Seetions-Many Battles are Report
ed Throughout Republic.

Ell Paso, Tex, May 10. - Advance
squads of the Mexican rebel army
have been repulsed by federal troops
in the territory north of Torreon.
Nevertheless, sharp skirmishes be-
tween outposts continue. All this is
preliminary to what probably will be
the most decisive battle of the cam
paign in the north.
Fifteen thousand men are engaged
on both sides. The rebels under
Orozco aim at Torreon, whence they
hope by winning victory to strike
straight for the Mexican capital.
FederaIs Draw First Blood.
The government claims it drew first
blood yesterday, killing ninety insur-

reon. General Huerta, commander OF
the federal army of Northern Mex
leo, transmitted today by telegraph
to an Associated Press representative
here news of military developments
in the last twenty four hours.
The wire had been set up direct to
the federal camp, being routed from
Ell Paso via Laredo, Tex, Monterey
and Torreon, roundabout circuit
eastward of more than one thousand
miles. This was made necessary by
the seizure of all telegraphic lines
directly south of here by the rebels.
General Huerta seemed enthusias-
tic over prospects of the battle to
come. ~,
General Huerta's Report.
Yesterday, Thursday, Generar Ra-
bago completely routed 1000 rebels
at zaratoza and Tlahualilo, both near
Torreon," wired Huerta.
'The rebels lost ninety dead and
many wounded. Our loss was seven
dead and few wounded. The reb-
els were driven back in hasty flight
and are pursued by cavalry under
General Villa.
"On ednesday we heard that a de-
tachment of 1000 rebels was advanc-
ing on us, and we organized a col
umn which went by railroad under
General Rabago To cut off retreat
Wy nUnp1and In1
of Villa.
They arrived about 6 o'clock on
Thursday morning and Immediately at
tackled the rebels. AS the fight grew
more intense, general Rabago ar
rived and flanked the rebels. He
had with him artillery and machine
guns. The fight lasted six hours. We
completely routed the enemy.
"a telegram has just been brought
to me from General Trucy Aubert at
Cuarlo Cienegas, which says the
rebel chief Salazar was completely
routed and is running away in the
direction of Sierra Mojada," Huerta
said. ~
Couriers from the advance guard
arrived at this juncture, according
to General Euerta, and informed him
that the federal outposts were in
possession of the Mexican Central
railroad up to within twelve miles
Bermejillo.
No communication was had here
with the rebel front early today, but
the liberal official conceded they met
a stubborn resistance in the initial
skirmishing.
Today is the first anniversary of
the surrender of Juarez to Madero,
and equally important developments
in the Mexican history are said to be
expected

JUDGE kRAUss SUMMONS SPE-
cIAL JURY AND WILL START

Wednesday afternoon until yesterday
at noon, Judge Krauss yesterday call
ed in the twelve men who were hope
lessly divided on the case of T. J.
Abbott. charged with selling whisky,
and declared a mistrial in the case.
The case has been one of more
than usual interest, inasmucn as it
was once before tried, the defendant
convicted and heavy fine and SEN
tence imposed. A new trial was re-
Gently granted by the supreme court.
Judge Kraus, however, in declar-

GINIA OUTLAWS.

Wytheville, Va, May 10 Testify
ing in behalf of Floyd Allen, one OF
the men charged with the murder of
her sister n-law, Mrs David Ayres
today at the trial of Allen, said the
shot which killed Miss Elizabeth
Ayres came from behind where she
was in the court room and from the
direction where the clerk of the
court, Dexter Goad, was standing.
Good progress was made today in
the trial of Allen for the murder OF
William M. Foster, prosecutor FOR

nesses on the stand to refute testi-
mony given for the prosecution. Da-

the Hillsville court.
He was put through a searching
cross examination by the prosecution
and admitted that he had heard Floyd
Allen curse one of the witnesses who
had testified against him at the trial
in Hillsville, He also said Judge Mas
sic, who presided at the trial, had
reprimanded both Floyd and Jasper

j. w. WILLIAMSON OF THIS CITY,
SINCE THE CIVIL WAR.
They Met on the Streets of Macon
and After Short Conversation Dis
covered that They Were Brothers.
Separated for 4e Years.

After being separated for rorty-
nine years, each not knowing wheth-
er the other was dead Or alive, two
confederate veterans, one a Bruns-
WICK man, met at the reunion in Ma
con a few days ago, and had the
meeting of the old soldiers been a
failure in every way possible. it would
have been a great success to these
old soldiers.
In 1868 James w. and John A. Will
hanson parted at Monticello, Fla. to
night for their country. They were
assigned to different regiments and
each had no intelligence of the other.
Thousands of times have these BROTH
ers wondered what became of the
other. All these years have passed,
but neither had received any mes
sage as to the whereabouts of his
brother, and both had reached the
conclusion, probably, that his brother
Aad met death in some battle between
the States.
James w. Williamson, who has
been residing in Brunswick for some
time, left with the other members of
Camp Jackson Monday night to at
tend the annual reunion in Macon.
While walking up one of the princf-
pal streets of the Central City he
discovered a face he thought looked
familiar to him. He began a con-
Versation and sooned learned that
the man was John A. Williamson. of
Lexington, Miss, and soon the reali-
zation daWned upon both that they
were brothers who had parted at the
Florida home just forty eight years
! ago to go to war.
Such love feast was never before
witnessed between two brothers. and
during the entire week in Macon
they have been constantly together.
They were both guests of J. S. Cherry.
Macon veteran, and most of their
time has been spent in discussing
various events that occurred during
the long ago. Each of the brothers
We're quick to acknowledge that he
believed the other was dead.

the parish known as the Raise river
section which includes New Roads, is
now being rapidly inundated. The
banks along that waterway are COM
paratively high, but the water from
the Torras crevasse is running over
in number of places.
An old man, who was among the
last of the residents taken out of
Morganza, gave his reasons today why
he thought the suffering caused by
the flood was the result of a punish

God put the Indian and bull frog
there" he said. 1--WE run the Indian
away and eat the bull frog. He pun
shed us for it by overfiows."
Carcasses of hundreds of animals
are floating in the back-water be-
tween New Roads and Torras. They
can neither be buried or burned and
the health authorities are somewhat
puzzled as to what disposition TO
make of them. Every carcass has a
half dozen or more buzzards as pas
sengers.
The telegraph operator at Bachelor
asked to be relieved of his duties to-
day because of the odor from the
dead cattle floating around the rail-
road station.

get out of here. Can't stand this
awful SMELL" was the message he
sent.
Today an old negro who had driver
his cattle through the country from
Fordoche, ahead of the crevasse wa
ter, walked up to one of the 5oScrn-
ment representatives and said Gap,
is you running the government?"'
After the officer explained thlt he
was very small cob in the big gov.
eYnnent wheel and asked as t. his
wants, the negro re9lied: CAL |

my cows and a sandwich for my
self"
He was given four bales Of hay
for his cattle and a square me"1 for
himself.
