RURAL POLICE
MEMS SALARIES IN QUESTION.
County Officials Refuse TO PAY. oIiId-
ing Blcasc's Naming Of Policemen
Not OF Force.

Greenwood, April I'D. ii. Magin
has instituted mandamus proceedings
aglnst the foreman Of the grand iurv
of Greenwood county and the county
BOARD OF commissioners to compel the
payment of the first months salaries
due to three rural policeman ap-
pointed by Gov. Blease. The coun-
ty, through its attorney, e. S. f.
les, claims that the appointments
not being legal, the claims can not be
allowed, even if they were presented
with the Endorsement of the fore
man OF the grand jury, the act re-
curing all claims for salary to be
approved by the foreman of the
grand jury before the supervisor of
the county can issue a pay warrant.
In this case the foreman of the grand
jury has refused to indorse the claim
for salary, and on this account he is
made a party to the proceedings. MIR.
Maglll has an order from Judge Watts
in the proceedings returnable next
Monday morning at 10 O'Clock or as
soon thereafter as counsel can be
heard. The appointments were made
by Gov. Blease on the recommend
alton of Mr.. Magill who is seeking
the writ of mandamus, a member of
the delegation. The act providing
Tor the appointment says the ap-
polntments shall be made upon rec
ommendation of the degelation and az
the other members Of the delegation
did not join in the recommendation
the county, through it's attorneys,
claims it will be illegal to make the
payments.

TROOPS INVADE MEXICO,
UNITED STATES FORCES CROSS
BORDER AND STOP FIGHT.
Action Taken to- Protect Lives of
Citizens OF Douglas, Arizona, Scv-
eral of Whom Had Been Killed by
NOilcys From Rifles OF Fighting
McXicans Across the Line i'm Aqua
Pricta, Mexico.

Aqua Prieta, Mexico, April 1S (via
Douglas. Ariz. z.)-During battle
which lasted all afternoon and re-
suited in the capture of this city by
the rebels, commanded by Red"
Lopez American troops cross :. the
border and stopped the fighting. The
action was taken after three men
had been killed and several wounded
in Douglas. and the continued firing
was endangering the lives Of Ameri-
cans on United States soil. Douglas
was under constant fire for three
hours.
Aqua Prieta surrendered to the
rebels after one of the most spectacu-
lar battles of the Mexican insurrec-
tion. There are many dead and
wounded, including one American
dead. E. w. Crow, who was struck
by stray bullet in Douglas. Two
others were killed and many were
wounded in Douglas.
This is the first time during the in
surrection that any person has been
killed on the American side as the
result Of the border fighting. The
dead and wounded of both the rebels
and federals are being taken to
Douglas.
Thirty federal soldiers fled 10 the
American side an hour before the bat
tie ended, and were disarmed by the
American troous. The rebels shot
down many federals as they ran.
Wounded federal prisoners were
escorted from Auga Prieta to the bor-
der, where they were released as fu-
gitives on American soil.
Lopez's band numbered not more
than $50, while the federal defend
ers numbered 65. 1t was stated to-
night the rebels will try to hold Aqua
Prieta in hope Of winning recogni-
tion as belligerents by the United
States.
Aqua Prieta is the terminal of the
Nacozari railroad into Sonora and is
the most important point on the bor-
der between FL Paso and the Pacific
ocean.
Following are the American dead
and injured:

Animal Life on Venus.

"There are many physical reasons
Tor thinking that IL any other planet
besides the earth Is inhabited 1t is
probably Venus" says Professor Pick
erirg. "It Is about the same size as
the earth. and its density Is about the
same. The force Of gravity upon its
surface Is only slightly less than that
on the earth. The temperature on
Venus Is probably the same as In our
own tropics. and the dense atmos-
phere may be Of a composition such
as cnvelorod thc earth when IN the
carboniferous period. As 10 the OK.
istence of intelligent life, the question
Is stu open. II it is ever established
that the planet Venus is inhabited it
VIII be less surprising than If the same
were proved conclusively Of any other
planet, owing to the similarity In
many respects Of Venus and the
earth"

Greenville, April 12.-Gov. Cole L.
Blease, who is here attending the State
council Of the Redmen, made the fol-
lowing statement this afternoon: 81
Will show the people that A COUNTY
officer like Goodwin can't tell the gov
ernor Of this State to go to hell. I
expect to pursue the regular course
IN presenting papers for that collec-
ton OF the salary Of Detective Head,
and II the county of Greenville refuses
to pay the money l will secure the SER
vices OF lawyer and take the case
to the State courts If that fails, l
Will take 1T to the supreme court"
The statement was made in connec-
tin with Supervisor Goodwin's re-
fusal to pay the salary of Officer Head,
dispensary constable, officially ap-
pointed by the govern. For the roa
son that the county delegation failed
to make provision for the saial.v of
this Office, 'he county has no funds TO
amply to thts purpsc. The local view
's that the S.ernor mas misunder-
stood the situation.
Supervisor Goodwin today said he
has always treated the governor with
the utmost respect, especially in the
matter under discussion.
