CAPTURES BOOK
(From Saturday's Daily Arrow)
Rev. Pearson, Presbyterian preach-
er at Barber, and well known among
the church workers of the county,
captured several quarts of whiskey
the first of the week In a manner
that would cuse many enforcement
ofTicers to turn green with envy.
Mr. Pearson, late at night, was
awakened from his slumbers by a
loud knocking on the door at hit
home and upon opening the same
found a thinly clad man, shivering
from cold, standing before him. The
stranger stated that he had beer
sleeping in the barn but was numb
from cold and asked permission to
sleep in the house the balance of
the night. With pity in his heart
for the unfortunate man Mr. Pear-
son cheerfully granted the request,
stirring ami replenlshiag the fire
to make It comfortable. Returning
to the barn the thinly clad man
brought a suspicious looking grip
into the room depositing it in the
corner. After a few minutes' con-
versation tho stranger produced :
pint bottle of whiskey and invited
the Reverend to have a drink. Need-
less to say Mr. Pearson refused the
offer and after seeing the* stranger
to bed retired himself to awaken
the next morning for an Inspection
of the grip. While the visitor was
arranging his toilet for breakfast
Mr. Pearson opened the grip to find
several quart and pint bottles ol
whisky contained therein. Void of
firearms, Mr. Pearson hurriedly pro-
ceeded to the home ot a neighbor
and securing a shotgun returned
home just in time to see the stranger
departing, grip in hand, through the
front gate. Running out in the
vard Mr. Pearson brought the gun
"down on the gentleman and de-
manded that he drop his satchel.
The demand was immediately com-
plied with and the stranger hot-foot-
ed It up the road and disappeared.
Tho matter was immediately re-
ferred to the officials, but as the
stranger failed to give his name and
his face was not familiar in that
neighborhood his identity is not
known and no arrests have been
made.

tlie Moors into disorder with showers
of bombs.

battalion of infantry, four batterieg

tive auxiliaries.

signals, guided the Spanish troops
to where thousands of Moors were
concealed in the rough ground. A
heavy artillery fire was opened by
The Spaniards, but without effect.
Tho aviators then ascended to an
altitude out of rifle range and flew
directly over the places where the
Moors wero In the greatest num-
bers. Then came what the dispatch
to the Spanish war office describes
as a "veritable rain of bombs, toss
ed by the airmen into the midst ol
the Moors."
The Spanish infantry then charg
ed with bayonet and dislodged the
Moors from their positions, causing
them to flee In disorder, leavinr
large numbers of dead and woundec

"A short time ago I contracted
a severe cold which settled on ni>
lungs and caused me a grea'. deal
of annoyance. I would have bad
coughing spells and my lungs were
so sore and inflamed I began to be
seriously alarmed. A friend rec-
omended Chamberlain'.s Cough Rem-

years. I bought a bottle and it
relieved my cough the first night
and In a week 1 was rid of the cold
and soreness of my lungs,' writes

Cullen of the New York state court
of appeals. The justice will retire

quet given him by the Albany Coun
ty Bur Association.

responsible for many alleged mis-
carriages of justice for which the
bench was held responsible. In this
connection he called attention to
the Thaw case, saying tho "whole re-
sponsibility for the miscarriage of
justice in this case was due to the
action of the jury."

vorable to tho appointment, rather
than the election of judges.
