JURY RETURNED VERDICT OF
GUILTY IN ONE CASE AND AS
SESsED FINE, RECOMMENDING
THAT IT BE SUSPENDED.

This morning the jury in the case of
the State VS.. Belle James, charged
with assault with a knife upon the
person of one Laura Waite, returned
a verdict of guilty and assessed her
punishment at five dollars, with re-

Washington, Sept. 15.-Evacuation
of Vera Cruz was ordered today by
President Wilson.
American soldiers and marines un-
der General Funston, who have held
MeXico's principal seaport since 1t
was seized by the fleet April q
last, will embark for home as soon
as the transports can go after them,
and shortly afterward all of the war
fleet except a few light draft vessels
will be withdrawn.
The evacuation order was an
nounced at the white house today,
after a long cabinet meeting. 1t is
the concluding chapter of the second
armed conflict between the United
States and Mexico, in which score
of Americans lost their lives, nearly
a hundred were wounded, and up
wards of 800 Mexicans were killed
or wounded.
The reasons for the step were set
forth in the following statement late
today from the white house:
"The troops have been ordered
Withdrawn from Vera Cruz. This
action is taken in view of the entire
removal of the circumstances which
were thought to justify the occupa-
ton The further presence of the
troops is deemed unnecessary.
While no mention was made Of the
feet. il is understood in official cir
cles that with the withdrawal of the
troops most of the warships in Mex
lean waters will be ordered home.
The announcement followed a dis
cussion of the situation at today S
cabinet meeting and came as direct
result of favorable advices from Paul
Fuller, President Wilson's personal
representative, who is returning from
an investigating trip in Mexico.
Specifically, the American forces
were withdrawn at the urgent appeal
of General Carranza, first chief OF
the constitutionalist army. Through
Paul Fuller, personal representative
of President Wilson in Mexico, Gen
eral Carranza set forth that the
presence of American troops, instead
of being a safeguard against further
revolution and trouble with the Uni
ted States, constituted a constant
menace to friendly relations. The
Mexican chief contended-and he was
supported by Generals Villa and OBJ
regon--that the Mexican people
would not understand the continued
presence of American troops on Mex
lean soil and would cherish resent
ment, no matter how well intention
ed the American government was.
President Wilson is confident a
stable government VIII soon re-
store Mexico to its normal condition

This is an act of justice that the

fair-minded administration of Presi

the friendship of Mexico and the
United States.
'1t will open the way for a new

henceforth must be essentially con

entrants, and not until the clock
struck four was it possible to tell
who would be the candidates.

lican candidate. j. r. Snyder. af-
ter taking advantage of the ladies'

the necessary petition and will be

fall.
II. c. Lynn, who had circulated
his petition for states attorney.

his intention and passed up the time
limit without filing the necessary
documents. Mr.. Coventry IS the
only candidate filed. and, unless
there should be some sort of polit-
ical juggling at the primaries, will
be practically without opposition.
Another candidate who had kept
his troubles considerably to himself
was P. G. Rocks who sprung up at
the showdown with full-hedged
petition for sheriff. He will have to
fight it out with T. B. Meinhover
for the nomination on the democrat
ic side of the fence. the only office
for which that camp will have con-

political aspirations came to bat,
however. George ". Lynn relin-

attorney and will soar higher, he
having filed against Senator Allen

Batter, Reamer and Naramore are
out for the two seats accredited to
this county in the house. Britts
