attack General Ortega's rear, was
driven back by the rebels, not however,
until he had killed a dozen or more
rebels. So far the casualties have been
dfsproportionate to the number of shots
fired. About 10000 rounds of ammu-
milton have been expended by both
armies on the basis that 5000 rebels
and 1000 federals are engaged this
would indicate that IL shots were fired
for each soldier, while the total dead
and wounded do not exceed 1000.
The fact that General Ortega had con-
centrated his forces at one point west
of Ojinaga was taken by the federals
as indicating that the rebels were pre-
pairing for a united attack. All the fed
erals, therefore, were rushed across the
plateau on which the village stands to
a west elevation. In these positions
the two armies rested without either of
them showing signs OF retreat.
When firing ceased tonight and the
federals gathered their wounded from
the field they found that Gen. Francisco
Castro, commander of the regular
troops, had been wounded in the arm.
Luis Terrazas, a grandson of the rich
land holder, who had enlisted with the
regulars, was shot in the foot. Gen.
Marcello Caraveo, commander of fed
eral volunteers, who had been slightly
wounded, was permitted to cross to tho
United States to receive treatment from
the Red Cross The total loss to the
federals in the days fighting was so
killed.

the troops to Oak Creek and they will
leave Trinidad as quickly as they can
be provisioned and entrain. Reports to
Governor Ammons tonight of the situa-
tion In the northern district of the coal
fields Indicated an impending clash be-
tween members OF the Taxpayers league
and strikers. The union men have been
urged by their leaders to arm themselves
and brook no interference from the
league. Consequently, it was said to-
night not striker would obey the de-
mand made yesterday by the league that
certain ones must leave Routt county
within "a hours.
Each faction, it was reported tonight
showed a bitter feeling against the otner
and an outbreak was imminent in spite
of pledges given Governor Nmmons that
no action in regard to the leagues proc .
1amation would be begun until tomorrow
or the day following. Sheriff Chiving-
ton of Routt county had told the gov
ernor the situation was beyond his con-
troll, and tonight the governor determined
that the presence of troops was necas-
sary to avert bloodshed.
Two of the seven strikers who yester-
day were deported from Oak Creek to-
day sent a telegram to Congressman Ed
ward Heating of Colorado, and Secretary
of Agriculture Houston in Washington,
stating that the mob which took them
from from jail at Oak Creek was led
by Harry Ratcliff, superintendent of the
forest reserves at Steamboat Springs.

|OUEER FRANKS OF
MISSISSIPPI RIVER
Often Plays Tricks on Towns
on Banks-Where Down
stream Is Upstream

The Mississippi river is said to be the
most crooked river In the world, says the
New York Sun. 1t abhors straight line
like nature abhors a vacuum. 1t goes
on the basis that the longest way around
is the sweetest way home and takes
about 2000 miles to cover a distance a
crow could make in 1000.
1t is fond of playing practical jokes on
the towns along it's banks. Sometimes a
flourishing river town wakes up in the
morning and finds itself 10 miles from the
river and afterward has to turn its en-
ergies to some other line of industry until
the river in one of its restless moods goes
back again.
At Slough Neck Landing. at the Ten
nessee- Kentucky state line, the govern
ment is spending half a million dollars
to prevent the river from making cut
off and leaving New Madrid 10 miles in
land. The OK bow bend there is 80 miles
around and only mile across the heels
The real reason for the expenditure oil
so large a sum, however, is not to save
New Madrid so much as 1t is to keep the
river from cutting through the levees
Every time a cutoff occurs the river
shortens itself by from 10 to 30 miles
Mark Twain figured it out that if that
process had been going on Tor few
thousand years the Mississippi river used
to stick out over the Gulf of Mexico like
a fishing cane. The river is not continu-
ally shortening itself, however, for wher
it cuts through a bend it Immediately
starts to cut out another bend as Ions
as the first. 1t tries to maintain its
regimen.
There is one place above Memphis
where the river runs upstream for about
two miles 1t was formerly thought thai
the only thing certain about the river
was that 1t would always flow dowr
stream, bat even that rule was broken al
Island No. 81. BY series of cut-offs the
river is again occupying the old channel
but it is flowing in the opposite direction
from what it did formerly.
One of the most peculiar things about
the river was figured out by govern
ment engineer. He says that it would be
possible for a man to take a light canoe
at Greenville, Miss, and by floating down
stream 40 miles and portaging four times
he would find himself 40 miles upstream
from where he started
There are, four or five bends above
Greenville which are 30 to 40 miles around
and only a mile or two across. The mer
could float down stream to the narrow
part of the neck, portage across and float
back in the opposite direction to the mar
row neck of the next bend. He woult
find that by floating always down stream
he would still be up the river from where
he started.

MINISTER TAKES AN
UNUSUAL METHOD TO
IMPRESS HEARERS
Presents Drama Sermon" Entitled,
"a Fight For Life in Effort to
Teach the Lesson of Sex
Hygiene

Cambridge. Mass, January Am un-
usual way of impressing his congre-
cation was taken tonight by Rev. Aus
tin T. Kempton, of the Broadway Bap-
tist church, who presented from the
platform what he called drama SER
mon" entitled "a Fight for Life" The
sermon sought to bring home vividly
lessons of sex hygiene.
The platform was arranged to sus-
gest a physicians reception and oper-
ating room. The pastor impersonated
four characters. a doctor and three pa
tients. The church was darkened and
a spotlight was thrown on the platforms.
Mr.. Kempton made one change of
osstume, appearing after a brief inter-
costume, appearing after brief inter-
surgeon. No attempt was made at
Characterization, except in depicting
the terror of a sinful man for whose
recovery the doctor held out no hope.

this man, was one of the patients repre-

MILLIoNAIREs' POCKET NONE,
Carrying a Large "Roll'' Not a Hobby
With the Wealthy

AS a rule rrillionaires do not carry much
money on their persons. The pocket check
book has taken the place of currency with
them to a great extent. The personal
checks that l would send over to the
bank for my principal usually called for
two or three hundred dollars. and it wes
unusual If the sum were more than $500.
But there were times when l drew as
much currency as this for them every
two or three days, so the money did
not stay with them long. writes Sherman
Montrose in the Boston Transcript.
On one occasion $4,000 was placed in q
bank as a household checking account
and it was all spent within about six
months.
The rich men l have known have
seemed slightly more economical thar
their wives. One of them got along with
three or four business suits year, made
by Fifth avenue firm at about $50 each
and democratically rode In street car.
Perhaps this was one of the reasons why
his wife could spend thousands on hei
gowns and always take a hanson. or mo
tor car.
The one thing that millionaires do no.
stint themselves on is their table. While
those I have been thrown with drink lit
tie or nothing, their food is of the chol'
cest quality that money will buy. This
may account for the fact that all of them
have taken on weight, although none
would be called stout.
Few of them have had hobbies one
was exceedingly particular about his sta
tionery. Another used to wear his clothes
until they We're almost threadbare. One
wore a straw hat until way In October
after everybody else had put on derbie:
or fedoras you see, young man, ht
once remarked, Il can do this. And
some day when you grow rich you can
too If YOU like"
The men have cared much less for So
cial triumphs than their wives. One has
no great liking for evening clothes. al
though his wife is resplendent. at the
opera. Most rich men welcome position
for their families sake, and take great
pride in all that goes with prestige and
power.
Like their loss fortunate brothers. Tho
wealthy are usually hard workers. Where
they have inherited their money, they
have been drilled in mercantile ways be.

erty. Nearly every rich man I have evei
known has excelled IN some one pro-

and discipline ,have undoubtedly aided
them in their efforts to control and in.

DENSMORE SAYS
OWNERS OF MINES
MADE A MISTAKE
tContinued from Page One)


Federation of Miners, left Denver to-
night for Chicago, where he will dis
cuss with President Charles II. Meyer
the proposition of calling a general
strike throughout the United States
of all members of the Western Fedora
tion of Miners. Much pressure has
been brought to bear on officers of
the union to issue the general strike
call, according to Secretary Treasurer
Ernest Mills. who asserted that a vig-
orous protest has been received here
since the deportation of President
Meyer from the Calumet district.
Mr.. Mills believed that a general
strike, if called. would not be confined
to the metal workers and miners of
Michigan, but would oe general in its
broadest sense.
The calling of nationwide or state
wide strike of the Western Fedora
tion of Miners would rest with the Fed
eration's executive officers but would
be issued probably by the American
Federation of Labor at the request of
the executive board of the Western
Federation of Miners.
