FULLAM IN COMMAND.
Warship Marietta Lands Men in Hon.
 duras.

PUERTO CORTEZ, May 4.-General Davis, colored, was brutally assaulted at Puerto Cortez by Nicaraguan sol diers and may die. Commander Full lam of the United States gunboat Ma rietta ordered the arrest of Nicara- guan officers and soldiers, and if the man dies they will be tried for mur- der. Fullam has assumed charge. Da. wis is not an officer. His name is Gen, eral."
 While General Davis, fruit inspect CT for the Thacker Bros steamship line, was standing near the railroad station at La Guna, talking with three or four negro companions, also Ameri- cans, a drunken Nicaraguan soldier, armed with machete. approached the party and without any provocation de- nlanded to know what they were talk ing about.
 Davis answered that it was none of his business, whereupon the Nicara. guam soldier drew his machete and slashed it over Davis, who clasped his arms about the man and finally took away the weapon, threw 1t on the ground and went to house near by.
 A companion of the Nicaraguan sol dier ran to police station, and Il squad of policemen and Nicaraguan soldiers surround"1 the house and dragged Davis out of the house and carried him toward the cuartel. As no attempt had been made to arrest the Nicaraguan soldier, Davis asked, the squad why they did not arrest him. In reply the party beat him brutally over the head and body until Davis was unconscious.
 The soldiers and policemen carried his body to the cuartel, blood flowing from the nose, mouth and ears. Believ- ing that Davis was dying, they carried the body back to the spot where they had knocked him down and threw it on the ground. Physicians found him bruised and still unconscious.
 Within ten minutes bluejackets of the Marietta under Ensign Rorsach were on the spot
 Commander Fullam's orders were sharp and decisive: Arrest the chief of police and the policemen engaged in the assault. Put them in irons and send them aboard ship. Arrest the NJ. caraguan officers and men engaged in the assault and hold them for orders"
 It was thought possible that an at tempt would be made to release the sol diers and police captured by the blue jackets. so men were landed from the Paducah to occupy La Guna, and ad. ditional men were landed from the Marietta.
 The Paducah moved to a position fronting the Nicaraguan cuartels, while the Marietta covered the cuartels iu the port.

NEW YORK, May 4.-"Life is a gam. ble. Everything is a gamble. When the farmer plants his corn he is gam bling. Sometimes he loses. sometimes he wins. Every man who goes into business embarks upon speculation. Of course the element of judgment en- ters in, but the element of chance can. not be ruled out.

Stage Fright in First Four
Innings Lost Game.
MATHER PITCHED GREAT GAME
Lawrence Gould Not Find Him
After Fourth Inning. Paw
Paw Cubs Win at Lawton

Base ball enthusiasm is again waking
up in Paw Paw, although it is doubtful
if we will have city team this season.
The high school team went to Law
renee last Saturday and crossed bats
with the strong Lawrence team The
Paw Paw team was nervous for the first
four innings and made several errors,
which with timely hitting by the Law
renee boys gave them lead of II runs.
The Paw Paw boys then got into the
game, Mather's arm got in working or
der and Lawrence did not make hit
during the remainder of the game
Lawrence has an excellent team this
year, but outside of the first four innings
they were outclassed by the Paw Paw
team. 1t was a much better game than
the scere would indicate.
The same teams play on the local
diamond tomorrow afternoon Saturday
and it will undoubtedly be an interesting
contest. Summary of game:

STUDENTS AT WORK
SCHOOL REOPENS AFTER THE
HOLIDAY VACATION.
Most of the Boys are Back -Delin-
quentS Will Arrive the Coming
Week-FeW Repairs Made Dur
ing VdCdtiOn-StudentS All Re-
port Pleasant Holiday Season.
(From Sundays Daily.)

Northwestern University is again
laive and students have taken hold of
their books after two weeks of vaca-
ton. REGULATIONS commenced Thurs
day morning at the usual time 80
O'Clock with appropriate ceremonies.
After a short address to the student
body by the president of tthe insti-
tuition, Prof. A. L. Ernst, in the col
lege chapel, the different classes went
to their espective class rooms. Near
ly all students had returned punctually
being present for the, chapel exer
cises,. By today all students, are
present with the exception of about
ten boys who will arrive during the
beginning of this week.
ANY one interested in Christmas
stories could certainly find abundant
material to write a book of several
hundred pages, if he takes the trouble
and patience OF listening to the many
stories told by the boys during their
free time. In nearly every room may
be found number of students telling
of things he did, what he saw and what
he heard, some report of having sleigh
ing every day while at home. While
the boys were gone the recitation
building and the dormitory received a
general cleaning and minor things
were repaired. The halls and stair
ways were oiled IN the recitation
hall. The students reading room.
which has so far been in one of the
lower rooms of the main building, was
taken over to the dormitory, where
a special room had been made for it
when the building was erected, but
which had not been finished and ar
ranged for it's purpose until during
this Christmas vacation. This room is
also fitted with many reference books
for studies, the students have there
fore serves at the same time for
reference room. The former reading
room has been turned into an assem-
oily room for the city boys, where
they may leave their books etc., and
study during free periods. Quite an
innovation is the table in Mr.. Bolle's
class room for the business depart
ment. It's so arranged that acade-
my students can perform actual bust
ness now.
