 Absolute ExtermiatiOn At
 Hands Of Ortega's Men

Presidio, Tex, Dec 31-PracticaIIy the entire remnant of the northern division of the Mexican government army faced extermfnation today. If the federals cross the border into the United States, they will be arrested and disarmed, ana, if they continue tke battle which has been in progress for 48 hours, they are threatened with death by the 4,50O rebels under Toribid Ortega, attacking OJ1naga, across the river from here.

 The rebels yet must take the circu- lar line Of hills which protect Ojinaga before they can direct their fire into the heart of the federal Notifications It will be a matter of hours before the rebels can enter the little Mexican village The federal army has not the guns to match the rebels and it de- bends mainly on it's rifle fire and the protection of a few mountain guns.

 Attempts to Kill
6By Staff Correspondent)


 Westport, Dec. 31-It became known in town today that daring robbery was attempted at the home of Frank Ember in Crossway High way on Monday. It appears that Elm ber's wife and child died some time ago. Both are said to have been insured for large amounts. When the money was obtained by Ember it was left in the house and was to be placed in a local bank in a few days. Mon day afternoon while Ember was out a man known to the police as Juan Juandette called at the house and asked one of Ember's children if he could enter. Thelchild became fright ened and shut thesdoor before Juan dette had a chance to enter. Juan dette went away from the house and returned in few minutes with a shot gun. Going to the door of the house he again tried to enter and finding the door locked shot both barrels of the gun at the door. A neighbor saw the man firing at the house and running into the street frightened him away. Sheriff Silverman of Sauga- tuck was sent for and looked for the man all night. It is known that Jaun- dette knew that the money was in the house and waited for Ember to leave. No trace of Jaundette has been found.

CONNECTICUT RIVER
 IS NEARLY CLOSED

Old Lyme, Conn, Dec. 31-Naviga- tion on the Connecticut river for the present season is pretty nearly over. Today the steamer NTiddletown, of the Hartford & New York Transportation Line will make her last trip although the steamer Hartford will continue running as long as possible.
 Three tugs started up the river to keep the channel open. They took with them a barge from a local coal company's wharf out of which 75 of the 100 tons of coal consigned to the company had been removed. They refused to wait longer for fear that they might not be able to get through a consignment of wire for horseshoe nails to Hartford.
