OF Gen. Trucy Aubert to get to the city
of Torreon in time to relieve it-a mission
upon which he set out from Saltillo near
u month ago with a large force of fed
eral troops-is explained by the fact that
the greater part of his 1900 men desert
ed him before he had completed half of
his journey. He had reached Madero,
twenty-five miles east of Torreon, when
news of the evacuation of the city reached
him. AS soon as the vanguard of the
retreating federal troops came into view
Gen. Aubert's men fled with all their
arms and ammunition-
The report that Gen. Aubert had gone
over to the rebels is not substantiated.
He is said today to be at Hipolito. fifty
miles west of Saltillo, to which point. he
retreated with the men who had evacu-
ated Torreon under Gems. lgnaclo Bravo,
Munguia and kscudero.

Concerning Warts.

Strange beliefs relating to warts are
by no means confined to the young and
illiterate. They are sometimes found
among persons Of mature age and high
intelligence.
The noted German physician, Gen
ewein, recorded a case in which the
cutting off Of single wart from a
patients hand was speedily followed
by the disappearance Of all the warts
on his other hand. The same au-
thority mentions another case in
which the removal of a wart from a
patients hand was followed by the dis
appearance of one from his chin.
In country neighborhood the boy
who is without his special wart cure
is an object Of pity. One way to re-
move wart is to rub it with a bit OF
stolen bacon. Another was to persuade
friend to count the warts and third
was to rub them with a cent piece and
cast the coin into a pond.
