In tvet the officers hur-ried the father od to the county Jail in Salt Lake City for fear something might happen. ; s Hugh Pirce is employed by the Royal Steam Laundiy in Bingham and Bishop J. A. Wright, manager of tha laundiy, states that Mr. Pierce has had a great deal of tr Mible with the unruly boy. The boy had been forbid-- ' den to go to tho valley s dimming and on last Tuesday slipped away and went with a number of orher boys. When he returned late in tte evening he went to the barn back of he laun-dry and was about to climb nto the loft to sleep when BishopWrighr, came aijjnig and took him home. The Bish-dj- f thinks, however, that he did not sleep in .lis fathers house but ctme back later and slept In the barn,'lie next day he went home and the fath-er gave him a terrible beating ac-cording to the story.

M. Nielson of the juvenile court, follow-- , Ing a request to that effect from a . committee of Bingham citizens who are taking an interest in the matter, f fierce is alleged to have brutally belten his son with an ax handle be-cause the boy went swimming with a party of chums after his father had forbidden him to go. After knocking ' the boy senseless, it is alleged that he kicked him on the head and body. J The lad is under the care of Dr. F. E. Straup at his home. "Young Pierce received a most brut-al heating from his father," said Dr. . " Straup, "and this camp is highly in-censed about it." 'A report reached here that friends of Pierce In Salt Lake would attempt to secure bail fqr him. We hope he is kept in jail and properly punished. His wife fears . that If he is allowed bail he will re-turn here and abuse her as he has often done in the past He may meet summary punishment If he returns. The lad Is a nervous wreck as result of the treatment he received." ' "A number of Bingham citizens called me up," said Judge Nielson, "stating that the Pierce boy was in a serious condition and requesting that his father be not released on less than $5000 bond, and it appears to me that ?;ihki Is not tco much under the cir-cumstances." Pierce Arrested When Pierce was first arrested he . taken before Judge J. C. Green who fixed his bond at $30Q. He was unable to furnish bail and was sent to Jail. It is stated that the father, after beating the bey, loi ked him in the house and he remained there alone for several hours.

OUfllA This Part of tha Great Copoer Camp Has Subscribed Over $41,0C0 to this Cause. (By W. E. Traughber) . ' The people of Copperfield believe that they have made the best record of any town in the state In the war savings stamp drive.

At the same time the people of th town rot together, nam-ed committees to take charge of the drive and went at the patriotic task in earnest IA. B. Aven is chairman of the ex-ecutive comm.itee, which has had the drive in chargeand he has been as-sisted by C W, Buchholz. cashier of the Copperfield bank; Fred Turner,; John Byrne, pi d Charted Tic tjfi of whom are mjmbe,s of the c?nmittee.

Then too the women of the Copperield Bed Cross unit have done everything in their power to further the work of the committee and their assistance has been felt and appreciated. Mrs. Paul lAckerroan is president of the Copperfield unit and to her executive ability much of the credit for the work of the unit is due. Wednesday afternoon 'H. B. Aven an-nounced that Copperfield had taken more than $41,000 in war savings stamps to date. But," he added, "do not get the idea that we have reached our quota and ceased work. We have exceeded our quota, with nine days yet to go, and we intend to do ever-ything in our power to still further fcwell our subscriptions Copperfield has also-mad- a high record in Liberty bond subscriptions and Red Cros donations. - in all these activities the greatest part of the for-eign population have rendered valu-able assistance, the Greeks having named their own committees and i worked heroically in aid of the various war funds.

LIGHTNING CAUSES APEX M1NEJOCLOSE.DOWN Last Tuesday evening during the thunder storm the lightning struck Sthe high tension line of the Apex mine and broke the insulators so bad-ly that it was necessary to close down the workings for seven or eight hours.

The Apex is now working about 300 men. A few weeks ago they were compelled to lay off a lot of men be-cause fire broke out on the 1800 lev-el and raged quite fiercely for some time. All the levels below the 1500 were bulkjieadcd and these tunnels floodpd and it is believed that the fires are now quenched entirely and the management - Is contemplating opening these: levels in the near fu-ture.

These two districts are included in the Bingham apportionment and the figures, while not available in detail at this time, snow generally that the two towns are coming through with flying colors. , A visit to Phoenix and Highland Soy today found a large committee of women calling upon evry resident of the town, who has not already sub-scribed, to pledge himself in as large a sum as possible and the responses are generous. The population of Phoenix and High- land Boy is largely foreign, but men women and children t:re aiding in the drive in the most enthuslaHtlc manner and the results 'being accom-plished would be surprising were it not fcr the fact that the people of tho two towns already hae evidenced tiifir patriotism in the precee.ling Liberty loan campaigns, as well as in the enthusiasm evidenced In Red Cross at tlvlth's.
