BORDER OFFICIALS BELIEVE THE
BANDIT CHIEF is AT GALEANA
REQUESTS FOR TROOPS.
TOWNS ASKING AID.
Many Border Settlements Make Ap-
peals for Troops to Guard Border,
But General Funston is Unable to
Comply.

San Antonio, Tex, March 1S.-No
specific report of Villas location has
been received today but everything
indicates that he is still near Ga.
leana.
BY few, it was feared that he
might make a swift movement to.
ward Chihuahua and attempt to cut
the communication lines maintained
by the Mexican government forces.
Many requests for troops at gar.
risons have been received at the de-
partments headquarters today from
villages along the border, where the
population is principally Mexican.
These appeals are based solely on
the anxiety of the residents, and not
because of any hostile acts of the
MeXicans. General Funston was un-
able to comply with these requests.

CLAIM AGENTS
CLOSED THEIR
OFFICE HERE
THE REMAINING CASES WILL BE
SETTLED THROUGH REGULAR
CHANNELS. CHIEF AGENT AND
ASSISTANTS LEFT YESTERDAY.

John Douglass, chief claim agent
for the Santa Fe railroad company,
who has been in the city since the
great explosion in September, adjudi-
eating claims, announced yesterday
afternoon that the work was so nearly
finished that the local office would be
closed and the remaining cases set
tied through the regular channels
The record established in this city
by the railroad company in settling
claims aggregating over one million
dollars has been an enviable one. Mr..
Douglass stated that he was extremely
thankful to the citizens of this city
for the manner in which they met the
great crisis and the able assistance
rendered the claim department. over.
one million dollars has been paid out
by the company and all without litiga-
tion of any sort, thanks to the com
mon sense view taken by all claimants.
When the citizens committee meets
the 2Sth OF this month, to finish what
claims remain, they will have to pass
upon but II cases and these the claim
agents believe, will be settled salts
factorily to all concerned
In all there were 1886 claims filed
46 for fatal accidents, 492 for personal
injuries, and 1898 for property loss,
when these figures are taken into con.
sideration, it is remarkable that only
II remain to be passed upon by the
committee
Mr.. Douglass and his able assistants
have done valiant service in this city,
and in leaving they carry with them
the best wishes OF every citizen for the
manner in which they have conducted
the settlement of these claims.

CITY DADS MAY
INSTALL NEW
MACHINERY
CITY ssloNERs ARE CON
sIDERING NEW MACHINERY, IN
INTEREST OF ECONOMY, AT
PUMPING STATION.

Every once in a while the city au-
thorities have the question of the
price paid for pumping the city water
up for discussion, and within the past
few months this has received more
than passing attention.
The city officials believe that the
city government is paying too much
for this service, and they have begun
an investigation as to the cost d
operating plants of other cities Of the
same size, with the result that some
Of the commissioners have come to
the conclusion that il would be in tie
interest of economy TO cancel their
contract with the Ice, Light & powcc
company and install an engine at the
city pumping station.
Commissioner Hunt was in Dallas
Friday inspecting some oil-burnins en-
gines with this object and view, and
he reports that he is more than
pleased with the demonstration. He
states that the city can install an
engine such as he describes and cut
the monthly expense Of pumping the
water almost in half Mr.. Hunt will
make his report to the mayor and
commissioners next Tuesday night at
the regular meeting. He is of the
opinion that the city will adopt his
plan and install an oil-burning engine
at once.
