TEXANS SHOT FROM AMBUSH
AWAKENED from SLEEP BY
,VOLLEY OF BULLETS.
-sangers Kill Four Of Attacking Party,
Fatally Wound One and Cap
ture TWO.

Laredo, Tex, Nov. 10.-Four Tex-E
as rangers sent to Rio Grande Cityf
to quiet turbulent political conditionsf
there and investigate the assassina-t
ton of District Judge WEIGH, which,
occurred the night before the cleo
lion, were ambushed by body Of
armed Mexicans between Fordyce
and Rio Grande City late Thursday
night The rangers were asleep in
camp when awakened by volley Of
shots from the darkness. A pitched
battle ensued and four of the attack
ing party were killed, one fatally
wounded and two captured. The
rangers escaped unscathed.
The situation in Starr county was
brought about by alleged election ir-
regularities, due to political clubs
supplying Mexican residents with poll
tax receipts and insisting that they
be allowed to vote. Judge Welch, who
was assassinated Monday night, had
gone from his home in Corpus Christi
to be present at Rio Grande City on
election day in an effort to prevent
disorders. He was assassinated while
asleep at night. 1t is charged that
armed representatives of political
clubs controlling the Mexican vote
patrolled the voting places on election
day and refused to allow members of
the opposing faction to vote. Several
shooting ARRAYS occurred, but no one
was killed or wounded. It is charged
by one faction that Judge WEIGH was
murdered by hired assassin and that
the ambuscade of the rangers was in
stigated by the same faction which
inspired the murder of Judge WEIGH

NORTH DAKOTA.
Final Outcome Shows that Burke and
Fisk are Elected.

Fargo, N. D.. Nov 1o.-The political
situation has changed little within the
last twentyfour hours. The Democrats
still claim the election of their entire
state ticket. occasional leaders doubling
whether all have pulled through. The
Republicans concede the defeat of Sarles
for governor and Knauf for supreme
court judge, but have the greatest conf
dence in the election of the rest of the
ticket.
The scratching was done on Sarles
and Knauf. In Cass county all the rest
of the state ticket had rnajorities rang
ing from 600 to 1000 votes Sarles had
less than 200 and Knauf was beaten bv
more than 1000.
In Ward county the rest of the state
ticket ran from 600 to LOO ahead of
Sarles. Smaller counties report approx
matelv the same percentage and the
Republican leaders believe that unless
Burke gets 5000 or more majority over
Sarles he will be unable to pull the
other candidates through
The actual returns still are delayed
in many counties. One is still missing
in Cass county, with all the railroad
facilities at hand In many counties
queries for figures are answered BY
the statement that outlying districts have
not yet reported.
Burke's majority over Sarles is placed
at from 5000 to $500 and that Of Fisk
over Knauf from 5000 to oooo

IND|CT RAILROADS
ON rebate Charge
FEDERAL GRAND JURY VOTES
BILLS AGAINST MlNNEAPO-
LIS CARRIERS.
Allegation Is Made That Refunds
Were Given to Grain Firms and In
dividuaI Shippers Doing Business
in Northwestern Metropolis.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 9.-Eleven
indictments were handed to Judge
Lochren in the United States district
court at Ito p. m. Thursday, and they
cover the giving of rebates by certain
railroads and the receiving of the
same by grain firms and individuals
The list of corporations against which
the indictments were voted, as given
out by Assistant District Attorneys
Ewart and Dickie, who have had
charge of the cases, were as follows
The Great Northern Railroad com
pany, four indictments and about Is
counts.
The Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis
& Omaha railway, one indictment and
so counts.
Wisconsin Central railway, one in
dictment and II counts.
Minneapolis & St. Louis railway
one indictment and five counts.
The indictments against the rail
roads charge the giving of rebates
and under the head of receiving re-
bates the following true bills were re-
turned:
w. P. Devereaux company; Nc
Caull-Dinsmore company, Minneapo
lis; Ames-Brooke company, of Duluth
Duluth Milling company.
Relating Is Charged.
Some of the Specific charges con
tanned in the indictments against the
Great Northern railway were two in
dictments for giving rebates to the
Spencer Grain company, one for Civ
ing to the McCaull- Dinsmore company
and for giving rebates to the Spencer
Grain company
The Omaha railroad, the Wisconsin
Central, the Minneapolis & st. Louis
were charged with favoring the Spen.
Ger Grain company. The companies
indicted who are not railroad compa.
MES are charged with receiving re-
bates.
Besides the corporations, indict.
ments We're returned against II indi.
vldual officials of the railroads named
but United States District Attorney
Houpt said he would not consent to
the names being given out for publica.
ton owing to the fact that no serv.
ice had as yet been obtained upon
them
AlIege Absorption of Charges.
The general offense alleged in the
railroad indictments is the absorption
OF grain elevator charges.
After the bunch of indictments had
been given out to the court the Jurors
were excused for the term and told
to convene again in ST. Paul.
That further and more searching
investigation into the rebate question
will be made is not denied by Assist
ant United States District Attorney
Ewart, and further revelations are ex-
pected to be made at the next sitting
of the grand jury
Perhaps the most surprised people
of all were the railroads, for none of
those interested expected indictments
to be brought. Each company had
made it's best endeavors to disclaim
any criminality in it's relation with
the grain companies.

hacking cough or demoralizing cold with

that remedy be DR.. Boschee's German
Syrup, which has been in use for over
thirty-fve years. A few doses of it will
undoubtedly relieve your cough OF cold,
and its continued use for few days will
cure you completely. No matter how

consumption has attacked your lungs,
German Syrup will surely effect cure
as it has done before in thousands of ap-
parently hopeless cases of lung trouble.
