local policeman, sensing trouble,
rescued him from the crowd and es-

at Prayers request The crowd then
dispersed. Meanwhile, on order OF
Mayor Siegel, all saloons were
closed.
About II O'Clock the men gather

manded that Prayer be released to

licemen barred their entrance to the
hall, the mayor appealing to them to

Siegel parried for time, and when
he was assured that Prayer had been
spirited away. he allowed a commit

According to testimony given at
the coponer's inquest by Joseph Rie-

Jail and finding no one there, went
into the basement. Within few
moments Prayer was found hiding
under pile of tiling. He was
dragged out and delivered to the

BENNOTT WRITES LETTER
 FROM THE FIRING LINE

$. D. Stewart received a very in teresting letter this week, dated July 20, from E. E. Bennott, who is now on the firing lne. He said in part: "OEAR SCOTTIE:
 T am writing you from my head quarters on the firing line. The Ger mans gave us a nice reception when we landed, as they were shelling the station at that time, but their aim was very bad, 50 there was no harm done. In fact, I am watching shells all around me as I am writing this. A piece of shell landed in Cornelius plate while he was eating breakfast this morning and all the harm it did was to break one of the hardtack bis cults we had to eat.
 We are holding the record for get ting 10 the line, as we have been only about a week in France and here we are.
 We have got them going and we will keep them there. You should be proud of being an American citizen. We can beat any nation in the world at theil own game. The sight here is wonder, ful. You go to bed by the music o1 the shells and wake up by the music of the airplanes. I just came from wis iting a German plane that is lying g wreck near where we are camped'

AS A PAPER "OVER
 THERE" SEES THINGS

The official A. E. F. paper, pub lished for the boys across the water is the "Stars and Stripes" a copy of which we just received, dated July 26. It is full of live reading matter and is especially interesting because it is printed in France TOT the boys who are in the fight, and is written up largely from their point of view. Be- low are some excerpts from it.
 Burly, dirty, whiskered, all in, but enthusiastic, a sergeant recounted the exploits of his platoon to his colonel.
 His was a tale of the Boche infan- try met and beaten, of machine gun nests cleaned up at the point of the bayonet, of Germans killed and Ger mans captured.
 Makes a fellow feel pretty good, doesn't it observed the colonel.
 "Yes, and it makes a fellow feel pretty glad that he's on this side, too, sir" said the sergeant.
 One burly and bristling example of German militarism with captains knots on his shoulders and an iron cross on his chest was included in a recent bag of prisoners. He was in dignant, to say the least, at the time of his capture, and the mood intensi- fled as he was marched back to the in- telijgence officer.
 1 He hadn't heard the questioning of- ficer speak more than five words of German before he burst into the con versation.
 "Do you allow privates to call off cers by their first names in this army he demanded witheringly.
 "Why?" asked the officer.
 "Well, this pig" said the boche, "called me Heinie every time he ad- dressed me-"
 A German lieutenant came before the officer who was listing and tag ging prisoners.
 "What's your name?" he was asked , Johannes Jacobi." "Any relation to- Wilhelm Jacobi 2 dSh0C Illc AIllcllCdu OlllCCIs : "A brother" said the boche in sur prise. Well, if you look around when yor get there, you'll find him in the pris
