artillery duel the Constitutionallsts
have approached 50 near Tampico that
their shells are dropping into he out
skirts of the city. They are advancing
slowly. for the Fe'ieras are fighting
them for every inch from the west, north
and south.
The Felcrals apparently have fallen
back from their outer fortitications. bur
have not yet reached their strongest de-
fenSve works. which are on the edge
Of the city.
There are no Americans or other
foreigners in Tampico now. The small
boats AMI launches of the warships
made their laS excursion NJ the
day and brought away with them every
foreigner they could find, including all
the COnsus. All are now safe on board

iricts. ana from that they judge that

The great anxiety felt by foreigners
hero is as To the fate Of the Americans
and other foreigners who were re-
ported hcmmed in fifty or sixty miles
up tine Panuco River. Some of those
who arrived here give the number of
these Foreigners as 100.
A fleet of small boats which re-
turned from trip OF rescue up the
river on Wednesday said they had
been unable to find single foreigner
anywhere The anxiety Is due to thu
fear that these Americans and Others
have either been slain or have beer
driven further into the Interior. There
Is no particular fear of Ill treatment

After having exhausted all other
resources and tried In vain to get
some clue to her husbands where

appealed to The Intelligencer to aid
her in her search for her missing
husband and to assist in restoring
him to his home and family. Accord
ing to Mrs.. Martin her husband has
been gone for seven weeks and wheth-
er or not there has been foul play of
some sort she does not know. She
Is alarmed, as are the friends and rel
atives OF Mr.. Martin, and an exhaus-
tive search OF the country is now be-
ing planned.
Mrs. Martin presented a pathetic

Ing for their father. of how sick one
OF the little fellows is, and OF how
he calls constantly for daddy" to

It seems that Mr.. and Mrs. Martin
lived on Crayton street in Anderson
ana that Mr.. Martin first worked for
the Brissey Lumber Company and
then for the Barton Lumber COMPANY.
They moved to- this city last Christ
mas aud had been happy and content
ed here until the head OF the house

grew smaller and smaller and no new
position appeared. Mr.. Martin contin-
ually grew more and more despond-
ent. Finally. he left home one morn
ing with the announcement that he
was going to try to fird Job and he
has not been home again. The fam
lily was elected from the residence on
Crayton street because the rent was
not paid and then Mrs. Martin had to
take her children and return to her
fathers home, near Williamson.

ANDERSON HUNTERS
WERE OUT IN FORCE
BIRDS WILL SOON BE SCARCE
HERE
FIRST DAY
Many Listened 10 the Lure of the
Forest Yesterday and Every
Field Was Fairly Alive.

A stranger travelling through An
.rson yesterday would have hesitat-
ed not one moment should he have
CHANGED to pass a field. He would at
once conclude that man-hunt was
being waged or something of the kind,
because Of the fact that every piece
OF land In the entire county seemed
to be fairly alive with hunters enjoy
Ing their first day of the season. The
bird law went out Sunday.
There Is OF course, no way of get
ting the correct figures, but it is esti-
mated upon the best figures obtain
able, that 1,033 men stayed at home
from church yesterday, upon the pre-
text OF the weather and incidentally
cleaned up their old shotguns, hunt
Ing coats and pint TASKS. This latter
to carry the bait-no, beg pardon, this
isn't fishing trip, they carry the
hasks just for the spirit of the occa-
| sion.
Within less than q week, there will
be all sorts OF stories in the newspap-
ers about tho "sad tragedy of "ii-
| ram Perkins" or someone else. whose
bead was perforated by a huntsman
who thought it was a wild turkey.
Some one else with a safety catch on
his gun will start to crawl through
the barbed wire fence and blow him
self to pieces. Others will lust uatur-
ally forget that the gun is cooked and
plug some innocent guy standing be-
hind and there will be others of tbe
various natures, all paying q toll to
the desire for hunting The fellow who
| was not drowned during the summer
by rocking the boat, will end his ca
reer with an unloaded gun.
/ open season on deer in this
State begins on September /, and
continues until January /. AS to par-
tridges and wild turkeys the open sea-
son commences on November 15 and
continues until March 18th. The open
season for doves is now on, having
commenced on August 15. 1t will con-
tinue until March. There is a law on
tho state statute which makes 1t un-
lawful for any person to cast abroad
ON any field or other land, grain or
other food. as bait for doves, for the
purpose OF hunting doves between
March 15 and December /.

Among some of the important pro-
Visions OF the hunting laws, accord
Ing to the code Of 1912, no person is
allowed to kill more than twenty-five
partridges, twenty-five doves or two
wild turkeys during any one season.
No person is allowed to hunt on lands
Of another without owners consent;
and 1t is unlawful for persons to hunt
with fire by night. This offense is
punishable Dy fine OF not more than

There is q law also against trap
