HONDURAS AWAITS ATTACK.
GUNBOAT HORNET REPORTED
NEAR PUERTO CORTEZ.
Reports of Fighting Indicate Begin
ming OF Activities on Part Of Re-
Observation-Disclosures Residents
Cautioned to Remain Indoors
After Trouble Starts Marines
From Tacoma to Protect Ameri-
can Interests.

Puerto Cortez, Honduras, Dec.
80. (Via Wireless to New Orleans
An attack upon Puerto Cortez, by
the revolutionary gunboat Hornet,
which was reported several miles off
this coast late last night, is expect
ed hourly. Several hundred Gov
ernment troops arrived here yester-
day from Tegucigalpa and others
came in this morning. Fighting has
already started at Los Quabrada,
according to reports which reached
here this morning.
Following rumors that the Unit
ed States cruiser Tacoma had sight
ed the Hornet last night, the Ameri
can consul, at the instance of Com
nander Davis, Of the Tacoma, today
warned all Americans to remain in
doors after the trouble starts. No
tice was given the commandants to-
day that the Tacoma will tomorrow
land marines to protect American
interests here.
The Honduran gunboat Tatumbla
Is In the harbor, but her two one
Founders are not expected to be of
much use In defending the town
against an attack by the Hornet,
which is reported as having four
six-inch modern rifles and three ma
chine guns. =.
Guatemalan troops arrived at
Morales last night, which move is
taken here to mean that a land at
tack by the Honduran revolutionists
Is expected along the border.
Las Quabrada is a small town In
the department Of Santa Barbara,
miles south of Puerto
Cortez, In section where Manuel
Bonilla, former President and lead
er OF the revolutionists, has a large
following. The little mountain side
has been the scene Of several bat
ties In previous outbreaks.
1t is believed to be the plan of
Bonilla to attack Puerto Cortez with
the Hornet, while small body of
troops moves on the town from tho
South. According to rumors, which
have been current here for several
days, Gen Lee Christmas is to head
large body of troops which have
been rlobllzed along the Guatemalan
border and marcn against the Capt. |
tai, after Puerto Cortez ann San
Pedro are captured.
The towns people arc greatly ex-
cited and few people believe the at
tack upon the town will be DELAYED
more than forty-eight hours.

MUSIC ART CONCERT.
A Varied and Interesting Program
Offered.

The annual concert of the Musical
Art society will be held in the hall
of the Elks building next Friday even
ing, March 3. Special interest is at
%ached to the concert this year as the
program, instead of consisting of an
oratorio, will be made up OF several
short choruses the words of which will
be printed on the program. The So
ciety has been fortunate in securing
the services of Mr.. Hermann Springer,
baritone, who will assist the club by
singing several numbers. The pro-
gram is a distinctly interesting and
varied one, as may be seen from the
full program which follows:
Flight of the Holy Family, Max Bruch
Say, Waterman, What of the Night?
Arthur Sullivan
a. Come raggio di sol. Caldara
b. Die Mainacht Brahms
c. Die Forelle .........Sc Schubert

c. Banjo Song Homer

Thomas Morley
Night Song $500. Josef heinberger
You Stole My Love, Walter Macfarren
The chorus, Now Sinks the Sun"
which is from Parkef's @St. Christ
opher," is a beautiful example of vo-
cal part-writing and one of the COM
poser's most inspired works. worthy
of a place beside his t.Hora Novis-
sima," which established his fame in
other countries as the leading Amer
lean oratorio composer. April Is in
My Mistress Face" is a fascinating
seventeenth century madrigal from the
time when unaccompanied part-sing
ing was at its height in England.
The following have shown their in
terest in the success of the concert by
becoming honorary members of the
society: Miss Dorinda Abbott, Mr.. and
Mrs. S. E. Barber. Mr.. and Mrs. w.

CASEY JONES a REAL MAN.
Kansas City Man Says That He Knew
Him.

Kansas City, Feb. 25.-Over in the
corner OF the roundhouse, where or
Agnes, the biggest fool engine on the
road was putting away her indignation
at being forced to work on a double
header on the Belt Line grade, an en-
CINE wiper slowly was going his rounds
of the locomotive. f1aring his oil lamp
here and there. and, meantime, sing
ing:
Casey Jones mounted to de cabin:
Casey Jones, wifi his ohdahs in his
ham
Casey Jones mounted to de cabin
An stahted on his journey to de

After that followed Is more varie-
gated and sundry verses. Then the
man who was just ''jimmying around
became imbued with a spirit of Curl
Usity.
THAT things gone all over the coun-
try. hasn't it?" he asked.
The engine wiper paused. Then. as
he smeared a stately course of grease
across his face. he spoke.
Il knowed him well,' he said.
t|Who?"
Why. Casey Jones'"
Casey"
Sure; he's as real as anybody that
ever pulled a throttle. He used to live
out in California. or Jimmy made him
famous. You see, or Jimmy was a
wiper on tn Santa Fe. He and Casey
Jones. course that wasn't his real name,
but Jimmy just put it in there to
make things rhyme, were regular
pards Every night, when Casey'd come
new verse fixed up for him, something
like this:
They took po Casey to de eemeteree,
All in wood kimona jus bout six
foot three;
They laid him down in de col, col
groun
An tn weepin' family members
stahted back to town.
Casey Jones didn't mind it, Course,
it all started in joke, and gradually
him and Jimmy began fixing up
verses and verses. They started Casey
Jones out on the road and they got
him in wrecks and they took him to
the updertakers and they had his wife
see him there something like this:
Well, de engines bumped an Casey
flew,
Over de headlight an de pilot too,
Wife next dav seed his face all patched,
Said he'd made a good entry if he
hadn't got scratched.
And all the time. tn other fell
lows at the roundhOuSe We're getting
onto the thing and they liked the tune
and they began singing it and fixing
up verses to it, and then it began to
get out of the roundhouse and into the
city. Then a couple of vaudeville fell
lows got hold of the thing. sang it one
night on the stage and since then the
blooming engineers song has gone all
over the country. Yep, / knowed him

Then again through the roundhouse
came the words:

NEGROES GUILTY
 OF MANY THEFTS
Detectives Hope to. Put an End to Petty Thieving on
 Northside

Detectives Murphy, Fully and Ray yes- tcrday arrested two negroes whom they think 10 be the hall thieves that have been giving the residents on the Northside so much trouble during the past three weeks. No less than b burglaries have been re- ported to the police, and the arrests were made by the detectives after several days work
 The officers state that one of the ne- groes has confessed to them and impli- ce ted others. Through his. confession the detectives nave recovered large amount of property from places where the negroes had hidden it. The articles stolen were mostly purses and clothing, and the ne- eroes, sometimes made rich hauls.
 The detectives have 10 cases against the negroes. and expect to have more cases against them in few days They also expect to recover more property. The names of the negroes arrested are Julius Nathaniel Hurvey Sonny Boy Simon and Bunch Atkins.
 The negroes were very wary in their thieving. and it was very difficult to catch them. Their plan was to go to a door onlv when it was left open and if any one ss w them to pretend to have mistaken the address; if not, they helped themselves to whatever they fancied in the hall.
