To Slaughter Americans

MEXICO CITY Special Declar-
ing that every American in Mexico
will be slaughtered If the troops cross
the border line. Juan Sanchez Azcona
confidential secretary to President
Madero. in an authorized interview
yesterday, gave the already frighten-
ed Americans cause for new anxiety.
ACCOM-, whose statements are regard
ed as having been authorized nv
MaderO, said:
IF the United States inter
veneS, MaderOiSnn, Zapatism and
FaSqutSm Will be forgotten and
there win be common union of
fore es to repel the interIoper.
Every American i'm Mexico will be
slaughtered at the first news that
the American flag has crossed the
border.
1t is reasonable to believe. of
course, that distinctions would he
made in the event OF such a massacre
However. agitators will harangue the
crowds at every corner and indicate
10 the mobs the differences between
Americans and other foreigners But
only Americans would pay the penalty
that outraged Mexican ideals would
deem commensurate with the crime
I would deeply regret the hideous mic

VIII Drop Animosities.
BE the cause of intention what II
may, all disputants will drop their
animosities to join the battle against
the United States. The loss of Juarez
was not serious, as the army will give
battle to the VasQuistas fifty miles this
side of Juarez and save trouble along
the border.
"A strong hand must grasp the pen
dulum swung out after the revolution
and restore order. but the world must
know that this strong hand will only

but one big battle in the north will
end the entire trouble. The Zapatists

Stormy Weather Predicted.

Although the matter in Hicks Word
and Works Magazine 10 copyrighted, we
do not believe he will csnsurs rs for
publishing the following paragraph for
benefit of stockmen in this vicinity.
"The Venus and Mars period overlap
each other 10 all the central part Of Jan.
uary. At the same time Mercury ps-
riod adds its perturbing influence for
ten or twelve days. We advise our
readers and the public generally, TO be
on the watch at this time. Take care,
and not be caught far from shelter, out
in the open, blizzardous northwest. Do
not forget the duty you owe to the dumb
creatures, who may survive or perish,
accordingly as you plan and act for their
protection and care. We hold that it ia
not only bad business management, but
inhuman and criminal to spare any or
reasonable means for the protection oi
helpless live stock against such storms
and weather as are most probable, not
only In January but through February
and into March. It may be put down
as . certainty that stormy, wintery
weather will predominant through Feb.
ruary into March, il such storms and
weather prevail ths last half Of Janu'
ary-all of which We believe are to be
expected. The Mars influence this year
begins early enough to tie winter condi
tions for at least six weeks beyond the
center Of his period, which is Fsbru
ary the 8th."

Being Raiiroaded to Reform School.

On Tuesday when Commissioner Fer.
rell went over to Hot Springs he was
surprised to learn that little Clement
Smythe, son of NJ. W. smythe of this
city, was being held there by tho sher.
if to be taken to the reform school.
Upon investigation he learned that the
parents of the child had been over to
Hot Springs and made charges of incor-
rigibility against the little fellow and he
was being railrosded to tho reform
school. Mr. Ferrell called q halt in
these plans and an effort Is being made
to secure home for the child, 40 it 10
thought that to return him to home
where he had received such treatment
would bs equally as bad a. sending him
to the reform school.
The people of Edgemont were greatly
surprised and greatly sngered whom
they heard of the matter, as they did
not think nor do they believe the action
was at all warranted on the part of the
parents. Inquiry among the school
companions Of the boy elected the fact
that he was we'll behaved in school, and
the stealthy manner in which he was
being sneaked off is matter for very
grave suspicion that the parents were
not acting In good faith.-Edgemont

The proposed law to be discussed will

WONDERFUL BLACK HILLS /!
Scenic Beauty, Soil Fertility, Water
Power, Equable Climate.

| During the recent Eastern tour of th
Western Governors, Governor vesse.
of South Dakota, in one Of his speeches
paid the following compliment TO tn
Black Hills:
I'm the western portion of our Stat,
We have our wonderful Black Hills, tn,
timber, mineral and scenic resources o
which are most worthy of consid deration
1t has been said that the richest on,
hundred miles square in the world ar,
situated in this district, and, be that a
IL may, the extent Of their riches can q,
best be only imagined and that the min
srai resources Of the section have only
been touched is without question. The
report Of the State mine inspector for
the past year shows that the output oi
gold for the period amounts to $685..
500. ranking as third in the column OF
States in this particular industry.
"The Black Hills section of South Da.
kota is indeed wonderland, overflow
ing with romance, and with mystery, a
land of untold wealth and boundless
opportunity. Nowhere is there coun-
try Of more picturesquesness than this.
In scenic originality its beauty and
grandeur may be squalled but cannot be
surpassed. Its mountains and valleys,
mirrored lakes and turbulent streams,
Its hot springs and majestic cliffs, are
the wonder and admiration of all seek
ers of natural beauty who come to us.
There nature has been unusually lavish
and pours out her largness of riches in
calculable from great mines of gold,
from rich deposits Of mica and tin. The
swift flowing streams are filled with
mountain trout and other fish, small
game 10 plentiful, the hillsides are
clothed in bounteous forests of cedar,
pine and spruce, and altogether the
country is one stored with pleasant asso-
citation and prolific in health and pleas
ure giving opportunit
"With its unusual scenic beauty, its
soil fertility, remarkable water powers,
equable climate and recreation, certainly
the Black Hills section of South Dakota
offers every promise of becoming not
only a tourist rendezvous, famous
throughout the entire country, but a
happy home center as we'll, for nowhere
are there superior facilities for ideal
home building.
ITO those in less favored sections who
are seeking home or an ideal place Of
rest and recreation, in forest or on farm,
by lake or by brook; who desire sea-
sons camp for themselves, their family
and their friends; who yearn to visit
and know the most interesting and in
spring scenes in our country, we ex-
tend an invitation to come to our Black
Hills, the White Mountains of the West,
for in them there is no disappointment.
South Dakota keeps her promises"

Merchants Of Edgemont have hit on
novel way to raise funds for improv-
ing roads leading to town, which If fol-
lowed throughout the state would make
big difference in the amount of good
roads that could be built. 1t has been
ascertained that $l,5O00O is annually
spent by local merchants for attractive
calendars to give their customers as sou.
venirs. Most of those are given to the
farmers Several of these business men
have pooled the amount of their calen
dar fund and will spend it on making
roads. They believe this will be OF
greater benefit to their customers than
giving away chromos. Hot Syringe
