From Fridays Daily

Major Kent Nelson. of the Medi- cal corps of the army, left yester- day for Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, after brief visit 10 Fort Whipple, on his return from Fl Paso, Texas, where he was on duty with the 18th Infantry.
 Major Nelson is under orders to report at Fort Lcavenworth, and in speaking of the change, was pro- nounced in saying that Prescott is far more attractive, and from a eli matic standpoint, is without an equ- al in the army posts of the nation, hence his reluctance to leave. That this belief is also shared by the off ccrs and men of the first battalion of the 18th can be vouched for by their desire to be returned to Whip pie from Fort Bliss at the carlies, opportunity. An order to this ef- feet is expected to be issued by the War Department within the mex, few weeks.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 30.- The hght between the Taf, and Roose. welt forces over presidential cleo tors in Kansas has been transfer red officially from the courts of the state to the Supreme Court. It will be rushed so the cour, may dispose of the case immediately on conven- ing October l4. The decision of the Kansas courts is adverse to Taft followers.

ter to the mouth of the 1000 foot tunnel has also been inaugura,ed; in short every department of the company's interests at that point is teeming with energy, to rush the project to completion. This branch railroad will have a length of about six miles, while in a direct line the distance is not over two and one-haf miles.
 Another interesting typographical condition in that country is reveal ed in extending of this line from the mouth of the 1000 foot tunnel to the town of Jerome. less than one mile distant, but which in neg otiating will require a six mile line of railroad. The contract for grading this branch road. has not as yet been awarded, but will be taken up in the near future. The famous switchbacks of the Brad shaw Mountain railway will pale before the new line to skirt the ra- vines and mountains which enshroud the big copper producer, and the feat will be an interesting one from an engineering standpoint.

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-The present unsettled conditions in Nor thern Mexico and danger to foreign CTS in that region are charged to the collapse of the Orozco rebel lion and the breaking up of the rebel army into small predatory bands, in a statement issued by Senor De La Cueva, in charge of the Mexican embassy.

COMMIT GRIMES
 IN LiBERTY'S NAME

DOUGLAS. Ariz., Aug. 2.-The atrocities of war are terrible. when countvd in death lists and numbers of wounded, but this is not always the worst that follows a campaign as is now in progress in Mexico.
 4 man who has travelled all through Mexico, and left there recently, de, clares that the collection of l5o young girls for purposes oi prostitu- ton by the forces under Rojas, be- tween Dolores and Sahuaripa, as reported in the dispatches. is a living truth. He says that the troops passed through the towns and mn ing camps selecting the most beau. tiiul young girls to be found, and compelling them to follow the army and submit to outrages unspeakable. The parents of these victims pro tested with all but their lives, only to be laughed at and overpowered;; He says that the actual number o' girls, ranging from twelve. to twenty five years, thus entrapped and drag ped away from their homes, IS from i50 to 200.
 Wanton Slaughter.
 The same gentleman tells of the wanton slaughter of men. women and children at a little place named Arecechi. Fourteen of the leading citizens of this place, he says. were charged by the rebels with aiding and abetting the fcderals, and stood up by wall and shot in the very presence of their families and friends, The rebels afterwards conhseaied al' their earthly possessions, and out raped the women and young girls. He says that since the rebels have evacuated the state of Chihuahua the whole of Sonora is terrorized, and that he looks for greater panic among the populace 10 escape rom that state than prevailed among the, Mormons and others in the state oi Chihuahua in such great numbers probably from fear generated from the reports of the ,efugees who leit Chihuahua in such great numbers within the past few weeks.

Comments Of The Game.
The catch of the line drive by
Wells in the eighth with two
men on bases was a beauty.
The playing of Davis Mt short
stop was sensational, as he
made several tightening stops
and throws to first bnse.
Old reliable Duck Wampler
came in with his two base la.
when it was needed.
@. Murrin played his usually
strong game and was there
with u hit when it was needed.
The Keokee players were
shy on stealing bases from Tate
as his pegs to second were right
on the spot.
The youngsters are calling
Doc Baker the ely Catcher"
as he gobbled up every thing
that came his way.
"Old" Ed Taylor was ready
to tag any Keokee player who
CHANGED his way but they all
gave him wide berth, as
Davis and Duck would not let
them pass second.
Keokee could not get hit in
right field as Bobby Holster
was right on the spot.
"Marquard" Hall assisted in
winning his game by u two
base hit in the fifth. Old relia-
BILE Bill Bailey was ready to re-
lieve Hall ut any time but was
not needed. u
Here's three cheers to Coon
ME Mack" Bowyer and his
champions.
The german Thursday eve
ming in Collier Hall was one of

Decidedly the beat game of
base ball played in thia county
for years was the game played
between Keokee and Stonega
for the championship of the
Coal Field League. This game
was won by Stonega by the
score Of three to nothing after
a hard fought contest, as it was
anybodys game up until the
last inning, as several times
during the game Keokee had
two men on bases with only
ono out and when n hit meant
tying the score. But the Sto-
mega boys by fast and snappy
playing made double plays
which killed their chances of
