Grinnell and Vicinity.

Special to Times Republican.
Grinnel, July 3.-Some thirty veter-
ans of the G. \. r. and women of the
relief corps went to Gilman yesterday
to attend the first days sessions of the
Marshall County Veterans Association.
Most of them came back in the evening
well satisfied with their reception by
the Gilman people and with the days
recreation.
Some weeks ago word came to the
officers on police duty in Grinnell that
young man calling himself Earl
Miller and. at that time, acting as
night clerk at Hotel Monroe, was
wanted by the authorities of the In
diana reform school from which he had
made his escape. The officers placed
him under arrest but he slipped away
from them before they had succeeded
in taking him from the hotel Inc
news has recently come that he has
been taken into custody in Indiana
and placed again in the reform school.
Mr.. and Mrs. H F. Clifford, who
spent last year some $4,000 in enlarg-
ing and improving Hotel Monroe, have
announced still further interior I'M
provements which may run to couple
of thousands The lobby is to receive
new decorations and to have new 1ur-
uishings including linoleum or some
better floor covering. and the dining
room will shine with new queens"are
and silver
Rev H w. Thoreson, pastor Of the
Christian church Of this city, had a
narrow escape, as did number of 9TH
ers at the same time and place, when
a horse attached to single buggy be-
came frightened and ran amuck at
picnic gathering of the Christian
churches at Brooklyn on Tuesday last.
Eye witnesses think it little short OF
miraculous that the horse dashed so
wildly thru so large a crowd many OF
them small children, and none of them
was injured. A collision of the buggy
with an automobile wheel freed the
horse and left him to get away from
the crowd.
Miss Lena Mccarthy and her broth
er, of this city. who for a time feared
that their father had lost his life with
the sunken Lusitania but later learned
by wire that he was alive, have now
learned by letter from England that he
has nearly or quite recovered from the
shock and exposure at the time of the
sinking Of the vessel.
1t is publicly announced from an au-
thoritative source that Austin +
Haines. a Grinnell boy. one OF the
alumni of Iowa College, and formerly
one of the owners of the Grinnell Her
aid, has formed a connection in the
publishing business with ]. NJ. Pierce,

STAY At HOME FOR SIXTY YEARS
Sisters Have Spent All Their Lives on
Georgia Farm.

In the year 1885 T. NJ. McKleduf
packed his belongings and with his
wife and children left his South Caro-
lima home and emigrated TO Georgia
He settled on a farm three miles from
what was at that time broad place
in the road, but what is now Winder.

ter Of north Georgia OF family OF
seven all are dead but two girls. These
two girls have never married, never
been ten miles from the place upon
which old man Mckleduff settled and
were never inside of a railroad coach.
In 1855 Gus Adams, colored, freed as
the result of the fight between the
states, left the Stanton farm and took
up his residence on the plantation OF
McKleduff. He and his family are
there today.
Gus now owns forty-five acres OF
the original plantation, and piece by
piece the big plantation has been sold
off until about fifty acres OF the old
homestead is all that remains. These
sisters have resided on this spot OF
earth more than sixty years.
AS stay-at- homes Georgians believe
them to be the banner pair Of the
state.

eELA1ED HoNoRs FOR GREENE.
Monument to General in Revolutionary
War Unveiled at Battle Ground, N. C..

Battle Ground, N. c., July 3.-One
hundred and thirty five years after he
ed his command to victory over Cen
eral Corvallis red coats at Guilford
Court House, a monument was un-
yelled today on this famous battle
field in honor OF the memory of Gen.
Nathaniel Greene, who commanded
the Colonial forces III the South during
the latter part Of the American revo-
luton. It was in this vicinity that
the battle was fought on March Is,
1871. which resulted in such heavy
losses to CORVALLIS, the British leader,
that he was forced to retreat to
Wilmington. n. c.
Troops from the colonies of Rhode
Island, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia,
North Carolina and South Carolina
took part in the battle and today's ex-
ercises provided for the participation
of representatives Of these states, in
Guiding several governors. Both state
and federal troops participated, among
them the Kentish guards, of Green
witch, r. l., Of which General Greene
was charter member.
The monument was erected with
funds appropriated by congress in
February, 1911. and it's dedication is
the elimination of a movement begun
more than twenty years ago to honor
this revolutionary hero The bill, for
the appropriation first was introduced
in congress more than a score of years
ago and was re-introduced at every
subsequent session until its final pass
are.

Nogales. Ariz, July 3.-Altho the
Yaqui Indians Of Sonora are said to
have declared war on the United
States-at least so far as American
settlers in their region are concerned
and United States warships have been
dispatched to cope with the situation
information as to the process by
which this declaration of war was
made is still lacking. 1t is known that
the tribe retains political organiza-
ton. What appears to be an almost
mythical supreme chief reigns in the
hills above their valley and is said to
direct the actions Of the minor chiefs
who have taken groups Of the tribe
into the Mexican warfare.
The Associated Press correspondent
during a recent trip to the west coast
with Carranza learned this and num-
Der of other interesting things con-
corning the Yaquis, about whom little
true material has hitherto been pub
lished.
Altho they have been in almost con-
slant warfare since the organization OF
the Mexican nation, the Yaquis never
have been fully conquered or won over
to European civilization. But their
ilization did not assume threatening
proportions until the recent revolu-
tionary activities gave them modern
war munitions and military training.
Previously this most warlike Mexican
Indian had confined himself to guerilla
fighting. The arming of the Yaquis to
take part in Mexico's domestic quarrel
made possible their more extensive
TOW N
only the American colonists in the
Yaqui valley about Guaymas, but the
sovereignty of the Mexican race along
that rich portion of the west coast.
The Yaqui region lies few miles
inland from the important California
gulf port city of Guaymas. The In
dams years ago lost most Of their rich
agricultural lands in the valley. Their
strongholds are in the hill country
from which strong positions they make
frequent raids on the Mexican settlers
in the valley below. 1t has been only
recently that their assaults We're di-
rected against the American settlers
in the valley. who had given the In
dams profitable employment as labor
ers
The Yaqui was not considered an es-
advent Of the Constitutionalist revolu-
ton. With the separation of the Car
rama and Villa factions a struggle
began between those two parties in
Sonora state. The Indians already had
been armed and enlisted as troops in
the Constituencies army. doing the
bulk of the desperate fighting in the
contests for the towns along the Ari-
IONA Sonora border. These Indians
were considered "pacif1co." or peaceful
Yaquis. But on opportune occasions
they demanded the return Of their
tribal lands, and only would remain In
the revolution service after securing
promises from the factional leaders
For more than year. however, 1t has
become eviden, that the supposedly
fxiendly Yaqui was working in con-
junction with his wilder brother who
had remained in the hills. Arms and
ammunition In large quantities given
to the Indians enlisted IN the Consti-
tutionalist army were smuggled on the
backs Of y aauf runners into the noun
tAin passes and there were hidden. The
enlisted Indians would return after ar

New YORK. WAS the SCULPTOR.

New York, was the sculptor.
Some historians have declared Cen
eral Greene the ablest soldier of the
revolution, next to Washington. Dur
ing the latter part of the American
colonies, struggle for independence
General Greene won many victories
over the British forces in the Carolinas
with the aid of Generals Marion, sum-
ter and Pickens. 1t was after these
reverses that CORVALLIS decided to
transfer activities to Virginia. The
result was his surrender at Yorktown
on Oct. 10, 1871, which virtually ended
the war,

Advertising

when I was selling hooks and
ewes, l nev failed to advertise.
NV stock was small, my joint OBJ
scure, but my announc e m en s
proved a lure, and people came
from distant shores and passed by
all the other stores; they gladly
came to patronize a man who
doomed his hooks and eyes. My
adds were small but full of ri p
they gripped you and they held
their grip; there was no weary
waste of words, no n g & e
thrown at passing birds. wfote
them daily in my store; they were
my most important chore. Each
day l gave the folks something
new to keep my little jointin view
and aunts and sisters, mas and
dads, were always looking for my
ads. All kinds of people, counts
and cooks, came there to buy my
ewes and hooks; to see the man
whose daily spiel lent flavor to the
evening meal. And now you see
my fine retreat; my modern home
on easy street." Thus spake a
man with balmy smile, a man
who quickly made his pile; few
short years have seen him rise
from that small joint of hooks and
eyes to clipping coupons at his
ease, heap of bonds upon his
knees. Walt Mason.
