FEDERAL FORCES WIPED OUT
Fifty-six Government Troops Killed al
Saltillo,

Laredo, Tex. May 11-Reliable in.
formation that fifty-six federals were
killed at Saltillo in a fight with insur
rectos was brought here by railway
conductor who was an eyewitness of
the battle. The federals were drawn
into trap.
The slaughter occurred at a cotton
mill in the eastern part of Saltillo,
where a company of sixty federals
had sought shelter during rebel at
tack. The insurrectos kept up an in.
cessant fire on the mill from all sides
from $3.50 O'Clock in the morning un.
til 3 in the afternoon. They then
made a feint of retreating and the
federals rushed after them to attack
their rear 1t was only a decoy which
retreated, for as the federals stepped
clear of the mill they were sud ienly
fianked by the rebels, who shot them
down at will. Only four of the fed
erals were seen TO escape.
Reports from Conception del Orc
tend to confirm dispatches that insur
rectos had completely annihilated q
force of federals at that place. Esti
mates of fifty to sixty dead or despe-
rately wounded were made by incom-
ing railway passengers.

The High Cost of living Reduced

Much has been said about the high cost of living

little has been said about its most costly leak: the
false economy existing today in nearly every house

Much foodstuffs are bought with but one point in
view: How cheap can get t?' without thought

baking powder.
By the use of perfect baking powder the housewife
can derive much economy as from any other
article used in baking and cooking. In selecting the
baking powder therefore, should be exercised to
purchase one that retains its original strength and
always remains the same, thus making the food
sweet and wholesome and producing sufficient leav-
ening gas to make the baking light
Very little Of this eavening gas is produced by the
cheap baking powders, making it necessary to use
double the quantity ordinarily required to secure
good results
You cannot experiment every time you make
cake or biscuits test the strength of your baking
powder to find out how much of it you should use;
yet with most baking powders you should do this

Hayward, Wis, May l1.-John
Deit2' privilege to wander as he likes
in his examination of witnesses has
been taken from him Although the
prosecution shrugged its six shoulders
at the pro-Deitz testimony given by
Captain Robert Kane of Milwaukee
the expert gun man, it met Deitz later
bristling with legal points and pinned
him down to strict court procedure.
The new and intangible resistance
angered "the old man" to such an
extent that for the first time since the
trial began he included Judge Alex
ander H. Reid, sitting in the case in
his general suspicion
A remark of Judge Reid that the
defense was progressing very slowly
brought another remark, this time
after adjournment, from the man OF
the Thornapple.
1--WE are not getting straight
shake" he said The state had a
week, why shouldn't we if we want it
The prosecution is taking more time
cross-examining our witnesses than
we are in our direct questions"
Attacks States Testimony.
Deitz spent much of the morning
trying to impeach the testimony oi
the state He brought out one point
in which a deputy who was with Os
car Harp when he died said the bullet
that killed him could have come from
no place but the barn, but later re
versed his statement. The impeach
ment effort will be continued witt
testimony from two civil engineers
Harry Orig of Chicago and Henry
Mitchell of Rice Lake.
Deitz says they have prepared a
map of the Deit2 farm differing in i'm
portant respects from the plats intro
duced by the state and showing that
the point where Harp sank to the
ground could be seen by number oi
deputies to whom the states witnesse:
have said it was invisible.
Captain Kane was recalled to the
stand and asked by John Deitz If dust
on the barn roof, when the roof was
struck by bullets, would not have
given the appearance of puffs oi
smoke, like rifle discharges. The gun
expert said he thought dust would
have such a tendency
In the course of wrangle over the
admission of the testimony of char
acter witnesses Judge Reid informed
Deitz he would have to confine him
self for such testimony to men from
Winter and the vicinity of Cameron
dam.

a telling effect and it is feared there

General Navarro surrenders.
General Madero has started for the

Throw Dynamite Bombs.
The rebels are throwing dynamite
bombs and both sides are using ma
chine guns. 1t has been largely street
fighting, each side taking advantage
of such protection as buildings and
streets had to offer.
Navarro said he would fight to the
death, but the latest reports said his
succor was 200 miles away and could
not arrive for week.
Wounded men are being brought in
to Ell Paso and refugees are pouring

Hans Larsen has returned from

the past six months. He returns a

who were working were earning only

down 50 as to employ more men. The
usual rate Of wages for a full days
work is $2.25, less than the average
paid in the copper country.

country looks good enough to him. and
that those who prefer to stay in the
west may do so. He believes there

MACHiNISTS PLAN OUTING.
Annual Picnic Will be Held at White
City in August.

Preliminary arrangements for the
annual picnic of the Calumet and Hec-
la machinists were made at a meeting
held last evening. A committee of ar
rangements, consisting of Fred G.. Dan
ielson, Hector Morrison and John Ire
verrow was named and other commit
tees will be selected later. This years
outing will be an excursion to the
White City and the steamer Interna-
tlonal has been chartered for the trip.
If proper arrangements can he made,
the boat will start from Lake Linden,
special cars being chartered from Calu-
met. The date of the outing has not
been definitely set, but will be early in
August, possibly on August 10.
1t will be necessary to limit the ex-
cursion to 800 people this being the ca
pacity of the boat, and tickets will be
sold in advance. 1t is possible that ar
rangements will be made so that all
who take i'm the trip must be sup
piled with tickets before boarding the
street car. The success of the pre-
vious machinists' picnics and the large
crowd that invariably attends, makes
it certain that 800 tickets will be easily
disposed of.
An orchestra will be engaged to fur
nish music for dancing, and a pro-
gram of sports including baseball
game between the Bachelors and Ben
cdicts and sports for the ladies will be
features Other details will he ar
ranged as soon as possible.
