Thursday night of last week the

presented "Yonson, the Swede" to
the most sparsely settled house that
has yet greeted a travelling troupe.
A few more than thirty reserved
seat tickets were sold. However,
those who attended had no reason to
regret their action and those who
missed the play missed one of the
best local offerings of the season.
"Yonson. the Swede," and his sup
porting company were one and all
good and the play is highly enter
tanning. The small audience is at.
tributed chiefly to the fact that the
Lawrence people recently appeared
here with another play, and en-

Wilcox Home.

MIR. and Mrs. W. w. Wilcox re-
turned to Linton Friday afternoon
after spending the winter in Cali
fornia and Mexico. They seem to
have been unfortunate enough to ar
rive home just in time to meet the
real winter they went away to
avoid.
Mr.. Wilcox talked with the writer
extensively relative to the conditions
on the coast. In his opinion there is
no better place in the Union to loan
money. A good rate of interest is
to be bad and the state does not tax
money on loans. That is decided
advantage. For the investor it is
not quite so rosy view. 1t does
not seem advantageous 10 invest in

Canadian people in large numbers
are making their winter home on the
coast.
Before returning to Linton Mr..
and Mrs. Wilcox visited few days
at Ell Paso. Texas. This town is just
across the Rio Grande from the Mex
lean town of Juarez. the headquar-
tiers of the Mexican rebel. Villa.
Mr.. w. takes big interest in the
reported shooting of the English
man. Benton, by or at the orders Of
Villa, and says that there are more
old holes of prisons. etc.. in that To-
cality than an Investigator could in
vestigate in months.
He gives an interesting descrip-
tion of the corral at Fort Bliss four
miles from the city limits of Fl
Paso, Texas. About 1000 of Huer-
ta's soldiers and about / 300 refugee
women and children who crossed the
line seeking protection in the Unit
ed States. we're established in
camp by the United States. Mexi-
cans in FL Paso, who saw chance
to secure free board. flocked to the
camp and joined the refugees in
such numbers that the U. s. officers
constructed great corral.
This was made by building a
bsrbed wire fence about is feet high
and to prevent any from crawling in
or out the wires were charged with
electricity. In the corral long
streets of tents have been laid out.
and the refugees are being housed
there and held by the United States
government.

few miles north of the present town
of Linton. They later sold their
ranch and moved to the town Of

the Central Hotel for a period of
thirteen years. Then they moved to
a farm north of Braddock.
