HILL TUPPERS PLAINS- Ambrose G. Bierce t}842-1914) led the varied !ife of a newspaperman, short story writer, wit, satiiist and soldier. Born in Meigs County, Bierce grew to manhood in Kosciusko, Indiana, and, after serving in the Civil War, moved with his wife to England where he \\Tote for the English magazines "Fun," and "Figaro." In 1877 he became associate editor of the San Francisco Argonaut. He subsequently served as editor for the San francisco Wasp five years, then in 1887, joined the staff of the San Francisco Examiner, a publication which enjoyed his services for the next 20 years. In 1913 he gave up his writing career to join the forces of Pancho Villa in Mexico. It is not known exactly when Bierce died. But the most reasonable conjectures locate his death during the siege at Ojinaga in January 1914. ( 1971 OHIO ALMANAC- Great Ohioans of the Past- page 293).

High School Inner Core ' Gilligan Weather Attack Pressed • Crisis ATHENS, Ohio (UPI)- Ohw University President Claude Sowle today called on Gov. John J. Gilligan to impose binding arbitration in a pay dispute with non-academic employes which threatens to shut down the University. Local 1699 of the American Federation of State, Municipal and County Employees, which represents 900 non-academic workers, is scheduled to take a strike vote tonight. A similar strike in 1967 closed down the university, which has an enrollment of 18,000, for 10 days. The central issue in the dispute is whether the employes can work their lunch period and collect overtime. The university contends the employes may work overtime but not uring the lunch period. Sowle, in a telegram to Gilligan, smd the situation on the OU campus is as serious as it was last spring when the 'icllool was shut down by student disorders. Sowle asked Gilligan to "take immediate steps" to appoint an arbitrator acceptable to both the university and the union and that his decision be binding. The union has asked the governor's office for help in the form of a mediator whose decision would not be binding. letters. Such pieces as "Horseman in the Sky" and "One of the Missing," will long be remembered as milestones in our literature, but still he wasn't satisfied. Men still ignored his teachings. Greatly discouraged, he went off to Mexko in 1913, at the age of 71, and was never heard of again. Some say he died before Panch Villa's firing squad, and others say he was killed in battle, but nobody knows for sure. And, although his fate is shrouded in mystery, one thing is certain; his high moral code and unswerving standards are still improving the lives of men today .... FROM PAGE 231: The following is the most dependable description of his (Bierce) death available: The following account of the death of Ambrose Bierce, the world famous author who was born near Bashan in Meigs County, in 1842, was published in San Francisco under the date of April 26 (1931). It is said to be the most authentic story of his tragic fate that has come up out of the mysterious regions of old Mexico, where this soldier of fortune made his last stand: (Contmued on page 8) The Daily Sentinel Pluto, the planet with the most eccentric orbit, has almost a 2 billion mile difference between its minimum and maximwn distances from the sun.

In September, 1861, he joined the Union Army as a drummer-boy. In time, he rose to the rank of lieutenant and when he was mustered out- a veteran of Shiloh, Chickamauga, and Missionary Ridge- he was still dissatisfied with the world, but his old idealism was gone, and in its place was a bitter cynicism. Bierce left the Midwest after the war to find new hope in California. He went to work for the San Francisco News Letter, writing for a column called the "town-erier" in which he merNO. 99, OHIO Was Like THAT, by Jim Baker (with cartoon cilessly roasted the lawless, the corrupt, and the stupidity of public manners and morals.

In 1913 the fiery author rode into Mexico and never the world steadily increased and finally appeared between the returned- there is no clue to give us a hint of how, where, or covers of his "Devil's Dictionary" for all to see. A typical definition of Bierce's idea of an April Fool: "the March fool adwhen the disillusioned perfectionist died .... Ambrose Bierce was born at Horse Cave Creek, Ohio, June 24, ding another month to his folly." By 1890 Bierce was the leading literary light of the west, 1842, one of 10 children living a none too easy life on a Meigs County farm. Ambrose grew up with a strong distaste for the having turned out some of the best short stories in American writer who predicted the end of the United States and the world, were told by "Myrtie" that Bierce probably was born in Tuppers Plains but she thought that he was born and lived in "Horse Cave" not very far away.

Lukens will hike prices $17 a ton effective March 1 for basic steel. The firm, fourth largest in the nation in the production of plate steel, cited increased costs of raw material and wages. Nixon's threat to remove restraints on foreign steel imports was his first to "jawbone" the industry into holding the line on prices. Nixon has criticized the practice in the past. The Western White House said that a "deeply concerned" Nixon had ordered an immediate study of all aspects of the economic effect of the steel hikes Collections of Sales Tax Off Sales tax collections were up and motor vehicle sales and use tax collections in Meigs County were down for the first six months of the new fiscal year compared to the same period last year.

Carter, 46, an Annapolis graduate and former nuclear submarine officer, won the office in a hard struggle against former Gov. Carl E. Sanders in the Democratic primary and Republican Hal Suit, a former television newscaster, in the general election. "At the end of a long campaign, I believe I know the people of our state as well as anyone," he said in a brief inaugural address. "Based on this knowledge ... I say to you quite frankly that the time for racial discrimination is over." "No poor, rural, weak or black person should ever have to bear the additional burden of being deprived of the opportunity of an education, a job or simple justice," he said. Three Actions Involve Divorce A divorce suit has been filed and two divorces granted in the Meigs County Common Pleas Court. Mary E. Rager, Middleport, has filed for divorce from George Lewis Rager, London, Ohio, charging gross neglect of duty . She asks custody of one minor child. Hattie Ridgway, on grounds of extreme cruelty, was granted a divorce from John H. Ridgway, Nancy Lorain Drake was granted a divorce from Larry Lee Drake on grounds of gross neglect of duty and extreme cruelty. The plaintiff in the latter case was restored the use of her maiden name, "Van Inwagen." Bids to air condition the center core that part ilnreacll.able with outside ventilatiOn -- in the new Me1gs High School will be accepted until Feb. 16. This was approved Tuesday night by the Meigs Local School District board of education in a regular meeting in Middleport. Frank W. Porter, the new president of the board, presided over a fast-moving session. Advertisements for bids are being prepared. In more routine business, the board added Mrs. Jill Carter, an elementary teacher, and Mrs. Rita Lewis, a business education instructor, to the list of approved subs.titut~s and accepted the res1gnat10n of Aaron Zahl. Zahl, who retired last spring, taught industrial arts at the high sehoul the first half of this school year. Supt. George Hargraves announced that, according to State Department of Education regulations, no teacher staff meetings car: be held m the future on school time. He also outlined the tax :>ituation of the Penn Central Railroad in Ohio. Litigation is continuing but the railroad has had its property holdings revaluated, leading to a revision downward from $174,000,000 to $78,000,000. Many counties in Ohio will be affected as a result of the revaluation in that incoming tax revenue will be decreased. The Meigs Local School District would lose $18,000 a year if the revaluation stands. However, Hargraves said, state founda lion funds will make up the local loss if it is determined that the revaluation is to stand. The board approved payment of sick leave to James Nicholson, a former bus driver of the former Western Local School District, now a part of the Meigs Local District. The matter has been under discussion several months. The decision to pay the sick leave a total of 86 112 days as certified by Supt. Robert Bowen of the Meigs County Schools Office followed recommendjtions in a letter from the Ohio Attorney General to Bernard Fultz, prosecutor. Hargraves and Larry Morrison, assistant superintendent, reviewed the completed foundation formula calculations which establish the nwnber of teachers to be employed in the district, subject to foundation funds. The financial report on the construction of the new high school- built at a cost in excess of $3 million - was accepted. A bond for the board clerk was approved from the V. D. Edwards Insurance Agency. Attending were Hargraves, Morrison, Clerk L. W. MeComas, and board members Porter, Don Mullen, Virgil King, Hiram Slawter and Joe Sayre. Appropriation Adopted A $491,08S.71 appropriations resolution for 1971 was adopted Tuesday night by the Eastern Local School District Board of Education. The breakdown of expenditures shows: Administration, $22,500; instruction, $277,450; auxiliary agencies, mainly transportation, $31,265; operation of school plants, $17,000; supplies, $37,000; maintenance materials, $5,150; equipment replacements, $18,300; contract and open order service, $18,995, and fixed charges $63,179.71. During the meeting at the Eastern High School the board created a full-time position for clerk C. 0. Newland, who in addition to serving as clerk, has been a bus driver in the district over 34 years. He will no longer drive a bus. Helen Blake was hired as a bus driver to replace Carolyn Ruth who resigned after moving out of the district, and Ronald Eastman was hired to replace Newland as a bus driver. The resignation of Lawrence Rose from the teaching staff of Riverview School was accepted and Fred Kessinger of Middleport was named to fill the vacancy. Added to the list of substitute teachers were Rita Lewis, business education, and Jill Carter, an elementary tearher. The board gave pay increases to all non-eertified personnel in accordance with federal wage laws, to go into effect Feb. 1. Cooks , custodians and the secretary were given an increase of 15 cents an hour, bus drivers a flat rate of $100 increase on the school year, and the bus mechanic was a flat yearly increase of $160 per school year. It was voted to have another phone line brought into the school. The superintendent's and the principal's offices are now on the same line. The new line will provide a separate phone in the superintendent's office so that both administrators will be more accessible by phone. Three representatives from the Eastern Chapter of the Ohio Association of School Employes attended. The board voted to recognize the chapter as the off i c a I r e pre s e n t a t i v e organization of non-certified employes. Representing the chapter were Oscar Pennington, Charles Bissell and Paul Baer. James Stout of the Tuppers Plains Boosters Club thanked the board for improvements at the Tuppers Plains School and requested further improved heating facilities there. Two Chester PTA members were visitors. Attending the session were Newland, the clerk; Supt. John Riebel, Assistant Supt. Bobby Ord, and Board Members Oris Smith, I. 0.

Edmund Muskie is already beginning to convert his m_uchproclaimed lead into the hard currency of commttted support in many places. The states I sampled were New York. ~ew _Je~sey. West Virginia, Virginia, Al~bama, Texas, Oh10, MIChigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missoun. South Dakota, Utah, Oregon and California. Amon~ the more striking findings gleaned from talks with politicians and observers: A high Democratic source in Missouri says that virtually the entire state dele_gation to th~ 1~72 national convention will be for Muskie. The surpnse IS the early commitment. Missouri, heavily for Hubert Humphrey in 1968, would hardly go for a leftish liberal. In Humphrey's own Minnesota, a careful party leader puts Muskie far ahead in probable delegate strength, even though an active rival, Sen. George ~cGovern, is based in neighboring South Dakota. Says this source: "Muskie comes through here as having a basic tendency to unify the party . . . We're not spending much time thinking about the others." In New York state, the Democratic party's greatest political morass, dozens of key figures-including many liberal reform types-are straining at the leash. They want to declare quickly for Muskie. A prominent 1970 office-seeker. whose name can't be revealed here, recently had to be held back from declaring. A friend describes him as "1,000 per cent for Muskie." This friend says he could put together a cluster of 150 leading figures for Muskie any time he wants to but is deliberately restraining himself and others on grounds it is too early. An Alabama Democrat says Muskie unquestionably is the "most salable non-southerner" in his state. He believes the prime movers in other Deep South states feel the same. He adds: "They're looking for what they can sell here and stay alive ... This guy (Muskie) looks real. He's not one of those crazy people." Texas, a different kind of battleground with its mixture of Deep South and New Southwest, nevertheless also looks good for M_uskie. He is more popular with the established conservative leadership than was Humphrey. And rival liberals have no hope of putting over another man. Virginia sources say that right now Muskie probably could be sure of maybe a third of their 1972 delegation, with the rest eager for a more conservative prospect like Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Washington. In liberal West Virginia, it's all Muskie. Only a revived candidacy for Sen. Edward Kennedy would alter the outlook. A distinguished Democrat there says: "Nobody else so far has shown any flash ... McGovern didn't click with party leaders at a breakfast last fall." Oregon, which went for former Sen. Eugene McCarthy over the late Robert F. Kennedy in the 1968 primary, is presently marked by an "awfuf lot of Muskie talk" and virtually nothing for others. say its leaders. Muskie is in commanding position in such other widely separated places as New Jersey, Ohio and Utah. Utah's veteran Gov. Calvin Rampton already has declared for him. There is no visible rival of strength in New Jersey, though one leader there thinks Muskie needs a "strong teammate" to make effective challenge against President Nixon. In territory like Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin, Muskie's dominance is acknowledged even as leaders caution about the earliness of the hour and the absence of much really serious talk of 1972. Crucial California is a bigger question mark One experienced viewer says Muskie is widely liked, "especially by the money guys." But the state's party leadership and office-holding lineup is more liberal than in many years, and moderate Muskie clearly has a lot of proving to do if he hopes to gain California's huge delegate bonanza. South Dakota's allegiance to McGovern is unquestioned. I checked 1t to test for Muskie backup strength, with inconclusive result. Some think he must enter the state's primary just to show his daring. To Many/ Justice Is Really Blind ~ • . • • · • r-----------------------------------------1 There is so much wrong with our courts that one more complaint is not likely to shake things up, even if it does come from the nation's most famous lawman. Writing in the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin, director J. Edgar Hoover charges that "a witness or victim involved in court proceedings in some jurisdictions may be subjected to such callous, indifferent or belittling treatment that he comes away bewildered and thoroughly disgusted with our judicial machinery, his sense of fair P,lay and justice shattered." At times, he says, when people pear as witnesses in court, "some jurists permit defense counsels to browbeat and intimidate them-including law enforcement officers -until it is questionable as to who is on trial." At other times, witnesses never even get a chance to testify. Hoover cites the case of a motorist whose car had been smashed into and who repeatedly took time off from his job to answer summonses only to find on each occasion that the accused had ignored his summons and that apparently court officials couldn't care less. Most Americans, fortunately, will never have to see the inside of a courtroom, either as complainants or defendants. There is one group in society, however, for whom the law's delays and the law's intricacies are becoming an increasing impediment to the performance of their jobs, as well as a serious demoralizing factor. This is the group noted by Hoover above-law enforcement officers. When the cop on the beat makes an arrest today, he can look forward to spending hours and hours for days and days waiting in court to testify, only to learn that the case has been continued (postponed) again- if, indeed, it is not thrown out entirely because he committed some technical infraction of the defendant's rights. Every policeman sitting around in a courtroom is obviously one less policeman guarding the s"afety of the community. There is no simple law we can pass or no sweeping reform we can institute that can remedy this situation. The right of every citizen to a fair trial, 'to every advantage of due process of law, is one of the cornerstones of our system of justice. Only the men who actually administer that system, the individual judges and lawyers, can ensure that in discharging their duty to protect the rights of an accused they do not forget the rights of his victim, or of society at large. It is true that it is better that 10 guilty men go free t:1an that one innocent man be unjustly punished. But when things come to such a pass that, as Hoover says, we sometimes can't tell who is the defendant and who is the witness, when people come away from court with their sense of fair play and justice shattered, we are in as much peril of losing our freedom as if we were routinely to convict 10 innocent men in hopes of catching the one guilty one.

She claims she loved him, and stayed a weekend with him. Insists he'll get a divorce to marry her. Helen, if her folks don't approve of a simple divorce, how can they approve of a man who has an affair before his divorce? Frankly, I don't think he'll ever leave his wife. Why should he, when he can have his cake and eat it too? I got so mad when my girl (or is she? ) told me, I felt like beating her up. But I still love her. Should I tell her parents so that they might all decide I'm THE BETTER RISK? Dear BR: You won't win the girl by tattling to her parents and you probably won't change her direction either.

I ll1 5"' Back in 1968 when Helen Sobel Smith was about to play in her last tournament she announced to her teammates that she liked to play limit raises. When asked what she wanted to do about forcing raises her reply was "We'll work them out when we come to them.'' What Helen meant was that when you have support for your partner and what looks like a sure game you can get there easily in any number of ways and still keep the slam zone clear. Today's hand shows how. Helen handled the first one of these. Her two-club response was forcing . When her partner rebid two hearts Helen continued the force with her three-diamond call. This was perfectly safe, because no matter how high her partner might take her in clubs or diamonds she could still go back to spades. Oswald Jacoby, who was. her partner, didn't know where Helen was heading but he made his normal rebid of three no-trump. At this point Helen showed her spade support. Jacoby had a very sound opening bid. He also knew tDat Helen was s how in g slam interest. It was obvious that she had intended to get in spades all the tin1e a and co u I d have bid the • s p ad e game immediately but took several detours. Helen never bid to help her opponents. Clearly she wanted to invite a slam. Jacoby decided to bid five clubs and leave it up to Helen who proceeded td,bid the slam without f u r t h e r ado. There was nothing to the play after both oppo- Iii.. nents followed to the first ""' trump lead since there was only one heart loser. (Newspaper Enterprise Assn.)

Waverly is the only team in the Class AA top ten to have suffered a loss, but the Tigers, losers only to Athens by a One of our guys is taking the Colts and giving 7 points on the big pro grid finals coming Sunday. I've got a small piece of the action (coffee change) taking Dallas even on the board. Our Colt fan hadn't read Fran Tarkenton's latest NEA (Newspaper Enterprise Assn.) colwnn dated Jan. 11 or he wouldn't have been so hot for Unitas and Co. Tarkenton, the quarterback who revived the New York Giants this year by insisting on being his own man all the way on the field, obviously likes Dallas. His summary of the Cowboys, with the big Super Bowl contest coming up, has special interest to all football fans. It will follow below:. (Tarkenton, whether he has a ghost do his work or not, fathers an excellent commentary. We like to use it whenever possible but the occasions are much too infrequent). This one is headlined: "Cowboys Have Biggest Guns" and says: As almost anyone in pro football will agree, the Dallas Cowboys- not the Los Angeles Rams, Minnesota Vikings or San Francisco 49ers- have the best personnel in the game. By personnel, I mean the best 40 athletes. The Cowboys are as deep as any pro toolball team can be. Take a look at their linebacking as an example. The~ have three second-team linebackers - Tom Stincic, Steve Kiner and D. D. Lewis - who would be playing first-team with almost any other club. But they can't break into thE? Dallas lineup as regulars. But the Cowboys utihze them, anyway, on their special teams. Which brings up a fact about the Cowboys that most people overlook - they have the best special teams in the game. Their depth and the fact they have so many good athletes gives them the opportunity to stock their special teams with more talent than any other club. Now, somebody may ask just how important an~ the special teams? When you sit down and figure how many times a team kicks off. punts, returns punts, attempts field goals and extra points in a single game, you realize JUSt how important the special teams are. In the Cowboys' case, they overmatch in talent all the special teams they face and rarely do their special teams make a mistake. In a single pressure game, s uch as the Super Bowl. special teams must be taken into consideration. On Jan. 17 in Miami, the Cowboys will have the edge over the Colts in that department. But for the Cowboys to win the Super Bowl decisively - or even closely, for that matter - they wil1 have to do more than just rely on their spe cial teams. They will have to play defense, and groundcontrol offense. The New York Giants were the last team to defeat the Cowboys. At that time, the Cowboys had a 5-4 record and. as the players themselves will probably agree, the team's future looked dismal. But in the weeks that followed, the Cowboys pulled themselves together by exploitin_g the two things they have always done well, and forgetting about everything else. First. their defense - which is one of the best m the game - came together and sudden ly became impen etrable. In their las t s1x games, the Cowboys have allowed only a single touchdown. Second. the offense started con centrating on its ground game. controlling the ball for long periods, and forgot about the lon g passing game. The result has been an amazing transformation in the team . The offense is no longer unsettled and the defense is aggressive and confident. The Cowboys also unveiled a running back named Duane Thomas, who has played a big role in their ground-control game He has been so effective that Calvin Hill, last year's Rookie of the Year. can't get his job back even though he is physically sound again. How many other team s have second -team running backs comparable to Calvin Hill? The Dallas defensive secondary also has been s uperb. Herb Adderle), Mel Renfro and Cornell Green e specially. The wav the Cowboys have been playing defense the last six weeks. it seems almost impossible to devise a n effec tive game plan to use against them . They are almost im possible to run against . and pass agamst. So, what the Super Bowl of 1971 will boil down to is this : Baltimore will have to find a way to put points on the Indian summer is called St. Martin's summer in Eng. land. NEW GOOD)'YEAR FIRST LINE SUBURBANITE FULL 4 PLY. TBLS. NARROW WHITE WALL RAYON - :~:;~~------ •1995 blistering 109-72 victory over the Kyger Creek Bobcats. Amazingly, Kyger Creek is the only club which has given Eastern any major trouble this season. Eastern defeated the Bobcats, 69-62, but was behind most of the game. North Gallia's fast-breaking attack is lead by Roger Pelgrey, 6 foot senior, who canned 30 points in his last outing. The potent attack is anchored by Arthur Clark, 6-5 junior center, the league's leading scorer. Clark had ripped the cords for 170 points, in all game average of 24.3 per game. He has scored 127 points in league competition for a 25.4 average. In recent weeks, the Pirates have been sided by the scoring punch provided by its brother combination, Dave Justus, 6-3 senior forward, and Larry Justus, 6-4 jWlior forward. Howie Caldwell, 5-10 senior guard, has been the most consistent scorer in the Eastern line-up. Caldwell is currently tied for second in the SVAC with a 20.6 point per game average. He has scored 144 points in league competition and 184 points overall. Dennis Eichinger, 6-3 junior center, has been coming on strong in recent weeks. He is averaging 17.8 points in all games and 16.6 points in the league. A win by the Pirates would place them back into title contention. A loss would virtually sew up the title for the Eagles. In the only other action Friday night, Coach Paul Dillon's Hannan Trace Wildcats travel to Cheshire for a rematch with the Kyger Creek Bobcats. Hannan Trace is 2-4 in the SVAC and 4-5 overall. Kyger Creek is 1-4 in the league and 1-7 overall. The Wildcats won the first meeting between the two schools, 65-55. Thus far, Coach Dillon's scoring machine has been led by Keith Swain, 5-10 junior forward and Steve Daniels, 6-2 senior center. Swain is averabing 17.7 points per game. Daniele; has an all game average of 14.3 points. The Bobcats have been led offensively by the outside shooting of Dave White, 5-10 JUnior guard and Ken Brown, 61 senior forward. White has ripped the cords for 145 points, an all game average of 20.7 per game. Brown is averaging 18.3 points in all games and 15 points in each of his five SVAC lilts. Kyger Creek will be trying to end a five game losing streak. Four games are on tap Saturday night. Hannan Trace will host Southern in the only league affair. Coach Hilton Wolfe Jr.'s Tornadoes are 3-2 in the SV AC and 5-4 overall. Southern has been paced by Frank Thle, 6-1 semor foward, Art Hill, !HI senior guard and Roger Nease, 5-9 guard.

But if Dallas gets behind and is forced to rely on its passing game, the Colts will vindicate their Joss to the .Jets in 1969. Dallas is simply not a passing team, despite Bob Hayes and some other fine receivers. Although I think the Cowboys can win, I am not going to pick them to win.

Third-ranked Marquette couldn't prevent the highscoring Carr from establishing a new Notre Dame career scoring record Tuesday night but the Warriors succeeded in holding him to 16 points below his average and emerged with a 71-66 victory for their 24th triumph in a row over two seasons. Marquette, which last lost to Notre Dame early last season, limited Carr to just four points in the first half and only 22 for the game and that proved to be the difference as the Warriors withstood a late Irish rally to win for the 12th time this season. The 6-3 guard rallied the lOthranked Irish from a 16-point deficit to within five points with less than a minute to play. But guard Dean Meminger of Marquette sank four free throws in the final minute to lock up the victory. It was Marquette's 50th consecutive triumph on its home court. Carr's 22 points enabled him to set the school record for total career points with 1,828, surpassing the old record of 1,820 set by Tom Hawkins.

Out of the welter of the conflicting reports and mystery, that statement comes from a man who says he actually witnessed the death of the celebrated American author and essayist, over whose end the world has since puzzled. Bierce, according to this eyewitness, was mortally wounded in a battle on the outskirts of the little town of Mocha, Mexico, in the spring of 1914 and was buried in a trench with two other foreign members of Pancho Villa's rebel force and eight Mexicans killed in the same battle. S. Patrick Reardon of San Francisco, salesman and former soldier of fortune, is the man who brings forward this latest and apparent only account of what happened to the famous 80-year writer .... He was rumored to have fallen in the battle of Torreon; to have been seen alive and well in South America; to have been driven out of Villa's camp for published criticism of the rebel Chieftain's military tactics and secretly shot. He was even said to have committed suicide by deliberately walking into the enemy line of fire at Chichihua. But no one up to this time has ever claimed to have had any first hand knowledge - except that Bierce went to Mexico and disappeared. Reardon 's story, told off hand, is remarkable for graphic detail of Bierce's last hours and the attempt to carry him from the field on the back of two crawling companions while Madera's men kept up a peppering fire. "We were enroute from Juarez to LaGuna," said Reardon, "and had halted overnight at the village of Nocha. Colonel Bierce, whom I had met two weeks before at Juarez, where he was military advisor to Villa, accompanied us. He was an old man and I remarked then that this was hardly the place for him. We were 75 men of the so-called foreign detachment, mostly Americans, entrained in two box cars on a scouting expedition. Reports that the Federals were preparing to dynamite the railroad led Villa to send us on in advance of his main army, which was following the next day. "Bierce smiled when I commented on the danger of the mission for a man of his age. " 'So much the better,' he said, 'We may see some real fighting. Adventure, my boy, age loves it as much as youth.' "We considered ourselves safe at Macho, but about 2 o'clock in the morning a surprise attack occurred. It was a hot fight. We were encamped on the desert. The rifle fire increased, coming out of nowhere. We could see nothing but the flashes. Joe O'Reilly, who commanded us, gave the order to deploy to the east. That was when Bierce got it. He was too old to crawl on his belly like the rest of us. He rose to his hands and knees and a bullet tore into his side. One of the boys called out - 'Have you got any water? Bierce is shot.' "We laid him across the backs of two men who crawled with him about 800 yards. 'Give me some whater,' he said, 'and leave me with my rifle!' We propped him up against the wall of a building and left him. It was every man for himself after that. "Next day I returned with Villa's main force. Bierce was still against the wall. But he was dead." Mr. A. A. Chappelle, a resident of Middleport, was a nephew of the late famous Ambrose Bierce, and from him received the information.
