HORSEMEN
BATTLE AT BRITISH

battle that will ring through his
tory as one Of the bloodiest for these
parts was staged last Monday after
noon in the village of British Hollow,
ten miles south of Lancaster.
1t seems that a gang of horse trad
ers camped near British and traded
horses during the morning taking in
particular one fancy critter. In the
afternoon tae horSemen consisting of
the three Atwell brothers, William,
Dick and Chas., and brother-in-law
whose name is not known but who
figures in the story, adjourned to
barney Honerbaum's saloon for
little smile and talk. The smiles ev-
identity were more than one as the
three brothers began to quarrel over
the aforesaid horse, and soon to fight
Beer and whiSkey bottles began to
fly and monkey wrench came in as
handy bludgeon. The brother-in-
law endeavored to quell the disturb
ance and was also used up. The men
fought for some time and as no end
seemed in sight call Yves sent to
Lancaster for aid. Sheriff Hymer and
Chief Joe Keene motOred south ar
irving after the smoke had cleared.
Three of the men were present with
their many wounds. Dick Atwell had
skipped but after some tracing was
located at Injun creek several miles
south. Two of the men, William and
Dick, were brought here Monday ev-
ening and fined 500 apiece. Charles
and the brother-in-law, were to be
brought in yesterday but the prob
abilities are that they flew out of the
county.
The men travel with their families
and have Davenport as their perma-
nent home. Joe Keene describes their
cuts and wounds as something appal-
ling.

the state draft administration to the
local boards to distribute the ques-
tionnaires at once tc all men of Is

inclusive and of 80 to SO inclusive.

the local boards in the state except

THE GREAT MORAL CONQUEST.

A few months ago we were assured
on excellent authority that all the
bitterest hatred of the Germans was
concentrated upon President Wilson.
They had believed themselves in
fair way of winning the war. Then
on the initiative of Present Wilson
America interviewed. not only with
money and men, but with a program
of war aims more impossible to rec
oncile with German hopes and ambi-
tions than any program that had been
promulgated by the allies. No CEN
trail European imperial unit; no ag-
grandizement at the expense of Rus
STA; free and united Poland; justice
to the oppressed nationalities of Aus
ria-Hungary; Alsace-Lorraine to be
thrown into the peace conference for
final disposition; characterization of
Germany These were the insults
and injuries President Wilson hurl-
ed at imperial Germany in the height
of her military pride. They remain
the elements of this program. And
vet now the German government has
to take steps to popularize President
Wilson among the people who have
been taught to execrate him. The
presidents speech OF Sept. ~ mas
been published in the newspapers
with the tip that comment had best
find it quite compatible with the Ger
man view. The junkers and Pam
Germans growl, but everybody else is
under compulsion to cooperate with
the new government in effect.-g the
moral conquest Of Germany by Pres
ident Wilson.-The New Republic.

LETTER FROM SERGT. HALFERTY.

who he was. He used to live in Lam
caster and now holds the rank of
major. His name is Ted Lowry. /
hardly knew him when he first came
in but we weren't long in getting ac-
quainted. Think of it, a major com
ing in to find a poor little insignif-
cant sergeant. Old home ties bind
people together no matter what the
position in life may be. I gave him a
cigaret and then we sat down and
talked for fifteen minutes or so.
told him who enlisted from Lancas-
ter and where they are now He
said Mr.. Meyer had asked him to look
me up if he had the chance, so pre-
sumo it was through him that Major
Lowry found me. I certainly was
glad to see him and told him so frank
ly. | wrote and told Mr.. Meyer all
about it, for I think he will be inter-
ested to know it.
When you get the "Stars and
Stripes" every week you will know
I am all right, so don't feel badly dis
appointed if you don't get a letter
every seven days. There is one fell
low in our company who seldom
writes home and doesn't receive many
letters either. He is a dandy fellow,
too. When someone asks him why
he doesn't write he says, "Oh we'll,
they know am all right and know
they're all right so what's the user
I am very much alive and can boast
of little more flesh than I could
when left home. Am glad that
