Memphis, Nov l3-The presidential

trail at $3.50 this morning. For some
distance this morning II was run at a
speed Of over 70 miles an hour to make

MOROCCAN SITUATION
GROWS f1ORE SERIOUS.

Madrid, Nov. ia dispatch from
Tetuan. Morocco, where the Kabyte
tribes have rebelled, shows that the sit
ua.ion has grown more serious. A body
OF armed TetuanItes has been defeated
In a fight with the rebels and compell-
ed TO retreat to the town. The rebels
are encamped at Samoa, half an hour
distant from Tetuan, where all business
Is suspended.
In Madrid the position OF the Euro
peans at Tetuan Is considered to be not
grave. The newspapers comment on
spalr's continued III fortune as again
evidenced by the fact that the country
Is without cabinet at the time OF such
an important crisis. -

wounded cat the president thrust the
stock into her mouth. II shows tina

OF the bullets are soft-nosed, but

should get chance for a long shot.
While thus prepared for wilderness
conditions, II is not probable that the
president win don his buckskin suit un.

IN answer TO Judge Kings interroga-

ed from Manning by Judge King was

would kill Romney|
Eyes. He said If he and his friends
could get Romney out TO Murray they
would beat the s. Of a b. to death.
This is considered very strong point
for the defense, showing that Rom
ney acted In self-deiense from the time
the, trouble began. 1t was also brought
out that after Strong removed his coat
he stepped up to the bar and standing
on the railing tried TO reach Romney'

very hard TO tangle Pratt on his testl-

cuspidores. Pratt would not swear that
none of the cuspidores had been dls-
