Pueblo, Colo.-A trivial suit in a
justice of the peace court for the col
lection of rent was settled when Peter
Lalaich, eighteen years old, the de
iendant, was shot in the back and
killed.
Mike Saymovich, husband of the
rooming house keeper who sued the
youth, is being held by the police
charged with the shooting. The po-
lice say Saymovich contends he shot
in sell-defense.
Failure to pay his rent is said tc
have caused Lalaich to be ousted from
the rooming house at 1710 East Alb
riendo, conducted by his cousin. Say
movich thrust the young man from
the house and threw his clothing and
other possessions out after him. 1t is
alleged other roomers negligent in
meeting their obligations also were
asked to vacate.
Mrs. Saymovich sued I.alaich for
room rent, and there was short and
stormy hearing in a justice court. The
contending side plainly displayed ami
mostly while giving their testimony.
Lalaich. while in drunken condi-
ton, according to the police. went to
Walter Predovich, an Interpreter. and
said that Mrs. Saymovich was going
to kill him. The Interpreter asked
the young man to sober up and not en-
tertain any such foolish notion.
Fifteen minutes later Lalaich was
in his former rooming house. There
was a heated argument of short dur
alton in the back yard and two shots
were heard.
Lalaich fell with bullet in his
back and another wound in his right
arm. He was dead when the police
patrol arrived. His lungs. had been
penetrated by a ball that passed
through the right shoulder blade at
the back.
The police found Saymovich in the
house and placed him under arrest. A
revolver, with which he is said to
have killed his wife's cousin, was
found hidden underneath a mattress.
Two cartridges in the magazine had
been exploded.

ranza's reply, forwarded to the A b Z
mediators at Niagara Falls, is almost
complete refusal to participate in
mediation under the terms set down
by the diplomats. The constitutional

viting him to take part in the discus

ter into any conference where he
would be expected to give in on any
Of the following questions:
Agree to an armistice.
Agree to the appointment of a pro-
visional President.
Change his attitude on the agrarian
question.
Consent to the military movements
of the constitutionalists being
dictated.
The message of the rebel general
was sent to Washington and from
there will be delivered to the Brazil
ian, Argentine, Chilean and American
members at the Niagara Falls confer
ence.
Carranza's note reiterated his will
ingness to have participated in the
various conferences whose sole object
he recognized to be the pacification
of Mexico and whose good offices he
tentatively recognized. The futility OF
the discussion of Mexican internal af-
fairs. however, is pointed out.
Niagara Falls, Ont.-The mediators
proposed a new course of action,
which not only will prolong the pro-
ceedings. but may eventually work out
a solution of the Mexican problem.
The suggestion contemplates separ-
ate conferences between the Ameri-
can delegates and representatives of
the constitutionalists. Justice Lamar
and Frederick w. Lehman would con-
tinue their dealings with the Huerta
delegates through the mediation
board. In this way all elements in
the Mexican situation would be
drawn together and there would be
no necessity for the declaration of an
armistice until some agreement was
reached and approved by the constitu-
tionalists.
The plan was said to be result
of the visit of Minister Naon of Ar
gentina to Washington. where Presi-
dent Wilson is understood to have
emphasized the written statement OF
Justice Lamar that any agreement
reached by the mediation board
which was not approved by the con-
stitutionalists would be paper

the sole purpose of the United States
the pacification of Mexico.
