young woman OF Shumate, small
station two miles west Of Pearishurg.
was killed this evening shortly after
o'clock by train number II, which
left Roanoke at 8 is.
Miss Allen was walking on the ends
of the ties, and as the train was
rounding a sharp curve. il was inn
possible for Engineer Mailman, OF
Roanoke. to see her until he was too
close To stop.
The proximity OF the engine, when
she realized her danger seems TO have
confused her so that she made no ef-
fort to get off the track.
The front part of her head. from
her nose up was completely torn
away and death was instantaneous,
The body was taken TO Narrows,
where 1t was prepared for burial
Miss Aliens father was buried Sun

FOOD SUPPLY Of
VERA CRUZ CUT

VERA CRUZ. May 2i.--General
Funston is confronted with another
exhibition Of petty splits by Mexican
army commander, designed simply TO
inconvenience not only the military,
but everybody else. in Vera Cruz.
The federal officer in charge OF tho
port OF Alvaraao, about thirty miles
south Of Vera Cruz. declines to allow
any more boatmen to carry fruits or
vegetables to the city. He has order-
ed that none of them leave the port
with such a cargo under very heavy
penalties.
Alvarado is famous for it's fruit which
grows in abundance around the town.
and for Iagatah1es,r The little boats
have been bringing this to Vera Crus
for years. The trade took big boom
after the Americans landed, and the
prices were better than they have been
in history, The marketmen and the
boatmen were becoming prosperous be-
yond their dreams.
Oficially the order is said to be .
punishment for the Mexican hoatmen
who are charged with having induced
Admiral Badger to send the gunbo4t
Paducah to Alvarsdo to protect them
against their own countrymen. They
are called traitors deserving of pun-
shment for this crime.
