 Invasion Aeua Prieta Billed
Douglas Reports 500 Rebels at Canezas Springs; Fed erals Endorsements Ar rive from Nac0 Bisbee- ties Arrange to Make ash for Shelter City to
 See the ShOw-if Possible

Reports from Douglas are that the battle spirit is reviving and that there may be another battle at Agua Prieta with Douglas furnishing grandstand seats for spectators as was the case a year ago last spring when hundreds rushed from Bisbee to witness real war A body of red flaggers, said to number 500 are reported at CeneZaS Springs, where Blanco encamped be- fore he made his fiasco in front of an "admiring" thrOng on Chat well remembered Easter Sunday morning. It is said that they have warned those living in that vicinity to leave the danger zone and that refugees were coming into Douglas yesterday re porting a coming advance of Salazar and his forces. Meantime a force has gone out from Agua Prieta to meet the corners and endorsements came to the battered little border town via Naco yesterday, said to number sey- eral hundred and to include a large number of Yaquis.
 Arrivals from Douglas on Sunday stated that it had been reported that the red fiaggers were on their way to AgUa Prieta and that there were said to be seven or eight hundred close to the Gauardo ranch which is some thirty-five miles from Agua Prieta Douglas transfer men reaped the bene- fit of this report and' proceeded to carry away government papers from Agua Prieta to Naco for safety. Yes terday came the report of the pres. ence of the rebel forces at Cenezas Springs brought in by refugees and the invasion" of Sonora by the reb els appears imminent
 It was stated by Douglasites yester. day said to be familiar with condi. tions and movements that the Feeder. al troops had gone to meet the en. emy desiring that the fighting should be away from the border and that repetition of the former unfortunate firing across the line might not oc. cur. During the day the report was current that the rebels would arrive outside Agua Prieta last evening O! during the night. Several in Bisbee at once arranged to be notified by telephone should there be fighting and made plans for a hurried dash by automobile over the state highway in

case there should really be conflict so as to witness whatever may occur.
 It seemed like old times to hear from Douglas battle rumors. This time the reports appeared to be fairly well authenticated From Naco al so came reports of reenforcements being sent to Agua Prieta and the stories brought in by the refugees were considered the mast definite confirmation of the war rumors."
 It is, of course, possible that the conflict, should there be one, will occur away from the border a few miles but should the federals attempt to enter Genezas pass they would find the enemy holding an advantag. ous position while if they wait in the open valley neither would have especially advantageous places for of fense or for defense.
 It is said that the Federals are well armed and munitioned and that ir this they have a decided advantage over the rebels.

FAIR sELF-DEFENsE.

4 great outcry will be raised by ultra pacifists against the resolution voted yesterday by the senate commit tee on foreign relations It will be called a piece of gratuitous jinsOism, an insult to friendly nations, an out break of militarism, a recrudescencs 0 Imperialism.
 Americans will, in the main. accept the resolution less excitably and will approve it as a most reasonable asseT- ton of rule of national protection. The fact and not the form is to be considered. Germany would not let England bribe or bully Denmark, Nor way or Sweden into giving her a base O.. the isItic, and sa matter Us sell preservation we cannot afford not to discourage any projects looking to the present or future establishment by any great power of bases threatening our shores.
 It is gratifying to note that the Jap anese government has been quite clear of the Magdalena bay project fact which makes it all the easier for us to announce the principle laid down in the senate resolution.

WOMAN TRIES ID SHOOT PARAMOUR
 GETS 30 DAYS
Intended Victim Takes Gun from Woman; SIS Fine,
 l5-Day Jail Sentence

Sunday evening report was cir culated 10 the effect that there had been a shooting or an attempted shooting near the Sacramento shaft. The affair was aired in court at Low ell yesterday and it developed that there had been an attempted shooting which was followed by the arrest Of both parties, a woman and a man, the woman. it is said having made an attempt to kill the man although such was not the charge which was lodged against her.
 Comparatively meager accounts of what actually occurred between May Gillis and Victor Ritner were given by these two when they were ar. raigned in court. It became evident that the two quarreled and that the woman attempted 10 shoot the man who took her revolver away. In court he appeared reluctant to testify against her and so she escaped fac. ing felony charge Of assault with a deadly weapon CT assault with in tent 10 kill. As a result of the af. fair both are now serving jail sen. tences.
 In Lowell May Gillis and Victor Ritner are considered of the undesir. able citizen class. A short time since the pair was in court on charges of living together without the formali. ty in advance of marriage ceremony but at the time they got of. Tester. day the woman was found to be a yagrant and was given a ninety day jail sentence.
 In the possession of Ritner, when he was arrested, was found the Dis tol with which it is said the woman had sought to kill him. On a charge of carrying a deadly weapon the off. cers had the goods on their prisoner and in court he was assessed a fine or $I5 and at the same time a fifteen day Jail sentence was imposed

Another sufferer was O. s. French of this city and there were several others who were more or less battered.
 Trouble in District
 But the war spirit was also on hereabouts and a woman is said to have attempted to shoot a man near the Sacramento shaft. while in town there were some half dozen fights that resulted in arrests. Yesterday was pennanee day in court in con. sequences. James O'Conner was fin. ed S759, C. Mitchell was unable to meet his assessment of S10, and w. Crossland paid S750.

PRICE OF FINE GRADES OF
COTTON.
Grenada. Miss, Oct. Z. 1912.

Grenada, Miss, Oct. 7, 1912.
To the Planters Of Mississippi.
We understand that the cotton
buyers cannot afford to pay more
than twenty cents for | lilo to !
Ia inch cotton that will class
strict middling and better: our
state will not produce as much OF
this kind of cotton by 40 per cent.
as it did two years ago when this
kind OF cotton sold for % to "a
cents per pound. Do you think
the mills are offering the cotton
buyers enough for this cotton?
Let us believe that the mills are
to blame for this low price, and
resolve that we will not sell this
cotton for less than 23c a pound
until we are forced to sell to pay
our debts. We understand that
there is no staple cotton grown in
the United States that will mix as
well with the Egyptian cotton as
the staple cotton grown in the
Mississippi Delta.
The fine manufactured goods
are high in price, the plain grey
cloths are higher in price than
they were two years ago. The
fine cotton is about four cents a
pound cheaper and much less
grown. Twenty-three cents is not
an unreasonable price for this cot
ton. If you can hold it for sixty
or ninety days don't you believe
you can get % cents per pound?
We ask the Delta papers to
please copy and request their
readers to not sell a bale of 1 Ia
inch strict middling cotton for
less than % cents per pound II
they can hold it 80 days without
hurting their creditors.
Yours truly,
B. C. DUNCAN.

A modest competency is better
than great wealth. At the Amer
lean Life-Insurance Convention in
Chicago, the president Of the as
ISOLATION declared that women
in so-called high life are not good
risks. Eating rich and indigesti-
BILE food, drinking harmful bever-
ages, and keeping unwholesome
hours, they wreck their health
and go the quick route to the
grave. Toward other women,
life-insurance companies feel diff
ferently." Being in society seems
to be classed as an extra
hazardous occupation.
