CRAWFORD JURY IS UNABLE ID AGREE
Result Not Unexpected by Prosecution or the
 Defense

New Orleans, March 2e.-The case of Annie Crawford. charged with poisoning her sister, Elise Crawford, resulted in a mistrial.
 The jurors after being out since last night reported to Judge Chretien of the criminal court that they were unable to agree on verdict. They were discharged
 The jury stood 9 to for acquittal, the minority holding out for verdict of mur- der with capital punishment.
 The result was not unexpected by the prosecuting attorney or counsel for the defense. Miss Crawford probably will be released on bail this week, and 1t Is doubt fu if an effort will be made to bring her to trial for the alleged crime a second time.

Battle at JimipeZ

Mexico City, March 26.--A battle was Tn progress at Jiminez tonight between the commands of Gen. Trucy Auburt and ,f"Pancho' Villa and Orozco's nsurree;os, according to late information received at the department of the interior.
 Villa, who fled with ex-Minister Abra- ham Gonzales of the interior department to Ciudad Guerrero west of Chihuahua, With few loyal men when Orozco entered the state capital is said to have recruited some men with whom he proceeded over land to join the advance of the federals.
 Department officials had no details as to the progress Of the battle, but assumed that the fcderals are in good position to withstand an assault if not to press the fighting.
 , Tellez Retires
 The detachment of General Tellez has retired to Torreon Rumors were current during the day that a general retreat southward from Torreon was in progress. This was denied. Word was also received by the minister of finance that a large quantity of arms and war munitions con- signed to Orozco had been seized by United States authorities at Fl Paso.
 A deep feeling of gloom pervaded the apital today The families of officers en- gagged in the campaign besieged federal offices and newspaper establishments In search of news.
 To Mrs, NIadero, wife of the president, fell the task of confirming to the widow of Gen. Gonzales Salaz the news of his suicide.
 Official Report of Defeat
 An official report of the federal defeat on Sunday, near Corralitos, gave the fed eral losses as 225 in dead and wounded. More than 100 were killed Gonzalez S fatal error, in the opinion of the war min ister, was in advancing his three divis- ions with no means of communicating one with another. General Trucy Auburt and General Telez knew nothing of the fate of Salaz's detachment until his rout had been accomplished.
 The federals were able to save their artillery.
 According to report only short time had elapsed after the defeat Of the Salaz detachment when the column of Gen Trucv Auburt arrived on the scene of bat tie and succeeded in a short time in re- yersing the positions of the forces. Then the demoralzation of the revolutionaries began and was completed by the arrlv1 of General Tellez. The rebels left pe -e than 1900 dead and wounded on the f sl;.

MAN EATER CAUGHT IN BAY
San Francisco Fishermen Forced to
Battle for Their Lives
With Shark.

After fighting desperately for "
hours with a full-grown man-eating
shark, which had become enmeshed In
their fishing nets Off Angel island, five
Italian fishermen finally conquered the
unusual catch. The shark measured
IL feet over all and weighed 800
pounds.
Although the common mud shark Ia
often hooked on fishing lines and
caught in nets by fishermen in he
bay, the capture Of a grown man eater
inside the heads Is unusual.
Two nets were torn almost to shreds
by the shark, and In order to secure
the giant and bring him near enough
to attack with clubs, the fishermen
sacrificed a third net.
I'VE were afraid that IL we let him
go he would sweep our smack to
pieces with his TAIL" said Salvatore
Balisterri. This would have left us at
his mercy, and, as we could see that
he was lferocious and out for blood.
we could take no chances. Their Is
doubt that had w been overturned
the shark would have injured US and
might have killed one of U.s."
The captors Of the shark declared
that the battle, which ragged without
cessation until the catch was uncon-
s%cious, was terrific.
1T looked bad several times for
u.s. said one of them. 1.-The first we
knew Of the sharks presence was
when one Of the nets was almost
swept away. Then we started out to
get him. He had chances to get away,
but seemed to want to wreck our boat,
and 1t was lucky that w succeeded In
killing him"
The big shark is the largest ever
captured In the bay, the oldest fisher
men say. The owners of the fish
found a ready market for 1t through a
Chinese grocery merchant. The flesh
Of the shark Is highly esteemed as a
delicacy by Chinese, the meat being
smoked and dried.-San Francisco
Call.
