TERRIBLE FIGHT
OF REBEL LEADERS
There Was Butchery and
Much Shooting; Then
Jimmy Hare AWoke

Garibaldi, Pancho Villa, Orozco and
the Maderos had a big mixup late Mon
day night which resulted in the ex-
change Of several shots. At least that
was what Jimmie Hare, the official
Jeff to c. D. Hagerty's Mutt"
dreamed.
Mr. Hare had dinner with Col. Carl
baldf at the Sheldon late Monday
evening. A porterhouse for two was
devoured by the war photographer and
the rebel leader, while they talked Of
things not intended for publication
After the dinner and the, accompany
ing smoke, Garibaldi returned ia
Juarez and Hare retired to his. room
over Peacock alley at the Sheldon.
Some time in the night the fighting
broke out more fierce than it had been
at any time during the battle OF
Juarez. when Hare poked his stubby
little self around through the build
fngs in Juarez and got pictures of real
action. Last night the fight grew
fiercer until his friend, Garibaldi, was
slaughtered Hare heard the shots so
distinctly that he hastily dressed and
hurried downstairs to get the partic-
ulars and the action pictures of the
event.
The night clerk slept peacefully be-
hind the marble counter. The bellhop
on the graveyard watch snoozed on
the bellhops' bench. Hare rubbed his
eyes and beat it back upstairs
Porterhouse is no longer included in
his dinner bill. He, like Madero, has

artillery command and the man who
directed the effective firing of the
shrapnel shells during the battle Of

comrades or was wounded and died
in one of the temporary hospitals

About Walks.

Editor East Mississippi Times:
| notice in the last few issues of
your paper you urge the building
Of concrete sidewalks. And as you
say nothing improves a town more
or enhances the value of property
in town than good permanent
walks.
II many portions Of the city our
plank sidewalks are in bad condi-
ton and unless it is decided to lay
walks it will be necessary
soon to replace these walks with
plank. Experience has proven
that a good concrete walk can be
built for what it cost to keep a
plank walk in good condition for
five years-then why waste money
plank walks. Let prop
erty owlers and the city council
get together on the walk PROPOSE
ton and not stop until every street
in our corporate limits has good
walks. 1t will be worth the cost
to the town as a whole and to the
individual property owner.
