strikers have ceased all acts Of vio.

ness Of the affair, however, was real
ized today when 1t was made known
that thirty Of the workmen were Kill

soldiers who were compelled te fire on
the main body Of the rioters before
they could be dispersed. It wan lesrn-
ed that the men, after pillaging the
stores at the Rio Blanco mills, became
emb oldened by their SUCCESS. A part
OF the men rushed to Nogales, short
distance away where another mill is
located. Telegraph, telephone and
electric light wire were cut and pawn
shops and private houses were pillag-
ed. Then the jails were tL1o~n open
and the prisoners set free. Residents
Of the mill district fed in terror to
the city Of Orizaba. When the strik-
ers reached Nogales one official and
one gendarne from Orizsba made an
Intellectual effort to check them. The
striker named Moreles threw q huge
stone as Senior Herrera, mayor Of the
city Of Odzabs, striking the official

South Dakota, Governor E!ro said,

the State University, to which il was
given, should not have touched 1t, be-
cause 1t was tainted.
Il recommend" said the governor
''that the legislature pass IN act car

Morally we have no right to a cent Of

The retiring governor said it is evil
dent that ingenious schemecs are u.s.

The case OF South Dakota vs.
North Carolina is the first Of sinilal
suits to be brought to compel the sew

An individual cannot sue state
