Mexican Dogs Popular

There is further popularity. for Chihuahua dogs in store. and whatever happens in Mexico it is reckoned that the little Mexican pet dogs now owned in the United States can at least keep the interesting ana tiny breed alive. Lrs. Garret- Garrett of the Allstone kennels. Bound Brook. N l., and Mrs. C. D. Atwood. New York possess just the sort of stock called for It Is hoped that the Chihuahua Dog Club of Ame r. ica will further expedite matters and call more attention to the smallest of all toy dogs. It is the only club for the breed in the world.
 Tho toy black and tan terrier has be- come very scarce; the terrier headed. specimen is less common every day. Now Is the time that the Chihuahua 8 claims should be made known to the public in England and on the continent of Europe, where this breed of dog lis almost entirely unknown It is true that Mrs. Atwood took her dogs over ana exhibited them with success at the Monte Carlo. Nice. Cannes and other dog shows, but it is thought by many breeders that some wider means of pub Hritv for the variety should be sought out and employed toward that end.

ESCAPED CONVICT AND OFFICERS HAVE
 PITCHED BATTLE
Doc Bigham Forces Tusca- lOOsa Officials to Flee for
 Lives When Attacked

Tuscaloosa. September S.-tSpeeial., Doc Bigham. an escaped convict. en- gagged in a pitched battle with. Police Officer Hertis Thomson and Bertranl o. rnent of Tuscaloosa about r miles below Tuscaloosa at daybreak this morning and Sheriff Palmer and force of deputies are now in that vicinity seeking to effect his capture. Righam. who is a well known white man of this county. was sent to the penitentiary about two years ago for a term Of years and escaped From Wetumpka two months ago. Since that time he has been in this county. a number of men having reported that they had seen him. Thomson and Ozment. acting on their own initiative. made an effort to capture him this morning, but were surprised by Bigham and his two sons and forced to flee for their lives.
 Bigham was convicted of killing Soonie Prewitt, negro several years ago His conviction followed d united effort on the part of the county officials to break up the alleged reign of terror which had existed in the North River settlement where Bigham lived for sometime.
 The governor was notified today and
 increased the reward for the capture of Bigham from $50 to $15o. There has been considerable feeling expressed here on account of the fact that several white convicts sent up from this county for long terms have been made trusties and allowed to escape. Bigham was gone from the penitentiary an entire day be- fore his absence was noticed and Tom Cant. another man sent from Tuscaloosa for life term. after pleading guilty to first degree murder charge for the killing of Paymaster w. B. Turner, near lock r. also escaped almost as soon as he was confined. Harry Fox another white man. sent up for life. made his escape within a few weeks.

Christabel Pankhurst. Patriot

London. September S.--t11 .05 D. n.)-MiSs Christobel Pankhurst. the militant suifra- gette. who until recently WAS one of the tradition. made a dramatic reappearance before a great audience tonight in sup port of the government.
 "The defeat of our country and the victory of Germany" she declared, would be calamity from the women's point of view" Scores of fashionable women. recently freed from jail under the gov ernment's amnesty measure. cheered their leader and waved the flags of the allies.
 Miss Pankhurst said that the English women were ready to fight in the line, if needed.
 T agree with the prime minister at this time, and I hope he never will dis agree again with me-" Miss Pankhurst said. The remark provoked prolonged laughter and applause.
 Miss Pankhurst commended volunteers and their officers and pledged them the undivided support of the militant wom- en. She reminded her hearers that only geographical accident prevented Eng land standing today just where Belgium stands
 The future of democratic government is at stake" she said. Our country is that we may be strong as we never were strong before.'
 All suffrage organizations are engaged in recruiting and war relief work. The receipts from Miss PanlShurst's lecture were donated to the relief fund.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-09-09

Paris, September 9.-Q2:l0 a. m.)-A s = geant of infantry, wounded in the engage ment near La Ferte-Gaucher, says of the recent battle:
 T heard cannonading from Friday even ing. Saturday night we received an order to retire. but during the night advanced again and took a position on the hill side. Early Sunday morning the enemy tried to turn our left. We were ordered to hold them until the troops around Meaux had pushed back the Germans there.
 At noon the enemy commenced to re- tire in disorder. They rallied, however, to the north of La Ferte- Gaucher where the engagement continued all night. Mon day morning the enemy weakened again and fed
 We pursued them 20 miles, keeping up a steady fire that worked havoc in the German ranks, while not a shot was fired on their side.
 We succeeded in cutting off a de- tachment and took seven cannon, two ma- chine guns and many prisoners. One ser- geant of infantry admitted that his men had scarcely any ammunition and had been ordered to economize 1t to the ut most limit possible. We learned after wards that an order of the day had been read to the troops announcing six or seven great days for France
 An infantry officer wounded north of Meaux, said that the Germans seemed to be tired out. He counted 600 dead in single trench. The French infantry charged as at Charleroi, against machine guns, and in spite of strong positions, broke the enemys line. The retreat of the Germans was precipitate. They seemed to lack ammunition.
