THE HEROIC DEED OF "OLD
MAN" RICHARDS

One of the hottest Indian fights in
frontier history was the Battle Of
Adobe Walls in the Texas Panhandle
In 1874. The Adobe Walls consisted
of several huts, and two or three
stores surrounded by a stockade, and
1t was headquarters for a party of
hunters who killed buffaloes.
The Indians saw with dismay the
destruction caused by the white men.
They resolved to destroy the Adobe
Walls and kill the hunters before they
had wiped out the vast herds of bison.
Early on the morning of June 27 q
war party of Comanches, Kiowas and
Cheyennes, under the leadership of
Chief Quannah of the Comanches,
swept down upon the Adobe Walls. The
buffalo hunters were awake, however,
and as the Indians charged the white
men with their heavy Sharps buffalo
guns poured a deadly fire into their
midst. The Indians attacked again
and again, but each time they were
beaten back with heavy loss. Nor did
the hunters escape unframed.
Three of them were killed In the
FIRST attack, and In one of the stores a
young man named Thurston was shot
through the lungs. Presently his cry
of "Waterl Waterl' was heard above
the din of fighting.
The nearest water was so yards
away, where a pump stood In the un-

Richards. He heard young Thurston's
cry.

Richards, "Tll go fetch a bucketful."
He took a bucket and tossed II
through the window. A frightened dog
that had been hiding near by followed
him, whining. Indian bullets cut up
the ground all about them. The pump
was slow. 1t took two minutes to get
the water started from the sun
cracked spout. The pump was struck
a dozen times as Richards worked the
handle.
He pumped on without raising his
head. The dog was shot down at his
feet. A bullet tore his hat from his
head. Still he pumped on. At last
the bucket was filled. He picked
up his hat, placed it on his head, took
up the bucket and brought 1t back to
the store without spilling a drop.
There was not a scratch on him.
ITS sure some hot out there In the
SUM-" said "Old Man" Richards as he
gave the dying Thurston a drink.
Picking up his rifle, he took his post
at a window again without indicating
by word or act that he knew he had
just come out of the jaws of death.

CHURCH ROBBERS.

The world, the flesh, and the devil
are constantly hurting accusations at
the church, but they do not point you
to the real robbers. Would a man
rob God? No. But a Bolshevik, hypo-
critic and hereto would. They are
robbing the church every day. They
are using two great methods.
First They are sending their
agents, their railroads.&c. and Bolshe-
vistic heretics into the church. OF
course, they have to perjure them
selves and SINCE their own osuls in
order to get in. Then when they en-
ter the church their obligations, be-
gin, not to the church, but to the pre-
meditated conspirators against the
church. There isn't a hereto in the
church to-day who isn't the conscious
or unconscious agent of the conspir-
ators who are trying to rob the church
of her influence and power.
Heresy is not an intellectual evolu-
ton; it is an evidence of heart de-
generacy, and is absolute proof of the
total d~epravity of mankind. These
agents inside of the church preach
their false doctrines, not because they
believe them, but because they are
part of a conspiracy to destroy the
worlds confidence in the church. So
far as intent and purpose are con-
cerned, they are as black as Judas
Iscariot.

only on one Committee, the Poor Committee. Together with Council
man Edward Stephenson he formed a minority of two members
against five of the majority which gave him little chance except to
buck the opposition of a large majority.
When Council was reorganized the first of this year Peck was
placed as chairman of the important Finance Committee, and also
made chairman of the Street Committee. He is also a member of the
following committees: Lighting, Sewer, Public Property, Fire, Educa-
ton, Poor and Shade Tree Commission. 1t is a S chairman of the
Street Committee that Peck is kept busy this year. After his appoint
ment he started in to have the streets improved throughout the city.
During a deep snow storm he had the snow ploughs going to clear
the streets for traffic. Later he had his foreman repair several
streets that needed attention. He had Council purchase a tractor for
street work, which has proved its worth many times.
Peck is one of those fellows who works consistently for his con
stituents. Just now he is engaged, witt other members of the Light
ing Committee, in a redistribution of the street lights for better
illumination of the city at night. He is strongly in favor of the
memorial for the World War veterans, and hopes to see something
done in that matter during this year. He also hopes to see the Park
Avenue Drainage System installed at an early date. He is also work
ing to have Oakland avenue opened up to Main street.
His term in Council expires this year, and he is a candidate for
reelection to represent the Second Ward.

This caused the Peck family to

soon after that time that Peck

Mr.. Peck is connected with

are both in and out of the church.
Their method is to take from the
church for circular use every dollar
that they can possibly extract from
the members. They are constantly
devising schemes and plans and or

church member is relieved of his
money and is made to contribute to
organizations, methods, plans and pro-
grams, which are ~antagonistic to the
spiritual work of the church.

moneys contributed to these outside

Legion and Brig. Gen. Charles E. Saw
yer, personal physician TO President
Harding and chief eo-ordinator Of the
federal board Of disqualification. over
the construction Of hospitals for
World war veterans. came to a head
when in o letter. copy Of which
went to President Harding, the legion
called on General Sawyer to stand
aside and allow the program OF sSSe
veterans bureau to go into effect at

General Sawyer, close fliead of
the President, is charged with having
INSTRUCTED the program prepared b.
the veterans bureau for the erection
of hospitals to care for the 10000
mentally disabled veterans, for whom,
the legion declares. proper hospital
facilities are lacking.
The letter was signed by Col. A. A.
Sprague, chairman of the legion's ma
tional rehabilitation committee. Quoting
from a letter received from General
Sawyer, in which the chief co-ordi-
nator said, Il am convinced that the
peak of disqualification has been
passed" and that the government had
sufficient beds, except In two districts,
Colonel Sprague replied:
at is almost unbelievable that, hav-
ing satisfied congress that these hos
pitals were needed, and that they
should be built to capacity, we now
have to reply to your statement that
they are unnecessary. Sir, ask the
boys in the contract asy1ums and their
families, ask the men whose nerves
have been shattered by this war, who
have suffered for this lack of ade-
quate disqualification.
"The reply of the American legion
and every real American is, Give
these men the best care that medical
science can provide in government in5
stitutions maintained at the highest
standard of equipment and administra5
7tion-and near to their own homes so
that, if rehabilitated, they can be re-
turned to civil life with greater ease,
and if doomed to disqualification, they
can be nearer those whom they love
best
-Four years have already passed
and the veteran has not yet been pro
vided for. A belated program is now
being held up and changed. It is being
changed TO meet your approval.
Il appeal to you, sir, to stand aside
and allow this program of the veter-
ans bureau to go into effect and at
once"
