The bodies of three of the twenty
or more Mexicans that were locked up
owe night in the small frame Jail at
San Benito, we're found lying beside
the road, two miles east of town. late
yesterday. All three of the bodies
had been shot in the back. The bodies
lay side by side in a row in plain view
Of all who passed on the road.
In SanBernito, it is officially re-
ported that the Mexicans broke Jail
and we're shot while running away.
Nobody believes the Jail breaking
story, but no one has anything further
to say about the incident.
That everybody knows and what
nobody will say is, hal the Mexicans
were taken from Jail, taken to the
edge Of the town and shot.

GREAT Ignite
RESOURCES OF
NORTH DAKOTA

Ignite underlies almost all of the
western part of North Dakota. 1t is
estimated by the United States Geo
logical Survey that the State contains
the enormous amount of 697,000,00O
short tons of Ignite in beds over 3
feet thick and within 1000 feet of the
surface, and it seems probable that
there is a workable Ignite within this
limit under every section of land in
the western part of the state. It is
difficult to form an idea of a mass
containing even 100000 tons, and
hence the figures given above are
practically impossible of comprehen-
sion, but if the amount is put in the
form of a cube a better conception of
its magnitude may be obtained. The
Ignite of the State, if formed into one
mass in the compact form in which it
lies in the ground, would make a cube
S miles long, S miles broad, and S
miles high. Such a cube would cover
nearly a township Of land and would
be almost as high as the highest
mountain on the globe.
Much of the Ignite, although of
poor quality and at present only used
in a small way, constitutes a vast fuel
resource which will in time become of
great value, not only to the individual
citizens of the State but to the corpor-
ations that are seeking power for use
in manufacturing or in transportation

CORN INFORMATION

Corn that is in the milk stage will
grow, though it is not as good as ma
ture corn. It will take more care tn
cure at this stage than when mature.
The corn at this time contains a good
deal of moisture so it will mould cas-
lily. It will also suffer more in freez-
ing. The corn should be hung up or
laid UP at once SO that air can circu-
late freely. If in a room, then the
windows should be open.
Much progress that. has been made
in growing corn in North Dakota is
due to adopting and acclimating va
r%ieties. If seed is not secured from
these it will mean a setback as it will
be necessary to start over again.--N.

INVASION of the United States.

invasion of the United States.
81 am not so foolish as to think that
I could invade the United States with
my soldiers" said the general. "To
talk of Mexican soldiers going into
the United States is redi:nlous. No
Mexican will ever go there to plumber
and pillage if l can stop it. There are
bad men in every country and we are
trying to join with the United States
soldiers to exterminate them. There
will not be an uprising against the
Americans on our independence day
on this side of the river. That is GER
tain"
The most important development
along the river during the day came
in the form of a report from Captain
A. E. Anderson, commander Of Troop
B. of the Twelfth cavalry, stationed
near the Laferia pumping station. He
said the garrison Of 120 Carrau iista
soldiers that had been camped oppo-
site the pumping station moved ont u
their trenches today with cheers ard
the blowing Of bugles.
Two hours later a band of 30 armed
men, carrying two red flags, took pos
session of the entertainments and
planted the bags on the river bank in
plain view of the American troopers
on the opposite shore. 1t is believed
that the group in cludes at least some
of the bandits that took part in the
Turner ranch fight.
The Mexican authorities in Matamo-
ras were quick to retaliate on the OK
%clusion act which went into effect
along the Texas border during the
day.
AS soon as it became known in the
Mexican town that all Mexican males
were being refused admission into the
United States unless specially permit.
ted by the military, General Nafarette
Immediately put a similar order int
effect on the Mexican side, with the
result that no American will be per
mitted to enter the Mexican town I'm,
less they carry a pass from the gar

beaten by bandits, the bodies of two
more Mexicans We're found. They
had been slain during the night. Both
had been shot in the back.
The decapitated body of another
Mexican roped to a large log, f1oated
down the Rio Grande today. Soldiers
removed the body from hte river at
Fort Brown. The man had been shot
in the back.
Conservative border citizens rea.tz
that these reprisals will only tend tc
arouse the greater pitch the racial
prejudice on which the Texas revolu-
ton is based. AS a result of the kill
ing of six Mexicans, which has teen
interpreted as a "Texas receipt" TO,
the killing Of Trooper Anthony Kraft
and the wounding of three other cav
alrymen, more attacks are looked fo1
from the bandit gangs.
Other Texans, those among the
many who have slept with a gun fol
the last two months and sper many
nights searching the brush, hold that
these stern measures are the only
ones that can be employed effectively
against the type of Mexicans respon-
sible for the raids.
In expectation of further outbreaks
and in order to prevent any sudden
attacks On unprepared camps, strict
army orders were sent to all of The
outposts along the border and all the
patrols have been increased. The or
ders emanated from army headquar.
tiers here in Brownsville.
Hereafter no detail will be allowed
to go into camp for the nigh in any
position as exposed as that occupied
by the detachment that was attacke,
at the Turner ranch. The new OF
deres are that if there is no convenien
cover, near which the men can turf
in for the night, rifle pits must b
dug in a circle about the spot as t.
afford the troopers some protection il
case of sudden attack.
The military commanders have bee
supplied with Lists of the availabl
men and arms that can be called GU

Rome. May e.-Coionel Peppfno
Garibaldi returned today from the
celebrations at Quarto, near Genoa.
He told your correspondent Italy
would not move against Austria be-
fore the end CT May or early in June.
Colonel Garibaldi. who was occom-
panied by many 1talias, senator's and
other public men. said the delay was
dictated by internal and political
considerations. and sensitiveness TO
neural opinion. rather than any mil
itary motive. Austria and Germany,
he aointed nut. are utilizing the de-
along the r, rolesc frontier, and pre-
parinc large mobile army to Oppose
coastal attack toward Trieste.
ITALY win not declare war or
Austria hs said, but will force
Austria and Germany to declare war
and attack Italy, by herself attack
ing Turkey and assisting the allies in
their land operations in the Near
Easr. If Austria and Germany still
refuse TO declare war Italy will be
forced to make the declaration.
THE chief weight If the Italian

Stentian coast. There an effort will
be made It. turn the flank of the
ener.y's main army before seriously
attempting to invade the Tyrol.
THE hearty telegram of good
wishes King Victor Emmanuel sent
took off the chill caused by the news
that he would not participate in the
celebration ~ Quarto, Italy Is now
financially able to effect a complete
mobilization and To carry through a

Few signs are apparent here that

encountered by the troops in landing
near Gaba 1epe. The broken coun-
try so favored the Turks. he says
that their snipers were able to lie
concealed within few yards of the
troops as tho latter went ashore. and
their position could not be de-
terinined. These snirers. the cor
respondent says inflicted great losses,
and 1t was impossible for the allied
troops TO organize anything like a
regular attack. as the officers could
not see their men, lost In the thick
scrub. The boats conveying the troops
to the beach from the transports were
the targets of the merciless fire of the
Ottoman sharpshooters. and severe
casualties were suffered on these
craft. Some OF the boats broke away
from the lows and .'rifted cut of
control along the coast. while the
shippers kept up an incessant fire on
them. The Turks also enfiladed tho

II IL remarkahfe fact that not
since the Lusitania went down has
the President summoned a single
cabinet adviser, not even Secretary
Bryan, to talk with him. He has
taken long drives and walks alone,
preparing himself for the proposals
which he will submit for discussion
to his cabinet advisers. The Presi-
dents action Is regarded here not so
much as an exhibition of piacidity
under the most disturbing conditions
as II IL Al, evidence Of his complete
appreciation OF his personal response
biiity as trustee of the safety of
Americans abroad and their interests.
There is every reason for believing
that in the Presidents mind there is
proceeding a great struggle, the out

so firmly made up that only the most
extraordinary forces can change II.

Meantime the State Department and
the cabinet have no more inforna-
ton than the public as 10 what liz
going to be done.
The messages received here by Off
Gals today from all parts Of the coun-
try are regarded as the FIRST signs Of
what Ii expected to be a great con-
flfct between the two opposing views
that may be taken of the Liisitania
sinking. There is the human view.
which takes into consideration only
the facts that the armed forces of
Germany have been used against the
American flag. and that American
lives including those of women and
children, have been deliberately de-
stroyed or exposed to destruction by
the German operations. The other
view La the legal one, and the view
of prudence and conservatism. Justi-
fitation I'm law for the German acts
is found by those holding this view:
responsibility for their destruction Is
placed largely on the victims Of the
German operations, and finally the
danger Of the United States becoming
involved In the war Is pointed to as
proving the unwisdom OF taking any
other view.
