CONDITIONS NORMAL
IN MEXICO TODAY

Pass is reported quiet. Troops,
both federal and rurales, are sta
toned near the town and can be
rushed in to guard American prop
erty If it is deemed necessary. A
guard has been placed about the
partially wrecked consulate.
The Mexican consul at Eagle
Pass today began an investigation
Of the lynching of Antonio Rodri-
guez at Rock Springs, whose death
was the immediate cause of the
demonstrations at the Mexican cap
ital. Governor Campbell has ar
ranged ample protection to the con-
sui while the investigation is under
way. In the meantime the state au.
thorities are investigating the mat
ter on their own account and will
report the facts at the earliest pos
sible moment to the state depart
ment at Washington.
The feeling at Rock Springs has
not been changed by the riots in
Mexico. The people there freely
express the opinion that Rodriguez
deserved the fate that was given
him and say they were justified in
burning him at the stake.

James j. furnish. was born Feb

In the fall of 1861, he moved west
with his parents to Portage county
Wisconsin, and settled on a farm
Cor, as Mr.. furnish puts it, Chop
ped one out of the Wilderness at
Buena Vista. Wisconsin was then
a pioneer state and the hardships
of settlers in a wild, unsettled coun
try were shared by the family from
Gloucester.
In 1877 Mr.. furnish, who had
been acquiring an expert knowl
edge of timber in the virgin forests
of Wisconsin, started west on a
tour of exploration. His journey
brought him eventually into the

northern Idaho, until then undis

DECLARES SHE
NEVER bOOzED

Mrs. Frank Sellers, on the wit
ness stand yesterday afternoon in
the divorce suit brought by her hus-
band, denied that she had drank to
excess and laid the blame for the
domestic troubles between herself
and Sellers on the latter's brother.
She alleges that up to the time
that he arrived on the scene. their
domestic course had been married
by "only such quarrels as come to
any married couple" After the ar
rival of the brother, however, she
alleges that he preJudiced her
spouse and caused him to treat her
coldly.
"All wanted" she testified, was
the love and affection he should
have given me-" The climax of the
domestic troubles was reached last
summer when one evening Mrs. Sol
lers proceeded to shoot up" her
husbands drug store on North Mon
roe street. During the fusillade
many bottles and the big plate mir
ror were smashed and Sellers
sought refuge in the cellar. Mrs.
Sellers stated that this action was
prompted, not by malice, but rather
by worries over her troubles. She
occupied the witness stand all the
afternoon.

LAUNDRY FOR
CITY IS NEXT

A laundry will be provided by the
city at the isolation hospital. This
was decided yesterday after two
members of the board of public
works had visited the hospital and
looked over the situation.
1t has been decided to have the
work done under the direction of a
city foreman of construction, in
stead of having it done by contract,
as the need for the laundry is i'm
perative. AS a consequence it was
deemed wise to go ahead with the
work at once and not take the time
necessary for advertising for bids
and letting regular city contract.

BERktLEY'S five
SUbDUfS OAKLAND
College Town Basket BaHerS
Take Early Lead and Hold
1t to the Finish

The basket ball team representing
the Berkeley high school yesterday
defeated the. Oakland high school ag-
gregation on the Berkeley courts by
score of 81 to %. 1t was the sixth
annual struggle between the teams, and
it proved to be one of the most inter-
esting and best played contests of the
present season. A large crowd of root
ers of both teams was present.
Berkeley took the lead at the out
set and never lost it. The boys from
the college town won because of their
superior team work and aggressive tao
tics. The Oaklanders played a good
game at that but they were never able
to overcome the big lead which their
opponents started off with. Oakland
finished fast the final squirt, however,
coming too late.
At the call of time one of the Oak
land players threw the ball into the
well filled bleachers and for moment
it looked as though a riot would result,
but the crowd quickly filed out and
further trouble was aVerted.
The feature of the game was the
great work of Bogardus for Berkeley.
He threw no less than IL out of II
tries from the foul lines. 1t was his
accuracy which gave Berkeley its early
lead
The Berkeley boys have qualified to
meet the Cogswell five of this city on
Thursday afternoon for the champion
ship of the Bay Counties athletic
league. This game should prove to be
the best one of the season, as both
teams are strong and flushed with
their recent victories.
