REVOLT in VILLAS ARMY
BREACH BETWEEN REBEL and
HIS LIECTENANTS.
Agreement Made Between Carranza
and Villa Not to Fight or More
Troops Until After Convention.

Reports of divisions in Gen. Fran
cisco Villas army are confirmed By
definite information received at the
border from both official and impair.
tial sources. The Arieta brothers
who long have dominated the Con
stitutionalist troops in the State OF
Durango, are said to have revolted
in favor of Carranza. Rumors that
Gen. Monclovio Herrera, with his en-
tire brigade, had revolted against
Villas authority were confirmed.
Tomas Urbina, one of Villas lead
ers, is reported to have taken Du-
range City from Arieta's troops after
battle. While nominally attached
to Villas division, the Arieta broth
ers, Domingo and Mariana, on pre-
vious occasions have refused to obey
his orders.
At the time of Villas final attack
on Torreon he ordered the Arietas
to join him before that town with
their brigades. They refused, say
ing they would not lead their troops
out of their home state. Villa issued
an order for their arrest, but was un-
able to spare troops to carry out the
order.
1t was said that Carranza's visit
to Durango in May was to adjust
these differences. AS a result of this
visit Mariana Arieta was placed in
command in Durango and Domingo
led his troops to join Gen. Natera in
the assault on Zacatecas. Carranza's S
order to Villa to reinforce Natera at
Zacatecas was intimately connected
with the first break between Car
rama and Villa.
1t is reported Sonora is dominated
almost completely by Yaqui Indians,
whom Governor Maytorent enlisted
in his revolt against Carranza. Ar
rivals from the western states de-
clare Indians have been placed in
civil Offices in the state capital, Her
mosillo, and other towns. The va
quis, it was declared, had set about
taking forcibly the lands which they
have claimed for years and which
they had been promised by various
revolution factions.
Definite agreement to cease all
troop movements Immediately and to
call the greater part of the Constitu-
tionalist generals together at Aguas
Calientes on October 5, preparatory
to a general convention on October
10, was agreed upon Wednesday at
the first conference between Villa
and the Carranza peace commission
ers.
The purpose of the convention on
the 10th of October is to exchange
ideas about settling the Carranza-
Villa dispute and re-establishing or
der throughout the Republic.

FOUR MEN SHOOT.
Combat in Mullins Resemble a Small
Sized Battle-One Dead.

A shooting, participated in by four
men of Mullins, occurred late We'd
nesday evening on the Henry Cole
man place, about three and one-half
miles south of Mullins. As result,

From reports received, it is claim
ed that the trouble was started by
Ad Waller, when he met Coy and
Duncan Rogers on the public road.
George Waller, son Of Ad Waller, is
said to have appeared on the scene
later, coming through a field, and
fred with an automatic pistol upon
Coy Rogers.
It is said that after he shot Coy
Rogers to the ground he turned on
Duncan Rogers and began firing at
him, but the shots went astray. Dun
can Rogers, it is claimed, reached

RUSSIANS and GERMANS Fight
FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK
AUsTRLANs LOOSE AUTOS
Army Reported in Rome as Fleeing
Russians Claim to Have Captur-.
ed All Food, Ammunition and War
Material Which Defeated Army
Was Trying to Convey to Austria.

On the east Prussian frontier the
Russians for week have been fight
ing the Germans along the River Me
men, between KoVnow and Grodno,
and have thus far held them in check,
while reinforcements have been
reaching them.
The battle is described as being a
furious one, but no details have been
allowed to leak out. The German
object in sending strong force in
this direction is to attempt to cut the
railway line from Warsaw through
Villa and Grodno, to Petrograd.
The Petrograd correspondent of
Reuters Telegram company says the
Russians have succeeded in extend
ing their front along the border
about $50 vests (ninety-nine miles),
and that this has resulted in the re-
pulse OF all the German attempts to
force passage OF the Niemen-
A dispatch from Rome to the Ex-
change Telegraph Company says: "a
Petrograd message states that
fierce battle between the army OF
Gen. Rennenkampff and that Of the
German Gen. Won Hindenburg has
been raging since Sunday morning
along a front extending from Grodno
to Druskeniki, on the Niemen river.
Four army corps have been engaged
on both sides, and the Russians are
being constantly reinforced from
Wilma. The Russians have already
repulSed the Germans at several
points"
The Russian armies continue to-
sweep through Galicia, and, accord
ing to report from Rome, that
province of the Austrian empire is
clear of Austrian troops What is
meant is that the field armies of
Austria have either gone, into the
fortresses of Przemysl and Cracow,
or retreate dto the south and west.
The Russians have advanced in
great parallel lines, and, masking
Przemysl, have swept the country
clear as far as line drawn from
Dukla in the south to the neighbor-
hood of Rzeszow in the north, while
other forces have pushed their way
through the passes Of the Carpa-
thia2s into Hungary. They have onld
to go little further to get possession
of the railway that runs from Sandek
through the mountains to Lablau
and thence through the heart of the.
country to Budapest.
If they accomplish this they will
be able to join hands with the army
which is approaching Craeow. Ac-,
cording to Petrograd correspondents
they intend to treat Cracow as they
did Przemysl and continue their
march into .Silesia.
In a dispatch from Rome the cor
respondent of The Central News says
that the Russian ambassador an
nounces that the Austrian army, fee
ing before the Russians, which was
defeated near Dukla, has been sur
rounded. All the food, ammunition,
and war material which was being
conveyed back to Austria has fallen
into Russian hands. The captures
include 500 military automobiles.

NO CAUSE FOR WAR.
Italy VIII Not Interfere in Albania
Because Of Recent Election.

Italy will not enter the war on ac-
count Of the situation in Albania.
The Tribuna OF Tuesday says: Italy
does not consider the offer Of the
crown Of Albania to a son Of Abdul
Hamid is sufficiently important to
justify intervention"
Rumors were circulated that the
occupation of Avlona, in Albania, on
the Adr;atic, by the Italians, was
imminent. Some of the reports even
had it that the occupation had cl-
ready occurred as an answer to the
abnormal conditions prevailing in AL
bania.
1t was officially denied that any
expedition was even imminent be-
cause it was stated Aylona had not
yet been threatened and also because
the question of Aylona was now alb
sorbed in the greater question involv-
ing the whole of the Adriatic.

MnerS OnCO Jagged ROCKS.
At least twelve men are believed to
have been killed as the result of
cave-ins in the American Davey zinc
mines at Webb City, Mo-, Thursday
night. Some reports place the death
list at over twenty.
Fifty workmen were imprisoned
temporarily when timbering support
ing the roofs Of three of the seven
connected mines gave way. Most of
them escaped by finding their way to
airshafts.
The ore bodies in the mines, where
the roofs collapsed, were not being
worked, but tons of falling earth and
rock sent rush of air through the
drifts of the other mines, which pick;
ed men up and buffetted them against
rocks and the Jagged ends of mine
tim bers. Many of the injuries and
deaths. it is believed, were caused in
this way.

SLAVS HURLED BACK
BY AUSTRIAN FORCE
IN CRACOW ADVANCE
Cars Assaults in Force Re-
pulsed Near Tarnow. {.
Austrian Line Unbroken,
Says Vienna War Office.

VIENNA, Oct. 4
The sudden advance of the Germans and
Austrians In Poland has surprised the
Russians, 1t is officially announced.
The Austrian War Office asserts its
plans are being successfully followed out
in Galcia.
The following official announcement
was made today by General Won Hoefer,
Deputy Chief OF the Austrian General
Staff:
The sudden advance of the Austrian
and German forces In Russian Poland
seems to have completely surprised the
Russians. Although they moved
strong forces from Galica to the
north, they were repulsed and driven
across the Vistula by the Allies, while
making an effort to cross the river In
the direction of Opalow. Our troops
captured a bridge held by the Russians
near Sandomir
In Galicia we are advancing in ac-
coidance with our plans. In the vicin-
ity OF Tarnovezeg we routed division
of Russian infantry.
1t is officially announced that the Rus
slams invading Gallcia in an attempt to
beslege the Cracow Notifications have
been driven back from the line of the
Donajec River by the reinforced Aus
trian armies. The Austrians have re-
taken Nowy Sandee (Neu Sandee), on
the southern Galician railway line just
east of the Donajec River and are still
in possession of Tarnow. The Russians
have made several assaults in force on
the Austrian positions in the vicinity of
Tarnow, but in every instance, 1t is
stated, they have been repulsed.
The Russians will soon be in danger Of
a flank attack, as the German invasion
of Russian Poland from the neighborhood
of Bendzin Is continuing.
The battle line in Galicia now extends
from the Vstula River, Just north of
Sczcucin, along the line of railroad that
parallels the Donajec, connecting the
northern and southern Galician lines.
The Russians have attempted to advance
with two entire armies along the north
ern and southern lines, but they have
been defeated in every attempt to break
the Austrian front. The Aus
trians are now on the offensive and will
endeavor decisively to defeat the Rus
slams and thus raise the siege of Przme-
syl.
This dispatch from Vlensa contradicts
the Russian assertions that they had oc-
cupied Tarnow, and were about to cross
the Donaiec River for the purpose of
Cracow.
