ton. still he lives in a bath tub.
This developed in police court when
Grizzly was brought before Judge
Farabaugh for the fourth time this
year. on a charge OF stealing blankets
from a IN the park. He

1000 federals had ~retreated to the

hundreds OF civilians. including wo-
men and children who were on the
verge Of starvation had started out TO
walk to the United States border.
Besides being the capital OF the
state. Chihuahua with a population
normally Of $4,000 is the metropolis
of northern Mexico. Neither in the
Madero revolution nor in the present
uprising has Chihuahua been taken
from the federals. Its garrison and
the commanding positions for sharp
shooters and machine guns, afforded
by the cathedral and public buildings
heretofore had presented a formidable
barrier to invaders. Had the rebels
reached the city and the federals re-
sisted it was believed a fight in the
city would have resulted in great loss
of life and property.
Conditions in the city were said TO
be such that life was no longer en-
durable there.
Viaduct Destroyed.
The Spanish viaduct was said to
have been destroyed and the food sup
ply exhausted. Gen. Villa Monday
n'~ht telegraphed the details of the
evacuation TO Gen. Carranza at Her
ImOsillo, stating the proposed advance
of the rebels southwark to Mexico
City would not be expedited. The pos
session Of the city, he said, would
make rebel territory of the country
straight through to Zacatetas, and
operations would begin at that city
and at Aguas Calientes.
Gen. Villa said Federico Moye, a
prominent merchant has been named
civil governor CT Chihuahua state, his
selection being based on the belief
that he would be acceptable TO the
rebels.
The report Of the capitulation of
Chihuahua is authentic said Villa.

which said the city was evacuated on

City within a month"
Five thousand dollars worth Of pro-
visions and clothing and 500. 600
from the Banco of Minero were con-
fiscated in Juarez by Villa to support
the rebels. The storekeepers, most
of them Spanish, appealed to United
States Consul Edwards and later
closed their shops and handed over
the keys to the consul.

Mr.. Imam told the jury how DR..

quainted with DR.. Craig as a lecturer
at the State Veterinary college. how
that acquaintance had resulted in a
friendship which those who knew
them expected TO result in marriage.
There will be no direct proof OF an.
engagement between DR.. Craig and
DR.. Knabe. but circumstances will be
overwhelming in that direction" he
declared.

garment had been washed.
Persons who had heard screams
emanating from the doctors apart

said, that DR.. Craig had been in the

preceding the wOman's death and one
would identify him as the man he saw
coming out of the areaway of the
house about two hours before DR..
Knabe was supposed to have died.
DR.. Craig's actions on the day the
body was found excited suspicion, he
said. and witnesses would tell Of

PAUE'S BIG DEAL
Wins Fortune and a Bride
Through Well Timed SpecuIa-

By GEORGE ELMER COBB.

Get out and stay Quit" yelled old
Peter Griscom, irate and aggressive
And never come back again!" he
yelled additionally after his manager
that had been, but was never to be
again.
Paul Burton took it all quietly and
sNithout resentment. It was a rude
dismissal. but he was used to the old
fellows furious ways.
Z am sorry, Mr. Griscom," he said
simply. Certainly, however, have
not exceeded my instructions"
Exceeded" shouted Griscom-
why, you've acted like an idiot Here
I leave you. on the first vacation of my
life for two weeks. 1 come back to
find that during my absence, for the
first time in six years, wheat jumps
up to so. You knew that 1 had forty
thousand bushels in the elevator,
bought at So. Think of it, Sixty
eight hundred dollars profit And you
sat by like a stoughton bottle, and let
the golden chance of lifetime go by.
Here wheat has dropped to 60, and
may go lower Oh, I'd like to fight
somebody"
You left no orders to sell, sir" re-
minded Paul
Il won't talk about it. Get out.
Stay Quit" and old Griscom slammed
the door of his office, and Paul Burton
went his way.
IF it wasn't for Edna" said the
young man to himself, this would be
almost amusing"
Yes, Edna was an element to con-
slider. She had been away with her
father On his vacation, and more than
once PauFs heart had hungered for a
sight of her bonny face. Now a fare

One day Paul went to Easton- He

How much?'' inquired the old man,
ungraciOusly and suspiciously-
Because you fancy my being a

This old Griscom would not believe.
but he was so delighted at his bar
gain that he actually invited Paul to
dinner. That meant a sight of pretty

night he felt happy. He had regained
old Griscom's good will and Edna had
been more than friendly.

J.ke advantage of the widest grain

Dropping off the train at Easton one
day, Paul met with most gracious
reception from old Griscom.

You got pretty good price for 1t,
as It was" reminded Paul.
That's So" agreed Griscom. See
here, Mr.. Burton, 1 was rather hasty
when 1 let you go. I suppose you are
too well fixed now to think of coming

Paul thought of Edna, and silently

"Ae partner. of course" explained
Griscom.
"WeI, Mr. Griscom." replied Paul
