TURKEY" PRESENTATION
Friends of William Watson Honor Him
With a "Consolation" Prize.


With Consolation" Prize.
A party of friends. headed by viii
liam Lowe of the Pollord & Lowe auto
mobile company, appeared at the night
lunch cafe on Main street conducted
by William Watson Monday evening
and after a few appropriate words of
consolation presented the proprietor
with the prize fowl of the Thanksgiv-
ing season. Last Thursday evening
Watson had visions of a fine bird that
was to occupy the center of his dinner
table on Sunday. but through COM
bination of other captains of industry
Mr.. Watson was deprived of his tur
key dinner.
The loss of the turkey preyed upon
Mr.. Watsons mind to such an extent
that his friends became anxious over
his mental condition and in order to
prevent a collapse arranged the pre-
sentation of Monday evening. The
bird was prepared in royal style and
would have made a complete feast for
the heir apparent to the thrown of
Spain. Mr.. Watson. as everyone
knows, never aspired to the bantam"
weight honors, fact which perhaps
accounts for his lack OF appreciation
when the presentation was made

be terminated in one or two ways:
Either by the breaking out Of a
revolution directed against the Cab
rera's government, or BY the decision
of the latter to yield to Mexican de-
smands for Lima's extradition.
Guatemalans assert that a very
active junta exists in Mexico with OBJ
ject Of financing and starting a.
revolution in Guatemala against the
existing government and it is pointed
out that Gen. Barrillas was assassi-
mated because he was the head Of
that junta. Naturally with strained
relations beaween Mexico and Guate-
mala resulting from a termination Of
all diplomatic intercourse, it might
be supposed that the Mexican gov
eminent would not be particularly
diligent and earnest in its efforts to
curb the activities of this junta in
the matter Of getting arms and men
across the border into Guatemala;
hence the belief that an active revolu-
ton may be expected. 555 4

down to their final preparation work

Various reports as to moves tend

sides indicates that they are ready
to go to bar for trial.
The only preliminary proceedings
IS the motion by defense for a bill

which the state hopes to show that
Haywood conspired in the murder
of Steunenberg. This motion, which
