as she approached him from below.

TERRIFIC FIGHTING
At TORREON
In Proportion to the Number Of Men
Engaged. the Slaughter Was
Immense

FL Paso, April 4.-The fighting at
Torreon was of the fiercest, and in
proportion to the numbers engaged
the loss. was as heavy as in any bat
tie Of the Balkan war.
The fighting began last Friday and
was almost continuous. At first Villa
attempted assaults on the strong fed
eral positions in daylight, but these
proved costly, so the days were spent
in cannonading and the nights in as
saults. Positions were taken and lost
time and time again. Several night
attacks sent the federals scurrying
from strong positions, but at day
break the captors would be compell-
ed to evacuate because of the ac-
curacy of the enemy's fire, which was
said to have been directed by French
and German gunners.
losses have not been compiled, but
General Villa estimates his own loss
es at 500 killed and 1,500 wounded
rand the federal loss at 900 killed
and $500 wounded, with an un-
known number of prisoners.
The federals had fortified the hills
with rifle pits, tranches and barbed-
wire entanglements. The nature of
the ground made it difficult to recoy-
er the wounded and many of them
died of thirst and hunger or lack Of
attention where they fell.
Automobiles were employed in res
cue work, but they could not ascend
the hillsides. Some of the fiercest
fighting occurred in the hills south

DUNNEILON
A GrapEi, Description of the Advan-
ta2eS and Attractions of the
Phosphate City

Dunnellon Advocate: Dunnellou
is always associated with phosphate
mining. which until recently was the
sole industry, although surrounded
by thousands of acres of fertile farm
ing lands. Not until lately has there
been any attempt made to use these
rich lands for trucking. The present
season sees about four hundred
cukes and other vegetables.
Dunnellon is located on two of
the greatest trunk lines, the Sea-
board Air Line railroad and the At
lantic Coast Line. 1t is also the
junction point for the latter of their
new extension to Wilcox, upon which
train service has been recently in
augurated. The Standard & Her
nando railroad connects Dunnellon
with the gulf.
The WithlacoOchee river which
forms one of the boundaries of the
town is one of its most important
assets. A government survey has
just been completed and the citizens
have petitioned for a ten-foot chan
mel from Dunnellon TO the gulf. On
account of the vast amount of
freight moved to and from Dunnel-
lon annually the necessity of water
transportation was clearly demon
strated and favorable action is hoped
for. This river is also the link in
the trans-Florida canal, upon which
actual work has begun.
Dunnellon now has the best equip
ped steel plants run by electricity
in the rock section, producing phos-
phate in excess of any other place in
the South. The town has a popula-
ton OF $500, and the immediate ter

ROMAN STATUTE

Oft Quoted Myth About Mosaic Law
Knocked Out by New York
Court of appeals

New York, April 4-The appel
ate division of the state supreme
court yesterday decided against
Florence Louise Brandt to establish
that she is the legally adopted
daughter of the late William Ziegler-
Miss Brandt claims one-half of
the SIS 100000 estate left by Zieg-
Ter, the bulk of which went to Will
lam Ziegler, Jr., an adopted son.
To prove that Miss Brandt was
Ziegler's legal heir, her attorney
went back to the Mosaic law. and
quoted from the Old Testament. OF
A braham:
"Lo, | am children; but one born
in my house is mine heir"
The appellate division however
supported the surrogate. who based
his opinion on the Roman laws gov

which he said came down from Jus
tinian. Miss Brandt was a school
teacher at Davenport, She is
daughter, the record, of the case
shows, of a half-brother of William
Ziegler, who adopted her during her
childhood. Later Miss Brandt's
father went through court proceed
ings which abrogated this adoption
1t was these proceedings which she
attempted to have set aside so that
she might share in the estate of the
dead millionaire.

town lots this winter were grown
some OF the best cabbage, lettuce,
beets and other vegetables We have
seen, and yet there are thousands
OF acres of wild lands, most of it
good for general farming or truck
ing. This land is cheap and the op-
portunity TO get rich with a moderate
investment, is the best on the West
Coast.
The town proper presents the best
opening for a tourist hotel perhaps
in Florida. The most desirable
places here are not prepared to care

ties are such that one stopping at
Dunnellon can eat breakfast here,
dine at Tampa or Jacksonville, and
return again to Dunnellon for sup

either of these cities.
We need people of means ani
