ANOTHER LIKELY TO die

Patrol Is Attacked In Darkness by
Largely Superior Force and Casual
ties Result Before Assistance Can
Reach the Scene.
Brownsville, Tex, Sept. 14.-One
United States trooper was killed and
two others injured. one probably NOR
tally, when a garg of Mexican ban
dts attacked the American patrol of
seven men at an irrigation pumping
plant several miles up the river from
this point.
The soldier killed was Private
Kraft, who received a wound through
the head. Private Forney was shot
through the back and is expected TO
die. Private Walsh also was wound
ed. but his condition Is not consider
ed serious.
The firing was heard by nearby de-
tachments, who located 1t at the pump
ing plant on the Los lndios project
but assistance which was rushed to
the beleaguered men came too late to
prevent the casualties. The squad of
troopers was fired upon from the
darkness by a gang estimated at for
ty In number. II is thought that the
bandits have crossed into Mexico.
Action Expected Soon.
Washington, Sept. 1.-THE next
step in the Mexican situation will be
taken by the Pan-American conferees
as soon as arrangements can be made
for them to meet.
Secretary Lansing talked with
President Wilson on General Carran-
za's proposal to discuss international
affairs, but nothing was disclosed re-
garding the conference.
Unofficial reports have reached here
that a supplement note Is to be sent
from Carranza sources. outlining in
detail what might be made matters of
joint consideration. This would in.
clude war indemnities and guaran-
tees to foreigners.
The steamer MORO Castle has
reached Vera Cruz with a large guam
tity of war munitions for Carranza.
He is said to have placed large or
ders to prepare for an embargo on
arms by the United States.

WOMAN FINED ST, 100000.
Oklahoma Police Judge Gives Her
Ninety nine Year Sentence Besides.


Ninety nine Year Sentence Besides.
Police Judge Ed /. Williams. Mus
kogee, Okla, fined Mandy Simon. a
Creek Indian woman, $1,O00,O00 and
sentenced her 10 serve ninety-nine
years In jail. She has been In the po-
lice court virtually every week for sew
eral years.
Judge Williams said he set the fine
so high because he did not want her to
ever be at large again. The judges
actions were recorded In the record
books of the police department, and he
was supported by Chief Of Police Joe
Depew.
Mandy has been a continual pest to
the city OF Muskogee for years. said
Judge Williams. "She was always caus
ing trouble by getting drunk and dop-
ing up. Counting all the times she has
been sentenced In this court, 1 would
estimate that had she served out all
her time she would have served some
fifteen years. / viii see ( o 1t person
ally that she spends the remainder of
her days In the Muskogee city Jail"
On numerous occasions Judge VII
Hams had extended leniency to the wo-
man. Several times he got her posi-
lions and released her from jail and
once got her a home. Mandy was re-
leased by the judge on her last appear
ence In court, Aug. 16. However, she
came back to town Tuesday, got drunk
and was arrested.
Judge Williams believes he has as
sessed the largest fine ever recorded In
a municipal court, but also thinks his
action was warranted.
