Lynchburg, Va. Nov. 22.--The foot
ball team Of the Lynchburg High
School Is at practice for the game to
be played here Thanksgiving Day with
the Maury High School, of Norfolk.
The team has no game in the interim.
Just now several of the best men are
on the hospital list. as the result Of
injuries received here in the game with
Roanoke High two weeks ago. and
the game last week with Woodbury.
Forest at Orange. II these men can
get back in the game the local eleven
will go into the game confident that
they can take the measure Of the
seaside eleven.
Lynchburg has defeated all Corners
in the high school class this year, and
a victory over Norfolk would give
the locals a claim to the State title,
a condition due to the fact that Nor
folk and Richmond High recently
played 90 tie game. The local team
knows Norfolk has good eleven and
will work in practice with that in
view.

villa Men blame Cara for Flight
From Capital.

FL PAso. Jan. 2S.-AlthouGn Villas
officials here and in Julrez assert they
have received official Information from
Mexico city denying the reported fiign.
Of provisional President Cara, it Is sail
to portend a complete break between
villa and Zapata.
Carranzistas say that the Zapatistas
have kidnapped Cara or forced him TO
leave Mexico city and so to Cuernavaca,
IN Zapatas stronghold, the State u
Mvreles.
Gen. Ornclas, Villas commander at
Juarez, pointed out that II Cara has
He'd to Cucrnavaca he has done a most
impolitic thing. for Cucrnavaca is only
sixty miles south OF Mexico city, and
in the event Of the capture Of the city
OF Mexico by the Carranza forces this
would isolate the provisional President
and his Cabinet from Villa and the Villa
army north of Mexico city.
Rumors Of the kidnapping OF provisional
President CARA by Zapata were general
here to-day. Cara attempted to fee north
to Aguascalentcs and join villa, but was
prevented by Zapata, who captured the
President and four OF his Ministers and
forced them to retire 20 Cuernavaca, ac-
cording to stories of CarranZistas
Vera Cruz will continue to remain the
CarranZa capital OF Mexico, according to
Carranza officials here.
Gen. Obregon at the head OF a large
force of men arrived ut a point four miles
from Mexico city this morning and eX-
pected to enter the capital to-day. accord
ing to advlces received from Carranza by
Col Gales at Aqua Prieta.
This message was relayed TO the Car
rama consulate here. IL stated that the
railway tracks from Vera Cruz to the cap
ital can soon be repaired. as they have
been but little damaged. and that food
and fuel will be rushed to the capital.
CarranZa officials asserted to-day that
Gov. Maytorena. the villa commander
IN Sonora, IS violating the agreement re-
garding neutrality In Sonora and is NOV
ing a force OF troops toward Naco, re-
pairing the railroad north from Cananel.
The agreement stipulated that the road
was to be repaired by civilians In order
that supplies might be taken to the min
ing camps.

started out.
Thurman called me back at the door
and gave me another 500. He told me
that this was just the beginning. He told
me he got 500 and Ledder had got Si0o
Then Ledder came in; he had slip or
paper in his hand like the slips they use
to wrap up packages OF money at the
bank. 1t had $500 stamped on II in red
letters.
"He showed us the slip sitting down In
chair and said, 'Ragsdale, you get $500,
Barber gets 500. Thurman gets $780, |

put the slip on the edge Of cuspidor,
struck a match to il, knocked the ashes
in the cuspdor and said, That's the way
to burn up your tracks"
Ragsdale then said that a man with y
deep voice like Lehon called up on the
