ITS PAYDAY"
ON west RANGE
SAYS LARSON
Executive Agent Of Indian De-
partment Thinks Fight Against
Federal Order Futile.
DEPARTMENT HAS
FULLY INFORMED ITSELF
Mayor Power, of Hibbing, Will
Take Charge of Case of
Liquor Dealers.

"Hibbing and Chisholm may fight
the federal order issued yesterday
closing their saloons under the pro-
visions of the Indian treaty, as long
as they like. Its payday"
This is the way Deputy Executive
Agent Larson of the United States
Indian department sizes up conditions
at Hibbing and chisholm, where yes
terday he assisted in serving notices
on nearly 100 licensed saloons to close
their doors on Nov. l under the pro-
visions of the Indian treaty of 1856.
Mr.. Larson was in Virginia last
night and while here he stated to old
friends and acquaintances his belief
that Hibbing and Chisholm retail
liquor dealers would gain nothing by
fighting the order of the federal au-
thorities. '1ts payday" was the way
Mr.. Larson laconically sized up the
situation, which is to say, that there
is small chance in the estimation of
Mr.. Larson for the liquor dealers of
the villages of Hibbing and Chisholm
to evade or delay the enforcement Of
the federal order. The government
knows what it is doing, he says.
Chisholm Would Retain Power.
Chisholm saloon men plan to retain
Mayor Power, of Hibbing, to fight
the order, according to well known
Chisholm business man in the city to-
day. He declared the mayor of Hib-
bfng would go to Duluth today to in
terview the surveyor who made the
original government survey of the In
dian country in an effort to learn
what was designated in that survey
as the East Two river, which is desig-
mated as the eastern boundary Of the
Indian country.
"Words," said the Chisholm busi-
ness man, "are inadequate to express
my indignation at this great injus-
tice, iniquity, outrage and catacylsmic
calamity which has been visited upon
our people"
Then he smiled.
~ am not speaking for publication,
however," he added hastily. "Down
: in our heart of hearts we realize that
we are closed. Litigation may delay
for q month or two the enforcement
of the order. It canont finally pre-
vent it. Then we shall have a bet
ter town than ever and we shall make
Virginia look to her laurels.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, Oct. a.
About seventy-five Mexicans at two
o'clock, attacked fifteen American
soldiers at Ole Del Aqua, = small
Mexican settlement on the American
side of the Rio Grande about six miles
from here. Three soldiers were killed,
eight wounded, and a number of Mexi-
cans were killed in an intense forty
minute battle.
The Mexicans killed in the fight
had white hat bands bearing words,
"viva Villa" Ole Del Aqua near the
river. Dense brush, which even in
the day light limits a range vision Of
ten to few feet, afforded the Mexi-
cans perfect cover as they scattered
into small groups and made toward
Mexican boundary line. The bandits
apparently failed in their purpose to
take American troops by surprise and
massacre all of them. An American
picket reported their prescnce to give
the troopers chance to take positions
for desperate resistance against
orders. The soldiers were members
of troop G, third cavalry company D
signal corps.
Sergeant Shafer commanded the en-
tire detachment, and he was killed to-
gether with Privates Joice and Nc
Connell of the signal corps. Fifteen
soldiers, fighting five against one,
against the Mexicans, who were skilled
in brush shooting, held their ground
until relief came from Mission sever
miles away, although half of them
were put out Of commission by the
time the cavalry arrived.
Some Of the Mexicans fled across
the Rio Grande into the Mexican ter
ritory when the American cavalry re-
Inducements came up. The soldiers
first attacked numbered fifteen, while
there were seventy-five in the party
Of Mexicans.
