Conference. which has been considering
the question OF amusements. are adopt
ed by the committee on the state of
the church and later by the confer
ence. The report was offered to the
main committee late today, and after
an acrimonious discussion action was
deferred until Monday.
By a vote OF ten to eight, the sub
committee recommended the elimina-
tion from the Book of Discipline of the
clause prohibiting these amusements,
and offered as substitute an addi-
tional paragraph in which warning Is
made against the diversions. The ef-
feet OF the proposed change is to re-
move the absolute prohibition, but to
place the church on record as still
strongly opposed to these forms of
amusement. A min ority report was
submitted advising the retention of the
para graph as it now stands.

More Real Estate Changes

Joseph Leischner completed a
deal this week for the sale of his
fine 172-acre farm six miles east
of town to Carl Hermes for $12,-
600, or nearly $40 an acre. Mr..
Leischner purchased the place
some eight years ago and has
doubled his money on the increase
in the value of the land. The
place is we'll improved and will
make the new owner an ideal
home. Mr.. Leischner has not
decided where he will go but,
after holding a sale of his per-
sonal property next week, will
probably stop with his brother
north of Grangeville for short
time until he decides on a new
location. He will perhaps seek
a lower altitude in hopes of bene-
fitting his health. Mr.. Hermes,
who is residing on the old S. E.
Smith farm northeast of town at
present, will move onto his new
farm as soon as possible in order
to put the place in crop this
spring.
A deal was partly consummated
recently whereby Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Schmidt, of Greencreek,
sold their 160-acre farm south
east of this place to F. j. Kolbeck
for a price of $85 an acre. The
place lies just across the road
from the Kolbeck farm and has
been farmed by Mike Wirrer for
the past several years. 1t is a
valuable acquisition to the Kol-
beck farm, as is evidenced by
the price paid for it.
Mrs. H. J. Smith purchased a
lone apple tree the first of the
week from ]. V. Nash and got
two lots in the Aichlmayr addi.
ton thrown in for good measure
on the deal. The tree and the
ground which it controls is 10.

Villa Raids American TOtUn---
u. S. Troops NolU in Mexico

the citizens and troops proved
more than the Villa forces could
stand and they soon fled back
across the border, being hotly
pursued by small detachments of
mounted cavalry. The Mexicans
are reported to have made a
stand about fifteen miles from
the border and are said to have
about $500 to 5000 soldiers.
General Funston has been placed
in command of the troops on the
border and has sent 1850 men
across the line to hunt down and
capture Villa and his forces, the
instructions being to bring them
in dead or alive. News from the
front is very meager but the in
tention is to rush matters to the
utmost in order to make the cam
paign as short as possible. Cap
turing the bandits in their own
country may prove difficult but
the government is backing the
invading forces to the limit and
there will be no half hearted
measures in dealing with the
marauders.
In the meantime large forces
of infantry are being quartered
along the border to prevent rep
etitions of the Columbus affair
and to give greater freedom to
the calvary forces. The flying
squadron will also be used extern
siveiy in locating the Villa forces
and keeping our troops posted as
to their movements.
1t is not believed the Mexicans
generally will oppose the invasion
by our troops for the capture of
Villa and the campaign should
prove of short duration.
