SLAPPED
SEEKS DIVORCE

For nearly five years Mrs. Lima
Baker has had her face slapped
frequently and has made no COM
plant. Her husbands frequent
fits of bad temper seemed to dis
solve after he had slapped her,
and she has allowed him to use
her face as a punching bag mere
ly to preserve domestic equa-
nimity.
But on January Is of this year
Baker had the indiscretion to
slap his wife In the presence OF
a woman friend. 1t was the last
straw. Mrs. Baker left home,
got a position, and has supported
herself ever since.
Today Mrs. Baker filed suit for
divorce. She says that she can
no longer live with Baker In
peace and happiness. They were
married in Ellensburg Nov. 81,
1909, and have no children.
Baker--his full name IL George
A. Baker-is a laundryman and
is employed In Tacoma.

CO-EDS HAVE
CLOSE GALL
IN BIG FIRE
WELLESLEY GIRLS FIGHT,
FLAMES WHICH DESTROY
BIG COLLEGE BUILDING. &

WELLESLEY, Mass, March III
"A few clad in anything more
than night dresses, four hundred
girl students were driven by al
fire in the main dormitory In the
administration building OF Welles-
ley college early this morning
The structure was completely de-
stroyed. A million dollars ia the
estimated loss. The fire is be-
lieved to have started in the
chemical laboratory of the fourth
floor. Awakened by smoke, the,
girls in the third floor barely had
time to escape. All behaved with
admirable GOODNESS. The college
fire brigade, composed of girls,
aroused the students, directed the
rescues, and saved what little
property they could. The build
ing is five stories high. II con-
tanned two hundred rooms and
was emptied in three minutes.

The municipal docks cleared
$1.613.91 in the short month Of
February over all expenses.
The Municipal dock alone this

FIND NO SIGN OF
CASTILLO'S OUTLAWS

No sign Of Maxine Castfllo's outlaw
band has been discovered near Palo-
mas, Chin, according to kilograms re-
ceived from PalOmas by Gen. Benavi-
des. of the Juarez garrison. Rebel
troops garrisOning Palomas and scout
ing parties have been out looking for
the band, but have not found them. 1t
is believed in Juarez that the Castillo
group has dispersed.
Two weeks ago, Gen. Benavides or
dered the 300 men stationed at Casas
Grandes to take the Castillo outlaws
trail and stay on it until the band was
captured. The detachment has re-
turned to Casas Grandes with the word
that there is no sign Of the outlaws in

they have left the state.

Gen. Scott Assures Rebel Commander

Gen. Hugh L. Scott, commander of
the border patrol at FL Paso has
assured Gen. E. A Benavides. Of The
Juarez garrison, that he will take
every precaution to see that none Of
the federal prisoners who will be in
termed at Fort Bliss escape from the
prison camp.
"Constitutionalist" officers in Juarez
and agents in ri PasO have been of the
opinion that unless a strict guard is
kept, many prisoners will be able to
slip away and reenter Mexico to take
up arms against the rebels.
at is possible that many Of the
officers could slip away unless a strict
guard is kept" said Gen. Benavides.
s'They would probably try to re-
enter Mexico and join the federals If
we caught them they would be exc
cuted according to the rules of war,
and then there would be criticism from
the United States. We have wired to
the proper authorities in Washington
asking that every precautiOn be taken
to prevent the escape Of any of the
prisoners
at is possible that our attitude in
this matter may cause the removal Of
The federals to some interior camp,

ting back into Mexico would be mini
mixed"

Grateful Patients Tells Of
Her Remarkable Cure.

That Dr.. o. A. Young cures where
others fail is shown in the following
letter which should be read from begin
ming to end by all who are troubled with
chronic cases of long standing;
Newton. December Is. 1903.
'Dear Dr.. Young-I feel it my duty to
send you my testimony. For about six
years I have been in poor health; at
times worse than at others, but during
the summer of 1903 I failed fast. Had
dizzy spells, blind headaches, and nervous
weak spells so bad I could hardly stand
it. I lost twelve pounds in about twelve
months. It seemed to me was about
gone. had no faith In medicine for in
that six years I tried some Of what
considered the best doctors and all pat
ent medicine I heard of that related to
my case. Each doctor told me what was
the matter with me and each patent

] needed. but IN spite OF everything L
lust kept getting worse. AT last one
doctor told me an operation was neces-
sarv. I would have those bad spells
about twice a week and was not able
to do nv work at al. l saw your ad-
vertisement In the paper and went to
see you on the 4th of February, and
had a talk with YOU. You did not agree
with what the other doctors had told
me; neither did they agree. But some
wav when I talked with YOU 1 put all
confidence in you. You outlined my case
so plainly that l could understand 1t.
You remember you told me it might take
a year to cure me but that you could
do it and that was all l wanted so
began treatment. Today I weigh IA
pounds, back to my normal weight, feel
fine most of the time, but not quite
ready to stop treatment; but 1 believe
I VIII be by the time the year is up.

should find YOU and take treatment and

Success Of Red Cross.
The Red Cross has been remarkably
successful in Preside in the care Of the
wounded. OF the ESQ wounded men in
cur charge only six deaths occurred.
Two OF these were from smallpox, four
from wounds. Of these, one died as he
was brought to the little adobe mission
used as a hospital and another died in
the ambulance before he reached the
mission. The doctors and nurses have
been working day and night under ter
rifle strain. The % most dangerously
wounded are cared for in the church,
those in a less critical condition IN the
army tents.
Praises the Army.
The army can not be too highly
praised for its work and the way II
cared for the tremendous influx OF
panic stricken residents and soldiers
of Ojinaga. The army has been Of
wonderful assistance to the Red Cross
IN It's work for the wounded capt,
Louis c Duncan, of the army medical
corps, has been constantly assisting the
three Red Cross physicians and five
nurses from FL PasO.
Big Expense to Red Cross.
Since the Mexican troubles began"
continued Mr.. BickneU. the Red Cross
has been almost continuously busy at
some point on the border. In our re-
lief work during the year 1913 alone,
over $4,000 was spent by the Red
Cross society at points along the border
from Brownsville to NOgales. If moth
ing else comes Up to require further
expenditure the cost Of the care OF the
wounded and refugees at Preside will
amount to $4,000.
I'VE expect that within two weeks we
will be able to bring all Of the wounded
to Fort Bliss and wind up our work at
Preside"

From FL PasO Mr.. Bickneu leaves to-
day for Denver and Chicago. ana Will
then return to his headquarters at

from Washington to supervise The
work of the relief of the flood suffer-
ers at Houston. from there he went to
Laredo to look after the work being
done for the wounded Mexicans and
