AFTER THE WAR
(By Kenneth l.. Roberts)

Plying their nightsticks freely, q
squad of policemen forced their way
through bowling, shrieking mob
dragging their prisoner with them
Fists were brandished wildly, canes
and umbrellas ratified on the police
mems helmets, and an occasional
brick whistled past the ear of the
covering, pallid creature in their
clutches.
The reporter spied the tumult from
afar, and bore down on the mob at
full speed.
Whats the the excitement?" he in.
quired, placing his hand on the arm of
an enraged citizen who was making

prisoner. What did the man do? Is

The enraged citizen wrenched him.
self free from the reporters grip and
hurled the beer bottle ferociously.
Kill him." he howled. Kill HIM"
Struggling his shoulders, the re-
porter pushed his way deeper into
the press. What did the man do?"
he asked an elderly gentleman with
white mutton-chop whiskers, who was
making determined but futile at.
tempts to hit the prisoner on the
head with a. gold-headed cane. "Was
he caught setting fire to a depart.
ment store or planting bomb in the
railroad station?"
Worse than that" exclaimed the
elderly gentleman hoarsely Stand
back and give me showroom! | want
just one swing at this loathsome
thing"
Realizing the futility of questioning
the elderly gentleman further. the re.
porter pressed on until he reached
one of the policemen.
What is it? Murder?" he asked
hopefully displaying his reporters
badge.
"Naw!" replied the policeman, sur
reptitiously prodding the covering

DESIRE TO SEE HIS WIFE
AND BABY CAUSES YOUNG
SOLDIER TO DESERT
(St. Petersburg Independent

(St. Petersburg Independent
Love for his young wife and baby
caused Corporal Bunyon Kilgore' II
wears old, to desert his command al
Camp Wheeler and come to st, re-
tersburg to see them, according to
Kilgore's statement to an independ-
ent reporter at the city jail, Where
kilgore is held as deserter from tne
army.
Kilgore was arrested last night by
Deputy Constable Strickland on IN
formation conveyed in telegram
from Capt. A. E. Wright at Camp
Wheeler, requesting his arrest.
Kilgore claims to have been cor
poral in Georgia company, and says
his wife and 3-year-old child are liv
ing on Seventh street in this city
In voice choked with emotion
and with tears in his eyes, kilgore
admitted having deserted from his
command, saying he knew it was
wrong, but that he could not resist
the great temptation to see his wife
and baby again and to be with them
little while before being called to
foreign service.
II just kept thinking and studying
about them" said Kilgore, alluding to
his wife and baby, "and wanting to
see them until | just had to see them
again. I could not get leave so 'came
away anyhow. knew it was wrong
and | am anxious to fight for my
country, but | just couldn't help it.
1t is the old, sad story, so familiar
in all war times, of the battle be-
tween love and duty, and love won,
even though it involves disgrace and
severe punishment.
Kilgore is brother-in-law of G. l..
Hart, street car conductor, living
or Seventh street. Mrs. Kilgore and
baby came here to live with her
brother after Kilgore had joined the
army. Hart did not know that Kill.
gore was in ST. Petersburg until yes
4terday morning when he saw Kilgore
OH Central avenue He said nothing
to anybody, but wired to the officer in
command of Kilgore's company. Last
night Kilgore went to the Hart home
to see Mrs. Kilgore and the baby. So
far as Hart knows this was the first
time Kilgore had been to see his wife
and child, but it is likely that he
has been seeing them frequently dur
ing the three weeks he has been in
this city. When Hart found Kilgore
was at the house, Deputy Constable
Strickland was called and went to
the house to make the arrest of the
deserter.
Strickland had lively fight before
Kilgore was in custody. Mrs. Kilgore
interfered with Strickland and fought
him in an effort to allow her husband
to get away while the officer was de-
tanned. Finally she fell over chair
and called out that she was being
killed. Kilgore then forgot his de-
sire to escape and ran into the rbom
where the constable and Mrs. Kilgore
were struggling. He went to the
help of his wife and had a big knife
in his hand. Strickland pulled his re-
Fvolver and covered the deserter. Or
dering him to drop the knife which
ne did. Kilgore then was taken to
Jail.
Desertion in time of war is seri-
GUS offense and is punishable by n
long term in prison. Kilgore likelv
will be taken to Fort Dade to be held
until he is taken back to Camp Wheel
er to face a court martial.

GIVE YOUR STOMACH
A MAGNESIA BATH
| Wonderful Treatment For Dys-
pepsia, Indigestion and Sour,
Upset Stomach

No man or woman VINO suffers from
acid indigestion or dyspepsia can ma Ike
a mistake by giving their stomach an
occasional internal bath with little
bisurated magn esia, says well known
authority. Ninety per cent Of all diges-
tive disorders are caused by "acid stom
ach." Nature provides hydrochloric
acid as one of the digestive fluids but
a great many stomachs generate too
much acid which irritates and inflames
the stomach walls and causes partially
dgeSted food to sour and ferment
Thus the stomach while fundamentally
all right develops gas. wind and the
pain commonly mistaken for indiges-
ton.
This harmful. poisonous excess acid
in the stomach should be neutralized
before 1t works its way into the blood
and Is carried all over the body. The
moment your stomach burns or feels
sour or the food you eat begins to hurt
get few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia
from any reliable druggist and take a
teaspoonful in little water. Relief
comes in five minutes by the watch.
The Bisurated Magnesia washes down
into your acid-infiamed and burning
stomach and soothes and cools the
heated walls and takes up or neutral
ICES every trace of excess acid present
much as piece of blotting paper or
sponge might do. Every symptom of
stomach distress vanishes and natural,
easy. painless digestion follows.
