Tells Of. Veruara's Death.

Austin, Texas, Fen. 27.-J. J. Sand.
ers. captain Of the Rangers, report
ing to Governor Colquitt, made the
charge that Clemente Vergara was
shot to death while in custody of the
Mexican federal troops. Colquitt
telegraphed Secretary Bryan, asking
what methodd had been followed in
an effort to %apprehend those respon-
sible for the killing. Sanders says
on Feb. 10, five federals crossed the
Rio Grande and took II of Vergara's
horses and then asked him to cross
the river, on the pretext that they
wished to pay for the animals. When
Vergara and his nephew crossed Yer
CARA was beaten insensible and car
ried to the Hidalgo Jail. Later, un-
der guard, he started ostensibly for
Piedras Negras, but was shot to death
before proceeding far. Sanders says
Vergara was born in Webb county,
Texas, and had a pass to cross the

thriving little burg OF the east, Arena.
We had i known that Arena was
growing tosa town of some import
ance. and have for months been try
ing to make 1t convenient to pay
the new town q visit, but we had no
idea there was halt as much there as
we found.
Arena, originally, was an inland
pOstoiice, established some eight
years ago, Harry Mutchler was post
master, having the office in his home.
stead residence about two miles from
the present townsite. Mr.. Mutchler
is now the field representative Of the
Patterson Land company, has moved
his residence into town and there
seems to be a general understanding
that he is to be the first mayor
when they incorporate.
In the year 1908, Hon. Frank Fox
of the Fox Land company, Bismarck.
established a general store near the
postoftice, lie latter being soon NOV
into the store. In 1908 Walter Scott
purchased a half interest in the store
and the Arena Mercantile company
was established. Later DOC" Will
hanson purchased Mr.. Fox's remain
ing interest, the style of the firm
then changed to Scott Il Williamson.
These gentlemen are both young 3men
and full of life and business. They
have a neat store building and a. fine
clean and rather large stock of goods.
It is claimed that until recently this
store displayed a pennant''no wedding
bells for me-" but It has been taken
down and a soothing syrup sign
now adorns the moss conspicuous
place in the establishment.
Another royal booster for our
neighboring village is ]. w. Purdie:
proprietor of the establishment known
as the Arena Hardware company. MI.
Purdie is also a young man who has
not yet seen fit to take sQnto himself
a wife. He established his hardware
store in 1911 and has eve since en-.
joyed a lucrative business. As spring
opens he will add a line OF harnes
and put in a harness and shoe repair
shop, to accommodate which he is now
putting an addition to his building.

The Treaty of Client

While we're celebrating the holt
day season let's remember the Treaty
OF Client. This is good time to
recall it, because 1t was signed just
100 years ago, December "a, 1914.
The Treaty of Client? Can you
bring to mind from your history day
that document. Do you know what
war it closed2
Glance northward four miles and
portant provisions of that treaty
will be seen. From the NoOksack
river valley, straight to the noun
tains the eye travels without see
ing a single break to show where
United States soil ends and Canada
territory begins. For the Treaty
OF Client, which closed the war OF
1912 with England, provided that
the boundary between the United
States and Canada should be for
ever undefended.
That's why there isn't fort, gun
or soldier along that $500 mile
boundary stretching to the north.
How unlike the heavily fortified Dor
ders of the old world nations and
how much better
Consider the Belgian frontier, its
heavy armor broken to bits, and the
frowning outpOsts of the French,
and the Germans, and the Russians.
Then turn again toward our Cana
dian line. and praise the wisdom OF
the diplomats who framed the Treaty
of Client, which brought a..bundred
years of peace between the United
States and Great Britain.

A Christmas Sermon

Comes now the Christmas time,
with its general feeling of peace and
good will.
To make the Christmas spirit live
during the year should be the aim
of each of us. Such a famous Christ
mas sermon as the following by Rob
ert Louis Stevenson might well be
memorized and taken to heart:
ITO be honest, to be kind-to ear
a little and to spend little less, TO
make upon the whole a family hap
pier for his presence to renounce
when that shall be necessary and no
be embittered, to keep few friends
but those without capitulation--
above all, on the same grim condit-
ion, to keep friends with himself
here is task for all that a man
has of fortitude and delicacy.
