MAGON|STAs ARE
CLOSE To JUAREz
But Rurales Sent Out by
Blanco Fail to Locate
Them.

Several reports have been received
by Gen. Blanco and Col. Medina in
Juarez that a large band of the Ma
gonistas is east Of the city, near
Guadalupe. and Sunday night SO ru-
rales were sent by Gen. Blanco to re-
inforce a company of 25 rurales who
went sentafte the Magonistas Satur-
day night.
Could Not Find Them.
Monday morning. Col J. n. Medina,
jefe politico Of Juarez. received a mes
senger from the forces sent out Sun
day night to the effect that they could
find no trace Of the Magonista band.
The Juarez officials received word
Sunday that a band OF Magontstas, 100
strong, was eight miles east of the city,
but scouts who were sent out, could not
find any trace of them and reported to
the JuareZ officials that none of the
Liberals were to be round. Monday
morning the Juarez authorities we're
kept in constant communication with
the rurales in the field, but up to a late
hour, have been unable to reach the
supposed Liberal army.
Believed to Be East.
IHdl the Liberals dIO east VI udIc1
and in large numbers is gwen good
deal of credence, even though the
rurales report to the contrary. for dur
ing the last week they have been gath
ering in large numbers near Guadalupe,
and it is supposed that the band now
numbers at least 100 members. Farm
ers near Guadalupe, and east of that
town, report depredations which have
been committed by the Liberal band
Many of the Juarez people think that
Juarez is the objective point OF the Lib
erals, who are now concentrating their
forces east of Juarez. Several reports
which are unfounded, say that the
forces of the Liberals are also scattered
AROUND Juarez in other directions.
Stops Arms at Border.
The government, 1t is believed, has
become acquainted with the proposed
movement of the insurrecto forces and
Saturday afternoon telegraphed Alone
Aspe, collector Of customs in Juarez,
not to allow any arms or ammunition
to be passed through the Juarez port
into Mexico. The order is made gen.
eral over the border. This is thought
to be only a precaution against the Ma
gonistas to supply their soldiers with
arms and ammunition.

JUAREZ POLICE
AND RURA[ES
CLASH
Two Rurales Are Killed and
Street Commissioner Is
Wounded.
CELEBRATION CAUSE
OF FIRST OUTBREAK

Darflio Hernandez an insurrecto.
started a gun battle between the ru-
rales of Ciudad Juarez and the police
Of the same city, Sunday afternoon,
which resulted in the death of two men
-Darilio Hernandez and PABLO Lomeli,
the latter lieutenant of rurales, and
the wounding OF Dolores Martinez,
street commissioner in the city.
The trouble started about o'clock
in the afternoon when shooting was
heard in the direction of the Quartet
In the western part of the city. Herman
DEE had become abusive with several
other rurales who had been drinking
heavily during the day and TO enforce
his argument began shooting his gun
in the air. The police heard OF the
trouble and Immediately police SER
geant A. Rojas, and a mounted man
were sent to the scene of the trouble
in buggy. When they arrived in view
OF the Quartet on the top of the build
ing, there were about a dozen rurales
firing into the street and they opened
fire on the two policemen, neither of
whom was injured
Street Commissioner Shot
Hernandez, who began the trouble in
front of the home Of street commits
sioner Martinez, took up the argument
with him when he tried to pacify him,
and shot at him Martinez took refuge
in his home and opened fire from one
of the windows. In a few minutes Her
nandez was lying on the street with a
bullet hole through his temple The
shooting then became more spirited and
more policemen were sent in the direc-
ton of the Quartet, armed with rifles.
For several minutes sharp firing came
from both the rurales and the police,
and when the battle was over Martinez
had a bullet wound in his arm and lieu
tenant Lomeli was seriously wounded
with e bullet hole through his stomach,
one in his arm, and another in his neck.
Taken TO Hospital
Lome1i and Martinez were taken to
the fnsurrecto hospital where Lomeli
died at II o'clock Monday morning.
Most of the large Sunday crowd OF
Ell pasoans who were IN Juarez dur
ing the afternoon, did not hear Of the
shooting, and the few that did immedi-
ately came to the American side fear
ing further trouble.
BIanco Investigates.
After the battle was over the city of
ficials and Gen. Blanco, commander of
rurales, went TO the Quartet and began
an Investigation of the trouble. None
Of the men were arrested but in the
future there will be more care taken IN
regard to allowing the men to carry
their guns with them, especially when
they are on the streets.
The fight of Sunday afternoon will, |
it is said, cause a bitter feeling be- |
tween the rurales and the police which
might break out at any time The |
rurales have caused the police a great
deal Of trouble since they have been in
the city, and have resisted attempts of |
the police to arrest any of their num- |
ber. The officials of the city are trying |
to put a stop to this enmity betw cen |
the forces of the city and hope that |
there will be no more trouble

EXPERIMENT FARM
IN Ell PASO COUNTY
The County Commissioners
Want Some One to Do

The establishing and operation of a
county experiment farm is being talked
of by the county commissioners, who
state they are ready to take up the mat

donate the land with living house and
barn on 1t.
The experiment is being tried in Har-
rison county, with view of showing the
eastern states what can be produced on

that such a farm would be a good thing
for the building up OF FL Paso county.

Broomfieid Buds.

The congregation at church
Sunday had the pleasure Of list
ening to a duet sung by the
Misses Grace and Alice Cochran.
Owing to the rainy weather
and the absence from home of'a
number of Broomfield people,
there was a small congregation
at church Sunday which was to
be regretted, as the pastor
preached an interesting sermon
appropriate to the nearness of
Independence Day, giving the
thought of the greatness of our
country, it's perils and its hope.
The rain Monday afternoon
was almost cloudburst at
Broomfield. The rain came
down in a binding sheet caus-
ing bitches to break, and flood
ing the main street of the town.
No serious damage has been re-
ported at this writing.
This community was somewhat
surprised to learn of the we'd
ding Of one of Broomfeld's well
known and much respected citi-
zens. Last Wednesday Mrs.
Mary Wright quietly slipped
away to Colorado Springs and
was married to Mr.. Baker. No
doubt there are one or more who
admired the lady for some time
and feel very keenly the disap-
pointment by not being the IA
vored one. To those we extend
our sympathy and advise to go

HEALTH OP THE ARMY.

The general health OF the army was
fairly satisfactory during the year.
There was a somewhat alarming In
crease OF venereal diseases. and the ad-
mission and death rate for tuberculosis
were high-higher in fact, than In any
armies. except those Of the Spanish.
French and Dutch, says the New York
Globe. In this connection better ven
tlation Of barracks is urged. Over
crowded guardhouses are still common
and that sanitary abomination,' the
overhead or doubledecked, bunk, Is
still In use at Forts Totten and Adams.
Twenty-three thousand five hundred
and twenty recruits were medically ex-
amined. and 142.G9 per 1000 rejected
as unfit for service. When It comes to
the tropical stations, remarkably good
records and conditions are reported.
There was not single case Of cholera
among white American troops IN the
Philippines, and but seven of the ma.
tive soldiers died of the disease, al.
though the nonmilitary natives were
badly stricken. This remarkable result
was achieved by the use OF sterillzed
water and abstentlon from uncooked
native vegetables. There was a gen.
eral decrease Of malarial infection.
The Alaska station was. as heretofore.
the most healthful. The surgeon gem
eral makes strong plea for compul-
sorry antityphoid vaccination, which he
considers safe and unQuestionably val
liable.
