Mountaineers and Clansmen Have
 Evidently Escaped.

Pineyille, Ky, Dec. 30.-The at tempt of militia and deputies to cap ture Happy Jack" Hendrickson and ten or fifteen of his clan, believed ,c be in hiding in an abandoned mine near Ely. was complicated today when Tom Hendrickson. father of Happy Jack" visited the mine and said nei- ther his son nor any other member of the clan could be found.
 Officers doubted this, although 1t had been rumored ever since the siege of the mine began Friday that the clansmen had made their way out by secret exi,.
 The visit of Tom Hendrickson, who himself is under arrest was to per suade his son to surrender.
 An effort will be made tomorrow to smoke out the gang with sulphur fumes. Natives say the attempt will fail, as there are numerous air chute 3 opening on the ridge in which the mine is situated.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 30.-Members of the Rotary Club, a business mems organization, were assembled for an elaborate luncheon in honor of dis tinguished guests today, when more than 500 unemployed men put in an appearance.

BACKED ONTO HILLSIDE AT OJI. NAGA THEY ARE BATTLING
 AGAINST ODDS.
MANY FEDERALS SESERTiNG
But After First Panic They Rallied in Hillside Trenches and Are Fight ing Back-Five Thousand Rebels Opposing.

Presidio, Texas, Dec 30-The bat tie between 5000 rebels, under Gen. Toribio Ortega, and the northern di- vision of the Mexican federal army, entrenched around Ojinaga, Mexico, across the border from this place still was in progress when darkness fell tonight. 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 tue offensive, gaining foot by foot the ap- breaches 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 reb- lels. when daylight disclosed the posi- lion of Ortega's men, and put up a Yluc1y fight against heavy odds, al- though their losses were heavy from wounds and assertions. Many wound ed and deserters waded waist deep through the river to the American side.
 It was impossible to even approxi- | mate the number of dead and wound ed. Fifteen federal wounded who waded the river, were allowed to re- | main and were cared for by United States army physicians, but several score unwounded federal deserters were disarmed by the United States
 border patrol under Maj. McNamee
 and sent back across the border. 1 Army officers were convinced casu- alties had been heavy and Red Cross l representatives sent requests for
 more help and hospital supplies. They
 also requested permission to cross the
 border to attend the wounded on the battlefield.
 Neither of the opposing forces IS l provided with hospital facilities and ] the wounded have been left on the hillsides, where, they fell.

 Three of the largest wholesale houses in Little Rosk have already removed to St. Louis with temporary quarters, so they can furnish their patronage with liquors from that point, until the law is interpreted and until conditions in Little Rock have been settled so they can either do business there, or know that they can not operate there. The houses which have made this change are Lasker Brothers, Dan Lazerus and Sandefur Brothers.

MURDEROUS PRIEST IS REMAND ED BACK TO TONES FOR
 TRIAL AT LATER DATE.
WAS OUT FOR 36 HOURS
Ten Vote for Conviction ard Two Be- lieved Schmidt Was Insane at the Time He Murdered and Cut up Miss Anna Anmuller.

New York, Dec. 30.--After deliber- ating thirty-six hours the jury trying the case of Hans Schmidt, formerly rector of St. Josephs church, accused of the murder of Anna Anmuller, re- ported about 10 o'clock tonight that it could not reach an agreement and was discharged.
 The foreman of the jury reported to Judge Foster that there was no possibility of an agreement being reached, the last ballot taken being exactly as the first. Two of the jn- TOTS had stood out against conviction all the time, said Foreman Ottinger.
 After thanking the jurors and free ing them from further service in con- nection with the case, Judge Foster directed that Schmidt be remanded to the Tombs.
 The accused ex-priest heard the re- port of the jury without interest.
 It was learned that the two jr- TOTS who had failed to agree with the other ten were of the opinion that Schmidt was insane when he killed the woman with whose murder he is charged.
 The crime for which Hans Schmidt has been on trial is considered one of the most revolting in the history of this city.
 Early in September parts of wom- ans body were found in the Hudson river. Schmidt, arrested a few days later, admitted that on September ? he had killed Anna Anmuller. He said he acted by divine command His trial started December and to- wards the last became largely a bat tie between alienists for the defense and the state

ment troops retiring until, as dark ness fell ,all federals who had not fled, were huddled fin the shelter of the town itself.
 A small federal force made a gal lant stand in the custom house, which stands on an elevation midway be- tween the village proper and the plain. They fired a hall of bullets across the main approach to the town and for a time held the rebel forces in check As the day wore on, now ever the sputtering fire from the loop holes of the custom house gradually diminished and finally ceased entire ly.
 When their last cartridge had been fired the little handful of federals deserted the building and scurried across the mile and a half separating them from their comrades in the town. Their retreat gave the rebels an additional advantage of position Although the rebels tonight appear ed to have much advantage, the out come of the struggle was not clearly defined. That the federals will sur render is improbable, because Gen. Ortega has explicit orders to execute the so-called volunteers and their commanders. Gems Pascual Orozco, Ynez Salazar, Antonio RoJas, Blas Orpinal. Lazaro Alanis and Rouque Gomez. Eighteen hundred volunteers also come under the sentence or death imposed by order of Gen. Villa That the federals with all their gen erals except perhaps Gen. Francisco Castro. Gen. Jose Mancilla and Gen. Manuel Landa of the regulars, VIII be forced over to the United States in case of defeat, was thought on the American side to be most likely.
 The land which slopes down to the shallow Rio Grande on the American side all day presented the busy as- pect of the rear of an army in action. Cavalrymen of the border patrol gal loped along the waters edge, ready to send back any Mexican soldiers who attempted to cross or to stop possible general rush of the whole federal army across the border. Only wounded soldiers were given assist ance.
 A few civilians who dared to re- main in Ojinaga until the last came across unmolested News of the fight was brought to Maria, the near est railway station, sixty-seven miles away, by messengers, who came and went on various errands in connec- ton with the fighting across the riy- CT. The fence wire telegraph used by the United States army was food ed with official messages and was not available for the transmission of news matter.
 That there was no firing across the border was due chiefly to the fact that Ojinaga stands back from the river Commanders on both sides promised Major McNamee that range of fire would be directed away from the river if possible.

Burnett, Texas, February 1.-THE
famous Green steer was killed here
last week for beef This steer was
owned by +. p Green. president of
the Burnett National Bank. The steer
was twenty four year sold and the
most curious feature about him was
that his horns measured seven and
one-half feet from tip to tip.
Mr. Green has been offered fancy
prices for these horns many times.
but he has refused TO sell them The
steer has for years run on Mr. Green IS
ranch in this and Lldno counties.
Green is of the old school of ranch
men and treasures the horns of the
steer for the reason that they are re-

Katy-Central extension to Snyder and
also to secure the location Of the
West Texas A. & NJ. College
These institutions will be built and
the town that gets them will have to
go after them.
When public concerns begin to look
for a location they look for suitable
conditions and at the same time they
are governed by the spirit OF the peo-
pie. They are not apt to run over
community to get there. They watch

manifest a desire to have them they
will listen to propositions from 9th

Our businessSne ought to get to-
gether and formulate a proposition
and go TO the promoters and show
them what we have and what we want
TO do. Snyder cannot afford to lay
down on these things for in seeking
TO save a dollar we would likely lose
a hundred. Our people want 10 get
