BORDER BATTLE.
The Reyolutionists Whipped the

FIVE SOLDIERS KILLED.
Two Mexican General Are Reported
Missing and They Are Supposed
to Eava Deserted to Join
the RevolurionistA

NEW YORK, Dec. 28-~-A Laredo,
Texas, special to The World says:
information has been received here
that General Estrada, stationed at Mier,
Mexico, is missing from his post of duty
and is thought to have Joined the revo-
lutionists, who are said to be marching
toward the interior Of Mexico.
1t Is known that there was battle on
the 17th on Mexican SOL, near Guerrero,
between the Mexican troops and revolu-
tionists with victory for the latter.
Five soldiers were killed.
Revolutionists 400 Strong
continued their march toward the lnte-
rior. When last heard from they were
within few hours march Of the town
OF Ceralve. This information is from q
person high in authority. He further
states that the Mexican troops down tbs
river have been given orders to march
into the interior and that no further
trouble will come from this side Of the
Rio Grande
A dispatch from the city Of Mexico,
says:
A searching investigation fails 10 nnd
In this city eny trace Of General Soste-
mas Rocha the instructor Of the National
Military academy at Chapultepec al
though the minister Of foreign affairs
and other officials of the government
asserted that the general was here.
It has now been ten days since Rocha
left the military academy, and it is re-
ported that he has been traced to Mon
terey. If common report is true that
the general has gone to join in the revo-
lutionary movement inaugurated on the
Rio Grande border against Mexico, or
that he is identified in any way with
such project, thousands Of Mexicans
will flock TO him, as he is the most pop
ular officer in the Mexican army, and
the best informed man in Mexico on
military tactics.

A FRENCH DUEL,

But 1t Was BloodIess and Did Not
Amount to Much
PARIS, Dec ga duel between Gle
menceau and De Roulede took place as
arranged. Neither was injured. Gen
eral Felix G.. Saussier, the military gov
ernor of Paris and veteran Of the ser
vice in Crimea, Italy, Mexico and At
rica, had refused to act as an arbitrator
The idea of arbitration was ridiculed as
an evidence of cowardice on the par of
DeRoulede, who suggested it.
DesLandes was appealed to, and he at
once proceeded to bring thing to a eli
max. He decided that DeRoulede and
Clemenceau should have an opportunity
to take shots at each other, and that The
combatants should be placed twenty
PAGES apart, with the privilege of ad-
vancing three steps during the firing.

TRYING 1ToN THE REPORTER.

1t has remained for the Paris corre-
spondent of the New York Herald to
achieve the acme of journalistic enter
prise.
The war correspondent is familiar
figure, and would be an heroic one but
for his own perverse preference for be-
ing unherolcally flippant and noncha-
liant. He has been known to sit calmly
in hail of shot and shell, making
copy or sKetching while the battle
ragged around him. In various other
fields of adventure newspaper men have
distinguished themselves. Whether it
is an assignment such as STANLEY re-
ceived, to pierce to the heart of darkest
Africa in search of LIvINGsToNE,o or such
as took KEENAN, into the remote re-
cesses of Siberia; whether it is to test
the latest air ship or diving apparatus,
to take hand in South American
revolution or go hunting for the north
pole, the reporter is usually ready. He
doesn't revel in danger, but lie takes it
as it comes. This Herald correspondent
at Paris. however, goes a step beyond
the most enterprising of his predeces-
oOio. 1AOlV 10 liO vi UdlLlc Ill
his case, nor zeSt of adventure. He has
simply submitted himself to a test of
cholera incubation, in order that his
paper may be the first to announce to an
eXpectant world whether incubation
with virus can be successfully used IN
cholera as in smallpox and rabies. Or
or whether it can't. If it can't. the re-
porter won't be there to mourn the fail
ure. and, in any event, he will take care
that his paper gets the first news.
This cholera virus is the latest notion of
PAsTEUR. he thinks it will work all
right, and the reporter take the chances.
The latter's dispatches say: ''As write
portion of my body is alive with hun
dreds, aye thousands, of cholera mi
crobes, which have been taken from the
dead bodies of cholera victims in Saigon,
Asia, where, the pest is ever present in
its most virulent form. Tomorrow the
incubation will be proceeded with still
further" And by the next day, prob
ably, we shall know whether the eX-
pertinent is a success. Ii it isn't-weIl,
there will be Grape Oh the door of the
Herald's European bureau, but what of
that? Reporters are very plentiful.

A QUESTION OF MANNERS.

women are. sometimes very severe in
their comments on the manners of men
in public places. The GLOBE wonders
what sort of a story the conductors of
our local street cars would tell if they
were asked to express their honest
opinion on the subject. They would
probably say that they have much more
trouble with women than with men. If
a car is crowded, men will respond
readily enough to a request to move for
ward: but a woman will cling stub
bOrnly to the position in which she has
once planted herself,in utter disregard of
the discomfort of those behind her.
How often will woman occu-
Ply space enough for two people
and watch others standing without any
apparent qualms of conscience. The
other morning an open cable car came
down into the heart of the city with
load much larger than it could accom-
modate. When still another woman got
on, man who was seated stepped out
on the side plank and offered her his
place. Between her and the vacant seat,
however. sat woman of huge size, who
OlOChSQ tuC way. lic re-
quested her 10 move over, but she re-
fused, and across her obstructive bulk
the beneficiary of the mans courtesy
had to climb in order to take advantage
of the opportunity. Two blocks further
on the same train stopped again to allow
a woman to alight. The rear platform
was quite empty, aud she could have
made her way out there without diff
Guilty. But did she do this? Not bit of
it. She was intent on short cut, and
started boldly out between two occupied
seats On the side of the train next the
second track. This made two men get
up to accommodate her, made the con-
ductor shout eXcitedly, and delayed the
other passengers because an opposite
bound train appeared in sight and de-
tanned her while it passed. 1t is i'm
possible to induce woman to do a thing
the right way" sighed the gripman.
Men may be rude In public places. But
| are not women sometimes very thought
less?

THE GREAT NORTHERN.

Mr.. HILL may be in politics Incl
dentally-just in casual come-and-
dine-with-me way-Dut running rail-
road is still his main job. Gubernatorial
candidates have no interest for him ex-
cept as they figure up in the assets of
the Great Northern. Just now MIR.
HILL is plotting the Great Northern
through some very startling maneu-
vefs... Only few days ago he an
nounced the prospective withdrawal of
his road from the Transcontinental as
ISOLATION, and now he follows it up by a
similar announcement regarding the
Western Traffic association. Appar-
emily Mr.. HILL is determined to paddle
his own canoe in the most COM
prehenSlve sense of the phrase.
He is going to cut loose alb
solutely from all entangliug alliances.
With his own road through from the
Pacific coast to Lake Superior, and
there connecting with his own line of
vessels to the Atlantic seaboard, Mr..
HILL feels that he can afford to be in
dependent. In point of cost of con-
structlon he has the cheapest of all
transcOntnental lines, and the system
is most admirably managed by the pro-
gressiye ndaggreSsive assistants whom
he has chosen from the many called at
various times to trial Of their ability
on the Great Northern. Thus equipped,
MIR. HILL has, metaphorically speaking,
waded in. He gave the Transconti-
mental association what will probably
prove its death blow when he withdre W
the Great Northern from it, and now
the already weak and pre- carious West
ern Traffic association receives similar
treatment. All this Is important tidings
to shippers and travellers, if it means
the decadence of the railway trust in
the West and revival of competition
in railway traffic. Mr.. HILL thinks he
is in position to benefit by this COM
petition. Whether he is or not, the
public has reason to feel glad that h e
thinks he is.

IN THE LAWS CLUTCHES.
Four Members of the Dalton Gang
Rounded Up.

Four Members of the Dalton Gang
Rounded Up.
PARIS, Tex, Sept. IA telegram
was received from Deming, n. NJ. to-
day which stated that a capture long to
be remembered in criminal his
tory was affected there last night
none other than that of four
of the members of the famous
gang of train robbers. The dispatch
was from Deputy Marshal Sam Will
Jams, of the Paris court, who stated that
he had made the capture. Those cap
tured were Bob Dalton, the leader of
the gang; Grant Dalton. Amy Dalton,
Sam Wilge and Three-Fingered Jack.
Williams did not wire the details of the
capture.
Shortly after the last raid by the out
laws, which occurred at Adair, /. f.,
July Ia, Williams started in pursuit of
the desperadoes. He followed them out
of the territory into Kansas. thence to
Colorado and New Mexico, where the
capture was made. The Dalton
gang is wanted in the Indian ter
ritory, Kansas and New Mexico
and California to answer to the charge
of train robbery and the rewards offered
by the officials of the railroads and of
the express companies robbed in Kan
sas and California aggregate 1922, 900.
The telegram also stated that Williams
was on the train of the other four mem
berS of the gang and that he expected
TO soon effect their capture.
