Englishman Pays, but
Collegemen Get By

1t doesn't take foreigners long to
get used to American customs and
habits, but sometimes they can't do
the same stunts that Americans can
and still keep out Of Jail. At least it
seems that way in the case of John
Sullivan of Birmingham, Eng. john
no, it wasn't John Left Bangor on
a blind baggage and was bound for
Boston, but when he reached the quiet
little Elm City at 2.30 A. M. Saturday
he fell into the hands of officer Nc
Laughlin at the station. Now it wasn't
but just few hours before that a
half-hundred college students passed
through the city, bound for the track
meet at Lewiston and they all went
via freight. They got by without fall
ing into the clutches of the law, and
from all reports landed safely in Lew
iston. So 1t goes to prove that astron-
omy, geology and rhetoric are not the
only accomplishments of a career at
the L. of M. oh, yes, poor John, he
was hailed before Judge Matthew and
was found guilty of evadng his fare
and sentenced to pay fine of s. and
costs or serve a sentence of Is days.
He was unable to pay and SO got an
other free ride to Augusta.

Villa Considering
Way to Saltillo

Torreon, May lion the speed with
which General Francisco Villa can
move his troops depends the date OF
the fall of Saltillo, according to Con-
stitutionalists in close touch with
movements at the front. With the ad-
vance guard the Zaragosa brigade, in
possession of Paredon and other brig
ages advancing rapidly, General Villa
is only As miles from his goal Those
a. miles, however, arey desert country.
The railroad from Pareaon to Saltil-
10 has been cut No one knows here
whether General Villa will wait for
its repair or march his troops across
the desert.
Such march normally would re-
ouire at least three days. put Villa, 1t
is said, has shown he IS capable Of
leaving his infantry, taking the most
efficient of his $1,000 mounted men,
hurting them across the desert in a
dash of eight hours at the most and
striking a blow before the Federals
could prepare for the attack. The
Mexican horses, seemingly scrawny
and small, are tough as whipcord and
cover an astonishing distance through
rough country at a shuffiing walk that
exhausts neither horse nor rider.
