Even pain is no longer a mental

Americans Clash With Mexicans

Ell Paso, Tex, March 24.-Army Of
ficers and people generally were high
ly excited by the receipt of news of a
clash between United States soldiers
and Mexican federals across the Dor
der near Del Rio, Tex.
Mexican Constitutionalists and fed.
erals had been fighting while the
American patrol looked on. The Con-
stitutionalists were forced to retreat
and fifty of them fled into the river
and to the United States, pursued by
a hot fire. The bullets from the fed
erals began to whiz close to the Amer
lean soldiers.
The commander of the American
forces shouted a warning to the fed
erals to cease. They fired back in
derision and turned their guns point
blank upon the cavalrymen while the
rebels were clambering ashore.
The order to fire was then given the
United States soldiers and the first
real battle, small though It was, began.
Firing lasted for fifteen minutes and
the Mexicans retreated, carrying five
who had fallen with them. The Amer
lean troops plainly showed their Ella
ton when ordered to return the fire
for it was the first time in recent
history of the border patrol that they
had been permitted to answer MeXi-
can guns.

ordinary circumstances would devOlve
upon his son. Prince Miguel and huS-
band of the former Anita Stewart. who
would thereby receive the honorary
title of queen In view Of the fact
that Prince Miguel has married wo-
man not of royal birth his claim as
pretender has been set aside in favor
of his younger brother, who is now
seven years old. Thus the hopes of
Anita Stewart of becoming queen Of
Portugal are blasted forever
This arrangement was adopted at
meeting of the BraganZaS in Vienna
and followed the announcement to all
the courts of Europe that Manuel had
renoumced his claims to the throne
upon his marriage to Princess Angus
tine of HOhenzollcrn at Sigmaringen.
Manuel thereby carried out the wish
Of his fathcr-in-law, who refused to
give his daughter under any other con
ditionS. as he feared that bloOdShed
would accompany any attempt on Man
uelS part to regain his throne, and he
did not wish his daughter to run the risk
of falling into the hands of the mob.
In so doing Manuel cut himself off
from the purse of King George. who
only recently learned the facts. The
official order depriving Manuel of his
title in England stated that it was
done on account of the internal con
ditionS in Portugal"
1t is well known that Manuel,
through his apathy in regard to regain
ing his throne, has lost the sympathy
of King Alfonso of Spain and a host
of royalists who would have been will
ing to follow his lead. These follow
ers will now flock to the standard of
the BraganZaS. There is no reason
to believe that the new pretenders to
the throne of Portugal will take any
decisive steps in the near future, as
1t is expected in many quarters that
the republic of Portugal is nearing its
end of its own accord.
Anita Stewart is the daughter of
William Rhinelander Stewart and was
married to Prince Miguel of BraganZa
on Sept II. 1909. Her mother. after
her divorce, married the late John
Henry Smith Miguel was ut the time
of the Portuguese revolution spoken of
as a substitute for Manuel.

WOMAN SHOOTS AT JUDGES
More Gun Play in Paris-Wife of High
Official PRINCIPAL

Paris, March 24-Three shots from
revolver were fired at the judges
sitting in the sixth chamber of the
palace Of justice by Nine. Lavigne de
Sainte-Suzanne, wife OF a high official
OF the ministry of the colonies. At
the moment she fired she shrieked: Il
will kill these base judges"
The shooting occurred during the
hearing Of a divorce case in which she
was a witness. One of the attorneys
had just alluded to the.despair of some
wives who were unable to obtain
justice when the woman opened fire.
The temperance before the investi-
eating magistrate OF Nine. Caillaux,
assassin of CASTOR Calmette aroused
great interest. She was taken from
the st. Lazare prison to the palace of
justice in custody Of detectives. Strong
guards were placed in the vicinity Of
the law courts to prevent demenstra-
tiOnS.

Villas Victories Confirmed.

Washington, March 24-Reports of
rebel victories preliminary to the real
battle for the possession of Torreon
were confirmed here in dispatch re-
ceived at the state department from
George c. CarOthers, its special repre-
sentative with Villa.
Mr.. Carothers practically substanti-
ated the reports from Villas head
quarters about the advance on Tor
reon.
The consular official is concerned
chiefly, it was said, with securing ade-
quate protection for foreigners durin~
the fighting at Torreon. He obtained
from Villa some time ago an agree
ment for the establishment of a
neutral zons at Torreon, but owing ia
the disinclinatiOn of the foreigners of
TOrreon to take advantage of this ar
rangement nothing has been done to
carry the plan into effect.

The Depot Girls.

In every town where railroads run
You'll find the depot girls;
Some who are frisky and tull of fun
And remind you Of pet squirrels.
Some are old and some are young,
And some are middle-a aged;
Some know how to use their tongues
Like parrot that is Gagged
Some have rats" upon the brain
Rats" quite large and brains quite
small
Some go just to see the train,
While others 60 to see it all.
Some go there to get their mail, -
Others take their male along;
Some 90 there for fear they fail
To hear their sweetheart's latest
song.
Some go there to meet their aunts. -
Knowing well they'll never come;
But, you see, 1t gives chance
To go on little bum
Some go there in broad daylight,
To be seen and see;
Others prefer the shades o'night,
When they feel more free.
Some advice I'd like to give
These wayward depot strolers"-
It's true as gospel, sure as you live,
That you'll end like all high rollers. "
The girl that seeks the love of man
VIII find it not in such place;
But, if she wishes, she surely can,
Easily find her own disgrace.
Some parents ought to take a pill
Of good old common sense"
And block the road that leads down hill,
Where troubles all commence.
And keep the girl that wear short skirts
Away from the tempter's snare,
And thus keep a lot of budding flirts
From blooming as it were.

BRIDE BOSSES LAFE
Man Who Htched First Wife With
Mules Marries AGAIN.

Liberty, Mo, March 24.-Lafe Choat.
who became infamous two years ago
when he hitched his wife with a pair

More than that he is henpecked.
The primeval brute who whipped his
wife like a horse when she fell in the
traces is as submissive as a child TO
the former Miss Nessie Evans of Kan
sas City, who since last Wednesday
has been his bride. She weighs 200
pounds. At the first sign of trouble
she put her foot down and announced
that if Choat did not behave he would
do little blowing himself alongside
some of his mules. Choat got real
