!, CHIHUAHUA, Mex. Feb. ,5.-rhe
FIRST slirmish between tile Federal
troops protecting Torreon and the
rebel army advancing on that city re-
suited ina withdrawal of the rebel
forces. Tile skirmish occurred in the
mountain pass of Puerta de Lacadena.
Rebel troops under General Urbina
were guarding the pass when they
were attacked by a Federal force
which advanced from Mapimi. A brief
fight resulted in the abandonment of
the pass by the rebels and their re-
itirement to the main rebel advance
guard north of Mapimi. With the ar
rival of Gen. Francisco Villa from
Juarez today, rebel leaders looked for
ward tothe Torreon campaign. Mean
while the rebels are enforcing what
is referred to by alleged Huerta SYM
pathizers as II reign of terror.
One of the duties assigned TO, an
employe of rebel newspaper is to
dig out of the Tiles the names of per-
sons who participated in social or
business events before the rebels oc-
cupied the city. Lists of these nuisles
are published. They invariably bring
forth disclaimers from the persons re-
ferred to. Nevertheless reports of
some one having been taken out and
SHOT are numerous.

THE PURE AIR We
ENJOY IN EXTRA

Outdoor air is much purer ATM chit
than during the day. The atmos-
phere is cleansed by the precipita-
tion of dew or frcst for moisture as
it drops to the earth carries with
it from the air the particles of dust
and smoke which pollute it. When
there is no wind the atmosphere
us also cleared by gravity, the part
icles of dirt getting slowly to the
earth. Fresh night air stimulates
and tones UP the body and induces
healthful sleep, which is normally
followed by renewed strength and a
fresh mental outlook upon life.
We can breathe fresh night air with
out harm, and with much benefit If
We protect ourselves from insects.
for it is the mosquitoes which car
ry malaria instead of the night air,
as was formerly supposed.

John Dimick of this city topped
the beef market at Chicago with
his bunch of forty-three fourteen
hundred and ninety four pound
steers that he had on the market.
last Wednesday,. 9 John got nine
dollars and seventy five cents per
hundred for them and his commits
sion men, Rappal Bros. and Com
pany said this was the highest price
OF the year equalling the tops of
last February and March and within
one dollar and twenty five of the
high prices of 1912.
1t must be gratifying to Mr.. Di-
mick to be able to- say that he
fed cattle that topped the Chica-

TOURING THE GREAT
RIVER TO RIVER ROAD

1t is surprising to see the NUM-
ber of tourists going over the Ri
YER to River Road each day AS far
east as Boston and bound for
Denver while many are going to the
coast.
Many stop for one thing and an
other and in conversation with the
easterners they say that Iowa is the
garden, spot of all the states they
had passed through. And when it
comes to travel they have logged
the River to River Road with its
turns all marked, SO that stranger
cant miss the way, long wide smo-
9th stretches, with few grade eros
sings across the state, with poles
SO plainly marked that you feel it
has been done for you. They pre-
dict this "great way" will be the
one used next year; when hundreds
will cross Iowa bound for San
Francisco.

Bulletin No. 13, Ames.

of our readers have profited by it's
perusal. We know of few and
we hope to hear of more.
The tester becomes a dairy spec

from his viewpoints only. but from
the viewpoint of twenty six prac-

He knows exactly what each man

has the different rations feed on
different farms all copied neatly in
the record book. These records are
accessible to every man in the asso-

not succeed i'm severing his iugu-
lar vein. But he was so determined
TO end his life that he drank from
can CT lye into which he had
poured water. !.
He was found in his yard shortly
after he had committed the rash act
and physician was summoned but
while the cut was not considered
serious, the lye had so badly burn
ed his mouth and throat that he
passed away about twenty four
hours after his first attempt.
Mr.. Zaiger came to Cameron town
ship in the spring of 1876 and witt
another German bachelor named
Frank Neible, each bot some rail
road land and broke UP all they
could, with the means they had ait
hand The boys worked hard and
Jared much harder, for victuals wele
scare and money wass out of the
question. Eventually Zaiger pur-
chased Neible's interest on time
when Nieble struck for the west
but Zaiger stuck to the homestead
and eventually marie d a widow

and am integrity admired by all,
he commenced to accumulate pro-

he owned many acres of Audubon
