He was wide-awake now. Doubt

that had been thoughtful of Pegloe-

Pegloe to boast of that Judge Slocum

Of Town.

DL PASO, Tex. Dec Pa house di-

eral at Colonia JuareZ, in the Casas
Grandcs district last SUNDAY. Persons
arriving here tonight from the American
colony relate how the federal column
of General Jose Blanco attacked itself
last Sunday while seeking the rebels.
Hearing that The SaIa1nr rebels We're
at Coloria Juarez, travellers relate. the
federal commander divided his force OF
600 men and attacked the town from op-
posito directions. The inhabitants hugsed
the floors of their houses until the firing
stopped, After lighting four hours
against each other-and eXpending about
1000 rounds of ammunition. the federals
learned that they We're fighting one an
other and that the rebels never hud been
in the town. Several soldiers were
wounded. but none killed.
In the meantime Salazar was cvacuat-
ing Ascencon and moving toward Casas

The reported victory OF Blanco against
the rebels may have been the ''attack"
on Colonia Juarcz. Official advices In

1T is pointed out that notice

pnny is printed on flap OF the carton
in which the flakes arc packed, stat
ing that the package aud its contents
arc sold conditionally with tho distinct
understanding that they will not be re-
tailed at less than 10 cents per package.
For selling at less than that price the
vendor is warned by the notice that he
is liable to prosecution as an infringer
of patent rights.
Tho government insists that the pat
ented carton can afford no protection
iu attempting TO fix resale prices by re-
tailers because il is alleged:
The carton was not in fact patent
able as all Of its material features had
long been in use before the patent was
issued; the yaluo Of the carton is neg,
ligible, the contents alone being de-
sired by tho purchaser, the defendants
having sold tho cartons and contents
