Two big touring cars belonging 10
Macon parties and en- route to Albany

high in midair, throwing the occupants
in all directions, but hurting none Of

TROOPS ARE RUN down

Villas Rebels Capture Many
Refugees

Eagle Pass, Tex March 31.-Refu-
gees who reached Piedras Negras,
Mex, from the vicinity OF Monclova
yesterday reported that Gen. Murgia's
command of constitutionalists had in.
terceptad several bands of fugitive
federal volunteers from Torreon AMI
killed them to the last man. No esti-
nate was given Of the casualties.
Murgia is operating between Mon
teray and Torreon and is reported to
have isolated the Torreon garrison
from all communication with Mexico
City and other federal forces at Mon
terey and Satillo.
There has been no communication
between Eagle Pass and Torreon over
the government telegraph lines for
five days. All railroads into Torreou
from the east have been cut. Gen.
Joaquin Mas, who went to reinforce
Gen Velasco at Torreon, made his
trip overland in armored automobiles
with his 500 men.
Murgia commands a strong force OF
constitutionalists which while taking
no part in the attack on Torreon, has
been working to prevent any assist
ance reaching the federals in the be
leaguered city.
He recently captured Monclova, cen
fscating large supplies in the railroa

SUMTER'S LIST
STANDS CHANGE
Being LESSENED
UNDER new REGISTER LAW
Only Five Days Left to Get
o. list

Sumter's list Of 1000 white voters
seems likely to be materially reduced
as the result of the new registration
law and the fact that many voters
hundreds of theh--will not register be
fore April 7th.
That date is next Tuesday, and Col
lector Small will register names
through that date and then bang goas
the books.
Under the law the registration boks
must close on April Z, so those who
have not yet attended to this import
ant duty should get busy.
You can not delegate the task to
some one else. You must register in
PERSON.
ANY voter who will be 21 years prior
to October Z, which is the first Wednes.
day in the month and the fixed date for
the state election, is entitled to reg
lister now and vote then. You do not
have to be 21 by April 7.
News from about the state indicates
that registrations are very backwal
SO far, and that unless voters get busy
many thousands will thus disfranchise
themselves.
You must be registered now or the
perpetual registration act will not ap-
ply to your case.
Governor Slaton and other officials
urge upon voters the importance of at
tending to the duty Of registering now.
If you put it off, you may forget alto
gtther and thus lose your vote this
year. You can not vote unless you go
in person and see that the tax collector
gets your name, after you have receiv-
ed the proper oath.
Hundreds here have not registered
and this condition is said to prevail
generally about the state Remember,
the books close on April 7.

SAYRE'S WOUNDS
NOT DANGEROUS;
FAST RECOVERING
BOTH men TENDER BONDS
Recent Fight Much Discussed
Yesterday

The difficulty resulting Monday night
between Mr.. D. S. Sayre, proprietor Of
the Seaboard restaurant, and Conduc-
tor Hollis Hurley, while creating con-
siderable excitement at the time AMI
causing some apprehension, was not
attended with serious results, as the
case developed yesterday.
The pistol wounds inflicted upon Mr.
Sayre in the thigh and abdomen, while
painful, are not regarded as necessa-
rily serious.
The bullet penetrating Mr.. Sayre8
thigh was quickly extracted, while it
is not believed that the bullet wound
in the abdomen will be of serious con-
sequence. The near proximity of the
weapon to this wound, doubtless, ac
counts for the slight danger inflicted;
otherwise it might have been more Sc
rious.
AS stated yesterday, Mr.. Hurley re-
ceived a blow in or near the eve,
which bled profusely for a time and
an abrasion of the cuticle was quite
dlscernible Whether he was struck
with any missile will be a fact brought
out at the preliminary hearing, the date
of which has not yet been announced.
Warrants were issued for both par
ticipants in the fight and bonds given
