FL Paso, Texas, May "a genera
attack on Juarez began about half
past four o'clock this morning.
The decision to attack the city was
made after the ENJOYS who went to
General Navarro, commanding the
federal, garrison, after midnight, re
turned saying he refused to surrender
For armistice proposals General Ma
varro referred the ENJOYS to Judge
Carabajal, who refused to make an
agreement with part of the revels who
were already in Juarez.
The fighting was begun by a detach-
ment of insurrectos with machine guns
in an adobe house near the Stanton
street bridge Their guns commanded
the main streets of Juarez.
An American soldier who swan the
Rio Grande during the night returned,
reporting that these insurrectos have
enough ammunition for an all-day
fight.
Colonel Villareal is advancing this
morning from the east with 600 men
fresh from the siege of Ojlnaga.
General Madero claims to have post
ed strong force capable of intercept
ing the thousand federals now advanc-
ing from Chihuahua under General
Rabago to the relief of Juarez. Gen
eral Navarro with twelve machine
guns expects to hold the city. Three
of these guns are in action this morn

surrectos are camped
Two Americans, Mrs. Josefa Garcia
and her young son, were wounded in
FL Paso during the first two hours
fighting this morning.
After two or three hours of cannon

fire. The first volley of bullets passed
near the United States immigration
station in FL Paso, but no one was in
jured.
Madero is not in active command
Of the fighting, but is watching from
the field.
The federal machine gun fire slack
ened slightly in the mid-forenoon and
it was reported, but unconfirmed, that
the rebels had silenced some of them.
The prospects are for an allday battle
without any decisive turn.

MADE FORTUNE IN RADIsHES
Long island Man Got in on Ground
Floor and Resped a Rich
Harvest.

What little things make men
rich" said Robert A Shelton, at the
Cochran. Il was on an automobile
ride on Long island the other day, and
out Jamaica way was shown a fine
country residence, with beautiful
grounds and delightful fields.
MY friend told me that what l saw
was all derived from selling radishes
and lettuce to New York produce deal
ers. Nothing else was raised on the
farm winter or summer but radishes
and lettuce OF high quality. and most
of 1t under glass. Abe Van Sicklen
was the farmer who foresaw a good
market for such relishes out of sea
son. and he began in a small way to
supply the big restaurants in New
York. then merchants, with the prod
uct every month in the year.
He could get his own prices in win
ter, and for that matter did not worry
about the outdoor competition in sum-
mer. His regular patrons were glad
to make yearly contracts, and soon
Abe became rich.
Others started in to follow his
methods. but by the time they were
looking for customers old Abe had
gathered in fortune. and he died at
the age of eighty-seven, very well con-
tent with the radish and lettuce road
to fortune. e.'-Washington Post.

The load for each sheep is from 16
pounds to 90 pounds. The sheep are
driven from village to village with the
wool still growing and in each town
the farmer shears as much wool as
ne can sell there and loads the sheep
with the grain he receives in ex-
change. After his flock has been
sheared he turns it homeward, each
sheep having on its back small bag

BEARS AFTER FOREST FIRES
Grizzlies Become Menace to Live
Stock in Mountain Regions Of
Oregon.

One effect OF the forest fires which
swept great areas last year has been
to drive lot Of grizzly bears from
their former feeding grounds and
make them a menace to stock. Many
reports have been received here re
Gently Of the depredations of these
big animals on the east slope OF the
Cascade mountains and preparations
are being made to hunt them down,
says a Portland correspondent Of a
Chicago paper.
The Cascade mountains have never
been known as the haunt OF the griz-
ziies. In the Blue mountains. about
200 miles to the east, however, the ami
mails have been known to be fairly
plentiful. Great areas Of the Blue
mountains and nearby ridees were
burned over in the great force firo5
OF last year, and so this spring the
grizzlies did not find the supplies Of
food to which they had been accus-
toned. II is believed that they then
wandered across the valleys TO the
range nearer the coast. Here they
also found insufficient supplies. and
so they have turned on the stock which
ranges the east slope of the Cascades.
Berry Hickson, an old time woods
man of the upper Mckenzie river. had
a great surprise recently when he set
out on an expedition into the Cascades.
In the middle of one night several
hears brought down one OF his pack
mules and ate it. He had to guard
the others on succeeding nights and
with difficulty got out of the country
with any of them He has also suf-
fered losses in stock and will join with
other hunters in going after this big
game.

The Gross Of Holy Rood.

For many years the miraculous cross
(which was alleged to have saved
King David's life by interposing itself
between him and an infuriated white
stag) was preserved in the abbey. Its
virtue, however, was tested in 1876
at the battle of Dunbar. The test
proved too much for the cross, which
fell into the hands of the enemy, who
paid it the respect of housing it in the
cathedral near the field of battle. 1t is
said that the texture of the Cross OF
Holy Rood was such that mo mortal
artificer could tell whether it was o:
wood, horn or metal."-London Chron.
