IN MEXICO CITY
Former President Of Nicaragua,
Travelling In Luxury, Cheered
by Big Crowd

MEXICO CITY. Dec. 29.-Jose San
tos Zelaya. former president Of Nicar-
aqua. arrived In Mexico City today
and was received unofficially by the
government A large delegation Of
Central Americans waited his arrival
and he was cheered when he reached
here In special car attached to one
OF the regular trains.
zeiaya was not greeted by Presi-
dent Diaz. nor did he pay call on
the president today, but II is under
stood he will confer with Diaz soon
over the Central American situation.
IL Is believed the conference will take
place before Friday and that II will
have considerable effect on instruc-
tons to be issued Ambassador De La
Barra, who leaves for Washington on
that day with special instructions re-
garding the Nicaraguan situation.
II Is openly admitted In diplomatic
circles now that the mission Of Special
Ambassador Creel In washington has
failed, and De La Barra will endeavor
to secure cooperation In a new plan.
II Is generally believed here Zelaya
will be held virtually a prisoner and
should he leave Mexico he will he
watched to prevent his returning to
Nicaragua. II Is rumored that a plot
against Zelaya's life has been discov-
cred and the police are using every
precaution to prevent him meeting the
fate of Gen. Barilla, who was murdered
here two years ago at the instigation
of Estrada Cabrera, of Guatemala. Ca
brera Is also an enemy of Zelaya.
The government Is planning a re-
ception to Zelaya at which Diaz Will
attend:
Just what attitude the government
takes toward Zelaya's Nicaraguan
position cannot be determined, but II
Is known however, that Zelaya con-
siders himself still president, al
though he resigned. II is thought he
will soon endeavor to return and re-
sumo his authority.
Zelaya Is In good spirits since he
reached here. He jokingly remarked
that he has come to offer the Nicara-
guam presidency TO Zungia Mirand.

WOLVES AND FOXES.
Wild Animals Are Not Extinct Along
Skunk River.

Should Chief Mahaska return to
earth and to his former haunts in the
woods of the Skunk river valley, he
would find a few remnants of the in
habitants of his old-time hunting
grounds. Foxes and wolves still
roam wild in Mahaska county, al.
though their numbers are rapidly
diminishing. Yesterday Joe Mieris
a hired man at the Ed Anderson farm
near the water works pumping station
on Skunk river, found nest of si1
foxes. Four of them were killed and
the men are now in search of the old
mates. They were found within a
quarter of a mile of the Anderson
home. Martin Mitchell has also cap
tured three wolves In the same neigh
borhood and has them now in cap
tivity. He will endeayor to tame
them for pets.

Given Bonds.

Three of the eight indictments which
were returned by the April grand jury
in their first report to the court have
not been made public as the parties
have not been placed in custody or I'M
der appearance bonds. Two of these
true bills were found against men ac-
cused of selling booze illegally. The
other is against John r. Kearns for
wife desertion. The latter case will
probably be continued upon the de-
fendant's giving bonds to support his
family. A special session of the grand
jury will be called for next Monday,
when an investigation will be made of
the evidence against VIM. Kirkpatrick,
accused of assault with intent to COM
NIT murder, and against Albert Kin
ney on the same charge. 1t is proba-
BILE that neither investigation will re-
quire much time. In case an indict,
ment should be returned against either
of these parties before the date of
their trial in the justice court the form
of preliminary hearing will be waiv.
ed and the cases taken directly to the
district court.

severely plain. 1t is two stories with
a hip roof. A large porch relieves the
otherwise unbroken lines of the build

the outside appearance.
