Revenge Against Cannon.

New Orleans. La. Dec. 2-Behind the execution of LeRoy Cannon. who. with Leonard Groce. was shot by or- der of President Zelaya of Nicaragua. is 8 story of personal revenge on the part of the Nicaraguan Chief Execu- tive, according to passengers arriv- ing here last night from Honduran ports.
 To execute Cannon, the execution of Groce was also called for. as they were both captured under similar con- ditions. But 1t was Cannon at whom Zelaya aimed a shaft of personal en- mity. nourished for many months.
 Cannon followed General Chamor- TO in the war Of Bonilia against ze- laya. in 1907. His daring and ingenu- ity in that contest gave Zelaya much uneasiness.
 Cannon's intrepid leadership was re- nowned throughout Central America. During the movement against the Da- villa government In Honduras in 1908 Cannon was sent with his battalion to capture Respire. He met the Hondur- an forces and at first defeated them. Ills ammunition was finally exhaust ed. Nonplussed. however. ther pursu- ing forces successfully chased the enemy with rocks until reinforce ments arrived to aid the fleeing men.
 Cannon was betrayed captured. sent to Choluteca for trial and probably would have been condemned and shot but Davilla granted amnesty. Cannon was sent to the coast under escort. Since then he resided in Guatemala. It was upon General Chamorro's ta- king the field under Estrada that Cannon Joined his old chief.
 Bluefields, Nicaragua, Dec. 1.-The Norwegian steamer Stavengeren mas arrived here from New York with arms. and ammunition for the insur- gents.
 up to this time by lack of ammu- hilton but 1t is now announced at the insurgent camp that the plan of ao- tion will be changed. General Estra- da immediately assuming the aggres- sive.
 General Chammorro has arrived here and reports that the situation at Greytown Is unchanged. The troops of President Zelaya are mak- ing no effort to evacuate the city or so far as can be learned. making any preparation for the announced march upon Bluefields. The insurgents here claim to be confident of ultimate suc- cess They state that recruits are arriving from many sources and daily strengthening Estradas cause.
 The impression Is general that the situation now existing will soon end despite President zelaya's claims to the contrary.
 It is reported that the Nicaraguan president has less than 5000 troops at all points with which to attack the insurgents and regain the Eastern coast, which has been lost to him. Many prominent liberals who are fu- l gitives from Managua are joining the forces of General Chammorro. 1 Achievements have been sent to General Matuty, who received a de- cisive victory over the government troops near Ramaon Monday. He an- nounces that he expects another en- gagement today. Matuty is a Peru vian and relieved General Fornias Diaz at the head of the insurgent forces. Diaz is incapacitated by ill., ness.

Cherry, ILL., Nov. 24.-Rescuers,
working all night, located many
bodies in the east side of the lower

some rescuers saying 169 bodies, al

fire broke out. The bodies We're

reason they were not found by the
rescuers yesterday. The dead men

in a quandary whether to try to open
the west side upper tunnel, where liv-
ing men may be, or take out the
bodies. If they open the west tunnel
they will risk reviving fire In that
section, which was fought all night.
1t is impossible to confirm the es-
innate of 1863. No effort was made
to count the bodies. The estimate is
based on a message scratched in Ital-
ian on a piece of slate near the
bodies. Translated II reads. 1--WE die
together, 1863" II Is barely legible.
Rescuers say 1t might be 1G or 60.

Representative F. E. Graves
Of McCracken County. will
Lead Fight in House.-None
West Of Bowling Green.

A state normal school for the Pur-
chase will be the slogan of a fight in
the next session of the Legislature
with Representative Eugene Graves
as a leader. With all of the repre-
sentatlves of the western part of the
state lined up for the school the
fight may be successful, and If Sc
cured Paducah may be selected as a
location owing to its accessibility for
all parts of the Purchase.
This morning Mr.. Graves said:
at was one of the reasons that /
made the race for reelection; for II
a normal school is needed anywhere
1t certainly is in the western part of
the state. At the approaching ses-
SION an effort will be made to estab-
lish a normal school in the old state
buildings in Frankfort, but | am go
ing to oppose this with vigor. The
western part of the state has long
been neglected in locating of state
institutions, while other sections of
the state are well equipped with
schools The nearest normal school
for pupils from this part of the state
is Bowling Green. and | think II
would be unfair to establish a new
normal school in Frankfort, while
the normal school at the State Uni
versity is only a few miles away.
hope that the fight for the normal
school in the Purchase will be sue
cessful, and II is certainly needed"

lied, II is certain that every town in

its size and the facilities of transport
tation.

will introduce will be to require the
railroads to repair cars and equip
ment on the division on which it be-
came disabled. Such a bill has been
passed by the Texas legislature, and

He intended to introduce the bill at
the last session, but as the senatorial
race overshadowed everything II was
not done. At present railroads send
cars to any shops convenient for re-
pairs.
