FRIEND RELATIVES
BALk EL0PEMENT
Marshalltown Theater Owner Went
to Chicago With 16-Year-
Old Girl.

Marshalltown, Jan. 2.-Plans for
an elopment were frustrated in Chi
cago by relatives of Hardy Friend,
vaudeville theater owner here,
when Friend landed in that city
with pretty 16-year-old Hazel White,
daughter of ]. M. White, a travelling
salesman, who lives here.
Leaving a note to her parents say
ing they would find her body in the
Iowa river, Miss White and Friend
left Marshalltown last Friday night
on late train.
Arriving in Chicago, Friend took
Miss White to the home Of relatives,
where he sought aid in securing a
marriage license. The relatives re-
fused to aid Friend, and telegraphed
his father, A. M. Friend
The elder Friend went to Chicago,
sat down on the matrimonial inten-
tions of the young couple. and yes
terday Friend and the girl were
brought to Marshalltown.
Miss Whites parents have con-
sented to marriage here, but up to-
day the wedding bells have not rung.
Friend came into the limelight
last summer when he accused Mrs.
Gladys Wayne Perkins Devendorf. a
Des Moines vaudeville performer OF
having stolen his $3.50 diamond
ring. Mrs. Devendorf claimed that
Friend had given her the ring. Suits
and counter suits followed, with the
final result that Friend received his
ring.

SCENES EN-

Dead and Dying Scattered Over
Field Near Ojin-
FIGHT NEARING AN END.
Federal Army on Verge Of Fleeing
Across Border, Is
Belief.
FIGHT NEARING AN END

Presidio, Tex, Jan. 2.-The north
ern division of the Mexican federal
army at Ojinaga with it's eleven
generals, other officials and about
1000 soldiers, after a merciless
three days attack by General Orte-
gas 5000 rebels, last night appear
ed to be on the verge of fleeing in
disorder across the river into the
United States.
The ending of the Ojinaga battle,
attended by the most horrifying
scenes of dead and wounded soldiers
witnessed on the border in the pres
ent Mexican revolution was declared
to have only one possible result, the
momentarily expected flight of the
whole federal army to American SOIL
With line of struggling wound
ed at the border to indicate the ex-
tent of the carnage and disasters
already appalling in numbers, Maj.
M. A. McNamee, commander Of the
border patrol, made every plan in
anticipation of the fight.
Less than 500 cavalrymen, most
ly from the Fifteenth cavalry, form
the border patrol here. To this
small body of American soldiers
would fall the task of surrounding
and disarming perhaps 1000 foreign
soldiers, or 5000 of them if 1000
have been disabled or killed. The
ability of the American soldiers to
handle the refugees was based on
the opinion that the rebels would
pursue the federals only to the riv-
err.
1--WE expect at any time during
the fight that the greater part of
the federal army, possibly two Or
three thousand, may be forced across
the river. l have made dispositions
to disarm and hold them if this
takes place." was the message which
Mayor MaNamee, commander of
only few troops Of cavalry, sent
out yesterday. Major McNamee's
reference to two or more thousand
implied a loss in dead or wounded
of the rest of the 1000.
An estimate as carefully as could
be obtained of the wounded on both
sides was 1000. Most of the
wounded were left on the battlefield.
The less disabled succeeded in reach
ing the river and were cared for by
the Red Cross on this side.
Scores of uninjured federal de-
serters came to the river and in de-
fiance of the American patrol cross
ed with their arms. All these were
