THE Chinese. though peaceful by
nature, have not failed to learn the i'm :
portance and wisdom of military pre-
paredness. Their experience in TIE last
seventy years of Intercourse with the

spectacle in Europe, has convinced
them that the day of universal peace
on earth still belongs to the dim future
and that until powerful nations recog-
niZe the righteousness and observe the
duty of refraining from aggression on
an unarmed country the only way to
have peace is to be prepared for war.

Rejects Idea of Lynching.

HIAWASSEE, Ga, January 29.-The
three men who took Jake Barring. a
white man. from the Jail here and told
Sheriff Frank Foster they intended to
lynch him were Baring's friends. in the
opinion of Town Marshal A. T. Barns.
Barns stated today that the theory Of
lynching had been abandoned and that
officers including Sheriff Foster, were
out looking for Barring.
Three men rode up to the jail Thurs
dav night on horses. covered Sheriff
Foster with their guns when he came
to the door. got Barring and rode off
into the mountains with him.. Mar
shall Barns said. The proceeding did
not bear evidence of lynchins party.
and we are looking for Barring rather
than his body. The men just wanted to
throw US off the track by their state
ment that they would lynch the pris-
oner.'

sTOLE LOAD OF HAY

Some time Thursday night, some
miscreant drove a wagon up to the
barn of Lawrence Lee. on North
Third Avenue, and calmly loaded
about thirty bales of Mr. Lees hay
into his wagon and got off with it.
The theft was discovered Friday
morning. and Officer Voyles went to
investigate. Wagon tracks were
found. and the hay was seen to be
missing, but no clues to the guilty
parties were obtainable.

It. II don't know" he replied slow
ly. you see, couldn't always tell.
Sometimes when a batch of us met q
gang of them we just had scramble
fight. When there were four or five
or more shooting on each side I
could not tell when some of them fell
whether | had hit or not. But it
wasn't that many"
Some of the individuals who met
their ends at the hands Of Bill Col
bert were: Jackson Fletcher, Wash
Bruner and Scar-Faced Jim, Pony
Bill, Babe Mahardy and Die Glass.
Jackson Fletcher was murderer
wanted for the killing of a travelling
photographer named Stapleton. Bill
met Fletcher near Boggy Depot. in
ed with posses, armed with rifle and
revolver and backed with warrants
of the Federal Court. Whisky ped
dlers, horsethieves, highwaymen and
murderers were the quarry. Indi-
vidually and in gangs they hunted
for twelve wears and during that
time Bill had part in most of the
Atoka County, and killed him in the
fight that followed. Mulbert Nelson
and Isom Carnie were wanted also
for parts in the Stapleton murder
and were captured by Colbert and
died in prison.
Working under United States Dep
uty Marshall Bill Mccall, Colbert
was in the fight with the Gordon
gang at Brunertown, when Mccall
and Wash BrUner were killed. Other
gangs broken up by the deputies
with whom Colbert worked were the
Jim Lee bunch that operated around
! FL Reno. the jim Plunkett gang of
the Lehigh country, the Bill Wade
gang of Muskogee and the Usage
Hills.
After years of work under the Fort
Smith court Colbert went to Paris,
Texas, and worked out of the Fed
eral Court there for nearly eight
years.
When he grew old he came to what
is now Oklahoma and became a far
Imer. The white men will tell you
! that / was a goOd man, Bill uecler-
ed II could always borrow woney
when | needed it, because all the
white men in the country knew that
wouldn't do anything wrong If
was freed and could go back to farm
ing l could borrow enough money
from white men around here to get a
good start" he asserted.
About ten years ago Bill was
farming near Anderson, east OF Nc
Alester He had family consisting
of wife. daughter and several sons.
A robbery was committed and Bill
was arrested. There was no killing
in the robbery.
Bill says that a relative committed
the robbery and confessed to him
''But l couldn't let him go to prison
for it," the old man declared.
1t is said that the only thing that
keeps Bill from obtaining his liberty
is the objection of his wife, who AYERS
that she is afraid he will kill her il
given the opportunity. Bill says
however, that he would let her en-
tirely alone.
