GEN. VILLA IN MORE TROUBLE
SpaniardS Tell of Robbed All.
tarS and COnfiScatiOn
of Property.
FOREIGNERS ARE DISPLEAsED

FL Paso, Tex, Dec. 15.-Dangers
of serious international complica-
lions are seen in the developments
in Northern Mexico.
Stories of Wholesale looting by
General Francisco Villas rebel army
on its entrance into Chihuahua. of
the despoiing of church treasures.
of the robbery of Spanish priests
and nuns, of the confiscation of
property and demands for exorbitant
sums of money were brought here
to-day with the arrival of AIS citi-
zens of Spain who had been banish-
ed from Mexico by the rebels.
Conditions affecting foreigners
and foreign property in Northern
Mexico at the hands of the rebels be-
came such to-day that an appeal was
sent to General Carranza, recognized
as the head of the revolution, to pre-
vent possible international complica-
tons. General Carranza was asked
Chihuahua City at once.
The representation was made that
in arbitrarily expelling Spaniards
from Mexico and confiscating or
shutting down their property, valued
at more than $5,000,O00, Villa had
acted without sufficient advice. and
that he had incurred the displeasure
of foreign interests in forcibly en-
tering the British Vice Consulate to
arrest Luis Terrazas, Jr., who is be-
ing held for $250,000 ransome.
Complaint also was made to the
United States Government that Ma
rion Letcher, American Consul at
Chihuahua, was denied his usual
right to send code message to the
State Department when he wished to
report the plight of the expelled
Spaniards.
The United States Consul, the
British Vice Consul and the Span
iards therefore sent protests to their
respective Governments.
1t was represented to the foreign
Governments that Villa had ignored
the friendly inquiries of the Consuls
when they sought information as to
the probable fate of Terrazas. who is
a son of one of the richest men in
the republic, and that Villa violated
the rules of international warfare in
refusing protection to Spaniards. His
holding of Terrazas. a Mexican. for
a ransom was described as the act of
a brigand.
Several refugees sent personal
messages to the Spanish Ambassa-
dor at Washington characterizing
the enforced exile as the "barbarous
act of savages," and saying they had
been insulted by Villas troops. Sim
liar messages were sent TO King AL
fonso, of Spain.
The situation resulted in a con-
ference of rebel leaders at Juarez, at
which it was explained that Villa.
being military commander rather
than the head of civil government.
had acted without sufficient advice.
IL was decided that General Carran-
"a should be asked TO start imme-
iiately for Chihuahua. where here
after he might determine the future
policy of the revolution after per-
'onal conference with Villa.

Editor Likes Ludefisk.

The editor and family partook oil
a ludefisk dinner at the beautiful
home of Mr.. and Mrs. A. G. Gunder-
son Sunday. Ludefisk is great
Norwegian dish, but we assure you
that "us Germans" like it just as
we'll as the Norwegians. This is the
second time this writer has eaten
ludefisk, the first time being some
nine or ten years ago, at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. F. Gunderson.-

partake of the dish any oftenel

tite needs fixing. But then they

er Schmitz in going nine years with
out partaking of Ludefisk car
stand it, and still appreciate it a

OSCAR HEUSER A LEADER.
Star Football and Base Ball Player,
Of Spillville, REELECTED Captain
at st. JOseph's College.

The popularity of Oscar Heuser
in st. Joseph's college athletics was
attested to in his reelection as cap
tain of the 1914 football eleven of
the purple and gold at the annual
meeting of the athletic association
and distribution of the sweaters and
letters to the qualified members of
the team.
Heuser has played star game at
half back the past two years. If
there is any doubt as to his return
to st. Joseph's next fall his choice
as leader again in the 1914 CAM
paign should dispell it. The cleo
ton was unanimous. The letter men
who voted in Heuser's reelection
were J. Calvin, O'Brien, Flaharty,
Malby, Cholvin, Mullany, Streiger
Riley, Murphy, Kipp, and Heuser.
Those who had already received
sweaters at st. Joseph's were hon
ored with the letter "J". The 9TH
ers received both sweater and letter.
The officers of the athletic associa-
ton are Rev. Father Collins, presi-
dent, Dan O'Brien, vice-president,
Oscar Heuser, secretary and treas
urer.
Heuser is also reported choice in
the election of a captain for the
basket ball team at st. Joseph's in
the 1913-1914 campaign. He is a
whirlwind at the guard position in
the indoor game and it is not un-
likely that he will come into pos
session of the honors as leader OF
the purple and gold quintette. In
baseball, Heuser captains the ST.
Joseph's college nine. He is crack
southpaw and ranks on top Of the
college pitchers of this state. The
Muscatine club of the Central Asso-
citation claims his services as a pro
fessional twirler, although other
clubs including Dubuque's Three-l
team contested Boyles claim. Heu-
ser's intentions in regard to profess
sional baseball ere unknown. He
was recently awarded to Muscatine
by Secretary Farrell of the national
board of arbitration over the pro.
tests of all other claimants.
