Aqua Prieta Incident Closed.

Washington. May 4.-The state De-
partment regards as a closed incident
the recent operations of federal and in
surgent forces at Aqua Prieta, concern
ing which the Washington government
formally complained to Mexico. The
two governments now agree as TO the
facts and the amended Mexican reply is
entirely satisfactory 10 Washington.
The basis of the complaint 10 Mexico
was that several Americans in Douglas
Ariz., had been killed or wounded by
bullets which crossed the boundary in
the sighting at Aqua Prieta. which is just
across the international line from Doug
las 1t led to warning from President
Taft to both federals and insurgents that
the lives of Americans must not be en-
dangered by border fighting.

Was Supposed to Have Been
Buriod-Returns to Her Home.

Newton, Kan.-Fourteen years ago
Bertha Peterson Of Newton eloped
with Frank Noble against the wishes
Of her parents. A year later she was
reported to have died after her mar.
rage and her supposed grave wal
pointed out to her parents in q Wichi-
Ia cemetery. Each year the parents
have decorated the grave. Recently
they received a letter from Mrs. Noble
OF Clinton. Ia. stating that she IL
prosperous, happy and the mother OF
four children. She was told to come
home at once and meet her parents
and old friends.
The parents could hardly believe
their eyes as they read again and
again the lines which unfolded the
pent up love Of daughter. who no
longer could control her heart, yearn-
ing once more to inquire about the old
folks at home.
Mrs. Noble knew nothing OF her sup
posed burial in Wichita, until she ar
rived at Newton.
