LIGHTS FOR THE TWO TOWNS.
WalhalIa and West Union to BE
Served by New Enterprise.

The Walhalla Light and Power
Company has obtained its charter
from the State Of South Carolina,
and has secured rights-of-way for
its transmission lines, which will
run direct from West Union to the
power site, two and one-half miles,
and thence up Main street to Wal
halla, one and a half miles. West
Union will install seven large street
lamps, and Walhalla 80 or more.
Contracts have already been placed
for one pair Of 15-inch horizontal
turbine water wheels, electric ma
chinery, and wire for the transmits
sion lines. Work on the concrete
dam will begin at an early date.
This little power site belongs to w.
A. StrOther, who proposed recently
to the Council of Walhalla to make
it gift, free to them, if they would
develop it for the use Of the town.
They declined because they were un-
prepared to make the developments.
The primary object of this plant is
for lighting purposes. Mr.. Strother
is the prime mover in this enterprise,
as he was also in building the cotton
and hosiery mills, the West Union
Oil Mill and the Coneross Light and
Power Co. DR.. J. w. Bell is presi-
dent OF the new company.
While this is a small power, 1t will
be amply sufficient for lighting and
driving light motors for many years
to come.

TWO HORRIBLE ACCIDENTS.
Littde Boy Scaldcd to Dea h-GirI
Badly Burned.

Savannah, Ga, Feb. 16.-Leroy,
the Z-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
&. +. Stewart, was drowned in a large
cauldron Of boiling water Saturday
afternoon.
'Oh, mamma, come quick; see the
horses running!" shouted the little
fellow to his mother as he drew a
set OF toy horses across the room.
The happy shouts of the child soon
changed to an agonizing shrek.
AS the mother reached thes room
the child was tloundering in a tub
or boiling water, which had only a
tew minutes before been removed
from the range. The child was lite
rally cooked from his armpits to the
soles of his feet, and after suffering
untold agony "a hours died at 4
o clock yesterday afternoon.
Becomes Human Torch.
While standing in front Of an open
CRATE In the home Of her aunt, Mrs.
NJ. Dempsey, at $50 O'Clock this
morning, the clothing of 8-year-old
Harriet Slavin cOught fire, and before
assistance reached her she was hor-
ribly burned. 1t is expected her
burns will prove fatal.
At the time of the accident the lit
tie girl was alone in the house with
an aged aunt. Mrs. Dempsey had
gone out for a few minutes. When
the flames licked out from the crate
and ignited her dress the little girl
began screaming. In a moment she
was a human torch. Her screams
finally attracted tho attention Of the
aged aunt, who put out the fire, but
NOT until after the childs clothing
had almost been burned from her
body.

STORY OF BATTLE TOLD
BY FORMER W. 5. G. MAN
Continued from first pagel

When we set out for home about
500 a m. we discovered that a
guard of U. s. soldiers had roped
off the streets about three blocks be-
hind us. The soldiers, thinking that
we had come from Mexico, were not
inclined to let us pass at first. When
We finally got uptown the extras
we're coming out and between the
hours of five and seven there were
no less than seven extras issued
At about 700 a. m. troop of U. S.
cavalry. some two hundred in num-
Der, went galloping through the city
aud We thought that war had actual
ly been declared. These soldiers
were wildly cheered by the throng of
people which now crowded the
streets. 1t seems that these par
ticular soldiers were all ready to
move to Vermont and they had all
their belongings packed up. In view
OF this fact they made remarkable
time from the fort to the border,
and at that pace the Mexicans would
not have had time to get very far
with an invasion of Ell Paso before
they would learn that they had start
ed something.
At 100 o'clock that afternoon the
street cars were again running from
Ell Paso to Juarez as though nothing
had happened. So. with four of my
friends, | crossed to Juarez to walk
through the captured city. The first
thing that met our gaze was the au-
tomobile belonging to Charles Seq
gersen, the only American killed in
the battle. The machine was riddled
with bullets and many were busily
engaged in picking up pieces of glass
from the shattered windshield for
souvenirs. Mr.. Seggersen was prob
ably waiting for a fare in front of
the hall, where his machine was still
standing, when the fighting began
and he no doubt was killed before
he had an opportunity to call out
the fact that he was an American.
Villa afterward sent note to Mr..
Seggersen's family, expressing his
sorrow at the unfortunate occur
renee, and in a few days the family
were the recipients of $500, that be-
ing the first time in the history of
the revolution that the Mexicans had
tried in any way to make amends for
the death of any American killed
during the progress of one of their
battles. 1t illustrates Villas friend
ly feeling to the Americans and
shows that, contrary to the news
paper reports, he is doing every
thing in his power to preserve peace
with the United States.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1914-03-13

From the scene of this catastrophe
we moved on through the city to-
ward the barracks. In the heart of
the city men were busily engaged in
hurriedly removing the dead and
taking the wounded to the impro-
yised hospital, where they were given
first aid by half dozen doctors
from Ell Paso who had kindly volun-
teered their services to relieve the
suffering caused by the flying bull
lets. Arriving at the barracks we
were given permission to enter the
building. 1t is large structure with
a court, or "Patia," in the center,
and the entrance is through mar
row portico across which was still
trained machine gun used in a vain
attempt to keep the rebels from en-
tering. On the far side of the court
the bodies of two Mexican officers
lay huddled against the wall where
they had fallen when executed but
moment before we entered. That is
the part that is so distasteful to the
Americans. The war itself is bad
, enough in this enlightened age, but
to think that they could deliberately
execute their prisoners in civilized
country is appalling. Yet both sides
do it, neither giving nor expecting
quarter.
While we still gazed at the grue-
some sight, body of about twenty
entered the court bringing with them
three Federal officers and one civil
ian. They were speedily lined up in
front of the two bodies that lay on
the ground, and the firing squad
drew back a few PAGES and made
ready. The civilian requested per-
mission to speak, and this being
granted, he addressed the little as
semblage with words to the effect
that though they were on opposite
| sides and fought under different
| colors, he loved Mexico as we'll as
| 'hSSi udu Inc welfare Oh the country
at heart as we'll as they and hoped
that the cause of justice and right
eousness would be victorious. He
stepped back to his place in the line
and the four stood at attention, with
their heads barred, gazing squarely
into the muzzles of the score of rifles
which faced them. Not the tremor
Of muscle; not the flicker of an
eyelash indicated that they realized
that they were about to face their
Maker. Heroes? Just as much as
though they had single-handed pre-
vented the capture of the city. The
captain of the firing squad faced his
men and, raising his revolver,
brought it suddenly down, at the
same time saying, "Uno." The
word rang out sharply in the silence
and stiffness that filled the court

and for me time was suddenly at a
standstill. Again the revolver rose
and fell as the captain spoke the
word Dos" and the fate of each one
of the condemned four was filled
with peace and glory as they uttered
IN unison the words, Para mia
patria' C"For my country.
1t was a moment that thrilled you
to the very soul to see with what
confidence these four heroes faced
the mysteries beyond the grave and
the faltering prayer broke from lips,
May the peace of God which pass
eth all understanding be- amongst
you and remain with you both now
and evermore, Amen" For the
third time the captain raised his arm
-four voices cried viva Mexico
the rifles spoke and four souls went
out to God as the bodies fell to the
ground in a crumpled heap. Com
pletely unuerved, we had turned to
go when the captain sprang to the
side of the motionless forms and
sent a bullet crashing through the
head of each of the four bodies.
Whirling around, he struck one of
the squad with his revolver, and in
stantly it occurred to me that this
man had failed to fire and that the
captain had noticed it. We con-
tinued on to where we had entered,
seemingly hours before, and as we
passed the captain 1 whispered
They were very brave men"
"Si," he replied with a nod of his
head; they were Mexicans."
