FACT ENTIRE IS
SUE NOT BID ON
Regular Democrats in Legislature Assert
Filibuster Of Fusionists Is Respon-
sible for Present Embarrass-
ing Financial Condition.

ashville.-Tennesse is in the throes
of despair over its debt of eleven mil
lion dollars and more. Twice bids for
the bonds have been advertised for and
opened, but each time they were not sat
isfactory. May %, the first bids were
opened. Offers for about nine million dol
lars were made, but at such a price
the funding board rejected them. Last
Tuesday the second bids were opened.
Only three bids were received. The first
bid opened was from the Bank OF Amer
lea, New York City, whose bid was for
1000 bonds at $s74.30, July delivery,
and 44O bonds at S874.50, October de-
livery. The bid of the Volunteer State
Insurance Company OF Chattanooga was
for 14O bonds at 5000, total of $780,
600. The First National Bank of DELAY,
Ind, was for IS bonds at par.
As there was no bid for the entire
amount the suggestion was made that
without considering the matter in secret
session all bids be declared off, but as
one or two members expressed desire
to discuss the matter it was resolved to
90 into executive session for that pur-
pose
This leaves the whole matter up in the
air. with the bulk of the debt due in less
than two weeks.
The proposed issue is of 4O-year four
Der cent bondss and was authorized to
fund the entire state debt, which falls
due this year-about $9,9Oo,ooo about
July / and about $1,6oo,ooo October l.
An issue of short-term notes to take
care of the old bonds till the money
market improves has been proposed but
this requires further legislative action.
Bids were first opened on the bonds
June 2, but were rejected as being too
low.

RECALLS DAYS OF JAcKsgs
Hartford, Conn, Woman Has - 81
plandbill' Of the 1928 Pee Nanc
dentIal Campaign. -.

One of the coffin handbills," fanlBEil
in the first campaign of Andrew Jaetc
son for the presidency of the UniteS
States, in 1927, is in possession of Mrs.
w. H. Hoffman of Washington street,
says Hartford Comm dispatch. She
found it in the papers of her father,
the late Cicero Phelps, who died at
Poquonock in 1858. The bill in all
seriousness questions the fitness of
General Jackson for the presidency,
and when it is remembered that "Old
Hickory" was twice elected president
after the appearance of this bill its
potency as a campaign literature is
shown to have been not very damag-
ing to the candidate.
1t picks out the date, January %,
1915. as the date of honors being show
cred upon the hero Of New Orleans,
and also the late Of the order of exc
cution of Jacob Webb, David Morrow
John Harris, Henry Lewis, David Hunt
and Edward Lindsey, six militiamen,
who were condemned to die by court
martial, and the order signed by Cen
eral Jackson.
There is also reference to one John
Woods, a soldier, who was tried for in
subordination, convicted and con-
demned to die by court martial, Gen
eral Jackson saying that he would not
pardon the man If the court-martial
condemned him, but he actually did
offer to pardon the man II he would
enlist in the regular army.
A signed statement of Thomas Hart
Benton, lieutenant colonel of the Thir-
ty-ninth infantry and member of the
United States senate in 1918, tells of
the ARRAY in which he, his brother.
Jesse Benton-afterward a congress
man, and the father of Gen. John G.
Fremont's wife-and General Jackson
were implicated on September 4, 1918.
There were pistols and knives in that
affair, which happened I'm the town of

The campaign bill carries a heavy
black border and is embellished at
decorative points with a dozen or
more silhouettes of black collins
Jackson's treatment of the warning In
dams is also the subject Of an article.
Those were strenuous days in the blue
grass state and the southwest, but the
opponents Of General Jackson sought
to make him out as unusually blood
thirsty

Steamboat excursions run from
Marseilles out to Isle DIFF, where gap

much impressiveness as If he had
really existed. 1t Is a wonderful
tribute to the realism of Dumas. They
even show you the place where Monte

Planters Optimistic.

Clarksville.-T Planters Protective
Association met in the criminal court
room Of the court house. A good sized
crowd attended. The reports from the
different districts were all very favorable,
and Judging from them there seems to be
about two-thirds of a crop set and living.
It was reported that some fancy prices
have been received and the farmers seem
perfectly satisfied with the prices pre-
vailing this year.
Wheat is in good shape and corn is
doing fine, but has been set back by the
cool weather.

city, having come to Nashville from his
home in Muskogee, Okla, to attend a
meeting of the college of bishops, to take
action in the matter of the protest being
entered by four of the members of the
board of trust of Vanderbilt University
/. in regard to accepting the 100000 gift
rs Andrew Carnegie to the institution.

Tvs of the church, and was made on ac-
,.,,..tt Of the conditions with which the
WY was made. 1t is understood the
= test was over the provision of the
ssnation for separte governing board
for the medical department.
In speaking of the protest, Bishop Hoss
said that when the public understood the
full significance of the situation with
regard to the conditions governing the
Carnegie gift, the church would be will
ing to stand by their opinion. He said
the college of bishops would take no ac-
ton in the matter until they had given
the subject due consideration and had the
benefit of the best legal advice.
Bishop Hoss said that the question had
been raised as to whether the Carnegie
gift would have any effect on the Wander
bilt case between the church and the
board of trush and that it was his opln-
ion that it would not.
The members of the board of trust
who entered the protest, Bionsp Hoss
said. were: DIR. E. E. Chapel, Nashville;
Mai. William Millsaps, jackson, Miss;
John R. Pepper, Memphis, and William
