100000 Structure.

Chicago, ILL.,. March 31.-Plans for

only available information here early

Torreon. Rebel officials declared the
main battle for the town was fought
at Gomez Palacio last week. The
losses there were heavy on both sides,
and they assert that neither side is
now able to repeat so bloody and de-

Chicago. ILL.,, March 31.-John b
koetters was found guilty today OF
numbering Mrs. Emma Kraft of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, in a local hotel, with a
hammer. He was given life imprison-
ment. The jury took the case yester-
day afternoon
A singular feature of the defense
was an attempt to set up an alibi for
the slain woman instead of for the muir
derer. Evidence offered proved she
could not have been at the hotel at the
time the states witnesses said she ar
rived there.
Mrs. Kraft was a widow of so. She
had been infatuated with Koetters and
had just sold her little property in
for $4,000.
II was the accusation of the state
that Koetters. failing to get this sum
by cajolery, murdered the woman and
fled with it.
