SPEEDY AUT0|STS
WILL Be FINED
ONE FAST DRIVER ARRESTED
AND OTHERS ON THE IIST
WILL BE ARRESTE..
LATER,

The fast driving autoists reached
the limit in the city Thursday when
many drivers to the TAR grounds in
transportation Of the people to the
circus threw all caution to the wind
and cut out a pace that at times was
terrifying to the passengers in the
sibility of accidents. There were
many vehicles travelling to and fro
from the grounds and most of them
going one route there was quite a
good deal of hazard in the fast driy-
ing.
Chief Shade took the situation in
hand and Travelled after some of the
flying autos and discovered that they
were far exceeding the speed limit in
the city, which is regulated by the
ordinance as a mile in six minutes.
The chief got all the numbers that
he could.
The chief made one arrest, Ed
mund Theiesen of Artesian. He came
over to attend the circus and saw
the opportunity to make a few dol
lars by hauling passengers to the
grounds. Theiesen did. not put any
great amount of limit on the speed
of his machine and the chief was
able to land him before he got out
of town in the evening. He was TAX
en- before Justice Drake, and pleaded
guilty. The court imposd a fine of
$40 which Mr.. Theiesen paid.
Chief Shade said that he had the
numbers of several other parties who
were INDUCING in the fast driving.
He will send out to Pierre and secure
the names of the owners of the ma
chimes and as soon as that informa-
ton comes he will start proceedings,
The effort seems to be sincere on
the part of the officers to stop the
speeding of machines in the city, and
one mile in six minutes, they say,
will have to be adhered to in the fu-
ture.

MENA DEFEATS
GEN. CHAVARR|A
Madriz Forces Thoroughly De-
moralized, Flying in Every d.
rection, Leaving Dead.
ACTION OF UNITED STATES
In Ruling Insurgents Mny Receive
Biuciicids Customs Receipts Con-
siderci Victory for Estrada.

Bluefelds, Me. June 4.-Advices re-
ceived here state that the insuraent
forces under Gen. Mena at Rama, have
defeated and put TO fight the govern
ment troops commanded by Gen.
Chavarrla.
following the withdrawal OF the
Maurlz forces from the vicinity OF this
city Gen. Chamorro with 400 men was
dispatched to Rama TO reinforce Gen.
Neha' Gen. Chemorro arrived at
Nema Thursday morning and Gen.
Menn at once sent messenger to the
government headquarters in the field
orering Chavarria ~ hours In which
to surrender or fight.
In reply Chavarria made a dash from
fortified position On hni close to
Rama with the object. 1t is said, Of es-
Gaping to the interior.
When Gen, Mena learned that the
enemy was escaping he sent Gen.
Recreo with a strong force to cut of
its retreat An engagement followed
and continued for three hours when
the troops OF President Madriz became
thoroughly demoralized and fed in
every direction leaving their dead and
wounded on the field
on Thursday evening Thomas Il.
Monat, tho American consul issued a
proclamation declaring that vessels
entering the port OF Bluehelds must
pay custom duties TO the government
headed By Gen. Estrada the revolu-
tionary leader. Subsequently the
schooner Caye entered the harbor and
was not lnterfered with by the gov
eminent officials who are In possession
OF the custom house on Bluehelds blum.
Tho action Of the United States I'm
ruling that the reVolutionists may
receive customs duties has been re-
ceivod with enthusiasm and is consid
cred great victory for Gen. Estrada.
Its effect Is 10 rob the government OF
the fruits Of its capture OF Blueftelds
blum and the customs, which. after
being seized by the insurgents. were
recently taken by the troops loyal to
the administration OF President Madriz
The American decision also destroys
the effectiveness OF the government
steamer Venus, which Is lying on Blue
nelds but is rendered impotent TO aid
President Madriz in subduing the re-
bellious territory on the Atlantic coast.
II is believed here that Gen Mend
has by this time surrounded and cap
tured Chavarria's army.
