WHEN BEARCAT VENT DRY.

WHEN BEARCAT WENT DRY.
Charles Neville Buck, author Of
When Bearcat Went Dry" the SUI
per-feature which will be the attrac-
ton at the Orpheum theatre on Mon
day and Tuesday, began his literary
career in Louisville, Kentucky, as a
reporter on the Courier Journal
In order to while away time while
waiting to fulfill his assignments,
young Buck wrote fict on stories on
the back Of envelopes and slips of pa
pear. At night, when his newspaper
work was over, he would collect these
slips and put them together. The re-:
suit of these labors would be sent
away to magazines, and if one editor
turned them down away they would go
to another.
This persistence won out in the end.
Mr.. Bucks returns from his stories
became so remunerative that he quit
His newspaper job and took to fiction
seriously. He soon became the most
noted writer in this county who made
use of the mountains of eastern Ken
lucky as the background for stories
Of noonshiners, illicit stills, feuds and
feudists.
Having won a following, he then
began to write novels, of which he
has contributed nearly score to Am
erican literature. OF his novels two
of them have been made into plays
and eight into pictures.

THREE HEROES IN OLD TENTH
Tenth Cavalry, Troop A,

Tenth Cavalry, Troop A,
Fort Hauchuca, Arizona, April
10.-rhe Army and Navy Mag
azine states that two Lieutonants in
the 35th Infantry, white, have re-
ceived the Distinguished Service Cross
for vallantry in action in Nogales,
Arizona, On the 9th Of August, 1918.
Now l am sure that there are three
men in the Tenth Cavalry who are
worthy OF anything that the War De-
partment could give.
What arc thoy going to give Ser
geant Arthur T.. Greene, Sergeant
Frank XcrXes and Horseshoer Tur-
ner, all OF Troop A, Tenth Cavalry,
who when given orders which read
like this, by Captain .......: "Ser-
geant Greene, take these two men
and go up to that house on tho hill
and tell those men to cease firing
and come on down. They are some
Of our men,"
To obey these orders they had to
pass out through a barrage OF ma
chine gun and rifle fire, that I am
sure was as good IL not superior to
what the Huns put up over there, but
true to traditions, Sergeant Greene
led his section, three mon, on to tho
given place. After coming within 10
yards Of the house, Sergeant Greene
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1919-05-03

halted because he did not want to
run in and be shot by his own mon,
who were supposed to be in tho
house.
He yelled out two or three times,
'Who is that in thorc?" but received
no reply. He then asked, "Aro there
any Tenth Cayalrymcn in thcrc?"
Receiving no reply he said, Sergeant
NcrXcs, those arc Mcxicans in that
house shooting at us. Let us get
them. Follow me at intervals of five
yards between you"
Sergeant Greene was the first to
enter that house and there wcro three
McXicans in there with carbines
waiting for his men TO ntcr the trap
but tho daring nerve of these three
followers OF Crispus Attacks took all
the nerve OF The grcascrs or McNicans
and instead Of shooting, they all took
to nearby window. After giving
one OF them u chunk of lead in ihc
leg, Sergeant Greene got a dose of
his own medicine before he could re-
load his gun. Ho got about two
inches OF hot lead in his right Shout
der, but he had only one thought and
that was to get his men and thanks
to his untiring nerve, after being
wounded he stood up and shot tho man
who had shot him, while his other two
men were making five hits each on his
man.
There was a ring Of fire all around
this house and they found themselves
in pretty bad condition, trying to
defend themselves from the mad Mex
leans who were coming to avengc their
dead comrades, but thanks to tho
skilled craftsmanship of these three
men the Mexicans aro now resting
peacefully in tho clay.
Sergeant Greene was weak then from
loss Of blood WAS told or made to go
against his will by Sersuant Xerxes,
down to tho dressing station and get
his shoulder attended to, but was sent
to the base hospital and was annoyed
when tho doctor said. Sergeant, you
will have to stay in the hospital" But
he said, doctor, tho fight Is not over
yet. am going back and give those
Mexicans some more, then I will be
back later"
At this time Sergeant Greene's tenn
peraturc WIS 100 degrees but after tho
Doctor had assured him that tho fight
was over, he said, "Woll I will stay
hero until tho fight starts and then
back to tho firing line for me- But
as there was no more actual fighting
he stayed in tho hospital about seven
weeks. being nurscd by Miss Carrie
Headley.
Now, il they should not receive the
ID. S. c., who should? Well, Mr.. Scott
Mr.. Dubois and other people of in
flucnce, why not get together? / hope
the nation will give equal rights to
all.
