FOREIGNERS IN
 MEXICO WORRIED
No Trouble is Expecte das Long as
 United States is Neutral.

Washington, July 17.-Extreme agi- tation exists among the American and other foreign citizens along the lines of the Mexican Northwestern Rail- road, as a result of the retreat of the rebel army in that direction. No se- rious trouble is expected, however, as long as the United States adheres to it's present policy of strict neutrality and the Mexican armies confine them selves to communicating necessary supplies and transportation. It is pointed out here that the people in that section of Mexico are now under going the same annoyance and dis tress that was Suffered for many weeks by the foreign element in the state of Chihuahua along the line of the Mexican Central Railway. It is part of the fortunes of war, and so long as American citizens do not suffer actual violence they must rest content with knowledge that they will be amply repaid for any pecun- iary losses inflicted upon them as a result of the rebellion.

PROMINENT FARMER
 KILLED IN AFFRAY
G. NJ. Bibbs and D. P. Slaughter Prin-
 cipals in d Bloody Tragedy.

Helena, July 17-Details of an un- fortunate tragedy, in which one man was killed and another seriously in- jured, were received here Sunday morning from Poplar Grove, a small town on the Arkansas Midland Rail- way, out from this city.
 G. M. Bibbs was shot and killed at Poplar Grove by D. F. Slaughter the latter afterwards being shot and ser- iously wounded by Bibbs' son, physi- clans attending the wounded man an- nounce his injuries as serious. Both men are prominent farmers and well known, both in their own town and in Helena. The difficulty is thought to have originated over a dispute concerning a mule, although this has not been verified.
 According to details brought Tn here it appears that Bibbs was dr'v- ing down the road, when he reached a locality opposite the field belonging to Slaughter. A few words ensued, resulting in Slaughter raising a double -balmelled shotgun and empty ing the contents of both in the body of the other. Bibbs fell, and his son seeing him mortally wounded, raised on own shotgun and fired on Slaugh- ter, wounding him in the breast. Ar rest followed and if the conditions of the wounded man permits, the hear- ing will probably occur at Once

mingle too much in politics if he has
any ambition to retain his position.
The American League realized this fact
some years ago when Ban Johnson was
elected for a term of twenty-five
years. This expression of confidence
has made Johnson a full fiedged boss
of the organization, and much of its
success can be attributed to that fact
With the Tinker deal virtually off
and Cincinnati forced to open negoti-
ations with Frank Chance, the chances
are that the New York American
League club will have to look else
where for a manager. There is no
doubt that Owner Farrell was waiting
for the Tinker deal to be cleared up so
that he could talk business with
Chance. but that is now out of the
question. since Hermann is sure to
want the former Cub leader for his own
team. There is not much managerial
material available just now, at least
not of that caliber which a major
league club would want to take a
chance with. Farrell will have to do
some tall searching to find the man
who can properly handle his team, and
he may find before he is through that
it would have been wise to retain
Harry Wolverton until the efforts to
secure his successor have proven sue

Expect Trouble.
Hermann, it is reported, was one of
the league men willing to accept an
apology from Murphy for his part in the
FOgel scandal when that affair was set
tied at Wednesdays meeting. Hermann
was urged by other club owners to sup

that the latter could be placed on trial

delay. Under the present circumstances
therefore. it will not be surprising if
