General Venustiano Pine Carranza,
the chief of the Revolutionists.' is an
entirely different type of man. Fully
six feet In height. broad shouldered,
and with a ruddy complexion, the re-
suit of his open-air life. and full
beard he has the appearance of a
well-to- do American farmer. He Is
tifty-nve years of age. although he
looks much older. He is a Mexican OF
Spanish descent and was born on a
ranch in the State of Coahuila. His
father was both a farmer and an army
officer and was on duty when the exc
cution of the Emperor Maximllian
took place.
In moderate circumstances. Carranza
received his earlier education at an
inferior school not far from the ranch.
But he learned much from his father
of the wrongs of the Mexican poems
and of fighting. Then he decided to
read law and for time studied at
Coahuila ard later in Mexico City. He
was sorely afflicted by near-sighted-
ness and the physicians feared that he
might lose his sight entirely II he
continued to study. SO Carranza went
back to the ranch.
Several times he tried to be elected
to office in his native State. but the
Diaz candidate always won because
the willy old President had soldiers
guarding the polls and ballot box
stuffinK was done n the open. Diaz
feared Carranza's hold on the people
and he tried In every way to get rid
of him. AT one time he even threatened
him with death. but knowing that this
would certainly cause an uprising he
never put the threat into execution.
Just about this time young Francisco
Madero became Interested In Mexican
affairs. He was wealthy in his own
right and he liked Carranza, and al
though there was a vast difference in
their age and station the two became
and Madero spent hi3 time
listening to Carranza's stories of the Ill
treatment of the Mexican peon. Then
Madero financed Carranza's campaign
for the Governor of Coahuila, but the
Diaz man won. This settled things
with Madero. and the revolution,
which brought about the exile of Diax

came on-Carranza leading his men

A. o. CHRISTOPHER SUES
FOR BANK STOCK TAKE

of Nampa.


Prosecuting Attorney B. w. Henry
for and in behalf of County Assessor
A. o. Christopher, filed four cases
in the district court Tuesday against
the stockholders of the defunct state
Bank of Nampa. The actions are
brought to collect taxes on the bank
stock held by the defendants, Messrs,

Givens and c. E. Lore. The amounts
involved in the cases are as follows
]. w. Owens, of $6o883; J. A. Civ
ems, $1,000; R. l.. Givens. $78.63; c.
f. Lore, $l07.03. The complaint also
asks for the interest on the alleged
delinquent taxes up to the date OF
judgment, and for $50 attorney fees
in each of the four cases.
Total Debt $1,573.
The total amount of alleged delin-
uuent taxes on the stock of the Bank
of Nampa for the year 1913 is $l573
and Of this sum, $l0l5.l3 is represent
ed in the above four actions. This is
based on a taxable valuation of $780,

taxes on the banks capital stock, less
the taxes paid on the land and other
