Two autos loaded with young folks
from Ely bound for the dance at
Ruth, on Thursday night experienced
some of the joys of automobling, and

did not tell all the story. However,
no great trouble was experienced I'M

ploughing through the snow, but
when the jitney came along none of
the party refused TO ride.

Total for mems division


The trustees of Brownell Hall
have not been Sinking at all in the
matter of personal subscriptions for
the $250000 rebuilding fund. There
has been much inquiry as to what
part the trustees are taking. Business
men solicited for subscriptions are
asking, What have the trustees done
personality"
The executive committee of the
/ campaign has just issued a statement
showing that already $41,850 has been
contributed by trustees and their
families toward the building fund and
toward special fund which is to
provide for all the expenses of the
campaign.
Nor is that all In addition to the
cash subscriptions made by members
of the official board, a gift of at least
$4,000 is represented in the donation
by Messrs. Charles c. George and J.
Z. George of plot of eleven acres
comprising the campus on which the
new and greater Brownell is to be
erected. This gift is not included in
the amount reported in the campaign
but experts declare the above figure
to be a conservative estimate of its
value.
1t will thus be seen that trustees
and their relatives have contributed
more than one third of the $78,934
which was reported as the total raised
to date in the quarter million effort
and this without including the land

Villa Bandits Run
All Over Vera Cruz,
Threaten Americans

That Villa bandits are ruling the
state of Vera Cruz in Mexico. steal
ing and pillaging and threatening the
lives Of Americans on every side, is
the news George S. Gould, who is
conducting a ranch in the turbulent
country, writes to his wife who was
formerly Miss Ella Armstrong,
Twenty fourth street and Indiana av-
enue, Omaha.
Gould tells in his letter of raid
by Villa bandits on Playa Vicente
the capital OF Vera Cruz. about
twenty miles from the Gould planta-
ton. This raid, he said, melted the
bandits 100000 in Mexican money
and property. Their other activities
included outrages on women and chill
dren. An American, Charles Nc
Kim Of San Francisco. was robbed
of $500 after the Mexicans had
strung him up from the limb of a
tree. He was not hung, merely tor
tured. Then he was thrown into
prison. but escaped. He is now TAX
ing refuge on the Gould ranch, which
has not been molested as yet.
Mrs. Gould had planned to go to
Mexico to join her husband for Christ
mas, but his letter warns her to re-
main at home. Vera Cruz, once re-
garded as the most sanitary city in
the world, is now the opposite, u
wrote her husband. "Typhus, small
pox and yellow fever are rampant in
the place"
