Lake county farmers are looking
askance at the prospect of open hos
~tilities with Mexico, despite the fact
that a war would probably mean an
increase in the price of grain. One
agriculturist today predicted that If
there is fighting of any duration, it
will be neXt to impossible to hire a
sufficient number of harvest hands
and corn pickers to handle an aver
age crop, regardless of the wages Of
fered. The farmer told that it had
been his experience that a large part
of the men who come here each year
for the harvest are possessed of an
Unborn desire to keep moving from
place TO place, and that it would. in
all probability. be those men who
would be among the first to volun-
teer for service in Mexico. The av-
erage wage paid harvest hands in
this locality now is $3.50 a day and
board.

RENDERS Decision
COMPLAINT IN RESTRAINT
AGAINST j.. A. JOHNSON IL
DISMISSED BY JUDGE.

Word was received in the city to-
day that District Judge Joseph w.
Jones. of Sioux Falls had dismissed
the action brought to restrain Com
missioner John A. Johnson from con-
tinuing as a member of the city COM
mission.
The hearing in the complaint in
protest against Mr.. Johnson's cleo
toin was held before Judge Jones in
Sioux Falls about a month ago. The
opinion was handed down by the
judge yesterday. Complaint was
made on the ground that Mr.. John
son had illegally influenced voters,
by stating that If he was elected to
a seat on the commission he would
accept only $500 a year for his serv-
ices, which Is $3.50 less than the sal
airy commissioners in Madison are
entitled to draw. Mr.. Johnson took
his seat on the commission upon the
occasion of the second weekly com
missioners' meeting after his cleo
ton, May 8.
F. l.. Soper, attorney for Former
Commissioner Jacob Kundert, the
plaintiff, said today that an applica-
tion would be made at once to have
the notice amended, and hal IL the
application is ~disallowed. an appeal
will be taken to the supreme court.

BETRAYED SOLDIERS
CD DOWN FIGHTING
UNDER GUISE OF FARLEY, MEN
ICAN OFFICERS HAS AMERI-
CANS SURROUNDED.

San Antonio, Tex, June 24.-The
two troops of the Tenth cavalry un-
der Capt. Charles t. Boyd were prac-
tically wiped out by the attack of
Mexican forces under Gen. Gomez at
Carrizal, June 81, according to indi-
cations given in "fragmentary reports
received by Gen. Funston from Gen.
Pershing today.
Gen. Pershing's message stated
that seven survivors in all, including
those who arrived last night. have
reached the main column. All were
enlisted men, but the report did not
say whether there were non-commis-
stoned officers among them.
According to the stories of the sur
vivors, as outlined in Gen. Pershing's
report, a mounted force of Mexicans
made a charge from the flank at the
conclusion of a parley between Capt.
Boyd and Gen. Gomez, at the same
time that a machine gun opened fire
from the front as Gen. Gomez reach
ed his lines.
Capt. Boyd had ordered his men TO
dismount as the machine gun opened
fire and the combined effect of the
Mexican charge. the machine gun
fire and the rifle fire from the Mex
lean garrison of Carrizal. which had
almost surrounded the little Ameri-
can force under cover of the parley
sought by Gen. Gomez to discuss
whether Capt. Boyd should be al
lowed to pass through the town, stop
ped the horses. No details were
made known to Gen. Pershing as to
whether the Mexican charge was
checked.
With their mounts gone, caught
without means of escaping, ringed
about on three sides with the fire of
an overwhelming force, the fate of
the little detachment is believed by
officers here to have been sealed. 1t
is declared that only the most stu
pendous effort, backed by desperate
valor, could have extricated Capt.
Boyd's men from the trap.
The reports from Mexican sources
place the number killed, including
two officers, at from twelve to forty.
1t is reported seventeen were taken
captive into Chihuahua City.

RUSH IMPROVEMENTS
SEWER PIPE ARRINES-RESOLU-
TION FOR LEAD CONNEC-
TIONS TO BE PASSED.

With a view to paving Egan ave
nue., from Seventh street to the Mil
waukee tracks, between Second and
Third streets. and East Seventh
street, from Egan avenue to Wash
ington avenue, this fall, if possible,
necessary preliminary improvements
to Egan avenue will be made with
out delay, it was said today by city
officials.
Four carloads of pipe for the
storm sewer that will be laid in Egan
avenue have arrived from South
Bend, Ind, and is being distributed
today along the emu A couple
more cars of thing are on the way,
and should arrive early next week.
1t is said that Con Donovan, who has
the contract for digging the trenches
for the sewer, will start a force of
men digging as soon as possible,
probably next Monday, and that the
pipe will be installed as rapidly as
the %excavating is completed.
Mayor George H. Waskey said this
morning ma the city commission, at
its regular monthly meeting, next
Monday night, probably would pass
a resolution, providing for lead wa
ter pipe connections to all lots on
that part Of Egan avenue to be
paved. The law would become eff
fective after having been advertised
for thirty days. The statutes provide
that in ease the new connections are
not made by the property owners
within unreasonable length of time,
they may be installed by the city and
charged to the property.

TO "OUR BOY JOHN"
"a beautiful tribute from the Rich
mond News Leader.l

"a beautiful tribute from the Rich
mond News-Leader.)
John Drinard was only fifteen and
an apprentice boy in the News-L Lead
er composing room. 1t was his bust.
ness to assemble the "takes" from
the linotype machines, to "pul" the
proofs and to set some of the heads.
AS men measure industrial achieve
ment, little John was tiny cog in Il
great, high-pressurc machine. Yet
there is not man on the staff of
the News-L Leader who does not feel
that the plant runs less smoothly and
less happily this afternoon because
our little apprentice boy met his death
yesterday in treacherous hole in
Swift creek. The real measure of Il
man is not what he does but how he
does it. In the great democracy of
Heaven the prince outranks the pau
per only when his heart is purer, his
purpose higher and his devotion is
greater. The man who turns little
wheel with faith and zeal and gives
his best to each days task is greater
far than he who leads an army forth
and fails to consecrate his all to his
appointed work. And so it was our
little boy John ranked high. He was
his fathers son in energy, trustworth-
mess and mind. He was devoted to
the glorious craft he had begun and
he performed the humblest task with
patience never weary and with en-
thusiasm that never tagged. Had
he lived he would have been a great
printer. But we loved John in the
News-Leader Office not less for what
he was than for what he promised to
be. We loved him, above all else, be-
cause he never lost his smile. Wheth-
er you saw him in the early morning
while the men were waiting for the
daily grind to begin, or whether you
saw him, ink-besmeared, as he stood
at his case in the last. nerve.wrack-
ing rush before press time, John had
always a smile-the smile of youth
unsullied and faith unbroken. Some
times that smile lit up the busy room
where thirty men were toiling; some
times it reached where little John
would never think and soothed pang
his own short life had not experienc-
ed. He is smiling yet, is our little
boy John, and Heaven is brighter
for that smile!
