several weeks ago and killed half Of
the gallant little band of American
troops that garrisoned the town were
captured near Laguna del Fresno,
105 miles south of the border, by the
troops under Major Langhorne and
Colonel Sibley This word was brought
here by soldiers returning on truck
trains.
Six of the Mexicans were shot as
they tried to escape. The others, num-
bering about IS, laid down their arms
and surrendered without move, ac-
cording to best reports on the affair.
These are the same MeXicans who
, captured Jesse Deemer and Monroe
Payne Americans, during the Glen
Springs and Boquillas raids. Deemer
and Payne were rescued by Major
Langhorne before the clash with the
bandits occurred.
Deemer is a white man; Payne a
negro.

were being detained there, and prom

Pushing on, Langhorne received
word of the bandits location from
friendly Mexicans at Cerro Blanco.
Closely followed by the troops un-
der Colonel Sibley, forced march
was begun. All night the horses were
pushed.
The following afternoon the Ameri-
cans sighted the bandits in a small
canyon near Freno lake. They were
resting, sprawled at full length on the
ground, their horses tethered nearby
Major Langhorne distributed his
forces quietly. Not until the Mexi
cans were completely surrounded did
of the American troopers. At given
signal the soldiers rushed out and de
manded their surrender. The Mexi
cans were dumbfounded
About dozen made dash for theil
horses. There was a rattle of fire from
American rifles and six of the Mexi
cans were killed. The rest were cowed
and surrendered without further re

Big Award Is Upheld.

In reversing the Cuyahoga county
court of appeals and affirming the
common pleas court, the supreme
court not only gave the widow of John
Haas a judgment of S25,000 for inju-
ries which he suffered when in the en-
p1oy of Theodor Kundtz, manufacturer
of school desks, of Cleveland, but es-
tablished a precedent which will help
to break down the extreme technicali-
ties of the law. The case was admit
ted ior review some months ago, and
the court was unanimous, with one ex-
ception, to reverse the appellate court.
The alleged error on which the ap-
pellate court reversed the trial court
in which the judgment was recovered,
was the Interpolation of one word in
the charge of the court. Expert testi

though the appellate court agreed that

that there were no other errors in the
trial, it reversed for the slip of the
tongue of the trial court.

Bell Company Wins.

Constituting the public utilities act
which provides for compulsory ply
sical connection of telephone com.
panies to insure service, the supreme
court held that the act is not broad
enough to compel a company to give
its service to its rivals with whom it
is competing in given territory. The
public utilities commission, the attor-
ney general and the common pleas
and appellate courts of Butler county
are sustained in the ruling which was
made in the case of William A. Shafor
versus the Cincinnati and Suburban
Bell Telephone Co. and the Public Util
tiles Commission. While Shafor was
the nominal plaintiff the real party in
interest was the Hamilton Home Tel
ephone Co., which desired to secure

is now barred. Shafor resides near
Hamilton and is Hamilton Home sub

Action Is Tanen by Won Bernstorff on
Direction From the Berlin Foreign

Which Have Occurred of Late"

Washington, May 2O.-Germany,

that the instructions were designed to
prevent plots or lawlessness on the
part of German citizens who might be
disposed to engage in such. The Ger
man government, it was said, looks
with great disfavor upon any such con
duct and desires that it's citizens shall
not engage in any undertaking in any
way outside the law.
Whether specific cases have been
brought to the attention of the Ger.
man government was not disclosed
but it was made clear that Berlin Of
