WHERE IS RANCHO VILLA?

Of all the stories told of Pancho 1 Villa and his motor car corps in the recent Mexican campaign, the tale told and verified before group of Motor as, recently, is winner in it's class. Not long since when Villas men were making an advance near Fl Toro, one of the motor trucks in the main force ran out of gasoline. A ser vice truck loaded with gasoline oil, extra tires, and a complete repair out fit was ordered Up from the rear and refilled the gas tank The march was continued and the service wagon then waited for the rear guard to come up. While the truck was thus resting in the road between the main body and the rear guard, the Federals, under Colonel Coo-Coo made an attack on the service car from the left flank. All the service squad had in the way of weapons was a sack of Bull Dur ham, a spy glass and shot gun.
 Nothing daunted, Corporal Pedro ordered the spare Firestone Tires with their steel rims, which the service wagon carried, unloaded from the truck and placed as barricade Be- hind this rubber and steel bulwark, Villas men felt safe.
 As the Federals fired, the bullets rebounded and killed Colonel Coo Coos men in great numbers; the gallant Coo-Coo himself being among the five killed or wounded, Thus weaken ed, the Fcde, als were forced to re- treat. When the rear guard came up they found the service wagon crew en- toying quiet game of Monte within the confines of the rubber rampant"
 In view of the effect this story may have had upon Villa, it is suggested that War Correspondents look behind every pile of Firestone Tires they come across, considering the possibi- lity of finding Rancho there ensconced enjoying a quiet game in safety.

MAINE DEMOCRATIC
BY 269S AFTER
EXCITING CONTEST
Curtis Defeats Governor
Haines and His Party
Wins Legislature - Three
of the -Four Congressman
Republicans.

PORTLAND, Maine, Sept. 15.-Tn one
of the closest elections the state has ever
known, the Democrats yesterday elected
Oakley c. Curtis Governor. The several
thousands OF voters who supported
Roosevelt in the 1912 election focked to
the polls yesterday to back the Repuo-
lcan ticket, but their number was not
enough to down the Democrats.
Owing to the exceeding closeness OF
the vote no one could be at all conh-
dent of the result until the last ballot
had been counted. The returns from all
the cities, towns and plantations gave
Curtis, Democrat, 5s,S77; William L.
Haines, Republican, 56,179, and Gardner,
Progressive. 17,147; Curtis plurality, 269S.
The four Congressman, Asher c. Hinds,
John A. Peters and Frank Il. Guernsey,
Republicans, and Daniel j. McGillicuddy,
Democrat, were reelected, according to
the same returns as those received in the
governorship contest. The missing towns
are too small to change the count, al
though the plurality may be reduced
somewhat.
The returns lndlcate thdt tho S''''
Gratis have made gains in the Legislature.
The representative districts reporting
have elected 46 Democrats, 42 Republicans
and Progr.ssives, just the reversal OF
the Democratic and Republican count OF
two years ago, while the Progressives at
that time reported three. The Senate ap-
pears TO be about the same as two years
ago. The House elected then was made
up of 70 Republicans, 81 Democrats and
Progressives.
The early returns favored Curtis, then
the tide turned toward Haines. but after
midnight Portland and Bangor were heard
from. and the former failed by 1000 to
keep up the pace set by the rest of the
state, while Bangor fell off completely
on Haines' votes.
