KANSAS CITY BOY,
WOUNDED IN LUNG,
HERO OF JIMINEZ

Kansas City, Mo-, April 15.-Tracey
Richardson, % years old, a Kansas
City boy, shot through the lungs by
federal bullets at the battle of Jim
inez, won the day for the rebel forces
under General Orozco, when he climbed
back into the saddle of his machine
gun and swept the government
trenches. Under W Of the firing the
revolters' cavalry charged, routing the
enemy.
This information was conveyed to
friends here today in a letter from a
friend of Richardson, who witnessed
the battle. Richardson's action won
for him the title of 9TH hero Of Jimi-
nez." The letter says in part:
Richardson vas in the saddle of his
gun. The enemy a swept the plain
below him and Orozco's forces were
1000 yards. It swept the trench. Many
federals fell before they located his
position.
Then came q hail Of lead shot about
h young American. Calmly he contin-
ued firing with unerring aim. His gun,
firing 499 shots a minute, toppled the
trench mems line until the way seemed
clear for Orozco's charge. Just when
the bugle sounded the galloping ad-
vance, Richardson was hurled from his
seat, blood squirting from his breast
and back. He pulled himself to his
feet, and saw hat Orozco's cavalry,
started IN the charge, would be swept
by the federals. Sprawling back into
his seat after stopping the flood of
blood from his wounds the best he
could, he resumed firing. The cavalry
continued the charge under the cover
of the gun and routed the federalS.
While the federals were being pursued
the young American was lying uncon-
scious beside his gum"
Richardson, who is recovering from
his wounds, is the son of the late A.
r. Richardson, formerly a well known
contractor of Kansas City. He has
served in three campaigns. First with
Estrada in Nicaragua, then with
Christmas in Honduras and in the
present uprising in Mexico.

COFFEE HURTS
One in Three.

1t is difficult to make people believe
person out of every three, but people
are slowly finding it out, although
thousands of them suffer terribly be-
fore they discover the fact.
A New York hotel man says: Each
time after drinking coffee l became
restless, nervous and excited, SO that I
was unable to sit five minutes in one
place, was also inclined to vomit and
suffer from loss of sleep, which got
worse and worse.
"a lady said that perhaps coffee was
the cause of my trouble, and suggested
that I try Postum. / laughed at the
thought that coffee hurt me, but she
insisted so hard that I finally had
some Postum made. / have been US
ing it in place of coffee ever since, for
/ noticed that all my former nervous
ness and irritation disappeared. I be
gan to sleep perfectly, and the Postum
tasted as good or better than the old
coffee, so what was the use Of stick
ing to a beverage that was injurine
me?
"One day on an excursion up the
country ! remarked to a young lady
friend on her greatly improved appear
ance. She explained that some time
before she had quit using coffee and
taken to Postum. She had gained a
number of pounds and her former pal
pitation of the heart, humming in the
ears, trembling of the hands and legs
and other disagreeable feelings had
disappeared. She recommended me to
quit coffee and take Postum and was
very much surprised to find that l had
already made the change.
"She said her brother had also re
ceived great benefits from leaving of
coffee and taking on Postum" There's
q reason"

$4,000 ENGINEERS
AUTHORIZE STRIKE

Dublin, Ireland, April 13.-The ma
of more than $4,000 out of rs, 900 votes
cast, locomotive engineers IN SO rail-
roads east of Chicago and north of the
Norfolk e. Western have authorized
their officials TO call a strike should
further negotiations with railroads for
increased pay fail.
Final announcement OF the vote was
delayed for some time owing to the
non-arrival Of six boxes containing the
votes of the engineers on as many
roads in the east. The boxes had been
sent by express Wednesday night and
did not arrive until just before noon
today.
For a time some fear was felt for the
safety Of these boxes and a number of
