Child Brought to the Cape
From Mcclure, ILL.,, in
Serious Condition

Willie Miles the eleven-year-old
son of Lon W. Miles, of Mcclure,
ILL.,, was brought to this city yester-
day morning by. his father and DR..
C. f. Duncan.
They began their journey in an
automobile, but finding the roads too
rough for their little patient, they
abandoned the auto and finished
the trip in gasoline lunch.
The party arrived in the Cape
at about nine o'clock yesterday morn
ing and were met at the landing by
Lorberg's ambulance in which the
boy was conveyed to St. Francis
Hospital.
He was found to be suffering from
appendicitis and was operated upon
by DIR. John ID. Porterfeld, Jr.,
at one o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Although the lad had been sick
but two days his condition had be-
come very serious. The appendix
was more than four inches in length,
and was perforated in several places.
The large intestine is in a gan
Grenous condition, as was the peri

Of the right side, producing a plas-
tic peritonitis. The case is very
serious one, and ther is hut little
chance for recovery, according to the
physicians.

Reptile, Lurking Beneath
Potato Vine Buries Fangs
In Geo. Pierce

George Pierce, farmer living near
Neely's Landing was bitten by a
monster copper head snake last
Saturday while engaged in pulling
the weeds out of his potato patch.
The reptile was coiled under the
sheltering leaves of big weed, and
when Mr.. Pierce reached down to
grasp the stalk of the undesirable
plant, the cruel and poisonous fangs
were sunk into the feshy part of his
hand, between the thumb and fin
gers.
At first he could not realize that
he had been bitten, thinking that
some of the coarse fibre or a silver
had been forced through the skin.
When the reptile began to uncoil
for the purpose of crawling away, its
be seen whether the abdication of
movements were detected and Mr..
Pierce realized what had befallen
him, at once. He lost no time in
killing the serpent, which proved to be
of unusual size, measuring almost
three feet in length.
Rushing to the house which was
but short distance away, Mr.. Pierce
quickly obtained some strong strips
of cloth, and proceeded to bandage
the arm above the wrist go tightly
that circulation was virtually stopped.
He then took a sharp knife and
cut out the flesh immediately sur
rounding the bite, after which he
proceeded to suck the poison from
the wound with his mouth.

VILLA SAYS REBELS
WILL IGNORE CHANGE
Foreign Troops at Vera Cruz to
be Rushed to Capital to
Keep Peace

| BY tD'grdW 10 me IftbUttt.
Mexico City, July 10 Provisional
President Hucrta tonight sent hi,
resignation to the Mexican Congress
and urged that carly action be taken
upon it, In his statement, the dicta-
Tor stated that in abdicating he had
taken no thought of his own personal
fortunes or safety, but had decided to
quit through motives of patronism.
Amid Cries of Viva Huerta,' his
resignation was read and referred to
committee. Francisco Carbajal, the
foreign minister, is prepared to take
the oath as Provisional President
Whenever Hucrtas resignation is
acted upon.
Juarcz, Mexico, July l5.-"The
resignation Of Huerta and the naming
Of Carbaial as President will not
stop the war Carbajal won't do. -
That was the statement made tonight
by Gen. Pancho Villa, when he learn
ed that Huerta had quit.
I'VE must make our victory com
plctc" he continued. MY men are
getting ready for an advance and
Hucrta's resignation will not stop
them. think you will find that
Huerta intends to take the field.
Washington, July l5.-American
troops with marines from the German,
British and other foreign ships at
Vera Cruz will be rushed to Mexico
City to protect the capital from loot
ing and rioting that threatens the
announcement that Hucrta has alb
Dictated
1t became known today that Huer-
ta's object in repairing the railroad
between Vera Cruz and Mexico City,
is not for the purpose of getting him
self and family to safety, but to
get the American and other foreign
forces into the Capital to preserve
order and to protect the city from
abuses by the victorious Constitu-
tiOnalists.
A call for these troops will come
from Carbajal when the situation
becomes threatening. 1t remains to
Hucrta and the transfer Of authority
to Carbaial will bring order or
chaos and result in the termination
Of civil war in the Mexican Republic
On the contrary the Constitution
alists have maintained repeatedly
that they would not recognize n
person or form of government which
derives its authority from Hucrta,
Carbaial is plainly in this class.
Under the circumstances it appears
that the only way the Carbajal
government can be maintained will be
by the United States and other powers
sending armed forces to the Capital,
to check the advance OF the rebels
and to compel them to accept the
situation.
Whether this will be done, depends
solely upon the administration at
Washington. Wilson's entire ambi-
ton has been the elimination Of Huer-
Ia personally.
1t is now for him to determine
whether man to whom Huerta
turned over the reigns of the govern
ment should be eliminated or support
ed, or whether the way shall be left
open for the ConstitutiOnalists to
enter the capital and take over the
authority of the government by
sheer force Of arms.
