Back from Argentine.
John Farley Returns Home After
Spending Several Months In the
Southern Continent.

John E. Farley returned from
South America last week, after a
stay of several months in the Ar.
gentine Republic, where he was
employed by the international
Harvester Company as demon
strator. Mr.. Farley was sta
toned in one of the provinces tri-
butary to Buenos Aires, where
the firm handling the harvester
company's machine, had head
quarters. This was Mr.. Farleys
second visit to Argentine, and he
says he was getting so that he
could understand the language
pretty well and use it in some of
the common expressions. The
country is receiving considerable
immigration from Europe, but is
yet in a crude state in compari-
son with North America. On
his return trip John came by
way of England, and had an op-
portunity of spending several
days in Liverpool and London.
The last few weeks in Argentine
was spent in demonstrating the
company's gasoline traction en-
gine, and it is possible he may be
sent to Germany to continue this
work in that country for a sea-
season. While enjoying these
trips to the foreign countries,
John says there is no place like
the good old U. S. A.
Mr.. Farley brought several
copies of the English printed pa
per of Buenos Aires, from which
one can get something of an idea
of the city and country.

Fears a Raid.
The Unsettled Conditions In Mexico
Causes Geo. Clark to Register
1T American Consulate.

A letter addressed to the Mer-
chants National bank of this city
was received from Geo. M. Clark
former resident of this city,
who has been living in Mexico for
number of years and who is
now located on the Gel Vale Her
mosa Ranch,' near Rincon An
tonic, Oaxaco, Mexico, stating
that there are several bands of
bandits who are making raids on
the small towns and ranches in
that part of the country and that
they had threatened to raid the
ranch. The letter stated that
the writer had deemed it prudent
to register with the U. S. con-
sulate so that claims for indemni
ty could be hastened. George
says that if the band that should
attack them is not too large they
are prepared to take care of
themselves. He says that these
bands call themselves rebels, but
they are simply outlaws and reb
els against any form of govern
ment Mrs. Clarks mother, Mrs.
Parkhurst, lives at San Diego,
Cal, and Mr.. Clark has sister,
Mrs. Earl Michael, at Goshen,
Ind.
The letter brings to mind very
vividly the unhappy condition of
things in Mexico, and the ever
present danger which Americans
are in while residing there in
the unsettled state of govern
ment.

Mr.. Hobbs played only nine games,
taking the place of Mr.. O'Neill, who
dropped out after the first game.
The prize offered for the winner OF
the most games was awarded to Colby
Hewitt of Nassau, who won nine out
of the ten games he played and
was defeated only by S. A. Wilson OF
Big Stone City The prize was q
small center table with checker
board inlaid in the top. Mr.. Hewitt is
a lad about sixteen years old, whom
it will be remembered had his knee in
jured by a kicking COW three or four
years ago, and after several opera
tions on his leg it was finally taken
of. He has had a good deal OF hos
pital experience in the last few years,
and must have had some nurses who
were checker players. Young Mr.
Hewitt is sometimes introduced as the
"sOn of j. G.. Hewitt, the banker 1t
Nassau" but we presume that here
after j. G.. Hewitt will be introduced
IS 1.-THE father of Colby Hewitt, the
