After the war, from which he
emerged as Major Bierce, he flipped
coin to see whether he would go
in for literature or a military career.
Literature won and he began to write
essays and stories. The year 1870
found him in London in the brilliant
|set Of which Tom Hood was leader.
There he sent forth such poignant
shafts of ridicule Of men and institu-
tions as to earn for him the sobriquet
|of Bitter Bierce.'
on returning to America, Bierce
went west. IN 1880 he was manager
for mining company in the Black
Hills, where he had some desperate
adventures with bad men, chiefly
|highwaymen. Later he was employed

he was given free hand, and in his

Writer Who Outdid Poein
Horror q Victim of Mexico
1ey BAILEY MiIIard in New York Times)

War has blotted out another bright
life that of Ambrose Bierce, unique
figure in American literature whose
vivid army tales and keen satirical
papers and poems stamped him as one
Of the most original and versatile Of
writer's. Bierce was a master of Eng
nsh, as even his most ephemeral work
will show, and technically none could
touch him. He corrected Kipling, and
Howells, and in his critical essays he
showed where many other famous au-
thors failed in their facts or their
diction. He wrote the most grue-
some, most narrowing, the most ter
rible tales ever published IN this coun-
try. Some Of his poems were Of rare
strength and beauty. His "Invocar
ton" Is said to have been the real in
spiration Of Kipling's "Recessional, !"
and in this instance newspaper men
have pulled the deadly parallel to the
supposed confusion Of the famous
Engllshman.
Bierce led most remarkable life
half hermit, half Bohemian, and alto
gether egotistical and cynical. In the
west he was the most hated and fear
ed of writer's, and also the most court
ed and spoiled. He lampooned near
ly everybody in political and private
life with hair raising audacity. AS the
dean Of Pacific coast letters he made
and unmade authors and poets. The
dilettante worshipped him. He has
been called "the American Swift" 'the
last Of the satisirists,' and ''the Mau-
passant of the west" He was an
iconoclast of the first order
When Villa rose against Huerta and
the constitutionalists rushed to arms,
Bierce, who was northern captain
in the civil war and was brevetted
major for exceptional gallantry, went
to Mexico and joined the staff of the
doughty general. After the battle of
Torreon he was missing and has not
been heard from since. There is SO
little doubt of his death that his
friends and relatives have given up
searching for him and mourn him as

II. D. Cowden Of Bloomington, Ill.
nor his secretary, Miss Carrie Chris
tiansen of washington, with each OF
whom he corresponded regularly, has
ihad any word from him for nine
months.
At the time he joined Villa he was
72 years old. His friends unite in
saying that if he were alive he would
not have left them SO long in sus-
pense. There has been report from
San Francisco that on leaving that
city for Mexico he was very despond-
ent, and that he was going back to his
old game Of war because he lacked
the courage to commit suicide There
lis another rumor that he actually did
efface himself in Sonora.
Neither of these stories deserves
credence. knew the man well. He
was a fatalist and did not believe in
assisting fate. There are those who
affect to believe that he is letting the
reports Of his death go uncontradict-
ed that he may enjoy the reading Of
his obituaries. But should say that
this were very unlikely, Vain he was,
and not little curious as to what
men thought OF him, but not SO vain
or SO curious as that.
Ambrose Bierce had a peculiarly
anomalous position in the world Of
letters. The public, seeking out the
best sellers, was little acquainted
with his writings. This was partly
for the reason strange as it may seem
that he despised popularity and all
that The world stands for This was
not merely from the desire to be diff
ferent, but for the reason that he In
ed and thought entirely out Of the
grove. Like Thoreau, he held "me3
and their dirty institutions" in utter
contempt He would have lit his q
gar with a rage Of Emerson and would
have thrown Longfellow into the ash
can
He would never defer in the slight
est to the literary or philosophical
opinions of his fellows, cared nothing
for what they might say Of his per
sonal conduct, however singular or Of
fensive, and though he committed
many breaches CT custom and gave
many affronts, he never apologized.
) Probably Bierce was more widely
known in the west than in the east,
although he lived and worked on the
Atlantic side during his best period
Of production. He made no friends
among the literati, and was constant
ly finding fault with them in public
print. He thought nothing Of cruci-
flying popular idol. If anybody
wrote about war, for example. he was
pretty sure to be challenged by Bierce,
who was deeply versed in army af-
fairs, not only having been a military
engineer with General Thomas. but
having the whole theory and practice
Of modern warfare at his fingers ends.
There is no doubt that to Biefce, as q
member Of General Villas staff, the
constitutionalists owe not a little Of
their success.
Bierce, who was Of New England
parentage, was in Ohio when the civil
war began. He enlisted for the north

When his book "Tales of Soldiers
and Civilians was published in the
later 'SOs it was pounced upon by re-
viewers, who declared it to be more
narrowing than Poe; but at the same
time the style was recognized as that
of master. "a Son of the Gods,'
one Of the stories in this book, is fair
lly representative. A young officer
whose division is halted at the edge
of a wood to spare the lives of the
lskirmishers rides forward alone to
the crest Of bare bridge, to make
the enemy disclose himself. He then
rides on in storm Of rifle fire.
The dust drifts away Incredible!
That enchanted horse and rider have
passed ravine and are climbing an
other slope to unveil another con-
spiracy Of silence, to thwart the will
Iof another armed host Another mo-
ment and that crest, too, is in erup-
tion. The horse rears and strikes the

straight above his head. His face IS
toward us. Now he lowers his hand
to a level with his face and moves it
outward, the blade Of the saber de-
scribing a downward curve. 1t is a
sign to US, to the world, to posterity.
1t is hero's salute to death and his
toryl
Again the spell is broken. Our men
attempt to cheer; they are choking
with emotion; they utter hoarse, dis
cordant cries; they clutch their wea-
pens and press unanimously forward
into the open. The skirmishers, with
out orders, against orders, are going
forward at keen run, like hounds
un1eashed.
In the end, Of course, the young
hero is slain. but the inspiration of
his deed leads his comrades to vic
tory.
In his next volume of tales. "Can
Such Things Be?" Bierce appeared as
the most distinctive exponent of the
supernatural and terrible the world
has ever seen in literature. You may
search Poe through and never find
such riotous imagination as is reveal
ed in "The Damned Thing" "Moxon's
Master and "The Middle Toe of the
Right Foot"
Bierce was ever fighter, in civic
life as in war.
The bitterest Of all his journalistic
battles was waged against Coils P.
Huntington, who in 1896 was conduct
ing powerful lobby at Washington
to pass his refunding bill, releasing
him and his associates of the Central
Pacific railroad from their obligations
to the government. Bierce went to
washington. A newspaper man said
to Huntington, "Bierce is in town."
"How much does he want2" cynical
" asked Huntington.
The remark was reported to Bierce
please go hack and tell him." said
that journalist, that my price Is rs
million dollars. If when he is ready
to pay happen to be out of town he
may hand 1t to my friend, the treas
urer of the United States"
This 75 million dollars was the
amount claimed by the government
from the Central Pacific.
Huntington was defeated and the
money was paid into the treasury. TO
Bierce was given much Of the credit
for the successful campaign made
against the great railroad man.
