Immediately around Ell Paso appears

and telegraph advices bring news of
fghting, preparations for fighting,
murders and robberies.
Torreon is now expecting an attack
from Luis Moya's rebel bandit band.
barbados have been placed in all
streets leading to the presidential and
the jail and these places are well de-
Tended. A gatling gun, a guard of
tlfty men and Notifications have been
placed on the hill overlooking the
western portion Of the city. Barbed
wire has been freely used.
Two forces of 300 men each are
camped on two sides Of San Pedro,
expecting a third force to join them in
an attack on the town. The presi-
dencia, the jail and the Parroll bank
are fortified with cotton bales.
A body Of men camred between
Mazas and Benavides and burned the
railroad bridge tWenty-one kilometers
from San Pedro, putting the line out
of commission beyond that town. San
Pedro is the home of many rich plant
ers and of members of the Naica
Mining company, and early in the
week the insurrecto leaders expressed
their intention Of levying tribute on
these people in the sum of 100000.
Among those on the list was the house
of Purcell, whose interests in that sec
ton are worth millions.
The situation at Velardena is grow
ing serious. An order has been is
sued to Captain Cortez, in command
of about 125 troops which have been
stationed in Velardena, to move his
force to Torreon, and the order was
Immediately executed and the march
begun. This caused great anxiety in
Asarco, Velardena and Pedricena and
pressure was brought to bear to have
the troops returned to those places.
The command Of Captain COrteZ was
deemed sufficient to hold the camp
against the 500 revolters who are in
that neighborhood and who began an
advance on the camps as soon as the
orders to the troops to vacate were
made known to them. The order has
been given for the troops to return to
Velardena.
Rebel leaders served notice on
Pedricent that they would enter that
camp and as a preliminary about 800
took the town of Pedricena for a
while, demolishing the railway station
and robbing all the stores No kill
ing was done.
The railroads are again in bad
shape The Hipolito branch operated
only as far as San Pedro, the Central

reon, with the wires cut beyond La
Noria, the International to Pedricena,
the Coahuila and Pacific to Viesca,

TN the invention and perfection of
the automobile, mind has certainly
IL triumphed over matter. The per-
fected machine is not only here, but it
has come to stay.
In the Wisconsin Legislature Of 1915
there was enacted into law a bill, intro
duced by Assemblyman Kearton Coates
of the town Ct Linden, which &ppro
priated ''the sum of ten thousand dol
lars to be used as bounty, and to be
paid to any citizen Of Wisconsin who
shall invent, and after five years con
tinued use, shall produce a machine
propelled by steam or other motive
agent, which shall be a cheap and prac-
tical substitute for the use of horses
and other animals on the highway and
farm
Efforts were made to invent and per-
feet such machine, and in 1879 an act
was passed to give to the claimants of
the bounty the sum of five thousand
dollars; but it was stated in the act that
it was not to be construed as IAN ad
mission that said wagon was a satisfac
tory compliance with the requirements
of said acts"
But inventive genius triumphed. The
wonderful automobile came in due
course of time.
