WHIPPED AND TARRED.
Girls Alleged Traducer Victim Of
Seven Angry Relatives.

Horsewhipped,s covered with tar,
and otherwise roughly handled by
seven assailants, one Of them a wo-
man, who charged him with making
derogatory remarks about thirteen
ear-old girl, Arthur Bryan, seventeen
years old, of St. Helena, Nd, had an
exciting experience Sunday night. Ae.
cording to young Bryan, he was pass
ing a church on his way to party
when he was met by John Hughes,
who told him Mrs. Hoare wished to
see him behind the church.
He went there and was immediate
ly seized by six of the persons named
Hughes joining the party at the same
time. While two Of the Hoare boys
held him, shaking him roughly, the
father and mother, Bryan says, charg'
ed him with circulating injurious re-
ports concerning their daughter, EN-.
ma.
Bryan was declaring his innocence
of this, when his hat was Knocked
from his head, and, firmly graspeo
by his captors, he was dragged tc

Hot tar was daubed all over his cloth

FOUR ARE BURNED.
No Effort Made to Save Negro Chill
dren Locked in House.

A pitiable story of the death of
four small negro children Of Cheraw
came to light. 1t seems that John
Marshal and his wife, two hard work
ing negroes, went to work Thursday
morning and left their children lock
ed up in the house.. Later fire was
discovered in the building when
flames we're seen issuing from the
roof and a passerby turned in an
alarm. When the iremen arrived,
they found the house tightly locked
and no sign of life anywhere.
Having no reason to suppose that
these was anybody in the house, the
fremen turned their attention to
fighting the blaze, which proved stub
born and was not subdued until the
house had been almost entirely de-
stroyed. Finally, when the house was
in ruins, the parents of the children
appeared and began to inquire Of per-
sons still in the neighborhood for
their children. When told that no
one had been taken from the house
and they realized that their children
had been burned to death, the grief
Of the negro couple was pitiful to be-
hold.

REBELS GAIN VICTORY
VILLA WILL ATTACK TORREON
AFTER SHORT DELAY.
Rebel Chieftain Establishes Base for
His Action Against City-Battle
Expected to be Decisive.

Having cleared the way for direct
attack on Torreon by his success last
in establishing a base at Durango,
Mexico, and driving in the federal ad-
vance guard from Mapimi, Tlahualilo
Sacramento, Noe, Brittingham juno
ton and smaller points in the envi-
rons of the Huerta stronghold, Gen.
Francisco Villa, the rebel chief, left
for the South.
The zigzag front Of khaki clad re-
bells, including the almost naked In
dians who offered their services and
those OF their bows and arrows at
Chihuahua q month ago, but who
have been given modern uniforms
and arms, was nearest the enemy last
at Rrittingham Junction, only seven
miles north of Torreon. Other col
umns were Is, 20 and even more
miles away, but all were reported in
motion along the route, opened by
the vanguard, in the direction of Tor
reon.
The first important movement Of
the week just passed took place when
Gen. Villa, having appeared suddenly
from Chihuahua, set his troops in mo-
tion early last Friday morning from
Yermo, about 10 miles north Of Tor
reon. Fifteen miles north Of Durango
he came upon a strong. advance col
| umn Of the federals who are believed
to have been under orders to retreat
on appearance Of the enemy. The
appearance of the rebels, however,
was so sudden that the retreat be-
came almost a rout. The federals,
like the rebels, were mounted, and
the encounter became sort of a
steeplechase, with the pursuers
smothred in the dust kicked up by
their mounts, firing blindly from the
saddle.
The fight continued at a gallop
right into the streets Of this little
city, and here it was that most Of the
federal losses occurred. The bodies
of 108 were picked up by Villas men.
The federals are believed to have car
ried off those who were wounded in
this city, as only three were found.
The rebel loss was virtually nothing.
On the heels of the cavalry came
other troops, and Gen. Benavides with
| sunerior force was sent by rail
against Tlahualilo, town northeast
Of Bermejillo. At a great irrigation
ditch shortly after leaving Bermejillo,
Benavides came upon federal force
which he estimated to number 400.
An hours engagement ensued as a
result Of which the rebel commander
reported to Gen. Villa the rout of the
enemy, leaving 80 dead on the field.
His own loss he reported as three kill
ed and seven wounded.

WILSON IS CONFIDENT
WANTS QUICK REPEAL OF THE
FREE TOLLS BILL.
I1npresses Callers That He is Snxious
for His Party to Take Off EXemp-

I1npresses Callers That He is Snxious
for His Party to Take Off Exemp-
tion.
President Wilson declared Monday
that in seeking the repeal of the
Panama tolls exemption he not only
was seeking that the nation do what
it was bound in honor to do, but was
going the way of the majority in the
Democratic party. He pointed out
that when the Panama canal act was
passed majority Of the Democrats
then in the House of Representatives
voted against the tolls exemption,
and that only by coalition of a
minority of Democrats with a num-
Der Of Republicans did the measure
become law.
This announcement was taken in
administration circles as the pres1-
dents answer to the argument at the
Baltimore platform made the tolls
exemption Democratic doctrine. The
president is understood to believe
that the majority opinion of the DEM
ocrats in the House, as last express
ed, was a result of more deliberate
consideration of the question than
was possible at the Baltimore con-
vention.
The president made no secret to
callers of his anxiety for the repeal
measure to come to vote. Asked
if he thought influences were at work
to prolong debate unnecessarily, Mr..
Wilson said he did not know, but it
certainly appeared to him as if there
had been flibusterng; that minori-
ties always fiilibustered and disclos-
ed themselves in flibusters.
The president is confident that he
will have the majority Of his party
behind him in the House when the
repeal comes to a vote. He has been
assured that at least 200 Democrats
and many Republicans will support
him. Senator James of Kentucky
has informed the president the vote
in the Senate would be at least So
to "a in favor of the repeal.
There seemed little prospect Mon
day night of getting the Sims repeal
bill before the House until late in the
week at the earliest. Debate on the
rivers and harbors appropriation bill
is dragging along slowly with no pros
pect Of immediate conclusion. Mon
day the apparent efforts Of members
to prolong discussion Of trivial mat
ters brought constant reference by
champions Of the toll exemption re-
peal to filibustering tactics.

PARCEL POST TO HELP
WILL PUT FARMERS IN TOUCH
WITH THE CONSUMERS.
The United States Post Office Depart
ment is Perfecting Plan to Reduce
the Cost of Living.

Preliminary steps have been taken
by the post office department to per-
feet its plan for reducing the cost OF
living by having parcel post carry
farm products direct to the door OF
consumers. Ten cities were selected
to begin the work of establishing di-
rect connection between producer and
consumer. Postmaster General Bur
Lesson already having issued an order
permitting the use Of crates and boxes
for butter, eggs, poultry, vegetables
and fruit shipped by parcel post.
Orders Saturday went to the post
masters at Boston, Atlanta, st. Louis,
San Francisco, Baltimore, Detroit, La
cross, Wis, Lynn, Mass, Rock Is
land, Ill.,, and Washington, directing
them "to receive the names Of per-
sons who are willing to supply farm
produce in retail quantities by parcel
post Printed lists Of these names
will be distributed among town and
city patrons.
"By the use of the lists" said First
Assistant Postmaster General Roper
'tthe city consumer can; get in touch
with a farmer, who will fill his week
" order for farm produce. The con-
sumer will receive the product fresh
from the country and the farmer will
be relieved Of carrying his produce
to market, as the rural carrier viii
make daily collections at the farm
er's own door of the retail shipments
to city consumers.
"The point has been raised thai
difficulty will be experienced in the
return Of hampers and other con
tainers. The farmer may use mex
pensive hampers whose value would
not warrant their return or he may
use the higher grade hampers fol
which he may include an additiona
charge to be credited to the consum
er on return Of the hamper by parce
post.
"The postmaster general is con
yinced that this plan Is the one thins
necessary to enable the people Of thi!
country to enjoy the potential bene
! fits of the parcel post. The post
master generals plan is designated
to provide for the most economica
distribution Of those products which
are consigned in the form and condi
ton in which they are produced.

Gets $4,000 and Makes His Escape in
an Automobile.

A bandit Monday shot the cashier
of the Union Bank Of Altoona, Pa,

ach. A bookkeeper and another en-
ployee escaped through door while
the teller lay concealed IN a corner,
The robber gathered into satchell
all the loose bills he found on the
counters, and after wounding a de-
positor who entered the bank. walk
ed out to the street, firing in every
direction and chasing everybody to
cover.

NEGRO LYNCHED.
Alabama Troops Arrive Too Late to
Save Black Fiend.

Charles Young, a negro, was lynch
ed two miles from Clantonx, Ala,
Saturday night by mob of citizens,
for assau'ting a white woman living
a short distance from Clanton. Troops
were rushing from Montgomery to
protect the negro, but arrived too
late. The assault was most brutal
one. The victim was badly beaten
and bruised about the head and face
and after the negro had committed
the outrage and robbed her home, ne
looked about for some weapon with
which to kill her, but her pleadings
and screams frightened him away be-
fore he could accomplish this. Fol-
lowing news Of the crime, dogs were
put on the negro's trail, but they
could not follow the scent. Posses,
however, began a search and Young
was captured.

TALKS TO DYING BOY.
Presidents Eyes Are Teardimmed as
Grants Desire Of Lad.

The president of the United States
laid aside the cares of state for a
short while Monday to cheer a pale,
weak lad of twelve who was brought
to the White House on a stretcher.
Harry Winthrop Davis, of Sewickley,
Penn, was the presidents caller. He
is paralyzed and his strength is slow
ly ebbing.
He told the president how he had
prayed to see him until his mother
had arranged a meeting through Mrs.
Wilson. The presidents eyes were
dimmed as he walked away after
chatting for several minutes with the
lad.
