LAREDO, Tex, Dec. -Thirty-three
car loads of Mexican troops, comprising
about eight hundred men, arrived in

This seems to indicate that the reports
of advantages gained along the border
by CARA are not altogether wrong.
These newly arrived troops will proceed
down the river at once. ..5.. ..
Two more companies of United States
troops are expected to arrive in this city.
They will leave at once for the lower

A runor has gained circulation in the
city that three revolutionists who were
captured by Mexican troops in skirmish
Monday night were convicted and shot.

any reliable source.
Considerable dneasiness is expressed

Nothing has been heard from them since
their departure.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 30.-In his efforts
to escape arrest an unknown burglar last
night at Fourth and Commerce streets
emptied five chambered Smith & Wes-
son revolver at two Fourth district
police officers, almost instantly killing
Officer Ernest Elmer Findley and badly
wounding Officer John j. Nesper in the
left arm. After desperate struggle
the murderer was arrested and locked
up in the Fourth district station house.
Officer Findley was taken to the Penn
sylvania hospital where he died before
his statement could be taken. Officer
Nesper went to the station house, where
his wound was dressed, after which he
was taken to his home. The murderer,
who refuses to give his name, seems
scarcely out of his teens, was discovered
in the act of breaking safe. He was
captured after violent encounter with
police and citizens.
