Negro Trooper Who Captured
It Killed German With a
Razor; Property of the
Trimble Brothers.
One of the famous, and unsuccess
ful German anti-tank guns, cap
tured by a polored trooper of the
92d division in the Argonne forests
September 28th, is now on exhibi

bears a label explaining that it was
turned over to H. R. Trimble, of
Omaha, who was in France in Y.
M. C. A. work, and is the property
of ;Trimble Bros, commission com

trooper captured it from an old
German soldier about 65 years old,
the colored man cutting his throat
from ear to eaf with a razor while
in the act of relieving him from his
burdensome artillery.
A regulation size German army
gun is also on exhibition with it,

Attacked by Charles Hutter
Charles Hutter, former sheriff of

county commissioners of Sarpy
county to oust Hutter from office.

bond as provided by law was filed
in the ouster proceedings, but resi
dents of Sarpy county say that tax
payers long have been dissatisfied
with the conduct of the sheriff in
office.

Douglas county on a charge of op
pression in office. . A suit is now

Millers Now Permitted to
Buy Wheat from Storage
Nebraska millers who were g$ven
a scare, thinking that perhaps Wie
government was going to take all
the wheat offered on the Omaha
market, have found relief in the an
nouncement that Uncle Sam is go
ing to permit them to buy for their
needs from the stocks in storage.
In the Omaha terminal elevators
at this time the accumulated wheat
stocks held by the government ag
gregates some 5,000,000 bushels. It
appears that the government has
figured that it is not going to need
all of this for export and as a result
millers have been' notified that they
wjll be permitted to take over such
quantities as they may need. In
doing so they will be required to
pay the original price, storage
changes and a reasonable profit. The
government bought this wheat all
the way from $2.09 up to $2.20 a
bushel, the price depending upon
the quality and kind. ,

Private Peacock Says Huns in
Argonne Forest Offensive
Dropped Like Wheat in
Hail Storm.
Pvt. William J. Peacock, 180?
Seventh7 avenue. Council, Bluffs, a
former Omaha boy, returned home
Thursday wearing two wound chev
rons for injuries received in the
battle of the Argonne forest. Young
Peacock was active in fighting six
weeks after he stepped from the
trainat Camp Funston, having been
inducted into the overseas regiment
immediately upon his arrival at the
training camp. He-landed in France
the first week in August and fought
with the 77th infantry division.
It was after having gone over the
top three times that Peacock was in
jurd by flying stones and shrapnel
when a 45-centimeter shell burst a
few feet from him, killing three men
outright, who were with him. Pea
cock was buried in a shell crater be
neath stones and debris for three
hours before he was taken to a first
aid station. Several days after he
was again in the front line trenches
in the Argonne forest, and was gass
ed. He still suffers from the ef
fects of the penetrating gas.
Huns Fell Like Wheat in Hail
"That Argonne forest was a verit
able hell," he said, "and the dough
boys helped enliven ' it. ' The Ger
mans met their Waterloo when they
met the cqld steel of the American
troops. Twice wfien German troops
attempted to rush us in mass forma
tion, we opened up on them with
machine guns and,1 they fell like
wheat in a hail storm.' When the
dirty dogs felt the grit we had in us,
they turned toward Berlin or shout
ed 'Kamerad' when we went over
the top."
Peacock rallied between life and
death , in a hospital-in; France for
two months besides two weeks that
he spent in a hospital in New York
City recuperating from his injuries.
He was discharged at Camp
Dodge and will resume business in
Omaha. '
