BONE IN THROAT
CAUSES DEATH.
John Blake Carlton Dies From LOdgment Of
Fish Bone in ThTOat. IRtGrmemt Sum
day at West Union.

)Ol Thursday, April Il, JOhn
Blake Carlton, youngest son of
Mr.. P. P. Carlton, ate some fish
for dinner and a bone lodged In
his throat, causing his death at
Nashville on last Saturday morn
ing about $50.
John Blake was carried to Nash
vile on Monday Of last week, fol-
lowing a consultation of several
physicians, who were unable to
agree as to the cause Of the young
mans illness. While Blake said all
the time that he had a fish bone in
his throat, the physicians were un-
able from their diagnosis Of the
case TO reach a satisfactory con-
clusion, one holding to the theory
OF rheumatism of the throat, an
other abscese of the throat, and so
on. And while on the train en-
route to Nashville the place on his
throat burst, affording relief, But
Blake was very weak, as he had
taken no nourishment for more
than a week, being unable to swal-
low either solid Of liquid food.
Upon reaching Nashville he was
carried to a sanitarium and his
father returned home. Late last
Friday afternoon Mr.. Carlton re-
ceived a message that John Blake
had developed pneumonia and was
very low. Mr.. Carlton arrived at
his beside early Saturday morning
about five minutes before his
%Ga DEATH
1.-THE remains reached Dresden
Friday evening on the $50 train,
being met at the station by a
large concourse Of sorrowing
sympathizing friends, and were
carried to the Carlton home, one
mile east of town. On Sunday
afternoon funeral services were
conducted at West Union by
Brother Webb Jackson in the
presence of what was said by old
men who had been going to West
Union all their lives, the largest
assembly they ever saw there.
The house was full, with as many
more standing on the outside.
This was a testimonial to the true
sterling worth of the dead boy.
It ought to be an inspiration to
every boy who was there to SO
live that he will have the respect
and esteem and friendship of old
and young for that is what this
noble young man had done. The
large crowd attending the funeral
and interment was the very highest
compliment that could be paid
the young man. 1t showed that
John Blake had lived right; that
he had treated his companions
and all his fellows right and it
showed that they were grieved
because Of his death.
We do not say it simply be-
cause it is the rule, or because it
is customary, but we say that
John Blake Carlton was a model
young man-sober, industrious,
obedient and devoted to his father
and all his family, polite and
courteous to alive say, we say
this because it is a fact. John
Blake was born Feb. IL, 1894,
being twenty-five years, one
month and eighteen days old.
Surviving him are his broken
hsted father, step-mother, one
L lr and three sisters, and to
gUthese the Enterprise joins a
great host of friends in extending
profound sympathy.

TROOPS ORDERED
OUT Of MEXICO
New York Herald Correspondent Says War is
Certain Americans Were TTicksd.
May Attack Pershing.

Ell Paso, Texas, May S.-The
Mexican de facto government has
thrown the gauntlet down to the
United States. This afternoon Gen.
Alvaro Oregon, Mexican minister
of war, and Juan N. Amadoes,
sub-secretary of the foreign rela-
tions in Gen. Carranza's cabinet,
cody told Gen. Hugh L. Scott
and Gen. Funston that the pres
ence Of the American punitive ex-
petition in Mexico can no longer
be tolerated, and that if Gen.
Pershing is not at once withdrawn
his forces will be attacked by gov
eminent troops.
This is the end of six days Of
the conference and negotiations,
during which Gen. Obregon con.
tinually held out hope to the
American officials that he could
induce Gen. Carranza to agree to
gradual withdrawal of the Am
erican troops. During this time,
it now develops, Gen. Obregon has
been distributing his armies to the
best advantage and is now ready
to strike. He practically admitted
this to Gen. Scott and Gen, Fun.

western Railroad at $50 this after
noon.
Charged with trickery, l am in
formed that Gen. Obregon merely
laughed and made some remarks
about all things being fair in war.
War is now beyond a doubt unless
the Mexican government gets off
Of its high horse at once. Unfor-
tunately there is not the slightest
indication of this tonight.
When Gen., Oregon left the
conference he was asked as a mat
ter of form to send the American
chief of staff a written communi-
cation containing the ultimatum of
bis government. He said lie would
do this, and in Juarez tonight |
am informed that this commune
cation was written by Gen. Obre-
gon Immediately on his return and
sent to Gen. Scott by special mes
senger.
Gen. Scott and Gen. Funston
are determined on their course
from now on. The one power
that can save the situation is the
president Of the United States, and
it is doubted if he can save it with
out-a tremendous sacrifice Of the
American dignity and self respect.
There is every indication to-
night that Juarez is to be immedi-
atelY abandoned. Five trains are
in the yards of the Mexican Cen
trial, loaded with military sup
plies, and are expected to pull
out at any moment.
Gen. Pershing has his army
drawn pretty close together. He
has an abundance of ammunition
and supplies, and his men can
and will fight. There are 5000
troops in the city just aching for
a scrap, but it seems to be no
part Of the Mexican plans to have
any border action at this time.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious, as it
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly. and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to han
sic. Besides, it loosens and takes out
every particle of dust, dirt and dan
druff.

No Prospects of Ball Team.


The prospects for a baseball team
for this place are not very bright at
present and it is doubtful if Plainfield
will be represented by a worthy ball
team for the 1916 season. Nowhere in
the place is there any talk of organ
1zing a team, nor is there any enthusi-
asm shown. Last season baseball was
practically dead here, as there was no
Sunday ball, but in 1914 Plainfield was
represented by ball team worthy of
any small town. The Sunday ball
games drew large crowds who were
treated to good ball The last big
Sunday bali game was the final of a
series between Moosup and Plainf1eld
and was won by the local team by a
score of to 2. In that game there
were many notable stars of the New
London team, including Paddy Green,
who twirled for Plainfeld, Barberich,
Rock, Quinn and Marhefka- Bentley
OF the Providence international team
pitched for Moosup. The majority of
the townspeople would delight in hav-
ing Sunday baseball of a good clean
athletic sort and there is plenty Of good
material for team.
