Their Leaders in Northern
Mexico Will Stick to
Fight to the End
EVEN If DESERTED
BY THEIR SOLDIERS
Dead Soldiers Lie Unburied
on the Field Of
Battle

Oiinaga, Jan. 5.--All doubt as to tht
intention of the northern division OF tbs
Mexican federal army to defeat the
rebels or stay here until every soldier
was dead was dispelled by General
Francisco Castro. leader general of the
federal troops, and General Ynez Sal.
azar. commander of the federal volun-
teers. in interviews at headquarters to
day
The retreat of the federal soldiers
across the border to the United States
territory would be induced only by some
unexpected event, according to the com
manders, and even if all the soldiers de-
serted. the generals say they would re-
main to die at their posts.
Dead soldiers lying unburied in the
outer trenches and hundreds of living
soldiers on duty for week without
sleep were some OF the scenes witnessed
day An inspection of the frontier
village showed that few adobe houses,
used as federal forts, have been de-
inolished, but the damage to fortifica-
tions made OF dirt was minor, and so
far neither side has made material
headway, except in the drain on the fed
erals supply of ammunition.

Partially Stopped but Pieces of
Timepiece Were Driven Into

| Rutland, Jan. 5.-ln one of the strang-
est of freak accidents a gold watch car
ried by Frederick Platt, ir. son of
| United States Clerk and Mrs. + s.
Platt of North Main street, was prob
ably the means of saving his life from
a shotgun wound received late Saturday
afternoon. As it is, the boy is in the
Rutland hospital in fair way to speedy
recovery unless blood poisoning or other
complications arise.
Mr.. Platt in company with Wilfred
Beane, left Saturday afternoon for the
Mendon mountains to hunt rabbits In
the party, besides the two boys mem

Watkins. Beane, who is a son Of A. r.
Beane one of the best known hotel por-
ters in the state, discharged the gun,
the charge of which struck the watch,
driving it, case and works, into Platt's
body. Those in the party all agree that
the shooting was entirely accidental
The boys were in the neighborhood of
the Watkins camp, near the Notch
Bean was about to fire at rabbit Just
leaving its habitation when his foot
slipped and the shot struck Platt who
was standing about a foot from the
mouth of the gun, The charge hit the

Upon awakening, the room where
they slept was filed with smoke and
flames were creeping up from the floor
below In another part Of the house
lived the family of Jose Ortiz and eight
male boarders They did their best to
quench the flames but met with little
success, and the fire department was
summoned, it being understood that it
was for a chimney fire. Firemen and
one hose sled started for River street,
but before their arrival a general alarm
was turned in that brought out the
whole department. Two streams were
ployed upon the flames, but it was an
obstinate fire to fight and broke out

WOMAN'S TUMBLE
FREE FROM INJURY
Mrs. Alex. Murray of ? Bolster Place
Was Fortunate as She Dropped
About 20 Feet.

A strange admixture OF fortune and
fate was the experience of Mrs. Alex
ander Murray of 2 Bolster place as she
pitched over the railing of the second
story veranda at her home Sunday fore
noon. The MuTays occupy the second
floor of a large double tenement that
boasts a spacious piazza extending the
entire length of the south side. Mrs.
Murray stepped out of doors to talk
with neighbor. Fate stepped in at
this point and sent the woman toward
the railing. She slipped on an icy board
and before she could regain her balance,
she toppled neatly over the rail and
came down on pile of ashes and snow
some 90 feet below.
The neighbors thought the fall had
killed her. But the ashes helped to al
leviate the shock OF such a sudden blow
and two men who live nearby carried
her into the house. DIR. w. ID. Reid was
called out and other physicians, who
happened to be in the neighborhOod,
were also asked to assist in the search
for broken bones None was found and
Mrs. Murray said she believed she had
escaped any injury whatsoever. The
doctors views conceded with those of
the patient. so far as the absence of
fractures was concerned, but he advised
her to stay indoors and refrain from
work for few days. To-day Mrs. Muir
raw felt the after-efFeets of the fall in
being considerably lame. The shaking
up. however, will contine her but short
time. Eye-witnesses of the peculiar ac-
cident say the woman struck on her
side,

PUBLIC SKATING Kinks.
Plans for Them in Barre Are Being Kept
Up.

The work that was begun on the
skating rinks last year VIII be CON
tinued this year as lar as possible. Sur
veyors have been on the Lincoln field
and rink will be placed there if there
is any possibility Owing TO the small
water connections at the Lincoln school
and nearby houses it may be this par
ticulaT field cannot be flooded but every
attempt will be made. The tennis court
on Hill street viii be flooded within a
few days, according to arrangements
made lust before the first OF the year
Also the rinks in the northern part of
the city viii be flooded as far as pos
sible.
Owing to the city's preeaution in re-
serving the fire hydrants for their real
use, the flooding of the Kinks will be
made little more difficult this year,
but if the citizens of Barre are sufii-
GENTLY interested in this matter, the
city officials are very willing to put in
permanent water arrangements next
summer, whereby the free skating rinks
may be made a permanent feature of
Bar-e's winter sports
The city is furnishing iron pipe 10
reach any sicocks that can be reached
near the skating riuks and furnishes the
use of the city apparatus. scrapers, etc,
and is ready to read the meters, if there
are any, in the houses where the sill
cocks are to be used before and after
the flooding of the rinks, so that any
such bills may be paid by the city. All
the city officials are anxious that rinks
be made as far as possible and are will
ing TO use the standpipes, If feasible.
1t is not question of using the city
water. which is welcome as far as avail
able, but rather the keeping of the fire
hydrants for the purpose for which they
were intended.
These arrangements were made the
last Wednesday in 1913, but were not
published, because it was not thought
the public appeared sufficiently inter-
ested to care for specific information.

TUFTS BOYS AT vESPERs.
Lent Added Interest to Service at Con-
gregational Church.

!
Probably the largest crowd that ever
gathered in the Congregational church
met there yesterday afternoon for the
! vesper service at. 4 o'clock, when a
! splendid program of vocal and instru-
mental music was given by chorus OF
go voices, including local singers, the
Tufts college glee club and mandol'
club. Every seat in the church We ~
en-, as well as extra ones, whit.i cIW~
carried in, and the back of the audi
torium and gallery were packed with
lateeomers, who preferred to stand
through the two-hour program than to
miss mum ber Many others went away
from the church on finding all the room
taken.
The program consisted of sacred mu-
sic, three anthems by the large chorus
choir, selections by the glee club, male
quartet, the mandolin club, a sextet and
a brief address by the pastor, Rev. J. w.
Barnett. The concert was without doubt
the best of its kind ever held in the
city and the audience was enthusiastic,
only regretting that the nature of the
service prevented hearty applause. That
the young men from Tufts did real
service to the community and furnished
a rare enjoyment was appreciated by
the audience.
Previous to the main part of the pro-
gram, r. w. Francis, Tufts graduate
and now located at Lynn, Mass, gave
an organ recital of half-hour, during
which he revealed marked ability. His
work was very much appreciated. Mr.
Francis is not connected with the Tufts
musical clubs this winter, but he was
so interested in their work that he came
from Lynn expressly for the concert and
rendered splendid assistance to Mr.. La
mont, the Goddard teacher, who had
charge of the program Mr.. Francis
studied at the New England Conserva-
tory Of Music with Wallace Goodrich
and John Hermann Loud
The TUFTS musical clubs completed
their stay in Barre to-day, going to
Northfeld, where they viii render a
concert this evening on the way to re-
sumo their college work at Medford.
Their final appearance in Barre-they
participated in four concerts in three
days-was at the Xincitia club rooms
last evening, where they rendered an
impromptu program to an audience that
filed the apartments of the club in the
Blanchard building. The applause whics
demanded recall after nearly every
number. was indicative of the enjoyment
which the college boys gave the audience,
and at the end of the concert the audi
ence extended rising vote of apprecia-
tion. while the Tufts boys gave char
acteristie vocal explosions in apprecfa
tion of the hospitality accorded them
by the club during their three days N
Barre. The members of the clubs also
boarded round at various homes In
Barre, as they made this city their head
quarters while going out to surrounding
communities.
