interests whatever at stake, seem to
want to see America beaten in her
efforts to secure peace for Mexico,
just for the sake of having Uncle
Sam taken down a peg or two.
Still others highly commend the
course adopted by President wilson
and his advisers and sincerely wish
them success The suffragets are

the English government when Eng
lands interests become involved IN
tho Mexican situation.
Within few days the German
armored cruiser Nuremberg will ar
rive in Mexican waters to protect
German interests in the troubled
republic. The kaiser has been keep

tangle and is thoroughly conversant
with every phase of it. Sentiment
is so divided in Berlin that it Is

Archie Bottomley, the eighteen
year old son of Bert Bottomley OF
Nashville, was brutally assaulted in
Winnebago Saturday evening by Ed.
Carney of New York and Harry Nc
Cardel of Chicago.
] The assault occurred in the billiard
! hall. Walter Bottomley was watching
game of pool, when Carney and Nc
Cardel came up to him and asked
him for cigaret When he refused,
Carney struck him with his fist on
| the side of his head, above the ear
Mr.. BOttomley was not looking for
| the blow, and had his head partially
turned from Carney. 1t is supposed
that Bottomley's head struck the wall
with sufficient force to cause concus-
sion of the brain, with which he is
now suffering.
Carney and McCardel had been al
Easton in the afternoon, where they
did considerable drinking, returning
to Winnebago in rather quarrel
some mood. They are young fellows
of about twenty-five years OF age, and
have been employed at the local tile
plant for about three weeks. They
were at once arrested after the as
sault, and were tried before Justice
Harrison Monday morning lon the
charge of being drunk and disOrderly
Carney was given thirty days in the
county Jail, and McCardal drew ten
days in the county bastile. Develop
ments are being waited in Mr.. Bot
tomley's condition, and it is entirely
! probable that more serious charge
will be preferred against the youns
men.
