election and then eliminate himself
from the scheme of government, per-

that he has persuaded the national
bank and the bank Of London and
Mexico to meet the December diyi-

will bring another fiscal crisis upon
the government, more stringent than
ever before. Huerta has vainly call
ed on the banks of the republic to
come to his aid and rich Mexicans
have turned deaf ears to his pleas for
financial support
The rebel victories of the past ten
days in the north and cas-, have be-
come known to the people, despite a
rigid press censorship. This has gone
far to diminish Huerta's military
prestige. War department denies the

VILLAS FORCES
MOVING SOUTH
Preparing to Engage the Com
bined Federal Forces in
Another Desperate
Battle.

[United Press Leased Wire Service.1
Ell. PASO, Texas, Nov. 2s.--Seven
thousand Mexican rebel troops, al
most the full strength OF General
Pancho Villa are moving slowly south
ward tonight below Juarez, preparing
to engage the combined federal forces
in another desperate battle for the
control OF Chihuahua state
Where and when the battle will
take place is probQematical.
Before he left with his troops,
Villa expressed the opinion that the
federals might elect to make stand
at point between Villa Ahumada
and Chihuahua City, about 100 miles
south of Juarez.
The general impression here to-
night was that the federals would
prefer to continue their retreat to
Chihuahua City itself, which is their
stronghold and where they are report
ed to have an abundance OF supplies
and ammunition. 1t Will be more
difficult to inflict a decisive blow
upon them at Chihuahua than it
would should they engage Villa In
the open country, observers say.
Should the federal commanders de-
eide to fight below Villa Ahumada II
is expected the two forces would
clash tomorrow or Monday. Early
tonight no word had come from villa
and nothing definite is known Of the
situation below Juarez. Constitution
alist soldiers are supremely confident
as a result Of their recent brilliant
victory and anticipate no difficulty in
! sweeping the enemy away and cap
turing Chihuahua City. They have
3plenty of ammunition and big guns
which they expect to use to effect
/ the coming conflict.

Contractors do not Want job
of Making the Fills
After Advertising for Some
Time Committee Fails to.
Receive Any Bids.

In all probability Bayfield, county
will have to build the approaches to
the long bridge at the head of the
bay. This is because contractors do
not want TO tackle the job and it looks
as though the county will have to
undertake the work if it is to be done
at all.
C.. H. Werden, Patrick sGalligan
and George Curry, members of the
special road and bridge committee,
were in the city the first of the week
for the purpose of opening bids on
the work but no bids were re-
ceived and no bidders were present.
For some time the committee has
been advertising for bids in the
different papers of the Northwest but
no bids have been submitted.
The work includes the building of
of the approaches to the new bridge
to be built at the head of the bay
and the fills along the road in that
section. 1t is estimated that the
work will cost between five and seven
thousand dollars.
The committee is now figuring on
doing the work and it is likely that
the same will be started this fall and
completed in the spring. 1t has been
rather difficult to secure men and
teams and it is for this reason that
bidders have not wanted the job.

A Narrow Escape.

What came near being a seri-
Gus runaway accident occurred
at the corner of Washington
avenue and Bayfield, street Tues
day afternoon when a horse
driven by Gunder Olson collided
with a horse driven by Mrs.
Urbom, demolishing the Urbom
wagon and throwing Mrs. Urbom
to the ground. Mrs. Urbom
was quite badly injured by the
fall and she was also bruised
when the rear wheel of the
wagon passed over her body.
Dozens of people along the
street witnessed the accident
and many willing hands assisted
Mrs. Urbom into the Lien store
where she was attended by a
physician.
The horse driven by Mr..
Olson was high spirited animal
which became frightened at an
automobile On lower Bayfield,
street. Mr.. Olson was in the
rig at the time but was unable
to control the animal in it's mad
dash up the street. Mrs. Urbom
had just been into the Berman
store and had returned to her
wagon and was about to make
the turn on Bayfield, street when
the Olson horse came along.
She endeavored to get her horse
out of the way and from those
who witnessed the accident it
looked as if the Olson horse had
plenty of room to either get by
up Bayfield, street or turn up
Washington avenue but just at
the junction of the avenue and
the street the horse swung
around striking the rear of the
Urbom rig. Overturning it. The
Olson horse fell down when it
hit the wagon but got up
Immediately.
Without inquiring as what
injuries the lady had received
Mr.. Olson continued driving up
the street and returned again
without even stopping to inquire
what damage had been done

Another Mail Route Needed

An agitation should be started
by the residents of this city for
an other mail route running out
of Washburn. At the present
time the mail route running out
of this city extends over a dis
tance of twenty.six miles and
the business is steadily growing.
BY cutting down the present
route in milage and taking some
of this territory and taking in
additional territory another route
could be established. Unless
the citizens do something toward
getting this route established
the Ashland people may get an.
other route running out of that
city that will take in territory
that rightfully belongs to the
Washburn post Office. This
was done a year ago when the
third route was established out
of Ashland and taking in terri
tory down around the region of
Nash. Washburn might have
had this territory in a second
route if the people here had been
alive and had gone after it.
The time is now ripe to ask
for anather route running out OF
this city. There is much terri.
tory that is not now covered by
the present route and with two
routes this territory could be
covered.
