head with a blanket and ran to the
stairs to call her, when he STUN

dragged the unfortunate woman out
of the building, and extinguished the
flaming garments.

to the ground few moments later.

Mexican Federals Rout the
RevolutioniStS.
CHECK 0ROzCO'S ADVANCE

to Flight by the Enemy and Their
Commander Suicide, Reform Their
Broken Ranks and Successfully Re-
new the Attack.

vance of General Orozco toward Tore

according to advices received at the
war department here.
1t was stated that late advices from

routed, and with their commander,
General Jose Gonzales Salaz, q suicide,
the federal troops reformed their bro
ken ranks, threw themselves upon the
rebels with redoubled fury and ad.
ministered q crushing defeat to the
OTozco command.
Citizens here, as report after report
brought news of rebel successes, grew
more and more alarmed.
After an all day fight Salaz was de-
feated and while retreating toward
Torreon shot himself through the
head.

criticised by the press and was gen.
orally unpopular. He took the field in

chagrin at being defeated in the first
important engagement is believed to
have led to his suicide.

While the rebels were celebrating
their victory over Salaz, however, the
federal forces under General Trucy
Aubert took up position in their rear
and General Tellez came up on their
flank. 1t had been planned to wait
for the arrival of reinforcements under
General Victorian Huerta, who was ap-
pointed successor to Salaz, but when
news of tho suicide of General Salaz
reached the troops they were wild to
renew the battle.
It was also noted that the rebels
were disorganized in celebrating their
victory and an attack was made with
out giving them a chance to reform
their lines.

rebel command was cut to pieces and
routed.

rebels lost 100 killed and the federals
400 in the battle, which resulted in
the federal defeat.

it is declared, as result Of the defeat
Of Orozco, as the rebels were caught
in terrific crossflre.

ment and Major Martinez, chief Of
stan, was killed.

IS ACTIVE
NEW MEMBERS ADDED WITH
SEVERAL CITY PROJECTS
FOR NEAR FUTURE

The committee in charge of the
embership for the re-organized.
Commercial Club have been working
and they report meeting with the
best spirit for boosting jamestown
that has been shown in the city for
years. They say:
Every business man had good
word of encouragement for the Com
mercial club and they especially COM
mended the new club for the good
things already started for James
town and express themselves as firm
believers in the possibility of having
a Commercial Club second to none
in the state.
The secretary has issued One Hun
dred Two 1912 cards to date and
if the membership committee has
missed you on their visit We want
you to feel that you are invited to
join with us. If you believe in
boosting the best interests Of James
town and will put your shoulder to
the wheel when necessary We es-
pecially want you with us and hope
you will leave your name with the
president or secretary of the Club
as early as possible.
The plan at present is to furnish
a permanent office and meeting place
at the City Hall where the Club will
fit up the northeast front room In a
manner that will make it pleas
ant and convenient meeting place
and headquarters at all times. For
and large attendance (Which we are
going to have) we have the City
Hall adjoining the club room which
| is one of the best halls for large
gatherings in the city.
Among the projects in view for
the improvement of the city for the
near future are:-
The White Way, lighting Of the
city which will make our streets
| among the finest in the state,
The new Bailey Fuller Park as
Etaken up by the B. w. Fuller Estate
and the Methodist Camp meeting or
ganization. This will complete one
| of the prettiest and largest park sys-
TENS in the west
We are working for and hope to
get good cold storage plant for
the especial benefit of our farming
interests as we'll as convenience Of
our city trade.
The new Armory is being complet-
ed and will soon be ready for oc-
cupancy by Co. H and will be avail
able for the many conventions to
meet in our city. We have several
conventions already stated to meet
here this year and in 1913 and 1914
and have every reason to expect to
get more of them as Jamestown is
acknowledged the best located and
has transportation facilities that
make it the easiest point in the state

Railroad Denies
 Ties Were Rotten
 At Wreck Scene
Directors of Road Issue State ment Bearing Upon Testimony
 of Former Railroad Emp eye

New Haven, Oct 24-The following statement was given out last night by the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad in denial of the all legations which have been made that rotten ties in the tracks were respon- sfble for the wreck at WeStport on Oct. 3, when seven people were killed:
 ''The track was inspected by the in spector of safety appliances of the in terstate commerce commission and by the engineer of the public utilities commission of the state of Connecti- cut immediately after the wreck and pronounced in good condition
 '@The renewal Of ties for the sea son was in progress and had nearly been completed and but few ties mark ed for replacement remained in the tracks at the time of the wreck, and none of these was in the crosS-over traversed by the wrecked train This is the normal condition obtaining on the best maintained railroads in the United States and the existence of such ties in the track did not and could not affect the safety of opera ton.
 ."The ties in question were from 500 to 800 feet west of the wreck and were not involved nor in any way related to it. The fact that the tracks in the vicinity of the crossover and the crossover itself has been used con tinuousIy since the accident without any changes being made in it shows the good condition of the tracks and speaks for itSelf.''
