Ell Paso, Tex, Feb. 20 "A commit
tee said to represent Emilio Vasquez
Gomez arrived here today from San
Antonio and was in conference with
Colonel Ponce and other rebel officers
at Juarez. Although the Mexican
Central rolling stock rushed to Ell Pa
SO yesterday was in the American
yards. the insurrectos continued plans
for an advance south, which they de-
clare. would be made by rail.
Railroad officials were out with a
new version of the reason for with
drawing locomotives from the Juare8
sic. They declared that this move
was made because the engines and
cars needed repairs. They left the
inference that the outfit would be re-
turned to Juarez, but would not say
SO in SO many words. The peculiar
coincidence that the entire troop train
made up yesterday to take the rebel
army to chihuahua should suddenly
be found unfit at the same moment
was left unexplained.
A new manifesto, addressed to Gov
ernor Abran Gonzales of the state Of
Chihuahua and signed by the "Revolu-
tionists of the North made its APP
pearance it called uopn Gonzales OF
of the trembling knees" to resign,
declaring that he. like President Ma
dero, was a traitor to his country.

MAN is KILLED FOR
TWO CIGAR Checks
DELIBERATE MURDER OF A NE
GRO BY A BLAcKsMITR IN
ALBUQUERQUE.

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Feb. pa
quarrel over two cIgar cnecks in a
pool room at the New State pool hall
of Burton & Montgomery, 2OS North
Third street, resulted at S:15 last
night in a most cold blooded and de-
liberate murder, when Sam Lyle,
blacksmith for T. ). Shinick, at 219
West Copper avenue, put bullet from
a Al caliber double action, old fash
ioner Colts revolver through the heart
of Ira Carr also colored. Lyle made
no resistance when placed under ar
rest by Chief of Police McMillin and
Policeman j. G. Martin, a few min
utes after the murder. Pm the man,
he said, nonchalantly. as ne stood
smoking a cigarette. while watching
Carr breathe his last in the pool hall.
|'sHe irsuited me and drew q knife on
me-" said the slayer, land just
went and got my gun and shot him" !"
DR.. Pearce was hurriedly sum-
moned to attend the dying man, but
the bullet, which entered the left
breast, ranged downward through the
heart and Carr expired about ten min
utes after the officers arrived.
From all the, evidence at hand it
appears that Lyle and Carr met in
the pool hall and were having quiet
game, when a dispute arose as to
which lost the cigar checks.
Lyle says that Carr applied several
vile epithets. to him and drew a knife
in menacing manner. Lyle saying
'I'll see about it," or words to that ef-
feet, went out of the hall, entered the
room of James Henry, cclored por-
ter, rooming in the house of Marie
Cochran, at 317 West Copper, picked
up the gun which lay on Henry's
dresser, stepped back inuo the pool
hall and without a word took aim at
Carr and fired. Il was standing at
the cigar case," said ]. M. Burton, one
of the proprietors, last night, "and
Carr was playing pool with Montgom-
cry, when Lyle entered whistling a
tune Without saying a word he
pulled up the gun and fired. Carr
tried to walk around the pool table

and falling on his knees, pulled a
small pocket knife out of his pocket
which he managed to open before he
fell helpless in the arms of Montgom
cry. did not see him draw a knife
when the quarrel took place"
Carr, a man some 80 years of age
and married, his wife being in the
city. came here about six weeks age
from GAINESVILLE, Texas, and was go

pool hall last night Carr had beer

streets. 1t was impossible to locate

TWENTY-FIVE Years Ago.

A $1OO,O tobacco fire occurred at
Stoughton Sunday morning, when the
warehouse occupied by A. Cohn & Co.,
Miller & Putnam and Rosenwald & Bro.
was partially destroyed. There had
been no fire in the building for months
and incendarism was believed to be the
cause. It was considered the safest
building in the state, but the engineer
in charge of the waterworks had ne
elected to fill the tank, permitting the
fire to gain Roadway.
Lightning killed two horses for T. D.
Raymond in Porter that were standing
in the field near wire fence.
C. L. Burnham and wife are receiv-
ing congratulations over the arrival OF

during the month of May than ever be-
fore in this state.

Commencement Week.


The exercises incident to the closing
of the years work in the public schools
of Edgerton are under way this week
and as usual are of consuming interest
to a very large part of this community.
The attendance upon public exercises
so far has been large and in merit the
performances take rank with those of
other years.
The initiatory entertainment was
that presented by the pupils of the
grades in the rendition Of ''The Pixies"
under the direction of Miss Sadie Buck,
teacher of music and drawing, in which
about one hundred children participant
ed. This proved a most clever produc-
ton and gave evidence of a vast amount
of painstaking work in training and
staging the opera to bring out the best
results from the little folks who took
part. Royal hall seldom held larger
audience or one that more thoroughly
enjoyed the performance.
The program of commencement week
began with the Junior banquet for the
Senior class and faculty held at The
Carlton hotel at 8 o'clock Saturday ev-
ening. Following the excellent menu
served by mine host Cutlery, pro-
gram Of musical and literary char
acter was carried out with Clayton

another large audience, the receipts
from which were $167. 85. A very pleas
ing little comedy, Kingdom of Hearts
Content" was presented in manner
that brought out the talent of the
members of the class, producing very
satisfactory entertainment. The High
School orchestra provided the musical
numbers of the evening.
Again on Wednesday evening the
usual class day program was presented
followed by laughable farce entitled
''Not a Man in the House." Here also
