TAMP leo TAKEN
Af TER FURIOUS
REBEL At TACK
Federal Losses Said to Have
Been Heavy in Final Bat
tie at Mexico Gulf Coast
City.

VERA CRUZ, May H. Tampico
has fallen before the latest rebel AS
sault, and WAS occupied today by the
army of Villa, according to dispat-
cheS received here this afternoon.
Foreigners who had remained at
Tampieo are seeking refuge on the
ships in the harbor as fast as they
can be taken off.
AS soon ais the report was reoeiv-
ed here the British warship Essex,
flagship of Vice-Admiral Craddock,
began preparations to hurry to Tam
pico The falling of Tanpico into the
hands of the rebels followed furious
fighting, it was said, in which the
federal losses were extremely heavy.
1t was said that the oil tanks NEAR
the city were BURNING and that
Tampico itself was ON fire.
CONFIRM THE STORY
Representatives here of the Cow
dray oil interests have received
news of the fall of the federal coast
town, and it is understood further
confirmation came in a wireless dds
patch picked up by one of the Amer
icam battleships in the harbor here.
Three Americam lives are the
price that will be collected by Gen.
Rodrigo Quevedo for every bandit in
his command killed by rebel soIdi-
ems, according to defiance from
QueVedo today.
OUTLAW is TRUCULENT
QreVedo said he would kill A1neri-
cams at the ratio of three to ONE for
his OWN losses in revenge for the
action of the big northern Chihuahua
cattle companies owned by Ameri-
cans which had demanded protec-
tion of the rebels AIS a result of
representation a force of comstitu-
tionalist cavalry WAS sent from Jua-
rez in pursuit of the bandits. The
cavalry1nen killed several of the
bandits ian running fight.
Quevedo, in his communication,
said already his men had begun to
carry out the threat to destroy the
WindmilIs of various cattle compar
mics He said, however, that they
would not destroy all the windmills
at once, but would burn enough to
show their threat was in earnest.

destroyed by Mexicans The United
States takes the position that this
act was in no way an act of aggres-
sion.
The Huerta protest, however, has
demonstrated to the satisfaction of
officialdcm that the dictator is de-
terminad to take advantage of every
opportunity to accuse the United
States of bad faith before the media
tors. By doing so, officials here be-
lieve Huerta will be able to accuse
the mediators of discriminating a.
gafnst him should he decide later ON
to Withdraw from the conferences.
PUT BLAME ON HUERTA.
Some government officials took the
view that the order issued by Huer-
ta last Saturday to shut down light
houses on the Pacific coast might be
considered as a violation of the arm
istice, inatsmuch as it operates as a
hindrance to shipping and the move
ment of American warships in Mexi-
cam waters.
Admiral Mayo has reported that
cannon firing was heard at Tampico
last night and today. American Com

NORWEGIAN CENTENNIAL
May II Marks tooth Anniver-
saryof Nations independence

May II, 1914, marks the
beginning of Norwegian independ-
ence, after four centuries of
subjection to Denmark. The
approaching centennial is of
interest locally because over
eleven per cent of Wisconsin's
population is of Norwegian des-
cent. Pre-eminent among the
states of the Union in respect to
the foreign elements entering in
to her population. Wisconsin
welcomes no racial group to her
borders more heartily than she
does the Norwegian.
According to Doctor Louise
Kellogg OF the State Historical
Library, the first Norweign
immigrants to Wisconsin are
thought to have settled in Rock
County in 1888. The arrival ofa
second group at Milwaukee the
following spring aroused cons1d-
cradle local enthusiasm as it
was thought to be prophetic of
the superiority of the attraction
of our nascent commonwealth
over the older states of the
Northwest. These immigrants
located ir Racine County. In
1910 the tide of immigration
was turned into Dane County,
which has since become the
most important center OF Nor
weigh interest in the state.
Next to Dane County the most
important settlements are IN
the northern and western sect
ions of the State. in Trempea-
leau Vernon, La Crosse, and
other counties. Among the
cities, Superior heads the list
with nearly three thousand
citizens of Norwegian descent.
The debt of Wisconsin to this
element in her population is
incalcula ble

LOCAL NOTES ON
THE DOGS OF WAR

AS often happens, a bunch of men
sometimes accumulate in a certain
spot and aus the subject of war is
paramount at the present time, it is
but natural that the conversation
should drift around to the subject of
war. Nearly every idividalal has a
different solution to the Mexican
trouble; But, taking the humorous
side of the question, it is remark
able what u lot of funny stuff is

city, a short time ago, there assem-
bled by chance, a judge. two attor-
neys, a life INSURANCE man, an un--
dersheriff and a newspaper man.

around to the subject of the M exi-
can war. One attorney said that he
was quite startled few days ago
when he woke up to hear several
terrific explosions and his first

was that the Mexicam navy was COM

city. Well, as usual, where there

the second one remarked that he
also had BEEN awakened by the ex-
pIosion and his thought was that it
was simply wonderful that one here
in Grand Rapids could hear the de-
donations from the big gums on the
battleships and dread naughts at
Vera Cruz. The judge began telling
am attorney that he ought not to be

away, but the attorney said that
the dog gone critter would probably
follow the Mexicans instead of driV-
ing them away. Much surprise was
expressed at that and great many

Frank, but he finally managed to tell
the assernblage that they never had
scraps at his house and probably
the poor dog did not get enough to
eat and must of followed some tramp
away in the hope of getting a hand
out Frank wound up his remark
by asking if the dog had followed
amy of those present
Naturally every one present had a
story to tell about a dog and the
Judge, the two attorneys, the insur-
ance man, the undersheriff and the
newspaper man all started to talk at
once. Some one turned in a riot call,
which was Immediately responded to
by the entire east side day police
force. Well, when Louis arrived
and heard what was being talked
about, he started in to tell a story
about his dog. There We WIZ = a

Of course nearly all the stories

remained for one of the newer or
younger attorneys to relate about one
of his first cases in court, whereby

leniency ON the part of the prosecu-

Ball Game Sunday Resulted in
Victory For Rapids Team
Score 8 to |

Sunday afternoon to see the staging

attendance from Rapids was great
er than that from Nehoosa. The
bugs in this city have been fairly
aching to see some of the national
pastime
The game was not what might be
called brilliant piece of work Neith-
er team showed that they had oy-
erindulged in spring practice. There
was some individual good work, but
as teams, neither aggregation show
ed anything like mid-season form.
Lew FahTner for the Rapids did good
work back of the rubber. Pollock
was caught off of first in the 7th.
Rube Foster worked one of his old
tricks ON Pollock and caught him a
mile fast asleep and snoring.
Only two of the Nekoosaites reach
ed second base and only one cross
ed the pan with a rum
Foster went the entire distance for
the Rapids team and struck out y
of the gang from the suburb. Not
one walk was allowed by Foster.
Pollock pitched the first six in
nings for the NekCosa team when
he had a finger ON his throwing nit
split. Benz went in and finished the
game Twelve hits were gathered
from the offerings of Pollock and
Benz and Five men were presented
with gift of first The Rapids
players made five boots and the
Nekoosa gang was charged with six.
