MAJOR B1ERcE HEARD FROM.
Missing American Soldier Is Fighting
with the Allies.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, April 3. =
Major Ambrose Bierce, the author and
journalist, who has been sought by his
family for over year, has been found.
The mystery of his disappearance was
cleared up yesterday by the receipt of
a letter from him by his daughter,
Mrs. Helen Cowden of this city
This brought the surprising informa-
ton that her. father was member OF
the staff of Lord Kitchener and was
fighting for the allies in Europe. He
left Mexico early last fall and has
since been actively engaged at the
front in France. Major Bierce wrote
that he had escaped injury and was
in good health.
| The state department. in Washing
ton has been engaged since last fall il
trying to find Major Bieree in Mexico
He was thought to have been murdered
there while procuring material for
book on conditions in Mexico.
Major Bierce is 70 years old, a ma
tive of Ohio, and veteran of the Civ
IL war. For years he was widely known
as an editor and special writer 70
publications in San Francisco and 9th
e. cities.

JOHNSON MONEY PLENTIFUL.
Backers of willard, However, Insist
They Should Be Given Odds.

HAVANA, April 3. = Jack Welsh,
who will referee the fight Monday be-
tween Jack Johnson and Jeff Willard
for the world s heavy weight cham
pionship, landed here early today.
Weather conditions today were the
best for training purposes in a week.
1t was clear and cool and both men
were on the road early for final run.
A big line formed in front of the
ticket windows before the box office
was opened. There is little change in
the betting situation. johnson money
is plentiful, but betters on the negro
are unwilling to give odds.
Willard S adherents contend they
should get at least to 5. A report
last night said Willard had become 9
! 6 to 5 favorite. There was a wild
scramble to ascertain the truth and il
was found wager at these odds had
been posted by some admirers of the
white man.

became known that Rear Admiral
Bradley A. Fiske, aid for operations in
the navy department, had asked to
be relieved from that position and as
signed to duty elsewhere. He gave no
reason for his resignation, but, accord
ing to the talk in naval circles, Admir-
al Fiske wished to be relieved because
he did not agree with the present poll
cies of the department.
AS aid to operations, Admiral Fiske
has held the most important profess
sional position in the service and has
been the senior member of the advis-
ers who form a sort of cabinet of the
secretary of the navy. It was gather
ed that he was ont of sympathy with
the policies he was intrusted with ad
ministering and felt that he could not
consistently remain in the department
Admiral Fiske told the house naval
committee that the feet was not pre-
pared for war, and expressed the view
that it could not be made ready in less
than five years. 1t was reported at the
time that Admiral Fiskes views hat
not pleased superior officers, who as
serted that the fleet was in a state OF
efficiency.

WEST DUMMERSTON.
Concert Greatly Enjoyed.

The Old Time Tunes concert, given
by a large number of West Brattlaboro
people in Grange hall Thursday even
ing, was treat which the people of
West Dummerston rarely have such an
opportunity to hear, for too much
could not be said in regard to the
singing, as from start to finish no flaw
could be found. Mr.. Knight and his
little song, A Long Way from Lon
donderry, caused great deal of merri-
ment. 1t was regretted by many of
the townspeople that SO many were i'll
with hard colds and were unable to at
tend. The supper given by the Ladies
Aid society was well patronized and a
good sum of money was added to the
treasury.

CONSIDERING BALL FIELD,
Continued from Page IL

tion the association would have the re
ceipts from the privileges, but against
this would be thecost of keeping the
grounds in condition and the providing
of ticketsellers and takers and po-
Icing the grounds, and the latter would
be some problem.
Then, too, all agree there would be
some falling off in attendance, owing
to the extra distance from the business
section of the town, but those in favor
argue that there would be no addition
al expense TO patrons of the games
with an admission fee of % cents as
the other 10 cents could be spent for
carfare instead of being charged at
the gate as at Island Park.
There appears to be wide room for
doubt as TO where anything would be
saved in moving the grounds to the
fairgrounds, for while plainly there
should be no such expense as $500
for grounds there would be no increase
| in the receipts of the club as a result,
for the net receipts per spectator
would be the same 70 the association
In either case, except possibly such re-
| served seat tickets as were sold. In
| the case at Island Park the additional
cost of such seats goes to the park
management and at the fair grounds If
would 60 to the association. But, tc
| offset that, there would be the expense
for ground keeping and employees.
1t will be well worth while for the
4 directors to consider this matter from
all angles and then determine wheth

Appointed Fire Police.

The village commissioners in the
special meeting last evening closed a
contract with F. A. Larrow for some
of the work of sprinkling the streets
of the village during the summer sea
son. Last year the Crystal Springs
Co. had the entire contract, but this
year the commissioners decided to give
Mr.. Larrow some of the work.
Rexford Benson, a member of the
fire department, was appointed a spe,
cial police officer for duty at fires. Two
weeks ago tomorrow, on the occasion
of the alarm of fire on South Main
street, score of people considered the
automobile truck as a vehicle built fol-
their personal transportation returning
from the fire. The members of the de
partment failed to enforce their au
thority to keep outsiders off the truck
with the exception Of Mr.. Benson, anC
the commissioners decided to give hin
additional powers.
