SALEM BAPTIST CHURCH

For more than year, there was a
controversy raging in and around
Salem Baptist Church, at 3Oth and La
Sale streets. 1t was before Judge
Ryner until on court days there was
no room in the corridors for anybody
except the waring members. The de-
cision Of the court did not stop the
warriors from keeping hatchets in
their sleeve instead of burying them,
and the result was a recent battle in
which one man had a rifle and a
dozen rounds Of cartridges and three
others had one-hand7guns, and Judge
Bugee was called upon to encourage
these people to call their dogs off.
He fined the gun toters $500 each
while the lady with the knife got off
at $l00 and costs.
The controversy is over the ques-
ton Of whether it should be one
preacher or the other Neither one
seems able to keep the peace among
his followers.

Tiny Republic Admitted
to United States in -

Indian Stream republic existed with
Tn the present boundaries OK the Unit
Cd States. Charles Parker or River
Falls Wis, a former lieutenant gov
arnor OF the state, was boy In the
tiny domain ruled by his father. The
republic endured more than a decade,
successfully defying both the United
States and Great Britain-an indie
pendent nation, with politicians mill
tin, civil rights and taxes.
In I788, when Great Britain and the
thirteen colonies signed the treaty
that created a new nation. they for
got a little valley tucked away In the
New Hampshire hills. In 1920 hand
full OF settlers In the valley woke up
to the fact that they were in no mans
land. They were not Americans. They
were not Canadians. Then Canada
interpreted the treaty OF 1888 to I'm
clude the territory In British domain.
America promptly said 1t belonged to
her. Then along came Luther Park
er, ADVENTURE and trader, who organ
ICED the settlers and set up govern
ment Of which he naturally was elect
ed head. The little valley govern
ment at once drew the fire Of both
Canada and the United States.
Matters came to a head in 1884
when group OF Canadian sympathiz-
ers ambushed Parker one night and
carried him across the border. The
trumped up charge against him was
soon dismissed and Parker returned
to Indian Stream. He circulated petit
lions asking admission into the state
Of New Hampshire on behalf Of the
republic. Parker went westward, and
was the first white settler where MIL
