trooperz either died from their wounds,
were killed later fighting or have not
succeeded in reaching their base.
Investigation of reports that a num-
bcr of Mexican spies have been in the
cxpeditionary base camp resulted to-
day in the discharge of several Mex

While John L. johnson and family
of Elliot street were at the railroad
station Thursday to see the members
of Company l start for the mobiliza-

and stole a substantial sum of money
in bills. Mr.. johnson had son in the

When members of the family re-
turned one of them went to where the
money had been left in bills and was
astonished to find that all but s. had
been taken. Nothing else in the house
had been touched. Entrance had been
gained by unlocking the back door
of the house with the key which had
been hanging near the door. the Ioca-
ton of which was familiar undoubtedl,-

Mr.. johnson is satisfied as to the
identity of the thief and knows the ex-
act amount of money that was taken.
The next intruder will not be so sue
