CITY ELECTION
A HUM DINCER
INSURGENTS HAD SCALPIN(;
KNIFE WELL WHETTED
But They Failed To Land Anything
with Exception Member of
Park Board.

The city election is over, and there
are some scalps dangling-but they
are not "old ring" soaps. There was
some hustling by both side for days
before election. The opposition CEN
tered it's fire on Slocum for mayor and
Ferber for alderman of the First
ward. Slocum was not in danger at
any stage of the game, but it was
thought Charley Johnson would win
out for alderman by few votes over
Fcrber. A good vote was out in the
; First ward and when the ia votes
were counted it was found that Fer
her had nosed ahead with 66 to his
credit, while his competitor could on v
show up with 48. Slocum carried all
three wards, and won in the city over
Boardman by 6l.
| Bunday for treasurer, Gibbs for
justice. Bartlett for alderman Second
ward, Bergenthal for alderman Third
ward had no opposition, and won with
almost full vote. Whitver had close
chase for police magistrate by Pan
nebaker, but Walt showed that he
could sprint some and came out ID
votes ahead. Rcko for the park board
! won over Guy by 81 votes. Official
returns will be found on page four.
The result is vindication of the
excellent administration of Mayor
Ma'ander. No mayor of Oakes has
worked harder or done more for the
city than Malander, and in Monday 5
election he feels that his administra-
tion is endorsed. He leaves the city
in splendid financial condition at the
end Of his term. and has had no more
earnest helper in the council than the
man who is to succeed him as mayor
The Times refuses to believe there is
any detrimental ring" running cit,
affairs. On the contrary we have 6
set of men who are doing their very
best to keep the city in the fore from,
among the cities of the state.

"W In finding that the tu-

had been used contrary to the
provisions of the 1913 law;

the law been followed;
"(3) In finding that moneys in

"H In finding that q sum

farm workmen was an extrava-
giant building for only 800 acres
farm and 400 acres pasture land;

any rule of reason.
"From the testimony taken, II

Troops Defeated IN Open
ing Engagement.
FORCE OF 5000 REGULARS
ON U. S. SIDE OF BORDER
Gen. Funston to Assume Personal
Command if Territory
Is Menaced.

Maj. Gen. Funston, in command of
United States troops on the Mexican
border today reported to the War De-
partment what is probably the opening
of the battle expected at Aqua Prieta
between the Villa and the Carranza
forces Three hundred Villa troops
were attacked at Cabrillona. near Aqua
Prieta, by Carranza patrol and
forced to retreat to Anaveachi Pass,
west of Aqua Prieta.
The main Villa army camped last
night on the banks Of the San Bernar-
dino river, fifteen miles from Slauehter's
ranch. Information in the possession
of Gen. Funston led him to believe that
the army today would march to a point
twelve miles east of Aqua Prieta The
attack. he said, will probably be from
the east.
To Recross Border Today.
The position of the main Villa force
was satisfactory to officials of the War
Department for the reason that, bar
ring accidents, the entire force of Car
rama troops now being transported
through American territory will have
crossed the border to Auga Prieta be-
fore night.
Conditions at Cananea were reported
improved. Gen. Urbalejo, the Villa
commander, 1t was said. had promised
to protect railroad and copper company
property there upon the condition that
work be resumed at the earliest pos
sible moment.

Funston May Take Command.
Brig. Gen. Thomas r. Davis is in
command of the brigade, but Maj Gen.
Funston. commanding all American
forces. on the border. has informed the
War Department that he would take
personal command Of the situation at
Douglas II hostilities across the bor-
der seemed imminent.
Gen. Davis has the 11th, 17tf1, 18th.

Of the 9Th Cavalry under his command.
In addition to these troops a patrol of
cavalrymen is closely guarding the en-
tire border from Douglas to Maria,
Texas, and armed guards have been
posted at the bridges along the rail-
road from Laredo to Douglas, over
which reinforcements for the Carranza
garrison are travelling through, Ameri-
can territory unarmed, and under guard
of American troops.
American Paper Shut Down.
Tho Mexican Hearld, an American
owned daily English newspaper, was

night because 1t Is alleged to have

Der of the squad which arrested Presi-
dent Francisco I. Madero before his
assassination, had been arrested and
would be court-martialed Immediately.
The United States has asked Gen.
Carranza to issue positive orders to
military authorities in the vicinity of
Matamoras to pursue and arrest Mexl-
cans raiding into american territory,
and it is understood that such orders
will be given by the Mexican leader
The State Department has received
the protest of acting Gov. Randall of
the Villa government in Sonora against
the transportation of Carranza troops
through the United States. so that they
may join the CarranZa forces at Aqua
Prieta, to which battle is about to be
given by the Villa forces.
There will be no response to Randall,
but as the communication is under
stood to have conveyed the informa-
ton that Gen., Villa, as a consequence
of the movement of troops through
American territory, would not hold
himself responsible for the protection
of Americans. the consul at Nogales
probably will be instructed to inform
Villa officials ~that the recognition of
the de facto government will not re-
lieve them of personal responsibility
for injury to citizens of the United
States

The boards action contained num-

The board has considered carefully

such extremely opposite views as to
make impossible any common ground
between them.
''The board has endeavored In its de-

Among the cages upon which the
board has favorably acted are some
which are now the subjects of dispute
in the courts.

plies to the allies, Charles Warren, as
sistant to the Attorney General. who
came here yesterday from Washington,
left for Boston today.
Mr.. Warren conferred with United
States District Attorney Marshall They
discussed the confession of Robert Fay,
who said he was lieutenant in the
German army and admitted having
planned to disable transatlantic steam
ships, to determine what. if any, action
might be taken in Washington in con-
nection with the alleged plot.
Mr.. Warren has had charge of neu-
trality cases, and his presence in New
York, it was said. was to ascertain
whether Fay'S experiments with ex-
plosives in and around New York in
volved a plot of a wider scope.
State Warrants Issued.
The alleged conspirators have been
arrested on federal warrants and their
eral authorities, but warrants charging
IL
Daesche with violating the state laws
of New Jersey also have been drawn
and placed in the hands of the federal
authorities. These warrants accuse the
three men of having explosives in their
possession. the minimum penalty for
which is five years Imprisonment

said that for the present the cases
against the five men would rest entire
ly with the local authorities. Mr. War
rem said he came here only to famil-
iarize himself with the details of the
cases. His trip to Boston, he said, was
on personal business.
