LOVE FOR MELONS
PROVED HIS UNDOING
Will Howard Caught in Neighbor's S
Patch and Stops Contents of a
Double -Barreled Shotgun

A fondness for his neighbor's water
melons got viii Howard, colored, into
trouble yesterday and incidentally
about $50 small shots got into him,
for Willis Marcus, also colored and
owner of melons aforesaid, caught
Howard and emptied the contents of
double -barreled shotgun into the rear
anatomy of the said VIII Howard.
Marcus claimed to the police authori-
ties that for several night past large
and luscious millions had been dis
appearing with alarming regularity
from his melon patch located in West
Sayreton. He decided that there was
a cause for this, and last night after
loading his shotgun with small shot
he lay down in the shadow of the fence
and watched for the midnight ma
rauder
Pretty soon he could discern fig
ure moving with familiar steps through
the patch and after tapping quite a
number of the oblong fruit the in
truder secured one of the largest in
the bunch and started towards the
fence, where Marcus lay in waiting.
Just as the melon loving negro got
on top of the fence Marcus fired both
barrels of the shotgun with deadly aim
at the anatomy of the despoiler of the
patch, who gave a ell that aroused the
police at East Thomas and fell to
the ground perfectly perforated with
the small SHOT from the shotgun.
On investigation it was discovered
that the would-be thief was a neigh
Dor named Howard, and he was
promptly placed under arrest and taken
to the Hillman hospital. While the re-
covery of VIII Howard is expected he
is painfully wounded, and at a late
hour last night the surgeons had To-
Gated and abstracted about 200 small
shots that were firmly imbedded in
the cuticule of Howard.
Marcus gave himself up to the po-
lice authorities and declares that o /,
investigation he will be exonerated
of the charge.

MISSIONARIES IN
MEXICO IN PERIL

Anderson, S. c., August At is re-
ported here on what appears to be good
authority that Secretary of State Bryan
has sent telegram marked confidential"
to DR. F. Y. Presley, secretary of the
board of missions of the Associated Re-
formed Presbyterian synod, Suggesting
that he order all missionaries of that
church out of Mexico at once. 1t is said
the message indicates that the state de-
partment feels American missionaries in
Mexico are in peril.
Wyatt Aiken, representative in Congress
from South Carolina, wired the following
this afternoon to the Anderson Mail:
1.-THE United States consulate at San
Luis Potosi, Mexico, has notified the for
eign missionaries headquarters of the
different churches in the United States
responsible for missionaries in that sec
ton that they had better make provision
to get the women and children out of
Mexico as early-as possible, as it is un-
safe for them to remain there on account
of the activity of several thousand armed
rebels and guerrilas. The state depart
ment will be glad to transmit any mes
sages to San Luis Potosi for parties in
terested. What the Secretary of State
has wired to the heads of the Associated
Reformed Presbyterian church is not for
publication"

HEAVY FIRING
ABOVE GUAYMAS

Nogales, Ariz., August 4.-Heavy firing
at the front above Guaymas was reported
tonight in a message from General Al
varado's insurgent forces. The state troops
were said to have been attempting to
draw the federals out of Guaymas and
to have taken the outlying towns of
Empalme and San Jose de Guaymas.
. Genral Alvarads reported that the fed
eral outposts withdrew to Ell Tunnel, where
the waterworks supplying Guaymas are
located. Cannonading took place early
today, he said, when the federal gunboats
in Guaymas harbor and the federal bat
teries at Empalme opened fire on the ad-
vancing state troops
The occupation of Empalme by the in
surgents, as reported, would put the op-
posing forces in relatively the same posi-
tion as before the state withdrew its
forces from Guaymas suburbs.

HUERTA WILL NOT
SANCTION PLAN

Mexico City, August President
Huerta today told the members of the
Chamber of Deputies who initiated the
plan for treating with the rebels in
an endeavor to bring about peace that
he would not sanction the proposed
plan and that if the deputies desired
to intervene with the rebels they must
do so in their private capacity.
According TO an official report re-
ceived here the government troops
have checked the rebel advance on
Guaymus Rebel trains advancing on
Empalme, an important approach to
Guaymus, were forced to retire owing
to shells from battleship in the
Gulf of California and land batteries
The rebel aviator Didier Mason, flew
over Guaymus during the action, and
was under fire, but escaped unscathed
Bombs dropped from the aeroplane did
no damage.
The rebels south of Torreon, near
Pedrecena, are reported to have been
defeated
