General Mas Left City.

1 arrived in Vera Cruz from Mex
leo City on April 16, and had already
made my arrangements to leave ON
the City Of Tampico, but that boat
was delayed. General Mas left the
city in a coach before the first boat
load of marines landed on April 21,
saying to his army: There is no use
remaining here. Get out as best you
cam The federals left the city in
B box cars at about 1890 O'Clock in
the morning, 600 marines having beer
landed. These were the targ is fol
SharpShOoters, who would hide beh'n(
the parapets of the low buildings
through the marrow streets of the
town. 1t was soon found that this
number was not sufficient to handle
the situation and take care of the
various public buildings. During the
might the boats crept in toward shore

WAS GOOD MATCH.

The wrestling match given in
Moses hall Wednesday evening be-
tween George Dubois and Jack Woods
and for the benefit Of the baseball
club, was not amy too well attended
but was a mighty fast little bout.
The preliminary was put On by Au-
gust Weber and young Incl, Of this
city, and while the latter out-weighed
Weber by about twenty-five pounds,
and had the benefit of working
out with Woods, yet the lighter man
was too tough for him to handle,
Weber winning the first fall in four
minutes and the second In %.
Dubois, whose home is at St. John
but who has been working in the
city for some time, was scme Is or
Is pounds lighter than Woods, and
has also not had the benefit of regu-
lar training at the game, but at that
he showed up well and kept Woods
working all the time, and was work
ing on the big fellow during most Of
the match He is fast and strong,
and with more experience and train
ing would prove to be fast enough to
go up against the best of them. The
first fall was secured by Woods in
3S minutes and the second in 20.

WRITES OF MEXICO.
Ray Bell Writes Interestingly of His
Experience in Trouble zone.


The following interview with r
Bell, son of Mrs. Max Shafer of this
city, was taken from the Houston
Daily Post of April 29th, and gives an
interesting account Of his experiences
%hil in Vera Cruz when that place
F.. was taken by the U. S. marines. Mt.
Bell has been in Mexico the great r
part Of the time for several years
past and his intimate knowledge Of
the people and conditions stood him
Sn good stead In being able to look
after his business affairs there whiNe
other Americans were glad to leave
their entire possessions and escape
only with their lives. He has BEN
connected with the Cudahy Packing
Co., as their representative in Meg
leo for several years, and while other
people have BEEN continually bother
ed he has been able to conduct his
business affairs peaceably all of the
time.
The experience Of a man who was
ON the firing lime with the United
States marines when the landed at
Vera Cruz were related by Raymond
Bell, who arrived IN Houston Tuesday
morning, having come to Galveston
on the refugee ship EsperanZa. Mr.
Bell, however was not a refugee, but
ehad concluded hts business arrange
ments as a representative Of the Cud-
ahy Packing company Of Chicago. He
gave a vivid description of the cap
Sure of Vera Cruz by the United
States marines and recounted many
Incidents connected with it in which
he personally participated.
; MT. BeN took a number of photo
graphs of the opposing forces while
lthey were in action. all of which he
disposed of to a dealer in Galveston.
He saw the marines land, saw the
firing by the sharpshooters, saw the
old Bendto Juarez tower shattered by
a Volley from the gums Of the gunboat
Prairie, and taking Of the official
buildings. AS interpreter for the
Americans, his services were highly
appreciated.

The Baseball Season Opens Here Next Out And Boost For The Home Team
WANTS RETURN MATCH

The Democrat is in receipt Of a
letter from DAVIDSON, the st. Join
wrestler who recently met young
Ref in a match in this city, the bout
ending in draw on account of a dis
pute. Davidson is of the opinion that
the Democrat gave him a little the
worst end of the deal in the write-up
of the match, and especially In stat
ing that he weighed something like
twenty-five pounds more than Ref,
when in reality there was but nine
pounds difference in their weight. He
Is extremely anxious for a return
match to finish and states that he
will meet Ref amy place and at any
time, but would prefer that the
match be held in Great Bend, as he
desires to show the wrestling fans
here that he is not a fourflusher or
a quitter. A return match between
the two men would undoubtedly, be a
big drawing card and as Davidson is
ready to go on at amy time, and Ref
has stated that he would like to go
to a finish, a contest can undoubted-
ly be arranged. In the last match
Davidson was carrying too much
flesh to be in first class condition,
but he is in good shape now and is
open for engagements with anyone.

and IN the morning there were 5000
marines in Vera Cruz. When the first
firing continued, a message was sent
from shore to Admiral Fletcher ad.
Vising him to bombard the town, but
this he refused to do.
Wednesday morning at 9 O'Clock
we started toward the main part of
town. 1t was very difficult to locate
the points from which the shooting

pened to get sight of one of the fel-
lows Just as he poked his gun out Of
the window and under cover Of fir.

nabbed him. The marines went into
every house in the section wher
the shooting was going on and If the
door was not opened on demand it
was broken down.
"One Mexican prisoner knelt down
and kissed the feet of the commend
ing officer, begging for mercy and de.
claring that he had not done any Of
the shooting, but they all put up the
same plea. While taking pictures
came across a Mexican who was
wounded and as l snapped him he
gave me good cussing and when
returned the compliment in Spanish
he expressed great Surprise.
One of the humorous scenes was
watching the federal officers who had
been taken prisoners sweeping tn
streets while being guarded by ma

around ON mules and used various We

INSTITUTE AT HoIsINeToN.
County Teachers viii Get Acquainted
With Neishboring cry.

County Superintendent Jennie B
Momyer has ANNOUNCED that the Nor.
NAL or County Institute viii be he'd
in Hoisington this year instead Of in
Great Bend as has heretofore be n
the custom, the same starting the
first week in June.
The matter Of removing the count
institute from the county seat is one
which has been the subject Of much
talk and considerable publicity dur.
ing the past week and the resons for
Miss Momyer's action in the matter
have been set forth in her announce.
ment in another part of the paper,
and are seemingly coed and sufficient
and cali for no apology ON her part.
She believes that the schools Of the
north end of the county have been
neglected to a considerable ext Mt in
years past, and hopes by moving the
institute to that part Of the county
this year to arouse greater interest
and make 1t easier for the school
boands Of that part OF the county to
secure desirable instructors without
sending out Of the county for them.
Personally, the Democrat man
would have preferred that the inst.
tute remain in the county seat, at
which place it has always previously
been held, but we can see no
excuse for some Of the bitter attacks
which have been made on Miss Mo-
myer on account of her action. She
has been working for the best inter.
ests Of the rural schools ever since
she has been in office, and it yet re-
mains to be seen whether or not h4
action In this matter will be dstri.
mental to the interests OF the teach.
ers Of the county. In years gone by,
the institute has not been a PAYNE
proposition, there being a shortage al
most every year, and the Hois.ngtor
business men came forward anC
guaranteed the expenses this y ar Il
it would be located in their city
Their offer was made volzT4 arily c3t
without solicitation ON the part ci
Miss Momyer, and it was not unit
their action was taken that the bus
mess men of this city got busy and
made a like proposition, but the Hois
ington people had simply beaten then
to it. If the people Of the nor:h enc
can come over and take these in thu
tions away from Great Bend they ar,
entitled to them and there should BIZ
no sore spots. Doubtless tie largel
per cent Of the teachers Of tie coun
ty would have preferred that the in
stitute be held in Great Bed, but Il
is not going to work any great har6
ship on them to go to Hoisiagton fol
one year, and there is no question
but that the pople of that city will
do all in their power to make theil
stay a pleasant and profitable one
and the people Of the county shcult
see that the session Of the institute
this year is made one of the best il
its history. =
The Lord loves a good loser bu
hates a wilmer, and we're willing I,
acknowledge that Hoisingtcn beat Vi
to the game this time, and we have
no doubt but that they will take car
Of the teachers Of the county In
way which will be pleasing to all.
