by Gen. Fran cisco Villa for the past
three months, has escaped end made
his wey south toward Mexico City,
according to unconfirmed reports
received here. Through the assist

prisoner is said to have secured his
liberty, and to have reached Saltillo
ia safety. beyond the zone of Con-
stitutionslist control.
In making his escape from prison

In the Telephone Suit Will
Be Heard Next
Monday.
BIG FIGHT OPENS UP.
Special Term of Circuit Court
To Be Held For
10 Purpose.

The next step taken in the legal bat
tie seeking to force the Christian
Todd Telephone company to buy
franchise under which to operate in
this county outside of incorporated
towns will be taken in a special sit
ting of the circuit court here Mon
day. The regular term of circuit
court will adjourn to-day, but Judge
Hanbery will hear the telephone
matter on a demurrer on Monday.
The telephone company refused to
buy the franchise recently offered
for sale, claiming that there were
several provisions they could not
stand, but chiefly that the rates were
too low.
Following this the telephone COM
pany filed petition praying for
mandamus making the fiscal court
prepare and offer for salea franchise
with the terms and provisions which
they claim is just and equitable.
The county has filed demurrer to
this petition and this is to be heard
Monday.
The action is in reality test of
the question of just what power the
! fiscal courts Of the state have in
fixing rates and regulations for the
operation of public service corpora
tons in the counties. The court of
appeals has already held in the test
suit which went up from here that
the counties have the right to sell
franchises just the same as towns.
John C. Duffy, who was county
attorney when action against the tel
ephone company was started year
or more ago, has been employed to
assist Ira d. Smith, the present coun-
ty attorney, in handling the case.

Off the sharks by striking them with

merely moved out of reach and con-

so quickly did the fire break

for the fact that the whole forward
