There was man in town Satur
day last with a load of hay and he
said he had just sold COW for half
price as he only got $1,000 for her,
he said many time his wife
MIXED the COW and got tub full
of milk and said after his wife would
let the milk stand over night and

Mexicans in Washington Fire
Documentary ET1adside.
SAY MhDERO is IMPRACTICAL
Claim Also that Present President
Has Violated Free Ballot, Appoint
ed Relatives to Office and Al
most Eankr@rted Nation.

New York, April S. = The real
trouble IN Mexico and the reasons for
the present revolt are set forth in de-
tail in a statement made pubic by
the three Mexicans who are up here
u tell the people OF the United States
all about it.
1t was signed by Manuel L. Human,
minister plenipotentiary from General
Orozco. the revolutionary leader He
said it was given out on the authority
of the general himself.
"The present revolution Is merely a
continuance of the one which began
when the rule of Diaz became unbear-
able.
AT that time President Madero
seized the opportunity to take upon
himself the entire benefit from the up
rising. 1t is not true that he was
called by the people He was accept
ed as the lead of the movement be
cause no one else came forward. Less
than a month after Madero assumed
leadership it was found that he was
not only visionary and impractical.
but lacked the fundamental qualities
Of leadership and In addition was
working for his own selfish purposes.
But what could they do, To have
repudiated him would have been fatal
to the cause. AS your Lincoln said
we could not swap horses while cross
ing the stream
Had not President Madero in op-
position to the plans of the revolution
airy party compelled congress by
threats of force to call for an election
earlier than was originally planned
he would never have been elected
president
From the first he violated his prom
ises and the principles for which he
and the revolutionists had been fight
ing. By what was almost his frs;
official act he violated the very thing
which we thought We had won. the
sanctity of the free ballot. BY
threats and violence he forced into
Office men unknown to Mexico and
who were mere tools in his hands
Members of his family received posi-
tons. The present head of the gov
eminent party is Gustave Madero, the
presidents brother. the minister o.
finance is his uncle, the head Of the
department of mines and agriculture
is his first cousin.
when Diaz left Office there was
s32. 00O, 900 in the treasury, all Of which
has been wasted by MaderO. Gustav(
Madero got 100000 for alleged ex
penses in the campaign without max
| ing an accounting And now $4,000,
| 900 is about TO be paid for land which
Is not worth half that amount.
"Madero has achieved all but thu
complete ruin of Mexico"
The rest of the statement deals will

INWOOD JUNK DEALER
FOUND DEAD IN BED
JOHN TAG LIVING NEAR IN
WOOD FOUND DEAD SATUR-
DAY, LIVED ALONE AND
BOUGHT AND SOLD IRON
AND RAGS.

Noah Goodyear was the last per-
son who saw the man alive, or that
is known to have talked to him.
He complained of not feeling well,
and asked Mr.. Goodyear to come and
see him. He had often complained
of being sick, but as Mr.. Goodyear
was busy, and the school entertain
ment was coming off, and he was in
terested there, he did not think
much about Mr.. Tag, intending to
see him later.
Not seeing him about in the morn
ing, he went to the house, and saw
him in bed apparently asleep. Later
on when he did not get up and stir
about the house and attend to his
horse, neighbors forced the door open
and found him dead.
He was a man of about fifty
years of age, and lived alone, gather
ing up old iron and selling it. He
kept an old horse and went about
by himself. He was sociable with
people, but was thought to be queer
by many people who knew him. He
had the appearance of being poor
but it is said that he told on one
occasion Of having several hundred
dollars he could lay his hand on any
time, and that he did not have to
work unless he chose to do so
Others say that not long since he
exhibited a large roll of bills. How.
ever, little is known of this, and the
coroner will have charge Of the af.
fair until it is known if he had any
thing aside from his horse and
buggy and household belongings.

Mishawaka to buy a motor fire truck
They went for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the efficiency of such a
piece of apparatus. with the view Of
being informed as to its practi-
cability, should it be deemed advis-
able at some time TO change our
old volunteer fire department into
an up-to-date service that modern
needs demand. The committee is
convinced that the motor truck they
saw will do the business. They al
