EEL PAS0 IS TERR0RIZED
American Towns Along the Border
Prepared for Conflicts Which
Seem Constantly Imminent.

Ell Paso, Texas.-El Pasoans are
spending their days in expectancy and
their nights in anxiety, and the war
fever, fed by the knowledge that Mex
lean treachery, formed by Mexican
hatred for Americans, Is capable of
any atrocity, is increasing in intensity
as the days pass.
For a week Ell Paso has expected
trouble with Mexicans within its Dor
ders, and with Mexicans across the
Rio Grande, and every man of the
American population of the city has
prepared for a conflict which IN
SANITY appears imminent.
For days American cannon, field
pieces capable of carrying death and
destruction wherever their missiles
are sent, have been trained from the
heights of Ell Paso towards the Guar
tells in Juarez and upon every point
from which a Mexican attack could
be made upon Ell Paso. Fol days
American cavalry and American in
fantry, equipped for instantaneous &C
ton, have been waiting at the thresh-
hold of Juarez, ready to move upon
that town upon the slightest hostile
move which the rebels OF Pancho
Villas army might make.
Night and day American machine
guns have guarded the approaches to
the international bridges leading from
FL Paso to Juarez and constantly thou
sands of American men, voluntary
home guards, have been waiting anC
ready to lend, with desperate earnest
ness, assistance to the defense of the
city of Ell Paso.
Across a narrow and almost water
less river, within a stones throw o.
the business section of Ell Paso, Pan
.cho Villa, former bandit and now mil
itary dictator of all Of Northern Mex
leo. has been watching the trend o
events on the American side with thu
cunning of an Indian. His coming tt
~Juarez, flushed with the victory of hi
army at Torreon and filled with tn
desire to add to his glory In Mexican
estimation, was a menace to FL Pas
and a threat to the American nation

Loss on Barn at Rutland Yesterday Aft
ernoon Was $500.

Rutland, June 27.-A barn valued at
about $500 and insured for $500, owned
BY Wallace w Nichols of Prospect
street, was totally destroyed by fire yes
terday afternoon shortly after noon. The
blaze was discovered by persons living
on Lafayette street. just east OF which
the barn was located. and an alarm was
sounded from box 35, at the corner OF
East and Washington streets. Before
the fremen could get to the scene, the
barn was all ablaze and on account of
its distance from a hydrant was burned
TO the ground in few minutes The
firemen gave their attention TO keeping
the fire from spreading through the
grass.
1t is supposed that the blaze was
caused from matches in the hands of
tramps or boys Some of the neighbors
saw persons hanging around the barn
just before the fire was discovered The
barn has been on fire several times be-
fore, according to Capt Reedy of station
No. g

the station during vacation time, had a

FIRE CAUSES s2s,ooo LOSS.
Slaughterhouse Near Essex Junction Was
DESTROYED.

Essex junction, June 27-The slaugh-
terhouse and refrigerator owned by W.
IS. Fletcher and occupied by Herbert
Teachout was burned to the ground last
evening. 1t is situated about one mile
west of this village and was discovered
in flames shortly after 6 o'clock. The
volunteer fire company responded at
once, but was unable to save the burn
ing building, though the chemical engine
was effective in saving the barn and
hennery. The cause is unknown, as no
one had ben near the building since 3
o'clock. Mr. Teachout occupied the
slaughterhouse and sausage factory and
estimated his loss at $1,000 or Sl.5O0,
including hides, meat and machinery.
He had 800 insurance with the Burling
ton Mutual Fire Insurance company.
Mr.. Fletcher estimates his loss at 81 900,
partly covered by insurance.
