REBELS ROUTED
HUNDREDS FALL IN ONSLAUGHT
ON TAMPIco-BoATs' FIRE
MoWs DOWN ATTACKERS.
Ground Strewn With Bodies-kebels
Take Away All Locomotives and
Rolling Stock.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Vera Cruz.-The attack on Tampico
has failed and the rebel forces have
been forced to withdraw some dis
tance from the city. The lombard
ment by federal gunboats and field
artillery routed the rebels, who left
number of their dead behind. In pos
session of the railroad yards through
out the battle, the rebels, when they
were driven off, remained sufficiently
cool in the face of the furious fire to
take away with them every locomotive
and most of the rolling stock. That
the rebel loss was very great is EN-
phasized by the fact that the buzzards
which inhabit the Mexican coast, and
which for generations have been pro-
tected by law, floated over the battle
fields in numbers so great as to pre-
sent the appearance OF !cw-lying black
clouds.
According to the federal report 800
rebels were killed before they could
get out Of range, and this would mean
many other hundreds wounded left
behind. 1t is regarded as probable
that the relief of Tampico is only
temporary, and that before many days
the rebels will resume the attack in
greater numbers, although the three
days battle has materially cut down
their supply of ammunition. This may
delay operations for a time.

Florence, Italy, Dec. 15.-"Mona
Lisa" Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece
the mysterious disappearance of which
from the Louvre in August, 1911, threw
the art world into CONSERVATION, was
found in Florence on Friday. The man
who stole it was arrested. He is an
Italian.
The famous "Joconde" was found
when the picture was offered by an
Italian resident of Paris to an anti
quarry.
Both the picture and the Italian are
now in custody of the police.
Il stole the picture" said the man,
in order to avenge the thefts which
Napoleon l. committed in Italy"
When the Mona Lisa disappeared
from the galleries of the Louvre vari-
GUS stories were told of it's going. 1t
is not large painting. 1t is painted
on wood, much retouched and the
paint badly cracked, so that little of
Loenardo's original brush work is in
view, although everyone could see the
mysterious smile.
Traces of thieves were followed, and
finally the story decided upon was
that the Mona Lisa, being taken down
and subjected to a cleaning process in
secret chambers OF the Louvre, had
been washed away from the back
ground and ruined beyond repair.
The Mona Lisa"-more properly
known as La Joconde"-is one of the
worlds most famous paintings, and is
regarded as priceless. Leonardo is sup
posed by some to have taken as his
model for the picture Lisa del Giocon-
do, woman of Florence. He worked
on the painting for four years, from
1900 to 1904. 1t was bought for France
by Francis l.
The value of the work can only be
imagined, since all offers to buy it
were refused, among them one report
ed to have been made by the British
government of $5,O00,000.

TO PROTECT AUTOMOBlL
lists AND OTHERS,

With approximately 70 auto.
mobiles now in the county and
the number increasing almost
daily, there is urgent need of
some rigid law enforcement
with respect to the running and
general handling of cars on
the public highways. Unless
something is done to remedy
conditions az they now exist,
one of these days-as certain as
anything can be-this county
will be stunned by the news of
Il frightful automobile accident.
We have too many raw hands
and beginners at the business
who develop the speed mania
about as fast as a child will de-
yelop a case of measles. Most
of our roads are narrow and
crooked. Nobody pays any at
tention to the speed of auto
mobiles-unless they happen to
be in the way and are franti
cally trying to get in the clear.
There are no signs posted along
the roads announcing curves
and railroad crossings. No
posted stipulations appear any
where along the roads as to
how fast a machine may run,
aud the man at the wheel may
literally fly off the earth if he
wants to. He may kill himself
and his passengers if mere
chance dosen't save the day,
and that is the end of it.
OF course this is not an un-
precedented state of affairs.
They exist ineyery county and
community where new roads
are being built rapidly aud
here is a ready influx of auto.

election is assured, Virginia be-
