OF IMPENDING ATTACK

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
Ell PASO, Texas, Feb 3-Ciudad
Jaurez is practically depopulated,
everyone who could having fed to
this side of the Rio Grande The
postoffice and banks there have been
closed and all of the records and

fortified aud cannons have been
mounted on the roofs of the public

promised a stubborn resistance when
the assault on the city which the rebel
commander had set for o'clock this
afternoon, should begin
Advancing In Big Force.
The rebel army. under command Of
General Orozco is advancing in force
and outnumbers the garrison Of
Juarez. Orozco complied with all the
demands of warfare, by notifying the
foreign consuls that he would shell
the city at the designated hour and
giving them sufficient time to get their
people out of the city.
That the Federal troops hardly eX-
pect to retain the city is shown by
the action Of the. police in blowing up
last night the government powder
house on the Mesa, in order TO pre-
vent it falling into the hands Of the
rebels.
Orozco's brother is in the Juarez
Jail, held on a charge of treason. The
rebel commander sent word to the
officials that if his brother is harmed.
he will make reprisals on the mayor
and the city officials when he captures
the city
Abraham Gonzales, provisional gov
ernor of Chihuahua, who Is here, said
today that the city would be taken
by assault if il does not surrender.

Row to Use a Life Preserver.

"The worst trouble about life
preserver," said an old sailor, 'is that
few people know what to do with one
when it's thrown to them. Many a
man would drown in trying to get a
life preserver over his head.
"The average person struggling
about in the water would try to lift up
the big life ring and put it over his
head. That only causes the man to
sink deeper and take more water into
his lungs.
"The proper way to approach a life
preserver in the water is to take hold
of the side nearest you and press upon
1t with all your weight. That causes
the other side to'fly up in the air and
down over your head, ringing you as
neatly as man ringing a cane at a
county fair. After that the drowning
man can be rescued" the
American Boy.

p. H. s. WON.

In one of the best and fastest
games of football ever played on the
local grounds, Perryburg High School
won from their old time rivals, the
Maplewoods, of Toledo, by the score
of to o.
The Maplewoods were expecting
an easy victory, but were greatly sur
prised at the fast work of the P. II.
S. team, which made repeated gains
through Maplewood's heavy line and
around their ends-especiall the
latter-taking 10 and IL yards at a
time.
One notable feature of the game
was the easy way in which Perrys-
burg High handled the forward pass
and by this they were able to make
large gains.
Perrysburg High held their oppo
nents to a to 0 score until the
last quarter when the only tally Ct
the game was made by 80 yard
drop kick by Charles Kapp.
The game was an exact repetition
of the one played here two years
ago; drop kick within three yards Of
first game and over the same goal;
score made in about same numbe
of minutes from end of game; gams
ended with 1.-THE ball nearly the same
distance from Maplewood's goal as
previous game. Nearly half of the
P. H. S. players Saturday, played
two years ago while the Maplewood
had practically the same line up
