TAs TO REDUCE CITY.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, March 29.-
Grave apprehensions were aroused
here today by the report that Villa
officers have decided the defenses OF
Matamoros opposite here must be re
duced, presumably by artillery.
The probability Of artillery shells
falling in Brownsville was indicated
by the wounding Of two persons in the
residence section here yesterday by
stray rife bullets during the first as
sault on Matamoros trenches.
This assault was costly failure OF
the Villa forces, in which their losses
were officially given as 100 killed
and 400 wounded. The Carranzs
losses were 10 killed and As wounded

SPEAKER M'BR|DE
BACK FROM CARSON

Allen G. Mcbride, speaker of the
late legislative session, returned from
Carson City this morning.
Speaking of the work of the session
he said that taking 1t all in all II was
a successful session and many bene-
fetal laws were enacted. He ex-
pressed grateful appreciation for the
many courtesies extended to him as
speaker and said that not one appeal
had been taken from his decisions.
Mr.. Mcbride was presented with
three beautiful gavels, one made OF
mahogany, from the miners of Jar
bidge, one of compressed wood from
the Comstock mines, from the Nevada
University, aud one made from the
largest iig tree in America which is
In Clark county. This gavel is en-.
cased in mahogany and is bound with
two silver bands. It Ia the gift of
the Clark county delegation. He values
these mementos very highly. At the
close OF the session he was also pre-
sented with beautiful Elk charm,
set with a diamond. At the presen.
tation Of the charm democrats as well
as republicans made speeches compIi-
menting him on his fairness.
Mr.. Mcbride has been mentioned as
a likely republican candidate for con-
gress at the next session to succeed
ID. r. Roberts. He said this morn
ing, however, that he had given the
matter very little thought, that he
was more interested In the lumber
business and rsnching.

ty has suffered this winter. Accord.
Ing to word received from Park Sta
tion the heaviest snowfall was expert
enced there when two feet of the beau
uful fell. Shelton also reports q six
inch fall and Lamoille Valley FIVE.
Other sections also had good precipi.
tation and today Elko county stock
men and ranchers feel better than
they have this winter.
The snowfall in this county this
winter has been the lightest expert
enced in years and the chances were
that little grass would be found on
the cattle ranges next summer. The
fine snow last might has greatly re-
lieved the anxiet! and it seems now
that there will lie plenty of water next
year for all concerned. Hence the
delight locally.

SAYS YOUNG MEN OF
WEST ARE AMBITIOUS

e. Thomas Fortune Ryan, probably the
most prominent financier in railroad
circles in the country, paid visit to
the Sparks shops of the Southern
Pacific Company Wednesday, He Is
on his way to New York after visit
to the San Francisco exposition. Mr..
Ryan was particularly impressed with
the number of young men apprentices

like the western boy, which, he said,

At the same time the Russian fleet
made itself known, airships appeared
from the north and from the south

the city and tho Turkish and German

caused by these aerial inynGers, and
