three miles from Torreon, fell after

The railroad running east of Salt

cut by General Benayides as he NOV

The fall of Gomez Paiacio became
virtually certain when. after can

the slopes of Cerre De La Piar and
captured the water tank which
crowns It. The federals abandoned
some of theif field pieces in their
retreat and It is reported that certain

The surprise of the day to the
rebels was the arrival of federal re-
inforcements and the battle put up
by the Huertaistas in the streets of
the city.

portions of both cities. It lies to the

SINGING coNvEN-
TION POSTPONED.


The district singing convention to
be held at Allison the first Sunday
in April has been postponed until the
first Sunday in May. for the reason
that there is sickness in the commune
ity.
This will give the different singing
classes ample time to get new books
for this year and get in good prac-
tice before the convention
The Durant class win use the Trio
Music Company's book this year
which will be ready the first or
April will keep good supply OF
these books at my office and will
furnish them to all singing classes
that desire to use these books for
this year.
There have been a number of sing
ing schools taught in this county
since the close of last years work,
and we are looking forward this year
to greet progress in vocal music,
and It is the desire of the singers
OF this county that there will be ct
least one singing school taught in
each community and will say further
in behalf of the singers. that IL you
have an all-day-singing do not for
get to give us an invitation through
the press or otherwise.
The Bryan County Singing Con-
vention will be held at Durant this
year, beginning on Friday before the
first Sunday in July. and we are all
looking forward for this to be one OF
the greatest conventions that we
have ever had.
hope that the singing teachers
will have a grand success this year.
and be successful in working up an
interest in vocal music in every
community in the county.
Respectfully.

The first step will be TO meet with

only way to accomplish this is to in

In the old countries where every

to increase yields per acre, or import

rebels under General villa, sweeping
onward after their victory at Gomez
Palaeio, were fighting Wednesday in
the very streets of Torreon, the
great objective of the campaign. ac-
cording to a. telegram received here
late today The message was from
Colonl Trevino, an official on the
staff of General Aguirreo Benayides
to his brother in this city and said
that Benavides had taken two Guar.
tells or barracks In the city of Tor
reon. The telegram added:
General Villa and General Bena-
vides have concluded to take break
fast in the plaza at Torreon."
AS the telegram did not name the
cuartels. it was matter of coniect-
ure whether they were on the out
skirts of the city or well within It.
The reference to taking breakfast
was thought by som to imply that
Benavides still had serious fighting
ahead of him to take the town.

many dead are lying where they fell

official statement of losses on either

If Trevino's private message does
not prove misleading. it is said to
show that General Villa. after his

conducted a whirlwind campaign.
beginning Friday he swept down
from the north and took Bermeiillo

STATE sUPT's REPORT.


State Superintendent Of Public In
struction R. H. Wilson. has complied
some figures as to the revenues and
apportionments of funds for, the pub
lie schools of Oklahoma that show
very healthy and pleasing growth in
the schools and in their support.
There has been steady increase in
the enumeration of pupils and in tho
revenues derived from rntaIs OF
school lands. The enumeration for
1914 is larger than for any preced-
ing year. The apportionment of
school funds will also be larger than
ever before. Less than half of the
public school land of the state has
been sold at this time The inter-
est on the unpaid notes given by pur-
chasers of this land will produce
more than twice as much revenue for
the schools next year as was received
from all sources in 1908. In addi-
tion to this, the land that has been
sold is subject to local taxation for
the support of the district schools.

times. inflicting the wounds upon the
two officers.
The story or the affair as told to
a News reporter is substantially as.
follows: Two younger brothers of
Hollands had been drinking and had
been quarreling among themselves
and swearing loudly and in general
disturbing the peace. City Police
man Kiersey had gone down to the
barn and told the boys they would
have to cut out the racket as there
was a banquet on at the hotel just
across the street. and as such con-
duct was anyway not desirable. The
boys seemed to resent the officers
remarks. but made no hostile move.
II seems that at some time previous
Kiersey and Edgar Holland had ex-
changed pistols, and as Kiersey fin
ished talking with the two boys, Ed
gar. who was himself pretty we'll in
toxicated, told Kiersey that they
would trade back guns, and that any
friendship between them was at an
end. Kiersey tried 20 reason with
him. but to no avail, and the ex-
change of guns was made The gun
which Holland returned to Kiersey
was empty, as it was found later, but
Kiersey knew nothing OF this at the
time. AS soon as the exchange was
made Holland leveled the gun he had
just received at Kiersey and with an
oath made a threat towards him.
when Kiersey grabbed the gun and
the two scuffled over the stable till
both were nearly exhausted, when
Kiersey told Holland that If he did
not desist that he would kill him.

found that the gun he had received
back from Holland was empty, and
he then loaded it all around. In a
few moments word came to him that
the disturbance at the barn was
worse than ever and taking Officer
John Simms. Kiersey returned to the
stable determined either to stop the
disturbance or arrest those making II
AS they reached the barn Holland
was at the large door. and when
Kiersey appeared Holland pulled his
gun and levelled it at the officer

Kiersey drew his gun and shot Hol-

twice more. Holland fired several
shots after he himself was shot thru

sey's arm and another which struck
