CASTRO CAUSES MUCH WORRY
Landing of Exiled President in Vene-
zueIa Gives United States Of
ficials Much Concern.

Washington, July 10.-The landing
of former President Castro in Vene-
zuela is regarded by the government
officials here as a matter which is
pregnant with great trouble for the
navy.
1t appears to be an established prin-
ciple that the United States is bound
to support the government of Gomez.
he having been elevated to the presi-
dency by the naval demonstration
against Castro which made his fight
to obtain the presidency fruitless. In
addition to that, President Gomez en-
tered into an agreement with the
United States for settlement Of
claims which had been repudiated by
Castro and there was a tacit interna-
tional agreement that no nation would
allow Castro a base from which to OPP
crate against Gomez.
1t is stated here that should Castro
surprise Caracas and set up a govern
ment he would be kept there until the
United States shall have found means
to dislodge him. In order to make Cas-
tro's usurpation valueless it is under
stood that the navy will assist the
Gomez government in retaining pos.
session of La Guayra and all the sea
ports of Venezuela which are access
ible to the ships of the navy.

AGED Man Falls From Tree.

Valisca, July 11.-Special: Pride
in his physical strength yesterday
cost the life of James Dalton, aged
81 years, who fell from a cherry tree
a distance of ten feet, receiving in.
juries which soon resulted in death.
Dalton had gone from his home to
that of a neighbor for the purpose of
picking cherries. On account of the
age of the old fellow he was cautioned
against trying to climb into the trees.
The questioning of his ability anger
ed the old man, who replied that he
could climb tree as easily and quick
ly as boy. When opportunity was
granted he went into one of the trees
with the above result. He is an old
pioneer of msthis county, one
of the Oldest settlers in this part of
the state, prominent Mason and a
man well known in state politics.
