See, A Pioneer,
Tells Oh BloOdless Battle

Solomon See, a pioneer of Mont
gomery County, who resides in this
city, has many interesting historical
anecdotes of this section of Missouri
and called at the Ledger office Tues
day to tell of a recruiting plan for
General Prices forces that was start
ed here and ended in a bloodless bat
tie at Fulton,
Mr.. See says it was in 1861 that
word was received at Montgomery
City that the Federal Dutch troops
from Hannibal weremarching on Mex
leo. killing women and children, and a
wire from Mexico appealed to Mont
gomery to send men to aid in keeping
this force away. He was one OF a
hundred men from that place to start
here. The call, it later developed, was
sent by John and Daniel Bryant and
John Powell, with a view of securing
a company of men to join the forces
of General Sterling Price.
When the Montgomery contingent
reached this city they were sent to
the old Playground, which was located
near the east end Of what is now Love
street. There they were given
whiskey and food and found several
hundred other men gathered who had
responded to a similar call for ASSIST

THE SERVICE IDEA MADE PLAIN
The Storage Battery is the Electric
Heart of the Car-Service that
I. Keeps it at its Highest
/. Efficiency.

He had just bought a new car, and
at the suggestion Of the automobile
dealer drove over to the Prest-O-Lte
Service Station at Sunnen Motor Co.,
for the "initial test" Of his storage
battery.
what does all this much-advertised
Prest-O-Lite service amount to-" he
asked Mr.. Mayhem, the manager, as
it straight stuff, ar is it simply a sell
.lg arf ument 70 batte-ies?"
Straight stuff" echoed Mr.. May
h.w. an say it's straight stuff.
HTcss-C- Lite service is as real as the
Frcst-C-Lite storage battery, and it
is inseparable from it. You have
an example of it beginning right now
in the initial test, which guarantees
that your car will be started out
right. We test the battery, check up
the electrical wiring of the car, and
see if the generator charging rate is
too high. If the battery is partially
discharged on account of the cars
standing idle in the Showroom, or
through delay in transit, we give it a
freshening charge and lend you a ser
vice battery while we are doing it.
There is no cost to that service.
Neither is there any charge for test
ing your battery and adding distilled
water when it's necessary. The Prest-
O-Lite people know that the perform
ance of any storage battery depends on
intelligent treatment, and Prest-O-Lite
Service is here to make sure that the
battery makes good.
Public utilities are made valuable
rs much from the highly organized
service back of them as from their
construction features, and this is
much the same with storage batteries.
When you call one number and get
another; when you're told your phone
ct home has been discontinued and you
know it hasn't you don't blame the
mechanical parts Of the instrument or
puzzle your head about them-you
look to the service department.
"If your gas grows dim, you call on
the Gas Company because for years
they've adjusted your meter and look
cd after your lights. You don't dig
into the mysteries of scientific plumb
ing.
Now Prest-O-Lite Storage Battery
Service is something to which you are
entitled just as much as to telephone
gas, or any other service, which you
take for granted. 1t covers the coun-
try and is governed by ideals that are
just a high as the quality of the bat
terry itself. As to it's being a selling
argument for Prest-O-Lite Storage
Batteries, Of course it Is. A good
product plus good business methods
equals success, and this is why the
Prest-O-Lite Company has the fastest
growing storage battery business in
/ America" d&w1t

The men were organized into a COM
pany and started marching toward
Fulton when they found the Dutch
troops were not coming. Mr.. See, when
he learned the report was a hoax, re-
turned home, was arrested by Illinois
Federal troops and later released,
However the forces that marched to-
ward Fulton reached that city shortly
before a contingent of Federal troops
from jefferson City sent to halt them,
The men under the two Bryants and
Tohn Powell ranged themselves in an
ambush of hazel brush and waited for
the Federals. When the latter ap-
peared they fired and then ran. The
Federals returned the fire and ran
also. No one on either side was in
jured and the company from Mexico
hurried home by various routes while
the Federals returned to jefferson
City.
The Bryants and Powell were short
ly afterward apprehended and shot.
When killed Daniel Bryant had $500
in gold secreted about his person. Mr..
See said the affair created great ex-
element at the time but in the later
and bloodier developments of the war
was soon forgotten.

Bob would never have let any one lay
a hand on him. When they passed
a person on the street it was BOb's
unfailing custom to keep himself be-
tween the stranger and his master,
never allowing for a second a situa-
ton to arise in which Mr.. Flittner
might be taken advantage of.
Bob Seemed to know when Mr..
Flittner started out on his beat in
the evening; for, without being
spoken to, he would always come
from wherever he might be and go
along with him. But no matter how
many times his master left the house
during the day, before time to start
to work, the dog never made any pre-
tense to follow him. 1t was really
ritiful, the former night Waterman
says, when he quit serving on the
police force and Bob began to realize
he was out of a job. The first night
that Mr.. Flittner failed to start out
al the usual time Bob grew very rest
less and acted as though he could not
be content unless he went about his
business. He, of course, did not un-
dcrstand that he and his master had
resigned. AS the days passed and
Mr.. Flittner still failed to take Bob
back to his old night haunts the dog
grew more and more dissatisfied and
when he finally realized that he was
nothing more than a play-thing for
the children about the house he ran
away and came back ito the city hail.
where he managed to stage a few
fights with loafers of his own species.
Some few days later his original mas
ter CHANGED to see him<on the street
and asked permission to take him
back to his home again.
So Bob is once more just a watch
dog, and although he makes a good
one the chances are he feels his life
a wasted one. He was decidedly in
his element when he was on the Mex
leo police force. He enjoyed his work
and gloried in his search for providers
and law breakers. He is a dog of
wonderful possibilities, if one may
take as 'boni ide" the opinion Of his
devoted and erstwhle trainer and
master, Mr.. Flittner, which may per
haps be a trife prejudiced on account
of the great personal attachment he
feels for the dog that grew to be a
real companion to him. If that is
really the case then one might judge
that Bob is right in feeling that he is
burying his talents in the front yard
in Mexico, with nothing more to dc
than to keep away the a~ll-too-few (ir
his estimation) would-be burglars.
