RESTOCKING WESTERN RANGE
Conditions Along TeIss and
Pacific Railroad in Wss, Tsrss
Permits Restocking

West Texas stockmen are in
fine condition this winter
financially and have taken care
Of their range this year and as a
result they have some splendid
grass in their pastures. good
enough that they are not afraid
TO risk wintering a few thousand
head Of cattle on the grass.
The Fort Worth Record Of a
few days ago gave out the follow
ing news item which bears US
out in our statement above.
Tine ranges in West Texas
are in such splendid condition
this fall that they are all being
restocked. Cattle are worth
more on the range at present
than they are on the market. !"
said a cattleman Yesterday.
Steady shipments have been
made during the past ten days TO
replenish the stock ranches in
West Texas. and last night
ninety-four car loads arrived
over the Katy from Oklahoma
ranches 10 pasture in that terri
tory. a reversal Of previous con-
ditions.
This shipment was forwarded
to its destination over the Texas
h Pacific and followed another
biz shipment Of twenty cars
which reached here yesterday
afternoon. Another big ship
ment to the ranges will be made
Monday.
la another column of this
paper will be found an an
nouncement by the Citizens
National bank TO the effect that
S. X. Pierce has resigned his
position in that bank on account
Of his health. Mr.. Pierce has
made a faithful employe. and the
bank no doubt regrets exceed
ingly that he was compelled to
give up the job. He will be
greatly missed by the patrons Of
the bank and his many friends.
We have not learned what line
Of work he expects to take up.

The MEXICO SITUATION
Many Rumors Afoat-at lines
War Between Mexico and
United States Seems Certain,

deal OF interest manifested IN
the Mexico situation this week.
Tuesday information was
given out through the daily
press that President Wilson had
sent Huerta orders TO step down
and out Of the presidents chair
in Mexico. which was given out
in the following language.
Mexico, City, Nov. 3. Presi-
dent Huerta must resign the
presidency Of Mexico without
loss Of time. and must not leave
az his successor General Aure-
lisno Banquet. his minister Of
war. or any other member OF
his official family or Of an unom-
cial coterie whom he might be
expected 10 control.
This utimatum from Wash
ington on behalf Of the United
States government was convey
ee 10 fIuerta through his private
secretary. Senor Rabago. by
Nelson .O'Shsuonesfy. American
Charge d'Afaires. acting under
instructions from the State
Department.
Senior Rabago presented the
memorandum TO his chief late
Sunday. but up TO this evening
President Huerta had returned
no answer. and as far as could
be learned. had guarded its con
tents from almost all his official
and intimate counsellors.
Those who learned Of the
Washington note regarded Hu-
ertas position az such that he
will be forced TO give one Of two
answers refusal point blank 10
comply with the demand, possi-
bic going so far as to hand the
diplomatic representative his
passports or elimination Of
himself officially
Those who are must intimate
with President Huerita insist
that the latter course would not
be taken for many reasons.

action would be tantamount to
submission to the rebel forces.

the following dispatches
Washington. d. c Nov. A.
The Mexican situation was the
subject Of widespread comment
in Washington TODAY. but the
days developments in official
quarters added little that was
definite or of a tangible nature
concerning the exact status Of
affairs.
Reports from Mexico that a
new and somewhat startling and
somewhat summary move had
been made by the United States
toward the elimination of Huerta. /
brought no response from the /
state department beyond the
brief statement from Secretary /
Bryan that no "ultimatum" had
been presented to the Mexican
authorities in Mexico City.
Whether some other communi-
cation. less drastic than an ul-
timatum had been presented.
Bryan positively declined to
state.
In well informed quarters il is
admitted that negotiations have
been proceeding in pursuance
with Wilson's determination to
secure the elimination Of Huerta

Ida Tomley, buXOm, ruddy-

When the plain clothes men

she met the news with a hard

''All right, Kid" she cried with
a queer, twisted gaiety.
The police sent her over to Sc

robbing the homes of wealthy
folks who have had her for a day
or two as nurse-girl, or house

While in Tacoma the girl Sc

and not be a thief-but he

Then she told of how she had
robbed houses in other cities;
how her Svengali-like master had
forced her to be a criminal.
And he has other girls that

said.
The girl got nothing from the

In the middle of the night Be

JAKEY
FACES
TRIAL

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
BELLINGHAN, Jan. 27.-The
trial of Jacob FNrth, the veteran
Seattle banker, and three asso-
ciate officers of the Seattle Ma
tional bank, was resumed this
morning, Judge Hardin's court
room was taxed to its capacity by
farmers and citizens, many or
whom blame the Seattle man for
their losses in the failure of the
LaConner bank.
Proceedings in the conspiracy
trial of Jacob Furth and three as
sociate bankers of Seattle, were
enlivened today by an hours ar
gument over a legal question, in
which the state was accused or
engaging in a fishing expedi-
ton" and the defense was count
er charged with attempting to
squelch material testimony.
The argument was precipitated
when Witness James Dunlap,
trustee in bankruptcy of the
Schricker bank, was asked by AS
sistant Special Prosecutor Corri-
gan what disposition he was able
to make of the assets in his
hands.
Judge Hardin, while stating he
was inclined to rule with the de-
fense, took the matter under ad-
visement until tomorrow.
F. A. Hill, a mining engineer,
was the first witness. He gave
expert testimony of value of coal
lands in Pennsylvania in which
Schricker had a slight interest,".
Furth seemed much more at
ease today than during the oren-
ing statement Saturday of Prose-
cutor Brawley.
