Deputies Remain Under Arrest

Washington, October 12r-Dispatches to
the state department tonight reported
about 80 Mexican deputies still under ar
rest. Originally 1t was reported that 10
were arrested. and In view OF the state
nient of Manuel Cara Aldape, minister
of interior that mot one of the deputies
had been released 1t is presumed here
that not all of the ITO finally We're i'm
prisoned after the episode at the Mexican
Chamber of Deputies on Friday.
Throughout the day messages came to
the state department describing the stu
alton in the Mexican capital as quiet, but
ffaught with all sorts of possibilities.
There were no predictions Of what would
result from the arrest of the deputies,
but attention was drawn to the approach
ing returning Of Felix Diaz, en- route
homeward, as likely to have some effect
on the situation. Some of the imprisoned
deputies were close friends OF Diaz and
his influence may be brought to bear
to obtain their release.

Detective Hugh Tully was probably the
best known man on the local police force.
He was brave to a degree of reclSlessness.
1t was his impetuous rush last night that
cost him his life. He was the
most respected man on the force and
always had a kind word for everyone
He was a quiet sort of a man, but very
humorous and always the life of any
company he found himself in. The news
that he was fatally shot caused tears to
flow freely from all the officers who
heard the news. His wife was not notified
of the shooting of her husband He had
only been married about eight months.

evacuation of Toreon to the incapacity Of

Several Spaniards,' says the telegram.
have arrived here from Torreon. They
admit that the retreat of the federals
was due to the inaptitude of their leaders.
The authorities had more than sufficient
resources to defend the city for long
time. They believe that the situation Is
not desperate and that the government
can recover control of the whole region
with the elements which are now concen-
trated at Hipolito Ito the eastward of
Torreon) and which 1t is about to send
there"
A witness of the engagement In which
General Alvirez was. killed and his force
anihilated, says that only three persons
escaped. These were captain, SER
geant and private General Alvirez
started out from Torreon with 400 men
and a battery of artillery. General Argu-
medo followed a short distance behind
with 200 men.
When Alvirez was ambushed by 1000
rebels under Gen. Francisco Villa, a
forme Handit known as "Panco," the
rebels lred in between him and Argu-
medo, separating the federal forces.
General Alvrez saw himself hopelessly
surrounded and his men being shot down
on all sides. When only a half dozen
men were left the federal commander
broke his sword sat on his horse and
waited until the rebel bullets put an end
to his life.
Villa came along shortly afterward.
He caught sight Of the body of General
Alvirez and ordered his men to take it
into Torreon. There 1t was suspended
from a telegraph pole In a. conspicuous
place in the center OF the city.

BREATHE HYOMEI
FOR CATARRH
Health Comes From Knowing
How and What to Breathe.

Hardly day passes without confir-
nation of the old adage, Mans life
is but breath of air"
Dust laden with disease breeding
germs is inhaled by all who use the
streets, but disease is not developed
unless the germs find conditions suit
able for their Judgement and growth.
With people having catarrh there is
an ideal culture medium for these
germs. The irritated membrane and
weakened tissues is a hotbed where
germs thrive and multiply.
If you have catarrh or any trouble
OF the breathing organs causing stop
ped-up head, sniffles or morning chok-
ing, you should use the easiest, SIM
plest and quickest remedy, the direct
method of Hyomei. This wonderful
medication is taken in with the air
you breathe, directly following and
destroying all germs that have been
inhaled, repairing any damage they
may have worked and so healing and
vitalizing the tissues as to render ca
tarrh and germ infection no longer
possible.
The unusual way in which drug
glsts sell Hyomei should dispel all
doubt as to its curative properties
The Thomas Drug company offers to
refund the price to anyone whom it
fails to benefit. You do not risk a
cent in testing the healing virtues
Of this breath of life Complete out
