Her strategy was good. 1t was only
a second or two before John had about
300 men and boys In his wake.
He turned at the first alley and dart
ed through the first open door he
found. It happened to be the back
door entrance to a South Clark street
saloon.
Here there were few standing at the
bar. There was no cash in sight and
mixed drinks were nix. At the many
tables lining the wall, however, were
many persons of leisure, with legs
stretched out and big schooners Of
foaming "suds" in hand.
Into this serene and unrufied at
mosphere burst John and Helma. Ia
bles were overturned, chairs were brok-
en-, the "suds" were split, and the
"bos" trampled.
John ~Surrenders.
The passage proved too much for
Johns resisting powers and he surren-
dered meekly. Then Helma triumph.
antly marched him to the station,
where she lodged her complaint Of nom
support against him.
When asked to sign the complaint
Mrs. Peterson confessed some doubt
as what name she should use.

she said, "he ban Mr.. Swanson. Now

Ren1aining Americans in
 Torreon Are Coming Out

that they would not be needed probably for several days
 At the offices of the company here, however it was stated that no intimation of trouble had been received but that those in charge of the mines desired to watch the trend of events in Chihuahua before taking action.
 American employees of the mines were brought to the border early last week, after United States troops had been or dered into Mexico. The mines continued operation with Mexican employees. In an. rouncing that the return of the Amer jeans had been postponed, officers of the oony9any denied that the proposed decree of General Gales. military governor of Sonora, to cancel all concessions regu- le ting taxes and working conditions im- posed upon the companies was the cause of the delay.
 Twenty Chinese merchants of Agua Prieta forwarded to the minister of their government at Washington a memorial requesting that he take steps through diplomatic channels with Venustiano Car ranza to secure the revocation or revi- sion of General Gales decree forbdding more than four Chinese to live in one house, or prohibiting orientals from vis- iting one another for longer periods than two days and raising taxes.
 Mexicans in Agua Prieta, opposite here, celebrated today the anniversary or the birth of Benito Juarez.
 Twenty civil engineers headed by Juan Dios BojorqueZ, of the best known engineers in Mexico, arrived Sunday in Hermosillo to be scattered over Sonora to work under the direction of the state agrarian commission. All public lands will be segregated from privately owned property in readiness for the distribution among the people, promised by the com mission.
 It was announced today that town lots in Agua Prieta had been divided into three classes. In the first two substan- tial buildings must be constructed but in the third class. which will be sold at nominal price to the poor, any kind of shelter may be erected.
 Approximately 2000 acres of land, sur rounding the town, has been set aside as communal property for gardening and grazing purposes.

 preciated His Property

5000 HOMELESS AND $2,OOO,0OO IS LOST IN
 PARIS, TEXAS, FIRE
tcontinued from Page one,

s200, ,O0O The Smiley apartments in fall at cost of s3OO,OO0, were total loss
 Two national and one state bank building, the Lamar county court house, the Paris High school building and three churches also had been de- stroyed at midnight. At that hour the fire had not been controlled but with the assistance of fire fighting appa- ratus hurried here from Dallas, Bon- trains, a determined fight was being made to check the conflagration.
 It was estimated that about 5000 persons, one-fourth of the population of the town. are homeless.
 With the exception of railroad wire to Bonham, which worked only at in- tervals, all wire communication out Of Paris was destroyed early tonight.
 TANNED BY WIND
 Palatial residences in the fashion able part of the city, smaller houses in the factory and mill districts and substantial brick buildings were razed by the fire. which was famed by a brisk south wind.
 This section has been without rain for over 50 days and the frame build ings were consumed as finder. The Paris fire department, a semi-volun- teer organization, with apparatus far from being capable to combat such a conflagration, was powerless to stop the onrushing flames. Scarcity of water was also an empediment
 Just how the fire started was not known tonight. The compress, with hundreds of bales of cotton, was first consumed. The fire then spread to ad- jacent residences, built closely to- gether and of light frame construc- tion.
 It is Is blocks from the compress to the center of the business district. This distance. somewhat over a halr mile, was laid in ruins in less than an hour, the flames leaving in their wake path from one to three blocks wide. A total of 27 blocks comprised the burned area in the residence district
 Sweeping almost due north, the fire reached the public square on which large business buildings face. In these are located the exchanges of two tele- phone companies and one telegraph company. Telephone girls were forced to flee from their posts in danger of being swept into the flames.
 The chief operator of one telephone company risked her life to go back into the burning exchange to rescue the company's books and records.
