Brown, who is travelling $4,000
miles with his dogs. The bet was
called and J. A. forthwith put on
his seventy-l3ague boots md tax
ing Mark Bodine with him. as a
boon companion he hit the r.1ad 1t
nine O'Clock Tuesday evening.
For this he promised Mark S25.
The reason why John took BOdine
with him is that he is "fraid of
spooks; hence his princely reward
of S25, while he gobbles SIS fCr
the same trick. The two pedes ,
trians were followed in an automo
bile by Itronaizl, who made the
bet, }. J. Rezac and Harry Roose.

VAUK BROS.

William Brown of Nome Alas
ka, stopped in town Tuesday with
his rig for a short rest. Mr..
Brown is travelling on a wager of
$4,000 against his $500 if he
visits every state in the Union and
covers 25, 900 miles. In case he
succeeds he gets the ten thousand
dollars; if he fails he looses $500.
His entire travelling outfit is a
light buggy drawn by large
Newfoundland dog, one genuine
timber wolf and a half blood Wolf.
He is to cover all of this territory
in six years commencing May 5th
1912, at which time he duly had
set out on his journey. He is
followed by man who keeps re-
cord of all the places visited by
him, to make sure that he fulfiIs
every condition of the agreement.
A flock of about fifty wild geese
flew over Tabor Monday noon di-
rectIy north. This may mean
that we shall not have much more
cold weather since the migration
of these birds north is a sort of q
sign to that effect. We did not
have much cold weather this win
ter, and we don't care for any, al
though a little snow would not
be out of the way by no means.
The independent has calendar
samples for the year 1914, and
they are dandies. Merchants who
intend to give their customers cal
endars for the year 1914 will save
money by giving the order to us
rather than to some agent, who
cannot give you the inducements
that we can. Please bear this in
mind. You can order any time
from now to September lst.
A grand ball will be given in
the Sturma hall by Jos. Halla Sa-
turday, january 18th for which
the Vinatieri orchesta, of five
members will furnish music and
has many engagements. A cor
dial invitations is extended to
everyone to attend this dance.

Walked to Sioux City
i'm 19 hours "a minutes.

Following a spirited argument
as to the possibilities and impos-
sihilities in the healthful art of
long distance walking, the local
foot racer, J. A. Matuska made a
bet of 500 with Thomas Kronaizl
that he can walk to Sioux City
within "a hours. This bet no
doubt received its impetus or mo-
mentum, whichever you wish,
from the presence of William

AUSTRALIAN MEAT
May LOWER THE
.. . rOSTOF LMl!MC

San Francisco, Calf, May 15.--Foul
hundred thousand pounds of frozen
Australian beef and mutton, the first
Shipment of it's kind to the Pacific
coast, We're landed here today from
the steamer Tahiti.
The meat was sold in Australia with
tie understanding that only nominal
profit should be made here, If the
agreement is violated, Australia will
ship direct, eliminating the middle
mans profit, and assuming all the
risk.
An immediate fall in prices is ex.
pected. California and the Pacific
coast states eat meat raised west Of
the Rocky mountains and comparative
tables show that the average of prices
is higher than in Chicago.
In an effort to mark down the card,
independent dealers arranged for the
Australian shipment. The Union
Steamship company is SO certain that
the trade will be permanent that it
has placed orders for four refrigerator
ships to be used exclusively on the
Australian-San Francisco run.

0bREG0N DEALS TERRIFIC
BLOW TO FEDERAL ARMY
Which IS DEM0RAL|zED
ING 500 DEAD ON the FIELD AND MUCH AMMUNITION AND SUPPLIES
IN HANDS OF VICTORIOUS STATE TROOPS
ASSAULT ON EMPALME AND ON
GUAYMAS may HAVE BEGUN

Nogales, Ariz., May 15.-~After {
decentralization rout, the remains o
the federal army under General Gil is
believed to have reached Empalme
suburb of Guaymas, If Colonel
Hills insurgents cut off the retreat tC
the south as surmised, they were un-
able to hold back the fleeing federals
! who abandoned much ammunition and
supplies promptly seized by the vic
! torious constitutionalists north Of the
gulf port.
American refugees arriving here
today confirm the report of General
Obregon, the state commander, as
serting that fully 500 of the federals
were killed outright, while only sixty
of the state troops We're killed and
thirteen wounded. This unusual pro-
portion is credited to the disorder in
which the federals retreated.
OF an army originally numbering
$500, only 1900 reached Empalme, re-
port those arriving here from the
front. Below Ortiz, the state troop
base, there is no telegraph operating
and the general confusion so far has
permitted few definite details to
reach the state capital. 1t is assert
ed, however, that the state troops at
once will attack Guaymas and Empal-
me, if already the assault is not in
progress.
AS a reward for his successes,
General Alvaro Obregon has been
named brigadier general of the con-
stitutionalist army. His commission
arrived today directly from Governor
Carranza Of Coahuila, recognized com
mander-in-chief of the revolution
army.
"FIed With Shame.
New York, May 15.-RabGrt Pes
queira. confidential agent here of the
rebellious constitutionalsts in Sono-
ra, Mexico. received today a private
message from an agent at Douglas,
Arizona, contradicting reports of a
government victory in Sonora as con-
tained in dispatches from Mexico !
City last night These dispatches |
placed the rebel loss at 400 after a |
defeat at the hands OF General Me- |
lima Barron.
Today's private message places the
federal loss at 800 and adds that the
troops "fed with shame,
eaving among the dead three col
,nels, two lieutenant colonels and
our majors"
