Mount Pleasant, Pa.-Locked in his

liam Melago, a butcher, declares that
he owes his life to the tango, which he
danced continuously to keep from
freezing.
When Melago stepped into his freezer
he forgot to turn off the-check on the
automatic lock. The door clicked into
place, and he was a prisoner. His
cries and poundings failed to attract
attention, and, realizing that he would
freeze to death unless he INDUCED In
some exercise, Melago, who can dance,
began to double shuttle to the accom-
paniment of his yells for help. 1t grew
colder, and he varied his exercise by
an Irish Jig. But this was fatiguing
and he slowed into the tango, paying
special attention to the dip.
According to his story, he kept on
the move for nearly three hours, when
his wife finally heard the noise and re-
leased him.

WELL KNOWN MAN
ATTEMPTS TO
TAKE OWN LIFE

David w. Kester, aged so years, a
well known resident of Washington
township, made an attempt at suicide
yesterday morning by taking carbolic
acid. While still alive last night very
little hope was entertained for his re-
covery.
No reason can be given by his wife and
children for the rash act, as he was al
ways of a jovial disposition and enjoyed
the best of health.
He complained of a headache when he
arose yesterday morning, and his wife,
after telling him to lie down for while
went out to do some work. She was
probably absent from the hosue for
half hour. Upon her return she went
to the bed room to ascertain how Mr..
Keister felt, and found him unconcious
with four ounce bottle containing a
small amount of carbolic acid, on the
floor beside the bed.
Mrs. Kester hurriedly summoned DR..
of Wabash, and after he had
worked for several without reviving him
DIR. Cordier, of this city, was called.
The mans mouth and throat were so
badly swollen that it was impossible to
give him medicine. The physicians adj
hypodermic injections.

Attacking Torreon Proper.
FL Paso, Tex, March 26.-Rein-
forcements for the federal garrison
in Torreon, arriving in the nick Of
time, enabled General Vasquez, the
Huerta commander, to wrest from
Villas rebel army some OF the fruits
Of its victory over him. A detach-
ment of Villas army was driven from
Gomez Palacio and retired to FL Ver-
Iel, according to a dispatch received
in Juarez, said to have been sent by
villa himself. The dispatch did not
say Villas entire army had been re-
pulsed, but that the detachment which
had been left in Gomez Palacio dur
ing the Torreon attack had been dis
lodged and forced to retire The
news of the retreat was confirmed by
dispatches to United States army Off.
GERS here.
The federals are declared to be in
full pursuit of the detachment under
Villa, who is reported to have been
driven 20 miles back northward The
supposition is that when reinforce
ments arrived to relieve Torreon part
of the garrison moved out to Gomez
Palacio and made the attack while
the others were fighting off Bena-
vides' attalk on the city proper from
the east.
The last rebel advices from the
front were that Benavides had sent
a force into the city of Torreon prop
er. 1t is stated by the rebels in Jua-
rez that Benavides has two-thirds of
the rebel army with him in the at
tack on Torreon from the east, and
that the repulse OF the detachment
that had been holding Gomez Palacio
does not mean anything but the tenn
porary hating Of part OF the rebel
army.
Several dispatches we're given out
by the rebels, all to the effect that
the rebel attack against Torreon was
proving effective. One of the dis
patches said that the rebels were in
the outskirts of Torreon and that
they captured 200 federals, after kill

Irish Commands.
Dublin, March 26.-News that the
British government had repudiated
the guarantee given by the army
council to the officers Of the Irish
commands that they would not be
forced to fight against Ulster caused
a sensation in the Curragh military
camp here.
The whole question at issue be-
tween the army and the government,
which was believed to be on the road
to settlement by the action of the
army council, will, it is said, now be
reopeped
Brigadier General Cough, who
brought the signed pledge back from
London to read to his officers, can
scarcely credit the news Of the an
nouncement by Premier Asquith in
the house of commons and Viscount
Morley in the lords that the pledge
would be repudiated, as 1t was given
without the knowledge or approval of
the government.
1t is believed that when Brigadier
General Cough learns officially that
the pledge has been repudiated, that
he will resign forthwith.
