One of the widest wind storms
which has visited Abilene in a num-
ber Of years swept through last night
at $3.50 at q gait of SO miles per
hour. Only for a few minutes did
the storm hold sway but during that
time 1t played havoc with the Par
ker playhouse and many barns and
outbuildings in the city.
All day the wind blew terrific
gale. Shortly after o'clock red
sand cloud appeared in the west and
shortly before $50 the storm broke
over Abilene.
The eastern part Of the city suf-
fered the worst from the effect OF
the wind. The Parker playhouse
was a total wreck after the WIND
had done it's work there. The
heighth of the building helped the
wind to catch It full breast and the
whole structure was crushed. The
chimney was blown off the Frank
Jeffcoat house on South Enterprise

in. Three trees we're blown down

the first time in six years that the
property had been left unmatched.

TERRIFIC BAT TIE WON
By REBELS BEFORE THE
CITY 0FlJUAREZ, MEX.


infantry at Fort Douglas was ordered
to Ell Paso to patrol the city and per
nit the cavalry to patrol the interna-
tional border. This order is the result
of dispatch to the war department.
at Washington from General Bliss COM
manding the border forces.
Ell Paso, Nov. 26-After thirty hours
of fighting and the death of hundreds
on both sides, the rebel captors of
Juarez have driven back the federal
assault and will hold the border city.
In the words Of Villa, "the federals
are in full and shameles:s retreat over
the hills" the federal trains, field
pieces and hundreds of prisoners be-
ing in Villas possession.
Villa declared that sufficient rebel
force is now beseiging Chihuahua to
prevent the retreating federals from
making their way back to the state
capital IF Villa captured all their
trains, federals are left without food
or means Of transportation in the des-
ert 200 miles from their base of sup
plies.
As the result of information thar
nearly 1000 federal wounded were 1y-
ing on the battlefield stripped of their
outer clothing, local Huerta sympath-
izers are appealing for funds to equip
hospital squads to go to the front.
The funds were solicited to send sur
geons, nurses and hospital supplies.
Ell Paso, Nov.26----M More than 1000
wounded and 700 federal prisoners
were brought into Juarez and Ell Paso
aboard special train from, Hira
Blancha. All the hospitals and hotels
were crowded with wounded. The fight
was the biggest and most stubbornly
fought battle recorded on the North
American continent since the close of
the civil war.
It was victory for the Mardeistas,
as General Villa is the only original
constitutionalist in the state of Chi
hua hua. He has consistently fought
for the principles of Francisco I. Ma
dero since the Madero uprising in
1910.
NEARLY all the federal generals
whom Villa defeated in the last two
days of fighting have at various times
fought under the constitutionalist
flag, but deserted the cause and cast
their lot with Huerta. It is generally
believed the federals will make no at
tempt to re-organize their disabled
forces.
The constitutionalist officers are
loud in praise Of the brilliant work Of
General Caraveo, the last federal COM
mander to withdraw from the battle
at South Juarez. Although greatly
outnumbered, Caraveo kept up an in
cessant fire on the rebel right wing
and tried repeated charges in the hope
Of bending the line. Until 9 o'clock
Tuesday night Caraveo continued
hammering the rebel entrenchments.
Jose Ynez Salazar, a federal officer,
was captured and the rebels are
bringing him to Juarez, where it is
expected he will be executed.

es emenating from Bismarck with ref
erence to the conviction and sentence
of William McBain, aged 20, who was
separated from his 16-year.old wife,
and brought into court to face the
charge of performing an illegal oper-
alton on her, are declared here to BE-
somewhat overdrawn.
Judge Coffey, who sentenced McBain
to one year in prison, made the sug-
gestion to States Attorney Whipple of
Wells county that the boy be paroled
but the prosecuting official contended
that the prison sentence should be car
ried out. =1e
The alleged misdeed charged against
young McBain occurred several weeks
before the couple were married, their
marriage occurring at Crookston last
month. They had been welded three
weeks when the officials took them in
charge.
After the sentence of young McBain
the girl was ordered deported to Can
ada, but it is understood that she is
now in Fessenden, where the original
arrest was made.
Recommendations Of local court

upon the willingness of the young
couple to live together. If they 50 de-
