Del Rio, Texas, June 27.-An at
tack was made on the Mexican gar

site Del Rio, on the Mexican side
yesterday at daybreak by about 100
armed bandits. Trouble had been an
ticipated for some time with the rev.

were well prepared for the attack.
The revolutionists here evidently or
ganized in Del Rio, as a large guam
tity of ammunition was sold here
Thursday. The fighting lasted until
after 10 O'Clock and it is estimated
that several thousand shots were ex-
changed, which could be plainly
heard on this side of the river. 1t is
impossible to tell the number killed
and wounded, as communication has
been entirely cut off all day and no
one has been allowed to cross the
river. Early in the morning P. Ram

wounded, was brought into Del Rio,
and it was learned that Captain Per-

Corsicana Elks Could Not Make Con-

One hit and one score for Waxa-

Corsicana. Such in brief Is the story
of the contest between the Elks
teams of these two cities on the 10
cal diamond Friday afternoon.
The game was closely contested
but it was quite evident that the
players were lacing in ginger. The
visitors opened the game but were
soon retired. Waxahachie met a si-
milar fate and this proceeding was
continued until the seventh inning,
when the home team secured score
on wild throw from second to
first. This run was made by Beimeir
who landed hit for first and then
stole second and third The star work
for Waxahachie was by the battery,

to Fort Worth Sunday to join the
league team of that city. Although
the visitors could, not make connec-
tion with the home plate they out
played the local team at almost every
point in the game. The battery was
composed of Kerr and Simpkins, who
were given good support by the
team. The feature work of the visit

Reese and Livsey had some trou-

threats.
Armed with shotguns they met
yesterday morning at the saw mill,
where both we're employed, and
opened fire when within ten steps.
Reese was struck in the side, and
lodging behind his horse essayed to
shoot again when Livsey fired his
other barrel, one shot striking Reese
in the temple and producing death in
twenty minutes. One of Livsey' s
shots pierced the undischarged load
in Reese's gun, showing how near
Livsey was to death when he shot
the last time.
Both men were known for their
bravery and were the best of citi-
zens They were related by marriage.

wife and two sons, 10 and l 2 years

Archibald was forced to dismiss her
class while she went after a monster
pine snake which had crawled into
the classroom.
The attacks of the snakes and
other creeping and unlovely things
are frequent in Miss Archibald s
schoolhouse, which has seen it's best
days. The surroundings are not of
the most inspiring nature. Within an
earshot of the house is a cemetery
