Many Killed and Wounded.

Presidio, Tex, Dec. 31.-The battle
between 5000 rebels, under Toriblo Or
geta, and the northern division of the
Mexican Federal army, entrenched
around Ojinaga, Mexico, across the
border from this place, still was in
progress when darkness fell last night
No bullets came across the border.
The forces had been engaged for
thirty-six hours, and many had been
killed and wounded
Gen. Ortega, executing a series Of
flank movements, steadily kept on the
offensive, gaining foot by foot the ap-
proaches to the Federal stronghold.
The Federal forces, crippled and dis
organized by the first rebel onslaught,
clung to the hillside trenches, where
their leaders had decided to make a
last stand. They rallied somewhat
from the panic that seized many of
them with the first volleys of the rebels
when daylight disclosed the position
of Ortega's men, and put up plucky
| fight against great odds, although their
losses were heavy from wounds and
desertions. Many wounded and desert
ed waded waist deep through the river
to the American side.
1t was impossible even to approx
mate the number of dead and wounded

yicksburg, Miss, Dec. 31.-After a
trial extending over two weeks the
iury in the case OF G. A. Hobbs, state
senator, indicted jointly with Lieuten-
ant Governor Theodore Bilbo on
charges of soliciting and accepting
bribes, retired shortly before 9 o'clock
last night to make up its verdict. At
1920 o'clock Judge Henry G. Mounger
ordered the jury locked up for the
night and adjourned court until this

cluded bitter arraignment of Sena-
tor Hobbs at $50 last night and ended
a series of arguments characterized
by salty criticisms from both sides.
Judge Mounger merely handed the
foreman of the jury the necessary pa
pers in the case, saying:
Gentlemen, you will retire and con-
slider YOUR verdict. Talk to no one and
let it be known through the bailiffs
when you are ready to return your de-
cision."
Judge Mounger then left the bench,

A Great Public Character.

To this generation the name Of
John Y. McKane. once so mighty
and so ahhorred in the politics Of
this State. is not even a memory.
Mostly unknown to or unheeded
by the general public are the
brilliant energy and wealth Of
legal and Intellectual resource
which first lifted William j..
Gaynor above the obscurity OF
that ancient unfamiliar Brooklyn
and Long Island affair in which
We Of Manhattan took but a Ian
guild or patronizing interest. The
fighter Of bosses, the advocate of
the taxpayers, even the Supreme
Court Judge, had left only a vag-
ue and fugitive popular impress
sion, so swift is the procession of
events and personalities in this
town and so multitudinous and
distracting are the calls upon this
rather fatigued and cynical world
in a world of New Workers.
The Gaynor of the last four
years, Mayor Gaynor, the home
ly. multangular and always
salient figure of 50 much attrac-
ton and repulsion, must have
been the continuation and unfold
ing of the earlier, but he took on
a sharpness of contour, a warmth
of color and an unfailing and
varying charm, felt and acknOwl-
edged even by enemies of the
official. He was a great, an
original character.
