Letter Telling Of Conditions
Along the Border and in

EDITOR GUARDIAN: - Since the
vrebels left the colonies about a
month ago the people have been
making hay while the sun shines, I"
by hauling out their wheat and
other movables, which will greatly
benefit those who are saving their
things.
When Col. Antonio Rojos was in
the colonies with his forces, he called
all of the local Mexicans together
and organized them, with officers to
lead them. He also had all who
would sign a document, which
formed a compact that they would
not allow the Mormons to come back
and move any of their things out.
Some of them have expressed a de-
sire to hold to this agreement, but
on account Of there being so few in
number, they have not dared resist.
They made good use of their time
and carried off everything they
could. They have driven off great
many of our cattle and horses. Both
rebels and federals alike have no
respect for property The Mexicans
say they are just alike; when the
rebels come along they go through
the houses. taking what they want
and If there are any horses that will
: do to ride they take them, and the
federals do just the same, Many of
the people are working burros and
will have to depend on them to put

not do much farming this year be.

The Lillywhite Brothers are again
running their mill. They. with
others, expect to plant this winter
if conditions remain as quiet as they
are at present.
The machinery has arrived and
is being placed in the new mil al
Aqua Prieta. There are already
several thousand bushels Of wheat
stored and ready for grinding as
soon as the mill is ready.
All of the people travelling to anC

MRS. DAN KINTNER,
1902 Pleasant St., Defiance, ..
Many remedies are recommended
for diseases of the nervous system
that fail to produce results because
they do not reach the seat of the
trouble. DR.. Miles Nervine has
proven it's value in such cases so
many times that it is unnecessary
to make claims for it. You can
prove its merits for yourself by
getting a bottle of your druggist,
who will return the price if you
receive no benefit.

"Fer9uSon Of Troy.

This is the title Of three-act farce
comedy, full of scenes that will not fail
to provoke laughter, if properly staged.
1t will be the next production by the
Benton Dramatic Club, and as the cast
is exceptionally good to have been
selected from town as small as Benton,
the performance will no doubt be we'll
up to the former high standard of the
town.
The play contains no plot, but brings
out number of misunderstanding
which later develop ridiculous scenes.
1t is laughable throughout to the on
locker, but not so to those on the stage.
The Elder finds the world turned against
him, his wife false to him and believes
he really is to fight a duel. The chicken
fight he witnesses gets him into stew.
Tom has some sport out of the thing,
but later gets caught in the dragnet of
suspicion and prepares for the duel.
Charley catches the same fever; lionel
trouble throughout, and poor Mike gets
but drop O. comfort, cigar-and two
black eyes. AT the close OF the second
act Ellen discovers Walter to be mon
ster. Belinda is unconsciously instru-
mental in this, and, Of course, there fol-
lows the war Of words between the two.
Suzette is greatly aggravated by lionel,
and also gets at cross purposes with
Charles, as the story should run. Poor
Johanna has her ups and downs, "the
lunatic from mkt dure" giving her some
trouble, but she finds her greatest
source of worry in an effort to entertain
Mike, her "shteady."
That sounds like there is a lot of action
in the play, and there is. And more, it
is of the class any one receives we'll and
laughs over heartily. If you enjoy a
good laugh, you should not miss it.
The play lasts for two hours, but
specialties to be introduced will enter
tain the audience for about thirty
minutes longer. There will be mono
logue betweensthe first and second acts
by Mrs. J. NJ. Stacey Of Curtis and
another by Mr.. Beverly Kelly OF this
place, who will make an effort to imper-
senate the burnt-cork artist Of the
vaudeville stage. Both promise to be
exceptionally good.
The curtain will rise promptly at 6:5
o'clock. Music will be furnished by
local talent. The prices of admission
will be 80, Is and Is cents. Mr.. r. B
Hill is the ticket agent, but tickets will
also be on sale next week at Belcher
Wise's drug store. The cast Of charac
tiers for the play follows:
Walter Hawley, an Elder in the Re
formed Church-A. D. Scanland.
