Elmore, bard of Alamo, wrote his last novel, ‘T'wen- ty-five Years in Jackville,” the aaper- sions he cast upon that community aroused the resentment of its citizens, This morning Elmore visited the town to peddle the objectionable work. As the bard stepped from the post- office he was gfeeted by a fusiliade of rotten eggs and a chorus of derisive shouts. His nose was broken bya duck egg hurled from a distance of 15 feet. Elmore fled in his buggy. At the edge of town he fell into an ambush and was treated to a second odorous baptism, finally escaping, however, in a sorry plight.
