Peters of U. S. Marines
Died in Santa Anna; He
Has Formed the Habit
The following story was clipped
from last week’s Santa Anna News:
“A young man by the name of Pet-
ers was seen to fall in the western
part of town Monday evening in such
a manner as to excite two small hoys,
who hurried to their mother with the
news. The lady coaxed the boys to
take a stand by the road and stop the
first auto party passing and have
fhem to report the matter to the au-
thorities in town. Soon Judge S. J.
Pieratt and Dr. Holland went out to
the scene and found the young man in
an almost dying condition. He was
brought to town, medical aid admin-
istered, and soon he was sufficiently
recovered that there was hopes for
his recovery. Found on his person
was an honorable discharge from the
U. S. Marines, with an excellent de-
portment. The American Legion took
charge of the victim, placed him in
the local hospital where he remained
for several, days, until his condition
was such that he could continue his
journey. Considerable difference of
opinion has been expressed as to the
cause of the your* man’s troubles.
Papers show that he gives his address
as Fort Worth, Texas, but in case of
death or accident, notify a lady, we
suppose a sister, living at Bonham,
Texas, No valuables were found on
his person.’* .
The Brownwood Bulletin adds the
following comment to the Santa Anna
incident:
“Peters 'died' in Brownwood a few
days ago, but was resuscitated in a lo-
cal hospital where he was taken by
the American Legion. His sudden
attack here, bo said, was superinduced
by lack of nourishing food. The Le-
gion paid his hospital bill and the doc-
tor bill was contributed by the physi-
cians called into his case, and after
he had been outfitted in clean and neat
clothing he was given a permit to go
on his way rejoicing. At his present
rate of travel, as indicated by the
Santa Anna story, he is due to fall
‘unconscious’ again .■ within the next
two or three days, probably at Sweet-
water or maybe San Angelo, accord-
ing to the local Legionnaires.

Where a Fatty Arbuckle film was be-
ing shown and shot up the screen and
seized the film, taking it into the
streets and burning part of it. F. Z.
Buzzctti, manager ot the theater, said
today that representative* of the Pur-
ity League had visited him and asked
him not to run the picture, earlier in
the day.
No damage was done to the theater
other than shooting up the screen, Mr.
Buxzetti said, and no attempt was
made to injure Wm.
Cincinnati, O., Sept. 16,—“Blue
luws, as proposed by bills pending in. Official
Congress, would throw America back |
one hundred years to days of fanatical
persecutions, declared the Rev. Al- i
bert H. Zimmerman, Washington, D.
director of the Speakers Bureau of
the Anti-Blue Law League of Amer-
ica.
“I want to warn Americans against
reversion to a type of Colonial days
which is now threatening, continued
the Kev. Dr. Zimmerman, who came
here to deliver a number of addresses.
"As Americans we should stand by
an American Sabbath, not a Conti-
nental nor a Puritanic Sabbath; not
an open Sunday, but a day of rest, re-
ligion and recreation; reserving the
American ideal of freedom for each
individual, to observe, the day as he
deems best, according to the dictates
of his own conscience.
“The stability of our American
Government is assured because it
rests on a three-foKT foundation made
Up of a free church, a free school and
a free State. The rights of each are
guaranteed by the Constitution," said
the Rev. DV. Zimmerman.
“The efforts of so-called reformers
to enact laws similar in spirit and
intent t%the blue laws of the Puritan
days ar"fraught with danger to the
Republic, as such laws would under-
mine its very foundation. It is to
combat this danger that the Anti-
Blue Law'League of America has been
organized.
