San Diego, Cal, May 17.-That the
rebel band will be broken up at Tia
Juana before it has a chance to at
tack Ensenada is the hope of Mexi-
can federal sympathizers, who ar
rived here by the steamer San Diego
today. Nothing of an official nature
could be learned as the contemplated
attack upon the rebels Is intended
as a surprise. The object is to save
Ensenada from being fired and de
stroyed by battle there.
Colonel Majol with $50 men of
the regiment he took to MeXicali, is
on the west side of the Picachos Pass
but he is not reported from Las Jun
tas, near Campo, where the first tel
ephone station can be reached. The
passengers of the San Diego said the
Mexicans would mass from three di-
rections for the attack, the regiment
coming from Las Juntas, nearly all
the defenders of Ensenada coming
from there, and a great crowd of
Mexicans coming over from the Amer
lean side
The Mexicans got together at a
Dlk llCCIlu6 at NCl llUi iosl
night, and made some patriotic
speeches as an excuse for the meet
ing, but there were a number OF
meetings on the street after the mass
meeting was over, at which the real
purpose of the gathering was dis
closed.
I The Mexicans talk of making q
surprise attack upon the rebels. The
insurrectos, on their part, are now
safely ensconsed behind numerous
trenches strategically placed, and
with three machine guns.
! Sixty five more refugees arrived by
the steamer from Ensenada today
the vessel being so crowded tha
many of the passengers were obliged
to make their beds on the little hur
ricane deck.
The large steamer Benito Juarei

Miss Keaton when she made the
resolution was just child but In the
years that have elapsed, she BIOS
somed into womanhood and she is
now occupying a position in the Pat
ton Bros. book store. Through her
father she learned the story OF the
homesteader--how he had taken up a
claim on the range, and how the cat
tie men in trying to rid the ranges of
settlers had made war upon him until
he had resisted them by shooting one
of them down. His fight for home
left it's impress upon her heart and
when the father led the homesteader
away, she promised him that some
day she would secure his pardon and
during the intervening years she
never forget that promise. Several
years ago she began the circulation
of petitions and besides securing the
names of hundreds Of people in Nor
row county, she secured the names OF
the Jurors who convicted the home-
steader, and armed with these she
presented her cause to Governor
West.
Governor Grants Pardon.
Now 1t happens that when Cover
nor West was running for the office
he now occupies that Miss KeatoI
was one of his ardent admirers and
supporters and upon one occasion in
timated that she might ask him ia

jestingly replied that he would gran

band for her. When she presented
her petitions the other day asking fol
the pardon of the homesteader, she
reminded him of his pre-electior
promise and the governor upon inves
tigating the case and finding that tn
homesteader had been a model pris
oner, issued the pardon.

4 TRIP OBERiNMERGAN

It is seldom that tie people of
any community ever have such a
opportunity as was offered last night
to the people of EIkn to listen to
a lecture on the Passion Play"by
one who actually saw the play as it
was givcnby the simple reverent
people of that little country village.
1t was EVIDENT that the people of
EIko appreciated this opportunity
from the fact that the church was
well filled Notwithstanding other
attractions.
Those whose prive lcge il was TO
listen to the lecture and behold
the eXqusitely colored views from
the photographs of the actual play
seemed to be transported to that
little Blvarian village of Southern
Germany nesting in the foot hills
of the Tyrol Alps and we in
realistic fancy saw and heard those
German peasants render again the
immortal story of the Cross. So
vivid were the word pictures of the
lecture that we forgot for the time
our Surroundings and were seated
with him in the great auditorium
at ObCrammcrgau. witnessing the
thrilling events and the tragic
ending of the earthly life of the Son
of God. Many were moved to tears
and all we're made to appreciate
more than ever before the price that
was paid for mans redemption.
1t has been our privilege to listen
to several emf nent lecturers as
they told the story Of the Passion
Play" We have seen the views from
American made slides and both
Edison and | abins' moving pic ures
representatives of the play and all
we're good. This, however, by
far surpasses them all. The
picturesque language Of the
lecturer, the fact of his having
been an eye witness If the scenes

slides made from the original
negatives all contributed TO the
interest of the lecture.
