A BROTHERLY PROPOSAL
> > =
BY George Munson
Ethel Fisher and Nora Doyle were
the two prettiest girls in Hopetown,
and Jim Seaman was the richest
bachelor. From this triangle huge
variety of situations can be con-
structed
The situation was complicated by
the fact that Jim was girI-shy. Not
a woman-hater; afraid, little, and
fearful Of making the iTTevocable
choice before he could make up his
mind. Jim had paid attention to both
Nora and Ethel. Nora Doyle was a
shy, flUffy-haired little thing, with
heart of gold. Ethel was a dashing
brunette. When Jim was with one
he liked her better; when he was
with the other he preferred the
other.

Jim?'' asked his scapegrace brother,
Harry, who had run down into the
country for few days, and inciden-

care of ITSELF" answered Jim hufiIy,
for Harry had asked him the ques-
ton that had been bOthering him 2
good deal of late.
Harry was entirely opposite to Jim
as regards character. The girls
adored Harry. Scapegrace though
he was, he was a gentleman; they
knew they could trust him to the
limit.

Fisher to become your wife, Jim, 3"

BERLIN, (via wireless to Sayvllle)
Jan. 1s.-Semi-official denial was
authorized here today Of the British
claim that Captain Franz Papen, re-
called military attache to the United
States, paid money to persons respon-
sibIe for munition factory or other
plots in the United States.
1t was denied that Won Papen ever
paid any money to Werner Horn, ac-
cused of attempting to blow up the
international bridge at Vanceboro,
Maine. The semi-official announce

"Von Papen's letters and bank ac-
counts, which were seized in violation
Of the granted diplomatic safe con-
ducts, are Of purely personal and Of
regular business character. Won
Papen never paid money to persons
connected with attempts or alleged
attempts against munitlon plants,
bridges or any American property. No
check ever was paid to Werner Horn,

Ell PASO, Texas. Jan. 1S.-Blood

| firing squad at Juarez ended the
| career Of Manuel Bacca Wales, Villa
bandit, today.
Colonel Wales was publicly exc
cuted at five a. m. The execution
took place within a few feet of sew
eral pullman cars in which American
women and children refugees were
sleeping.
Wales had been brought under
guard in day coach of the same
train. He was awakened out Of
sound sleep and informed that he
was to face the firing squad imme-
diately.
The corpse. with the rifle bullets
plainly visible, was packed in ice and

eight Is the first authentic report of
summary justice meted out to any of
the Santa Ysabel murderers.
A great man hunt was on today for
the other bandits who participated in
this massacre. Carranza soldiers
secured the Chihuahua mountains for
trace of the murderers. Americans
were confident that the task Of push
ing the bandits would be carried out
thoroughly by General Trevino, Car
rama commander at Chihuahua City.
Trevino has an American wife. He is
high bred Castilian and graduate Of
Mexico's ''West Point"
Apparently cvont1dent Of Carranza's
power to protect. them, American
colonists in northern Mexico were
not leaving the country as readily as
state department officials here de-
sired. Special trains sent into the
interior to bring the Americans out,

refugees. In scores of cases Ameri-
can women and children were put
aboard the trains enroute to. the bor
der and the men remained behind.
Valles met death calmly and with
out word of protest. He had been
known as Villas butcher" having
acted as the bandit chiefs official
executioner.
Twenty Carranza soldiers COM
manded by Captain Regenio, escorted
Wales from the train to the station
platform. One of the soldiers was
sent for stretcher. The group then
went to clunp of cottonwood trees
beside an irrigation ditch, only few
feet from the Americans asleep in the
pullmans.
