III. r. Mcclure of the Twelfth United States
Cavalry was killed and Deputy Sheriff c.
A. Manahan was wounded in the leg II
i alleged by officers that Pizana and the
men with him fired the first shot in this
fight, which really opened the three months
of hostilties between officers and soldiers
on one side and what i said to have been
band of well organized Mexican bandits,
numbering from 400 to 500 and operating
in the brush country along the lower bor-
der in several distinct companies.
With the exception of the Los Tuletos
fight, Pizana has never been reported as
actually participating in raids, 50 far as
evidence brought out ut several preliminary
hearings held in the courts in Brownsville.
He Is generally supposed TO have made his
headquarters on the Mexican side of the
river, from where he l. alleged To have di-
rected raids, with the supposed assistance
Of Luis de In Rosa, the former Cameron
county deputy sheriff, and who until the

Colonel Quintanila said the arrest Of

of General Nenustiano Carranza who also
instructed the arrest of Luis de In Rosa,
Maureiio Rodriguez, Basilio Ramos Jr,
Augustin Garza and Domingo Arredondo.
Colonel Quintanllla said that he has no in
formation at tins time of the whereabouts
of Luis de la Rosa, but stated that he will
be arrested when found. So far as the
other men are concerned, he said, they are
not known 10 the authorities in Matamoros,
and he believed that if in Mexico they are
in other parts of the rpubhc.
Basiio Ramos Jr., one of the men want
ed, Is the man who was arrested by United

McAllen, Texas, after he had crossed from

called for an uprising in Texas and along
the Mexican border to California, the death
of all American males over the age of 16,
and the establishment of independent re-
public in territory wrested from the Amer
leans for Mexicans, Japanese and negroes.
Ramos was held to the federal grand jury
by United States Commissioner +. X.

$4,000, and at the May, 1915. term of the

Miss Harris Wins Prize

The annual declamatory contest
held at the high school auditorium
last Friday evening failed to draw out
the large crowd expected and those
who failed to go missed a good pro-
gram. Eleven contestants competed
for the prize which was awarded to
Miss Nancy Harris whose rendition of
t'The Child" pleased the judges.
Miss Vivian Flatner and Thabes
Caine were tied for first honors in the
opinion of the audience. Miss Flat
ner's rendition of "The Unexpected
Son., left little of the true situation
to the imagination. Thabes Caine
recited The Grave of the Hundred
Dead in a manner hard to improve
upon and Miss Irma Wollthan gave an
excellent portrayal of "A Second
Trial" Miss Harris had most diff
cult assignment and won first honors
on allaround high markings. All the
others who had part in the program
acquitted themselves creditably and
showed much study and thought in
preparation.

Man Dies at Hotel

Frank Waterbach, man very little
known in Morris who has made his
home at the LaGrand hotel since last
May, died suddenly at the hotel Tues
day morning from hemorrhage of the
lungs. He was coming down from
his room when the attack seized him
on the stairs. Landlord Blackney
heard the man fall and rushed to his
assistance. He was able to walk to
the ground floor where he fell and ex-
pired without making any statement.
After viewing the remains the
coroner decided an inquest was un-
necessary and the remains were turned
over to Undertaken Ringness who pre-
pared the body for burial in the pot
ter's field Wednesday. The dead man
has a sister living at Reeds Landing,
Wabasha county, who instructed that
the remains be buried here. During
the time Waterbach has lived at the
hotel he has done chores for his boarC
and was a handy man about the place.
He was about fifty years of age anC

Name on Honor Roll

The name of F. E. Danielson,
formerly of this city, appears at the
head of the roll of honor in the Janu-
ary issue of the Railroad Employees s
Safety Magazine, a publication issued
by the Great Northern railway for its
employees. The names of six men ap-
pear on the roll.
Danielson is a conductor on the
Willmar & Sioux Falls division and
is given honor for discovering that the
lower derail in pit track for protect
ing the main line at Russell was closed
when his train was passing that point,
and there were cars standing on the
track above it. The conditions that
existed at the time were dangerous,
and the interest displayed by Con-
ductor Danielson in prompt report of
same no doubt averted considerable
trouble, and possibly saved a bad ac-
cident.
Mr.. Danielson is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. j. E. Danielson, of this
city. He has been in the service of
the Great Northern at Willmar for
some time and is looked upon as one

An action in suit to recover 81, :
900 alleged property damages was
started in Morris Wednesday when
James Lawler caused papers to be
served on members of the city COM
