Soon after daylight the federals
made a desperate attempt to rally.
They even extended the line of firing
outward but this brought only in
creasing firing by the rebels, sending
the defenders back to the inner de-
lenses. Thereafter the relative posi-
ton Of the opposing forces remained
much the same with General Ortega
driving in shot and shell from three
sides, while the Federals fired from
what vantage points they had within
the city.
Never in border history has there
been scene quite equal to that pre-
scented by the federal wounded and
deserters scrambling to reach the
United States, while from their rear
still poured a parting shower Of shells
and bullets.

of smoke, begrimed, MANNED and half

Some people do not seem to under
stand that there is a mail box placed
at the crossing east and west Of the
N. P. depot for the convenience of
those who are late in getting their
mail into the post Office. Each mail
train stops and takes on mail from
these boxes. This is a very conven-
lent arrangement but should not be
abused. Mail all letters at the post
Office excepting when late and then
place in the box on the side Of the
depot block in which direction the let
ter is going.

Valley City'S First Ice
Carnival Was Success

New Years Day was skating day
for Valley City and it is estimated
that a thousand men, women and chill
dren were on the ice enjoying the
skating and engaging in the stunts or
watching those who were performing.
There was a fine spirit of enthus-
iasm and good feeling throughout the
day and every person had royal good
time. It shows what might be done
and what should be done during the
whole winter. There were people on
the ice enjoying the fun who had not
put on skates in years. They never
them about it or give them chance
to tell you.
A great deal of success of the day is
due to the splendid generosity and
forethought of Mr.. Henry Jack and
the Messrs. Laney who live close by
the river. These gentlemen cleared
the snow off the ice from the railroad
bridge to the first bend in the river
above, distance of more than 100
yards. The thanks of everybody is
due these generous hearted gentle
men for what they did.
An ice hocky rink was laid out and
by 3:15 game was in progress be-
tween teams composed of citizens who
had gone out for good time on the
first day of 1914 Tie game was holly
contested for 20 minutes, then during
the intermission the crowd witnessed
a speed contest for a distance Of 600
yards. The race for men was won by
Mr.. Baarstad with Mr.. Haberg a close
second. The race for boys was won
by Ernest Huntley and second place
was won by Myron Personals. The
races were followed by the last half of
the hockey game which ended with
the score of 4 to 2.
After the game the entire crowd
skated to Chautauqua Park where
there was smooth ice clear Of snow
and witnessed a fine exhibition Of fig
ure skating by D. w. Clark and Prof.
Biles or the High school. Mr.. Clark
carried off the honors in this event.
Next came quarter mile race
which was won by Carl Norgaard. Hill
bert Sanberg and Oliver Aas winning
second and third places respectively.
This was followed by the last event
of the dov a speed contest from Chau-
tauqua Park down to the railroad
bridge at the end of Front street. This
was a good distance for test Of speed

SAVING SWINE
Serum Method Saves Hogs i'm Dawson
County Herds.

Mitchell, Nov. 1S.-Over IS per
cent of the hogs that showed symp-
toms of cholera and were members
of infected herds have been saved by
the methods in use by the federal
bureau of animal industry, in its
flight against the ravages of the dis
ease in Dawson county.
According to figures given out by
DR.. S. M. Smith, inspector in charge
of the governments campaign oil
cholera eradication, out of 2,420 hogs
treated by himself and associates, the
actual loss has been only 1871 pei
cent.
Because of the widespread condi
ton of the cholera in the county anC
the necessity for saving as many an.
imals as possible. only animals in in.
fected herds have been vaccinated a:
a preventative against disease. The
percentage of animals saved has beer
ascertained by a second examination
made from three to four weeks after
the preventative treatment was Civ
en-.
Many of the animals vaccinateC
were in the last stages of the disease
and only a cure, which the serum
treatment is not claimed to be, would
have saved them. All of the hogs
treated had shown a rise in tempera
ture and had all symptoms of com
ing down with cholera. 1t is esti
mated by DR.. Smith that fully so pei
cent of them would have died had
not the treatment been given. AS il
is, less than Is per cent have died
Since the federal government:
campaign has been under way il
Dawson county. since Oct. 1. $3.50
hogs have been v%accinated as a pre-
ventative against cholera. This in
cludes the animals from sixty-ont
herds. A secondary report, which
would show the efficacy of the serum
treatment, has not been made upor
the whole number.

OF the sixty who were asked about
their experiences not one begrudged
praise to the Germans for their PROV
ess with artillery. Nearly all agreed
that the infantry firing was poor. but
they excepted the sharpshooters. who,
they said, had picked of the officers
