FEARS HOLDUP AND
HAS SHOTGUN READY
Citizen and Officer Recognize Each
Other just IN Time; Police
After Burglars.

A serious, il not a fatal catastrophe
was narrowly averted Monday night
when mounted policeman Herbert E.
Davis, working in plain clothes &C
cOsted a citizen on his way to his
home north of the tracks. The citizen
at the time was armed with a shotgun
When approached by the officer he
threw a she'll into the chamber Of the
gun, believing that he was about to
be held up. After explanations the cit
izen was allowed to continue on his
way.
The residence sections of the city
north and south of the tracks, have
been policed with plain clothes men
and police chief L N Davis has issued
instructions to the officers to arrest
any I erSOn who cannot give a good &C
count of himself or herself
The policing of the city with plain
clothes men is done in the effort to
put stop to the burglaries and hold
ups. For the past two nights no bur-
glaries in the residence sections have
been reported.

and short story writer, died today af-
ter long illness. Mr.. Warman was

as wiper, fireman and locomot-
i've engineer.
The poet later met and married
Miss Marie Myrtle Jones, who inspir-
ed. the lines for Sweet Marie" a

scented to his father by the govern

FIERCE FIGHTING

Washington, April T.--Admlral
Fletcher reports a fierce fight as
having taken place between Mexican
federals and rebels at Altamira,
twenty miles north of Tampico, Sun,
day. 4 As5s
The engagement took place beyond
the trenches, showing the rebels have
not yet made their attack in force.
Admiral Fletcher said the dead and
Wounded had been brought into
Tampico.
Adyices received here from Tampi-
co were that the felerals have gar
rison of only 1000 men. Other dis
patches, however, show the federals
have sent about 5000 men from the
neighborhod of Tampico to the as
sistance of Torreon, indicating that
they have a large force at or near
Tampico.
The federals, besides the 1000 gar
rison, have three gun-boats In the
river and these are shelling the ap-
breaches along the river banks.
Turning Point Of War.
Most of the officials here believe the
turning point of the revolution VIII
come If Tampico is captured by the
rebels. This WI give them port
and enable Great Britain and other
foreign nations to deal with them d.
rect, eliminating the present proce-
