considered the compensation re-
ceived was fairly satisfactory.

Prineville much of the loss in
shrinkage can be saved the

AGED MAN TAKEN
BACK TO OKLAHOMA
Sheriff Cornell, Of Hugo Comes Here

en- contained about 5000 of fine
watches, bracelets rings and such.
1t was not until Sheriff r. NJ. Con-
nell, of Choctaw county, came here

talk with Hunter, the latter admit
ted that he was the right man and also
admitted that he was on speaking
terms with lot of bad men in that
state. 1t is believed that he will be

DOG LED SEARCHERS
TO PRIESTS BODY
Father VelOsQuez Had Been Missing
With NIUE Companions Since
Last Saturday.

Mobile, Ala, Nov 17.-Guarded by
small dog, Father Velasquez, one
of the professors at the Monastery
at Rosarville, La, was found dead to-
day in the woods near the iastitu-
ton. He had been missing since
Saturday, Another large dog led
the searching party to the place
where the eminent priest was found.
His death is attributed to heart fail
ure. Father Velasquez had formerly
been stationed at Manila, where he
had been in charge of the University
at that place. The two dogs had be-
come fast friends of the priest and
they also were missing until 4
o'clock when Nero, the largest dog,
came to the Monastry and appeared
to be agitated. The dog appeared
anxious to go to the woods and when
followed, led several of the priests
to within short distance of where
the dead priest lay. Father Velas-
quez was So years old.

POLICEMAN'S BALL,
A BIG SUCCESS
Grand March Led BY Mayor Bloom.
Excellent Dance Program
Was Furnished.

With the members of the Police De-
partmeat wearing beaming faces and
also the new uniforms purchased,
the first annual ball, given ,ast night
at the Bluff City Club proved to he
one OF the most enjoyable affairs that
has taken place in Pine Bluff in quite
time. At the first Chief of Police
}. Frank Stewart announced to those
present that there would be nothing
doing when it came to the bunny
hug, turkey trot or grizzly bear. and
that only dances in which the feet
are used were to be in order. This
Quoted whatever eccentric dancing
spirit there may have been, but there
was all the better time because of
the fact that the dances were car
ried out in a seemly manner and so
as to not have any electric shocks
carried with them.
The ball was gotten up for the
purpose of supplying the members
OF the Police Department with uni
forms and it met these requirements
in splendid manner. From the
first when the ball was faun, red as
an affair much interest was dis
played and the officers succeeded in
disposing of large number of
tickets.
The music for the occasion was
rendered by seinert's orchestra and
the dance numbers were plentiful,
sufficient to give all an opportunity
to trip the light fantastic over the
smooth floor. AS the opening of the
ball there was a grand march led off
by Mayor Simon Bloom and Mrs.
Bloom. The various dances were
dedicated to the civic, and CONNER
cial institutions of Pine Bluff, to the
public officials and press.
When the count was taken of the
visitors to the ball, the members of
the Police Department were agreeab-
ly surprised. It had been known that
there would be a heavy attendance,
but there were no fond hopes that
it would reach such numbers as came
out.

RESIGNING FROM
HUERTA CABINET
Moheno Will Quit Today
and Lozano Also Expect
ed To Get Out.
ARMY READY
lIuerta Asks How Many Men Can
BE In the Field by Noycm-
Der 20.

Mexico City, Nov. 1S.-The an
nouncement is made tonight that
foreign Minister Moheno will almost
certainly quit Huertas cabinet to-
morrow and if not then, before the
end of the week. 1t is also prob
ably that Minister Lonzano will leave
the cabinet.
Moheno has been very unpopular
with the diplomatic corps and much
pressure has been brought TO COM
pei the government to get rid of him.
The German minister denies that
he took any official action yester-
day. He says that he talked about
the general situation in Mexico with
members of the German colony. but
this he does very often and the con-
versation of yesterday was not of
an unusual nature. The situation
here is considered so dangerous that
the Germans have prepared for de-
tense in case of a violent outbreak,
and antiforeign demonstration.
The English colonies have been
considering a step Of the same kind,
but nothing of an active nature has
been done yet. The American colony
has taken no action whatsoever look
ing to their protection in case of
trouble.
Nearly all the rifles and ammuni-
ton sent here eight months ago and
distributed to the American colony
have been scattered. many now being
in possession of the Mexicans. The
Mexicans. The Americans sold them
when they left The country.
Many forced loans to the Govern
ment are being reported from various
points. One in Monterey is said to
amount to a $1,500,000 pesos, and
foreigners as we'll as native Mexicans
have been called upon to subscribe to
it. 1t is said that Harold Walker,
the representative here OF the Dohe1y
Oil Co., left here because he had peen
askd to loan 100000 pesos to the
Government. We. :. =.
Huerta through his War Depart
ment today sent an order to the gov
errors of all the states OF Mexico
requiring them to report to him i'm
mediately just HON many volunteers,
the troops and armed men OF all
kinds they can put in the field by
November 20.
The Government is getting very
short of ammunition. 1t has been
impossible to get new supply ana
none is being manufactured here.
It is expected however, that some
will be brought from Japan together
with 10000 rifles within short time.
