REBEL GENERAL SHOOTS OFFICERS
to Their Wives-lndignation at El Paso.

EEL PASO, Tex, Nov. 17.-Gener. al Pancho-Villa, who captured Jul arez, has already had shot many of ficers of the federal garrison, which
 was forced to surrender to him last
 Saturday. The men are taken out and lined against stone wall and
 shot in squads. Already he has had
 fifty officers shot and the balance
 will meet the same fate. The rebel leader refused the men a last fare well with their wives and children, and also refused the pleadings of the fearful women. who tried to save the
 men from their fate.
 The work of shooting the officers started early Saturday morning and
 has continued since that time inter-
 mittently. The work of murder is
 going on yet today and General Vil- la still refuses the men an opportun-
 ity to say final farewells to their
 families.
 Two officers were shot today at the brink of the newly dug. grave, in which. they were afterwards bur jed, while the only consolation the wives of the officers had was the privilege of seeing their husbands shot and tumbled into the graves. Indignation at tine action of the
 rebels is general here and it is be-
 lieved that should General Villa in
 advertently cross the border he will be shot like 3 dog by the refugee Mexincans or hct-headed Texans. who pronounce him a wanton mur- derer
 Should the fortunes of war ever place General Villa in the hands of the federal troops his end will be
 quick.

The vitality Of the patient is con-

tenacity remarkable in a man of his
years. and the doctors admit it is diff
ficult to make any thing like accurate
forecasts.
The Italian government today
showed it's anxiety by making di.
rect demand for a true statement of
the pope's condition. The physicians
frankly said that it was impossible
to tell with certainty what the next

impossible. they said, for the pontiff' s
rugged constitution to Withstand the
present stage of the acute bronchial
affection, but even at best, his system
is bound to be so weakened that his
death will be constant possibility.

Tom Merritt viii be Charged by
County Attorney McManus With
Murder Of Jerry Har-
rington.
AUTOPSY TO BE HELD
AssaiIant of Harrington is Re-arrested
Last Night When Serious Con-
dition of Harrington
is Known.

The death of Jerry Harrington this
morning caused County Attorney E.
w. McManus to start an investigation
which will probably result in the III
ing of an information charging Tom
Merritt, negro, with murder.
When Chief OF Police Kenney heard
last night that Harrington's condition
was grave, he telephoned to the sta
tion to instruct his men to re-arrest
the negro. It happened that Merritt
was in the station talking to some of
the officers when the chief telephoned
and he was locked up without further
delay.
The injury, which resulted In the
death OF Harrington, occurred on the
evening of April LIST. at the corner of
Third and Main streets. 1t is said
that Harrington had been drinking
heavily and when Merritt, who is an
ex-convict, came into the saloon Har-
rington began abusing him. This Is
according to the story told by Mer-
rift on the morning after the AFFAIR.
He declares that when he went out
on the side walk, Harrington follow.
ed him and had his hand in his pocket
and Merritt thought he was going tC
shoot, as he was threatening him al
the time. When he started toward
| the negro, Merritt swung the bucket
! of beer. which he was carrying ant
struck him on the left side of the face
badly cutting him around the face
/ and knocking him down.
| When Harrington fell, his heat
struck the cement sidewalk with ter
rife force. and it is said that thi
was the injury which caused his dealt
| after three weeks Of suffering. Mer
/ rift gave himself up to the police OF
/ the same evening but was later re
i leased, but when the victim Of hi
wrath began to sink, he was agai
locked up. The first of this weet
when 1t was reported that Harringto
was getting better, he was again r.
leased, but will now be held to avail
{; the action of the grand jury.
1 Coroner Korschgen viewed the RI
mains this morning and has ordere
Drs. H. A. Gray and w. w Holme
i to hold an autopsy this afternoon an
ascertain the exact cause OF death.
