VIOLENCE RE|GNs
ALONG BORDER

Ell PASO, Dec. Following cam
paign of extreme bitterness, in which
the alleged revolutionists OF that place
played a prominent part, three murders
have occurred in Del Rio within the
last three days, the latest being that
of c. B. Cawthorn, a Leading sheepman
in that section. He was found dead in
his buggy today with a bullet through
his heart.
Intense feeling has existed along the
border since the arrest of alleged revo-
lutionists began and the murders and
other deeds of violence are attributed
to this. Great excitement prevails
along the Rio Grande and the border
up and down the river is being pa
trolled by rangers, civil officers and
customs guards. on the American SIDE
and by large forces of regular troops
and rurales on the Mexican side
There is no abatement of the feeling
aroused by the arrest of alleged revo-
lutionists, but on the contrary grow
Ing intensity and bitterness.

PARIS, Dec Count Boni de Cas-
tellane drove in motor car today to
the marble palace where dwells the
American woman who divorced him.
Alighting the Count gave his card to
the concierge, saying:
Send that to Nine. Could"
Madame has given orders that you
must never enter here, sir" answered
the concierge, coldly polite.
Livid with rage the Count raised his
cane and dealt the man heavy blow
on the head. AS the concierge reeled,
the blood squirting from his scalp,
Count Boni sprang into the automobile
and whizzed away. It was necessary
to call surgeon to aid the concierge,
so says the Libre Parole. -.
The Cri de Paris says In todays Is

Mime. Gould and Count Boni de Cas-
tellane both will marry again In short
order. She is engaged to an American
millionaire. She will pass several
months each year in her palace, which
is the most beautiful home in France
Nothing will be changed in the stump
tuous current of her life save that her
dinner plates and carriage pillows will
not faunt a counts coronet.
His. too, will be a brilliant mar
riage. Boni de CasteIlane hopes to
revive the ancient glories, to entertain
Kings again. His future wife is
widow, millionairess, who owns
chateau in the provinces, splendid
hotel in Paris, yacht, racehorses and
has great influence with the news

Everybody knows that the million
aire widow" whom gossip hints at is
Nine. Menier, divorced wife of the
chocolate millionaire. Before she mar
ried Menier she was Baroness dc Fer

The Marquis de Castellane is indig-
nant over the anxiety of an American
theater manager to secure Count
Bonis appearance on the stage. The
Marquis said to a correspondent today:
1T is perfectly true that my SON has
received a letter from an American
theatrical agency, proposing that he
exhibit himself on the stage In New
York. II the distance separating the
continents were not so great, this au-
dacious insult would be settled in the
manner. 1t deserves. Considering, how

recently installed a whim at their
property near Cloverdale and have
reached depth of 100 feet in verti-

it is expected to commence shipping

on the completion of the ore bins they
will be increased to minimum of three
