deal, but remember thar Babe gets only
one meal day The beef a fore
quarter, costs us six cents pound
That's cheaper thar at any time in the
past two years
Yes, it's good beef We can't afford
to feed the animals on bad meat"

Wife of Clarence Duryea. She obtained
a divorce in Chicago in 1910 and mar
ried Johnson. She was a cousin of
Floretta Whaley, the girl who five
years ago eloped with Rev. Jere Cook
from Hampstead, \. Y.
Friends of the woman say that the
real cause Of her nervous breakdown
was the realization that she had cut
herself off forever from old friends and
associations. She was treated as an
outcast by Johnson's negro friends. who
resented his having married a woman
outside his own race.
The woman was to have left last
night for Las Nesas, n NJ. in the hope
that change of climate would benefit
her health. She broke down shortly
before train time and was unable to de-
part. johnson was at the station ex-
planning the situation to friends with

Douglas. Aqua Prieta is just across
the line
The warning was sent by United
States army officers and two cavalry
troops began patrolling the border line
at dawn. while rebels moved two ma
chine guns to the east side of the Mex
lean town. There was little sleep here
last night in anticipation of a rebel at
tack. General Rojas' response to the
warning stated that his attack on Aqua
Prieta, if Lieutenant Colonel Begne
the federal commander, did not sur
render. would be made from the east to
avoid shooting over the line.
Begne sent word here last night that
he would not surrender. His force con-
sists of 600 and two thirds of these are
regarded as Of doubtful loyalty Rojas
has 1000 men. the great majority Of
them bandits recruited from northern
towns The federals threw up a barri
cade about the town during the night,
but this was not considered strong
enough to obstruct an attack in force.
