MEXICAN REBELS
DEFEATED AND
IN RETREAT
Gen. 0rOzco's Army Stopped In
Its Advance
LOSS SAID TO BE 500
Forces Engaged Were 5000 on Each
Side and Battle Was Hardest
of the War

Mexico City, May 13.-Twelve
hours of brisk fighting on the desert
plains near Conejos, Mex, 300 miles
south of the American border, be-
tween a force of 5000 rebels under
Gen. Orozco and an equally strong
body of federals under Gen. Huerta,
resulted yesterday in a decided adj
vantage to the government. The
fighting began at daybreak, and at
nightfall the sandy mesas between
Comejos and Yermo, Ia miles north,
to which the insurrectos were gradu-
ally forced back, were covered with
dead and wounded. Nearly 500 are
believed to have been killed and
wounded on both sides. A courier
reported that Gen. Trucy ALBERT the
dashing federal commander, was shot
in the leg The rebels abandoned 10
cannon and much ammunition in
their retreat.
Gen. Joaquin Teller, who had been
stationed in the rear of Huerta's van
guard, was sent around to the east
ward at noon to flank the rebels and
cut off their treatment. Last night
federal headquarters claimed the reb-
els are completely surrounded and
that the second day of fighting will
prove equally decisive. The town,
only Saturday occupied by the van
guard of the rebels, was riddled with
bullets when the federals galloped
into it at sunset. Over the foothills
to the north the insurrectos could be
seen retreating.

BEAT BURR AND BURTON
Seminary Boys No Match for Ben.
nlngton High School Team

Burr and Burton seminary was de.
feated by Bennington high school at
the old athletic field Saturday after
noon by the one-sided score of 1S to
l. The Manchester boys were un-
able to do anything with SCOTS
twisters while the home team hit
Wilson's pitching to all corners of
the lot. 1t is due to Wilson, how
ever, to state that he has been oblig.
ed to do all the pitching for the sem
mary team this season and that he
was badly out of form on Saturday.
Bennington not only batted the
ball hard and often but the local
boys fielded exceptionally well. The
Manchester boys scored their only
run through the daring work of Cen
ter Fielder Perkins on the bases. In
the sixth inning, he was enabled to
reach first on an infield error and
proceeded to steal the remaining
three quarters of the distance to the
home plate. Score by innings:

fessed murderer Of Avis Linnell of
Hyannis, subjected Richeson today
to the most exhaustive tests known
Their examination occupied almost
the entire day
1t was doubtless the most critical
day for the prisoner since he receiv-
ed his death sentence early in Janu-
airy. From the time Richeson con-
fessed to the murder of the little
Conservatory of Music pupil, a for
mer sweetheart who stood in the
way of his marriage to the wealthy
Miss Violet Edmands of Brookline,
his counsel have been working to
secure finding that the prisoner
was mentally irresponsible for his
act.
They were gratified when on Fri
day last Gov. Foss, who is ayowedly
ayerse to the death penalty, canned
three prominent alienists to make an
impartial report tor his guidance in
the matter Of submitting Richeson's
petition 10 the council for clemency.
The commission as made up includes
DR.. Henry r. Stedman of Brookline,
chairman of trustees of the Taunton
insane hospital; DR.. James T. Tut
tie, superintendent Of the Mclean
insane hospital and DR.. Henry p.
Frost, superintendent of the state in
sane hospital. They spent two hours
with Richeson at the Charles street
jail on Saturday morning at which
time a preliminary examination was
made.
Today the experts notified Sheriff
Quinn that they would be at the jail
early. AS on Saturday, Richeson
was released from his cell and es-
corted to the big music room of the
sheriff's house in the Jail yard.
Richeson showed no trace OF ner-
yousness as he walked firmly to the
sheriff's house and at the conclusion
OF the long days ordeal he was ap-
parently in as excellent condition.
Sheriff Quinn did not attend the ex-
animation, but posted his guards
outside the room. with one attendant
inside. The work OF examination
continued uninterruptedly from $3.50
until 1890 p. m. At that time Richie
son was taken back to his cell where
he partook heartily of special food
which is daily sent in to him from a
restaurant outside.

me-. King Welsh Dead.

After an illness of several
months duration Mr.. King Welsh,
a prominent young newspaper man
of Lexington, KY, died Saturday
afternoon.
Mr.. Welsh was one of four sons
and two daughters of Mrs. Sallie
King Welsh of 493 West Third
street, and of the late Mr.. B. j.
Welsh, formerly City Auditor of
Lexington. Mr.. Welsh, who was
a nephew of Mr.. j. P. King, of
this city, had often visited here
and was known by many of our
citizens and his death will be heard
with much regret.
We clip the following from the
Lexington Herald, a newspaper
with which Mr.. Welsh was con-
nected for many years:
AS the sunset of a February
afternoon marked anon the sunset
of the young life of our brother
of the craft, it left its afterglow
that need of sorrow that never
fails to come with the passing of a
life so useful and so full of prom
Use; but the end offers the hope
that comes of the abiding faith,
whispering about the night of
death the morn will be brighter
STILL" To her who bore him and
those who lose King Welsh "only
for a little WHILE" we crave the
poor boon of saying, your grief
is ours and the blow smites US as
WE'LL" God be with you and your
brave boy, till somewhere the
broken chain shall be reunited be-
yond the sunlit sea-"
