ARDMORE Has
CRAVE MEXICAN
SITUATION
BETWEEN THE PATRIOTIC ~
SONS WHO ARE "FLOCkING TO
THE COlORS" - ONE TRIES TO
CARVE NEIGHBoR'S WIFE.

Ardmore has a grave Mexican sit
uation at present,-one that is keep
ing the hands of the officers full the
most of their waking moments, and
often far into the night. 1t seems
that most, if not all, of the loyal sons
of the land where the hot tamale
dwelleth in all its pristine glory, have
to be summoned to the "tolors." Just
whose colors they have heen sum-
moned to, deponent sayeth not.
Whether the particular flag that they
have been asked to uphold is embel-
lished with picture OF "old whis-
kers" rampant, or floats tie "get-the-
money ey-and-loot" notices of the other
two bandits, engaged in waging war
fare in the land of the cactus and
the bull. is not clear, but this much
is certain: Most every freight that
goes through here has as passengers
from one to a dozen sun-baked indi-
vlduals who are anxious to get back
TO Mexico to die, if need be, for one
or the other leaders who have evil
IDENTITY making great promises in order
to induce the influx of native sons
back to the home soil
Ardmore's street gang at present is
by a dozen Or so of the
patriots who got as far as this sta.
tion, when the officers unloaded them
from box cars, and loaded them into
the patrol wagon and the next morn
ing put them to work on the streets,
thus OBTAINING them for a period from
Joining the horde of bandits that are
operating a little bouffe war south of
the Rio Grande.
1t is not only the patriots that the
officers have to deal with Once in
a while they find Mex with real
blood in his eye, and usually with
a wicked looking knife no his sleeve.
Such a case developed in city court
Friday, and the defendant was turned
over to the county authorities for
their consideration. II seems that one
Louis Martinez at one time was
happy married man in his little
- dobe' just over the border. His
sonora and his guitar were his daily
delight, and life was one continual
crimson sunset with friend Louie
until a serpent entered their Eden. !
Louis was Industrious, and when !
away at work, Mrs. Louis was wont
to entertain dark-eyed stranger |
with the hot blood of Castle flowing
through his veins. so, when Louis re-
turned upon several occasions, and !
beheld Mrs. Louis in the ms of the |
stranger, Mr.. Louis concluded that
there must be something radically |
wrong with his marital relations. and |
started something" in
which a big knife played prominent |
part.
Mrs Louis and the stranger were |
not long in that particular part OF the |
country They left betv cen suns. |
Louis brooded over the matter for
time and concluded to take the trail.
He did so. and they were finally To-
'ated in this city. where he coolly
informed the lady in question that
unless she returned to him there
would be a carving bee II which she
would furnish the subject TO be cary-

Miss Warren Has Narrow
Escape From Drowning

Miss Frances Warren, chief op-
orator at the Newark Telephone
Exchange, who is on a vacation at
Atlantic City, had an experience
which threatened to prove serious,
last Wednesday. Miss Warren
was enjoying the bathing when a
great wave swept her off her feet
and carried her beyond her depth.
Mr.. Parks, who was in the bath
ing party, started at once to Miss
Warren's rescue, but before he
was able to reach her the young
woman had gone under the water
a second time. A young man from
Philadelphia, whose name is un-
known, came to the final rescue
Wr. Parks was unconscious fol
bout fifteen minutes, and Miss
Warren for over an hour. 1t was
necessary for two physicians to
work with Miss Warren for sever
al hours. The young woman l:

Crowds At Fair Largest Ever

Official attendance records of
the seventeenth annual Delaware
State Fair, which came to close
last Friday night, show that this
year is far ahead Of all previous
years in that respect. The total
paid attendance, of which tabu-
lation was kept, was 3S,210, but nj
elusive of those admitted on passes
and checks would reach probably
10000, while 10000 children were
admitted free.
The official figures, of those who
were admitted upon paying the ad-
mission fee for each day, is as fol-
lows:
Monday, 3,11O; Tuesday, 3,215;
Wednesday, 1866; Thursday, 1S,
493; Friday, 1926. These include
the night attendance. The attend
ance for Thursday, as usual, was
far ahead of any other day.
No definite idea of the financial
situation resulting from the fair
can be gained yet. L. Scott Town
send, treasurer of the fair associa-
ton, states that this year the stu
alton is much better than ever;
that the entire proposition is very
we'll balanced.
) The association, Mr.. Townsend
said, is working for a greater in
terest in the event from the city OF
Wilmington, and is securing re-
suits in this line. The show of IN
dustries from this city was better
: than ever during the days JUS
passed, and is a source of encour
agement. When the merchants an'
: the people of Wilmington take a
hearty interest as is hoped tof
says Mr.. Townsend, the Delawar
y fair will be something to be re

KILLED BY
POMEROY TRAIN
Dies Instantly When Car Is
Struck

Charles Neil, employed by a
at London Grove, Pa,
was struck and instantly killed by
a train on the Newark and Pom
eroy railroad, a short distance
above Avondale about six o'clock
Friday night. The train, of which
John Poole of Newark is engineer,
was on the return trip from Pom
eroy to Newark when the accident
happened.
Neil was delivering groceries in
small automobile and tried to
cross the track directly IN front
of the train. The unfortunate
young man probably did not see
the engine until it was nearly on
top of him, as there is high
hedge right at the crossing lead
ing to farm house where he was
to deliver some groceries. His
head was crushed and one arm
rearly severed from his body. The
machine was demolished.

Proceeds From High
School Bake

Twenty-six dollars was realized
from the bake held on the Academy
lawn last Saturday by the Alumni
Association and students of the
High School. Owing to the heavy
thunderstorm it was impossible to
continue the bake in the evening
as planned, and no ice cream was
sold. The committee believe the
sum would have been practically
doubled had the storm permitted
the plans to be carried to a conclu-
sion. The proceeds will be used
in buying furniture for the new
reading room in the Academy
Anyone having bookshelves for
which they have no use will find a
splendid opportunity to place them
where they can be appreciated by
the public, by consulting the chair,
man in charge of the furnishing

press agents and delivery compan-
les have been doing a record break

days, and the restaurants and eat

greatest capacity. At the College
examinations have absorbed the
attention of the freshmen and fac
ulty for the last two days. New
rules are being applied to the en-
trants and a number of young men
have been refused admission. 1t
is believed the freshman class at

hundred and at the Women's Col
lege forty.
A number of changes have been
made at the Mems College since

FAMILY
STRICKEN

Two sons dead from scarlet
fever, five children and the father
seriously i'll with the same disease,
leaving the mother alone able to
care for them, is the dreadful ex-
perience of the family of George
Grow of Nechanicsville, three
miles from Newark. The two sons,
one nine and the other five years
of age died Saturday.
Although she has not contracted
the disease, Mrs. Crow is in an ex-
tremely weak and nervous state as
the result of nursing all the rest
of the family for several days.
For three days and nights she did
not get minute of sleep, so faith
full was she in her efforts to do
everything possible for her
stricken children and husband.
Early Saturday morning the nine
year-old son died, and late in the
afternoon another son, aged five,
became a victim. Through the as
sistance of friends a trained
nurse was secured from Whining
ton, early Saturday evening to re-
lieve Mrs. Crow.
Four other children and Howard
Messick, son of Mrs. Crow by a
former marriage, and Mr.. Crow,
are still i'll, although the Messick
boy is considerably improved. DR..
H. G.. NJ. Kollock is attending the
stricken family.
The first to contract the disease
was Howard Messick, young man
about 20 years of age. He had
= been away looking for work and
: came home i'll some days ago.
6 Scarlet fever developed and one of
, the sons, who slept with Messick,
was the next to take it. Several
6 others were soon down and Mr.
;, Grow, who is employed at local
: fibre mill, found it necessary to re
main home and assist his wife
after the family was quarantined
In a few days Mr.. Crow also con
tracted the disease and this lef

printer from Elkton, caught his
foot in the press with which he
was working. The shoe was cut
straight across, and Lusby's great

hurried to DR.. Blake who at first
feared it would be necessary to

This has been found unnecessary,
however, and Lusby is coming
