FUNERAL OF ARTHUR HILL
TON-LOCAL NOTES

A special meeting of the Madison
Water District was held Thursday
evening in Fireman's hall with small
attendance of voters present. The
meeting was called to order at 7.3O
o'clock by Clerk Heald and X. c. Gray
was elected moderator. A record OF
the meeting Of the trustees Of the two
districts was read by Judge c.. 0.
Small. Among other things agreed up
on by the trustees was 16-inch pipe
line for the first Ga miles. Z. l.. Per-
kins chairman Of the Madison board
of trustees, stated that the 16-inch pipe
was strongly recommended by Engl-
neer Walter Sayer as it would give
Madison 10 pounds extra fire pressure,
where ii was most needed at cost or
$500. The increased size OF the pipe
would be Of no particular beneht to
the Arson district as the smaller IA
inch pipe would give all the pressure
ever needed. On motion of Judge Small
1t was voted TO instruct the trustees to
issue bonds to the amount of 100000,
to pay for the property purchased from
the Madison Water Co. and Madison's
part of the construction of the joint
pipe line At this time the meeting
was enlivened by spirited argument
between f.. NJ. Fletcher and F. A. Gill
man over a question OF parliamentary
law After considerable argument as
to whether or not Arson district should
be asked to pay 40 per cent. of the
$500 or the increased cost over the
14-inch construction, On motion of II.
G.. Prince it was voted as the sense If
the meeting that Arson should be
asked to do this.

RECORD
Of j. s. CAVALRY
IN VILLA HUNT

Field Headquarters, American Pun
tive Expedition in Mexico, Oct. IT,
Correspondence of The Associated
Press)-Regimental narratives of the
five cavalry regiments that partici-
pated in the hunt for Villa, which
have just been brought up to date and
submitted to headquarters, show in
detail how near the American troop
ers came to accomplish the full pur-
pose of their expedition.
They show that just after the par
raj fight, on April IL, less than a
month after the expedition had enter
ed Mexico, and Immediately prior Co
the order to withdraw northward
from the parral district, the Amer
leans had run Villa, sorely wounded,
to earth, and had cut off every ave-
nue. of his escape TO the south into
Durango.
From the beginning of the border
trouble it was to the cavalry that fell
the responsibility of dispensing the
Columbus raiders. That this task
was accomplished is evidenced by
figures showing that, of the ABS men
who raided Columbus, 400 have been
killed, wounded or captured. Full
credit is given in the narratives for
| the cooperation of other branches OF
the service, notably in establishing
advanced bases and maintaining the
line of communication, but the fact
remains that it was the cavalry that
drove Villa in headloAg, panic-strick,
