Law.
OF course, it was terribly disrespect-
full but snowslides, like evangelists,
don't stand on ceremony. And the fact
that two of Worcester's finest happened
to be beneath this particular snowslide
was more their fault than the fault of
the slide.
A snowslide, like a poet, acts on in
spiration and you can't stop an in
spired snowslide any more than you
can the measles. Two of Worcester's
bravest wearers of the blue can testify
to that fact. Clothed in regulation caps
and the majesty of the law, they
strolled together down one of Worces-
ters thoroughfares when that slide
descended upon them. Like wolf in
the night or an order from the mayor,
it came, and they got it in the usual
place-the neck. Then the passersby
laughed, the cops got mad and the
slide stopped for lack of snow, and the
fun was over.

SAN ANTONIO. Texas (Special). = The
trouble which has been brewing for some
time between the people OF Rio Grande
City and the negro troops OF the Ninth
Cavalry at Fort Ringgold came to a climax
when a pitched battle took place between
the negro garrison and several hundred
armed men from the town. 1t Is said that
fully 5000 shots were fired. One man was
probably fatally injured and another
slightly wounded.
Captain W. NJ. Day. commander OF Fort
Brown, has gone to Fort Ringgold with az
ty men OF the Ninth Cavalry. Major Thomp-
son went there from Fort MeIntosh with a
detachment OF the Ninth Cavalry. Colonel
Roberts has arrived at Fort Ringgold and
has assumed charge OF affairs with a de-
tachment of the Twenty-ffth Infantry.

shorisies now have full control over the
soldiers at the fort, and that not a man Is
permitted to approach or leave the reserva-
tion. The entire male population In and
around Rio Grande City Is under arms.
