fused and the railroads appealed

MAN is FOUND
IN NUDE STATE
AND BLEEDING

Hartford, March 17.-Hurried1y
called to the home of Henry NJ. Sperry
IL Park terrace. at 8 o'clock this
morning, by M. Toscan Bennett, who
lives next door, on suspicion that there
were burglars in the house, the police
broke open the door of the kitchen
and found Michael Thomas on the
about the hands and wrists and partly
conscious from loss of blood. An art
cry in the wrist had been severed. The
man was hurried to st. Francis hos
pitaI in a serious condition. 1t was
feared this afternoon that he might
not recover. Mr.. Sperry, who had
been in Scranton, Pa. returned this
noon. Miss Sullivan is the house
keeper.
The police found signs of violent
struggle in the room. The girl was
reticent in her statements, but alleged
that Thomas attempted to assault her
and that she fought him as stubbornly
as she was able. She declared that
the hurts received by him were made
by his pushing his hands through the
glass in a window in an effort to es-
cape. A thorough investigation will
be made by the police.
Mr.. Bennett heard the noises about
the house and telephoned to the police
and the suspicious noises were finally
located in Mr.. Sperry's apartment.
Mr.. Sperry said today that so far as
he can learn the man suffered an at
tack of delirium tremens.

Neuvo Laredo, the Mexican town OPP
posite this city, were the scene of a
battle this forenoon in which 20 Car
ranzists and Is federaIs were killed.
Nearly so soldiers were wounded.
The Carranzists retreated to the
hills south of Nuevo Laredo, where
they appeared to be preparing for a
fresh assault
The street battle continued for an
hour and a half.
No harm to Americans from bull
let's flying across the border was re-
ported. Col. Brewer, commanding the
14th United States cavalry, on patrol
duty here, sent word early in the day
that there must be no firing in a d1-

points.

dc. The first sight that greeted them
was a rush of refugees across the
bridge between here and Nuevo Lare-

Men and women carrying their chill

wagon traffic. Numerous officials OF
Nuevo Laredo were among the refu-
gees. The officers carried books and
records by the armfuI
The Carranzists at o'clock this
morning arrived within four miles of
Nuevo Laredo and opened a light rifle
fire. Under the cover of darkness
they. advanced cautiously until they
were within the city limits. They
rushed into a lard factory, barricaded
the windows and constructed en-
trenchments for skirmish lines with
the aid of outlying fences and sheds.
At $50 their rifles awoke the twin
cities with a sudden fusilade. This
was followed by an hours silence.
Then the firing was resumed for a
few minutes, only to be succeeded by
another silence. About 8 o'clock the
rebels fell back from the lard fac
tory under a hot federal fire, and re-
treated slowly, pushed hard by gov
eminent troops.

Young folks apparel
is notably good.

Clear and true, there rings
out in the styles Of this season
a note which is especially
pleaing to young folks.
The Balkan effects, different
from anything of late and full
of youth, appeal strongly to
them. The bright colors which
are associated with those
styles,ar especially attractive
to young folks. The entire as
sembly of spring fashions
seems to almost have been
planned just for folks who are
young either in fact or in ideas.
Here are suits. Note their
cheerful young atmosphere.
See how they are frightened
by bit of color. See how their
lines are those of youth. Even
when coIors are quiet, They
still are youthful in line And
especially is this true of the
suits made for young folks
particularly.
