GREER rs REPORTED
TO BE STILL ALIVE
American Said to Have Been
Killed at Casas Grandes

Carrizozo, N NJ, March 20.-G. B.
Greer. of Parsons, N. NJ, has received
a letter stating that his son, John F.
Greer, reported killed in the battle of
Casas Grandes. is alive, although he
received flesh wound in the hip and
was injured in the face by a CHANGING
bullet.
The letter. which was postmarked El
Paso, said:
II write this at the request Of J. F.
Greer, whom I met during the retreat
of Madero's army from the battle of
Casas Grandes to San Diego, where he
now is.
HE wished me to assure you that
he was all right, although wounded.
He was shot with Mauser in the hip,
inflicting a bad flesh wound. He was
also slightly wounded in the face by
a bullet striking a stone in front Of
him and glancing him in his face.
Another close shave he had was the
cylinder Of his six shooter being shot
out of his belt; his horse was shot.
But am pleased to say he was still
on the job, winchester in hand, belt
empty, on a horse behind a Mexican
who had but one eye left, holding him
in the saddle, making a good get away.
He reached San Diego safely, where
his wounds were dressed, and the last
time I saw him ne was as good as
new"

Which is another feather from the

his men only had one. Therefore they

Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, March
17.-(By Mafl.)-This city and Sonora
generally is just now feeling the first
financial pinch that comes directly
from the revolution The government
has notified the banks that all the
federal and state funds on deposit
must be held subject to immediate
call Thus the large sums of state and
federal money heretofore held by GER
tain favored financial institutions and
loaned ont by them, has been called in
by the banks.
The merchants and others who Dor
rowed this money are called upon to
pay, so the business men of Sonora
are drawing sight drafts on each other
and real money is scarce.
There has been a feeling of uneasi-
ness and rumors of pending attack in
this city, which was somewhat relieved
by the arrival last night from the
south of $50 troopers Of the regular
army and Capt. Barron with a COM
pany Of rurales.
News reached here late today that a
considerable force of revoIutionists
are near the great mining camp Of
Mines Prietas, only 80 miles from
here. It is said that the federal troops
arriving here last night came to head
off any attack on this city from the
revolutionary force now threatening

Motor Trucks in Maneuvers.
From Automobile Topics

From Automobile Topics.
A three and a five ton automobile truck
gave excellent service in the recent army
maneuvers near Boston, Mass. They were
Gramm trucks, which were assigned to
the Cd Regiment, Infantry. and placed In
charge of Capt A. A. Brigham of the
commissary department and Capt. Mar
tin, quartermaster Of the same regiment.
The five-ton truck, in addition to haul
ing a capacity load at all times, also
pulled along an army wagon, and the
three-ton truck performed a similar duty
in a most satisfactory manner. The
trucks plowed through the mud with
their heavy loads and went through fields
where horse-drawn vehicles could not
travel.
The I'd Regiment quartermaster says
that never again will his command take
the field unless 1t has a complement Of
these trucks. Their work was a revela-
ton to him. and he cannot speak In any
too great praise of the manner in which
these trucks operated.

OFFICERS ARE JUeILANT
Believe Vessels Soon Will Have Bat

After shooting a shell $4,000 feet into
the air and closer to the skies than
an aeroplane has ever flown, the ex-
periments with the new naval gun,
destined to destroy the airships of an
enemy, were temporarily concluded at
the Indian Head. Md, naval proving
grounds yesterday. 1t was announced
that both the new weapon and it's car
riage had proven eminently satisfac-
tory.
Fifty rounds were fired in yester-
days tests. The maximum range of
$4,000 feet was reached when the gun
was elevated at an angle of IS de-
grees. The shot flashed accurately
through a course for 10000 feet. Be

falling into the Potomac 1900 feet
away from a spot where it had been
reckoned 1t would drop. The trials
were in charge of Commander J. H.
Holden.
Get Valuable Information.
Rear Admiral Nathan c. Twining. chief
of the naval bureau Of ordnance, and
designer Of the new gun, expressed the
conviction that the carriage feature of
the weapon had been perfected. During
three days trial at Indian Head, Admiral
Twining added, valuable information also
had been obtained upon which TO base
the design Of a sight for the aerial gun.
The ordnance experts now will begin
work on an improved sighting apparatus
and no further tests of the new gun
will be undertaken until the problem has
been perfected.
The idea Of this one-pounder will be
developed into three-inch gun. Naval
ordnance experts believe that such a
weapon would shoot seven miles into the
air. The favorable performances of the
| new carriage caused naval officers jubi-
| iantly to express the belief that before
| long American warships will be equipped
| with another battery Of guns to fight
! hostile invaders in the air.
