began to hang heavily on the vet
Grams In a spirit Of fun Joe A.
Bartles suggested that he and some
Dewey boys could rope some steers in
tho vacant square in the center of
Dewey, to entertain his fathers
guests. The following year a purse
was given for n contest between the
Cherokee and Delaware boys, l2 men
on a side. and the side making the
best average time got the purse. The
following year IL was staged In form.
It was the birthday Of the Roundup.
The next year a few hundred tickets
were sold and from then on II grew
by leaps and bounds. Today the
Roundup is compared with the big

North America and is in advance OF
them all, In the opinion Of the cow

that at the Dewey Roundup they get
the most honest treatment OF any

OJINACA IS NEXT PLACE TO INVITE ATTACK OF REBELS Huerta Leaders Have Fortified Town On Border Against
 Assault. FEDERAL FORCES ARE
 SUPPLIED WITH FOOD Villas Army May Be Forced To Turn Back and Try
 To Wipe Out FederaIs.

Juarez, Mexico, Dec. 10-EVentS to- day indicted that Ojinaga, sometimes called Presidio Del Norte, the small Mexican village on the border or the Presidio, Texas, will be the scene of the next important move in the Mexi- can revolution.
 Rebel leaders were more than eyer eonxfneed that 0 ojinasas whaEe tl5a federal troops have concentrated, cannot be ignored by General Francis co Villa. Within the town are for tified practically all the federal troops of the north with most of their inn portant generals. Their retreat avow- edIy was to obtain money and p<oviS sions because, in the interiori they had been without pay and were on the yerg of famine.
 Re-provisioned and provided with money, the federals would be in po- sition to renew hostiIities.
 Should he determine to attack the federaIs in force, General Villa, now at Chihuahua City, would have to check temporarily his advance south ward toward Torreon but it would he in line with his plan to leave only rebel territory behind in his south ward march.
 The rebel forces about Ojinaga are greatly in excess of the number at first reported. It was said the 1000 Juarez about 10 days ago have de- toured eastward and are now on, the road to Oiinaga.
 The threatened mutiny of the fed erals as was shown by their calling across the river to the American side that they would desert if attacked. is relied upon by the rebels

then 12:30 o'clock No opportunity was given for adjournment then but he jumped into the 1imenght and asked for nominations to be made for l inspector.
 ! It was here the first snag was en- 1 ceuntered, Commissioner Schwerdtle l expressing his approval of a vote by ballot. This did not suit Mayor Will son and he, at once, entered opposi- l tion but no on esupported him and l the balioting started. Mayor Wilson directed the administrators 'tpoli- cies.' the Republican commissioners showing a 1ukewarmness, interpreted to mean a lack of approval of the con templated action against MT. Lynch. Mayor Wilson showed his surprise l and dispIeasure when the result of the balIoting was announced, two votes for MT. Dunbar, one for MT. Lynch and one for Arthur w. Gib- l bons. [. Mayor Wilson was plainly nettled 1 over the miscarriage of plans. He expressed surprise that Commission CT SchwerdtIe was not of the same opinion and expressed surprise that there should be a difference in the Democratic support
 No election was declared by Mayor Wilson and then he brought up the question of e1ecting a clerk The same candidates and same number of votes resulted.
 
 new contract from c. C.. Fischer for the disposal of the city garbage was taken up by the commissioners but nothing was done and it was decided to consider it definitely at the special session this afternoon. Attorney Da- Yid s. Day, counsel for Fischer, en- tered the contract, which calls for the cits sSoayiT.ss $1 a. ton for all garbage delivered at the Asylum street plant The privflegeeais included of dIscon- stinuing the contract upon six months notice or, should the Health Board consider the plant a nuisance, within six days. The contract will not call for the reduction of gar ,bage but simply it's being dried with the reduction elsewhere. There was no action taken on the roo1niney house quest1on on account of other business, there simply being an informal dis cussion and reports made on condi- tions found during past inspections
 Without contest, Miss Anna s. Oar gan was reelected as milk analyst. Election of superintendent of the slaughter house, weigher, matron and caretaker at the Isolation hospital and other officers were continued for the consideration of the incoming board.

TRIES TO ~ EXPLAIN SCHEME

There is no desire to play politics m the board of heaIth,'' said Mayor IWHson today speaking of the attempt made to remove David w. Lynch as inspector of the board. Continuing, he said:
 ''The board of health is one of the most important of city boards, we want to inject new blood and enthu- s1asm into the work of this body, and increase its efficiency. As far as I am able to learn MT. Lynch has ney- CT taken the initiative on afly mat ter pertaining to his work, while nu- merous complaints have reached me regarding the manner in which he discharges his duties. On the other hand MT. Lynch has assumed for himself authority which does not be- long to his office
 think a younger man would be more energetic and discharge the 1.u- ties Of the office of inspector of the board of health in a more sattsfsc- tory manner

WOMAN JUDGED RESPONSIBLE FOR WOMAN'S DEATH Female Driver of Car Is Held
 At Fault For Not
 Observing Law. FAILED TO SLACKEN
 SPEED, SAYS CORONER Nothing In Sight to Prevent MOtOrist From Seeing
 Trolley, Is Report.

New Haven, Dec. 1O-SGrs. Nettie [. Pope. wife of William Pope Of Mil
 ford, is held crininally responsible by
 Coroner Eli Mix for t. death of Adrs.
 Lillian KoLeter at Derby on Dec. Q. | last, the result of being struck by
 an automobile driven by Mrs. Pope.
 The finding of the coroner in the-case was filed today.
 Mrs. RoIIeter was hit by the a17fo- 1 mobile just after stepping from a troI- | ley car and was almost instantly kill ed, her neck being broken. The cor oner finds that Mrs. Pope, who has been operating motor vehicles for about two years was proceeding on
 the left hand side of the highway for the claimed reason that she observed the trolley car at a standstil and there was not sufncient space upon the highway for her to drive to the right; that she also observed deceased get off said car; that, apparently, she did not slacken the speed of the motor vehicle, which was proceeding at an approximate rate of from 12 to IS
 miles an hour, nor did she bring 1t to a stop as required by Section 13, pub lie acts, state of Connecticut, 18O9 wherein it is provided that If the rate of speed of a motor vehicle operated on the public highways of this state in passing any street railway car that is stationary or about to stop on the same side of the car which passengers are ordinarily received or discharged. exceeds three miles an hour, such rate of speed shall be prime facie evidence that the person operating such motor vehicle is operating rfe same at g. rate of speed greater than is reason able and proper and in violation Of the provisions of section TT of thls act
 .ssection l of said act provides that No person shall operate rDcaor vehicle on the public highways of this state reclIlessly or at a rate of speed greater than is reasonable and proper having regard to the width, traffic and condition of the highway or so as tO endanger the property or the life or li1rrb of any person.
 -'I find that, as Nettie l.. Pope turn ed into New Haven avenue, the street on which the accident occurred, which is upgrade at this poins, there were no other vehicles upon said avenue to ob- struct her view or progress other than said trolley car; that she had gone a. distance of about three hundred and sixty feet before striking deceased: that the width of said highway at and in the vicinity of the place where the deceased was struck was IS feet; that no warning signal was given by said driver of said motor vehicle she turned into the highway or as she was approaching said stationary trolley car.
 SCI find that Nettie l.. Pope was operating said motor vehicle in viola ton of said section of said public acts herein quoted; and at the time of said occurrence was operating the same in a careless, reckless and negligent manner; and in so doing she is crimf-- naIIy responsible for the death of EfI- z Han Koneter.

PAVING CONCERN HAD CONTRACTS
 IN BRIDGEPORT
It's Relations With State of Connecticut Investigated
 By Senate.

The Warren Bros. do a large busi- ness in Connecticut. They have re- gently laid large quantities of War renite in Bridgeport. Their relations with the city of Bridgeport were an issue in the last municipal campaign. It was charged that contracts for the Bridgeport work were let without competition, or bidding, and that the price paid for the work was too high.
 The same concern holds large con- tracts with the state of Conecticut. The relations of the company with the state were investigated during the process of an investigation into the administration of the office of the highway commissioner, James H. Mac Donald, The investigation was termin- ated by MT. MacDonald's resignation. A feature of the inquiry was test1- mony relating to an alleged attempt to bribe Senator Hurley of Waterbury. A man claimed to be a representative of Warren Bros. held up three fngers meaning, 1t was claimed, that a sum of money would be paid, but the charge of attempted bribery was not sustained Warren Bros. lay two kinds of patented pavement, one un- der the trade name, bitulithic, and the other under the name Warrenite.

DR, M'LAUGHLIN EXPOSES ATTACK
 ON MIR. LYNCH

pr. William J. Mclaughlin, whose vote on the Board of Health, prevent ed Mayor Wilson from bringing about the removal of Inspector David W Lynch, said this morning: -'rhe mayor is mistaken in attributing poIi- tics to our side of the house. MT. Lynch is one of the most efficient employees the board ever had. He has served under three mayors, has done first class work and is a first class man. There are no charges against him. They simply want 10 give his place to somebody else. for political reasons.
 'tAs to Mayor Wilson's accusation that my vote was against Mir. Lynch because voted for another man, that seems to me to be scarcely a com potent criticism I voted to keep MT. Lynch in office. To keep him in of fee it was necessary to prevent a tie, which the mayor wo6Idy have broken.
 My vote prevented a aSfesfand although not cast directly for MT. Lynch, vas worth more than one vote for him. It was one vote for MT. Lynch raised to the Nth power, so to speak"
