Some excitement on Wednesday
morning, shortly before the noon
hour, when Russell Pierce, of near
Liberty Grove, appeared in town
without hat or coat, acting in Pc
culiar manner. Pierce appeared to
oe obssssed with the idea that some
one was in pursuit of him.
He ran into the kitchen of the
home of Edwin Haines. and down
into the cellar.
Harry Burkins who had observed
Pierce's peculiar actions as he eros
sed the Pogue & Robertson lot, called
the Motor Officer and together they
entered the cellar.
Pierce appeared to be trying to
hide, offered no resistance. He was
placed in the town lookup until rel
atiwes came to make provision for
his removal to an institution.
Pierce saw service in the World
War, where he was gassed, and
since has been subject to periodic
hallucinations.
