Germany Replies.
(By United Press)

Berlin, Dec. 27.-Germany, in an
swering President Wilson's note, pro-
poses an immediate meeting of dele
gates of the belligerents at some neu-
trail spot. A formal reply was handed
Ambassador Gerard simultaneously
with the handing of Identical notes to
the American ambassadors at Vienna,
Sofia and Constantinople. Germany
holds such meeting as the "most
appropriate method to reach the de-
sired result" and hints that "the great
work of preventing future wars can
only be begun after the end of the
present struggle" She also declares
tnat '"whe nthis moment shall have
come, Germany will be ready with
pleasure to collaborate entirely with
America in this exalted task"

Mexican Situation Worse.
(By United Press)

Washington, Dec. 27.-The State De-

ing of growing unrest in northwestern
Mexico. Secretary Lanes announce
ment that he has called conference
of the American members of the joint
commission for an early date has
placed Mexico again in the limelight.
Secretary Lansing says he has infor-
nation that a large group of bandits
are on the rampage and that the "situ-
alton is such as to give the department
fresh concern" The department sus-
poets Villa of smuggling all the arms
he needs across the border. Men in
touch with the, State department are
inclined to think today'sl emphasis on
Mexican affairs is intended as prep
aration of the public for possible seri-
Gus developments.

IS SHOT BY
; CUSTOMS OFFICER

Scott Redfield, private of Troop
A, Oregon cavalry, stationed at Camp
John A. Beacon, Calexico, was shot
and it is believed fatally wounded at
I2:50 yesterday morning. His wound
was treated at the camp hospital, and
he was taken on the morning train to
Letterman hospital, San Francisco.
Late yesterday evening Rafael Her.
nandez of 149 Mary street, Calexico,
la checker in the Mexican custom
house, was placed under arrest for
the shooting. He was charged with
assault with deadly weapon, merely
to hold him until the outcome of Red
fields injuries are known. His bond.
in the sum of $4,000, with Sr. Car
rillo and Ferdinand Villasenor as sur
cites, was accepted by Justice Hoff
man and he was liberated.
Two stories, varying in detail, but
both supporting the contention that
Hernandez did the shooting, are told.
According to a statement made by
Redfield, before he was taken to the
train, in the presence of Captain
Houck and other officers of Troop A,
he had been downtown on Christmas
night until quite late. AS he was
about to return to camp, he met
friend, who informed him that he knew
a place where drinks could be bought.
at a private residence. The friend un-
dertook to direct Redfield, who, ac-
cording to his statement, mistook the
house of Rafael Hernandez for that
to which he had been directed. He
stepped en- the porch, knocked once
and stepped back, expecting to be
admitted. Instead of this, shot rang
out and he fell, severely wounded.

COUNTY JAIL VERY
POPULAR HABITAT

There are A men registered in the
county Jail and of this number two are
confined in the city Jail, 19 in the
tank room and % on the chain gang.
The normal capacity of the county Jail
will not admit of housing the entire
population, so that the number on the
road gang aids in providing hospital
ity.
Six were brought down this morn
ing from Imperial, and that adds to
the total. The sextette will likely be
held until a preliminary hearing can
be had and if bound over to the Su-

TELLS OF INJURIES
TO JACK D. Bennett

Smoking Christmas cigar without
a careful investigation nearly cost
John d. Bennett his life Sunday morn
ing.
AS it was, he escaped with a badly
cut face and slightly injured eye when
the cigar exploded. 1t was loaded
with a bomb, says the Brawley News.
Bennett stepped from his house to
his garage, and as he left the door
he called his wife's attention to his
Christmas present, which he lighted
with some difficulty.
Half a minute later the cigar ex-
ploded, cutting burrows in his face,
burning his mouth and injuring his
eye. DR.. o. B. Durham was called,
and dressed the wounds, one Of the
worst features being the presence Of
many small pieces of copper.
After the shock was over, Bennett
was weak from loss of blood, but he
was able to eat Christmas dinner with
his family yesterday.
The cigar came in an ordinary tin
tube, postmarked from the Ash Fork
branch of the Santa Fe, in Arizona,
indicating that the sender attempted
to keep his identity mystery.
Although Bennett, as one Of the I'm
perial Irrigation District directors
recently resigned, had incurred the
enmity of some political enemies, it is
not believed that they were respon-
sible for the sending of the loaded ci.
gar, some former discharged em.
ploye being believed to be responsible
for the act.

ATTEMPT TO SECURE
NEW ARTES|AN WELL

An endeavor will be made to de-
velop an artesian flow of water at Nj
land, according to reports from that
town. i'
The Southern Pacific company is
arranging to drill a well $500 feet
deep, if necessary, in the hope of
striking the subterranean strata that
underlies the east side of the valley.
At the present time rail road hauls
most of it's water from Mecca, sixty
miles away, to secure clear water for
it's locomotives.
In the early days Of the valley sew
eral attempts were made with shallow
rigs to secure an artesian flow. Water
was found, but not of quality fit for
irrigation purposes.

FAMOUS FIESTA DAYS TO Be
REVIVED At H0LTv|LLE; FINE
PROGRAM FOR NEW YEARS DAY.
Von Azhderian Is Promoter of RevivaEBoxing Bouts,
Relay Races, Baseball Game, Short Dashes, Wrest-
ling Bouts, Music, Grand Ball in Evening, Broncho
Busting, Lariat Throwing and Many Other Events.

Holtville's famous Fiesta days are
to be revived, Van Azhderian being re-
sponsible for again bringing one of
the most diversified programs ever
seen in the Valley.
In the older days the Fiesta date
in Holtville was acclaimed with great
anticipation by all lovers Of outdoor
sports.
It was common to have the choicest
rodeo stunts, a great barbecue, ath-
letic events, broncho busting, lariat
throwing, relay races and all red blood
exercises that bring thrills.
This year the old time Fiesta is to
be continued, or rather on the first
day Of January, 1917. In addition to
the usual program there will be some
innovations.
Four boxing bouts of four rounds
each are scheduled, two wrestling
bouts, tournament of gun clubs in
Imperial Valley, league baseball be-
tween Ell Centre and Holtviile and a
grand ball in the evening. However,
these are only the principal events,
as many others of lesser Importance
are being arranged.
The best boxers obtainable in I'M
perial Valley are to be secured for
the fistic events. The army camps
Imperial Valley press., 1916-12-27

lat Calexico are to be secured for tai
ent-and they have been producing
some pretty good ones down there, at
that. Bill Stewart, promoter for the
Imperial Athletic Club at Imperial, is
to be appealed for local pugs in that
city.
Two wrestling bouts and relay races
between the United States army men
and the best men available in the VAL
ley are other prominent featueres.
There are gun clubs in Imperial,
Holtville and Ell Centre, and the men,
bers of these organizations will COM
pete in blue rock shooting. A $50 prize
in the shape of trophy cup has been
offered by the Globe Grain and Mil
ling Company.
The league baseball game between
Holtville and Ell Centre is expected to
furnish one of the big moments of the
day. Both teams are going at top
speed and real diamond contest is ex-
pected.
A hundred yard dash between Wild
cat Willie, U. S. A., and the Manitoba
Mink of Ell Centro is a feature.
There will be plenty Of music and
when the days events are concluded
participants will begin grand ball
in the evening.

May Attack TampicO.
(By United Press)

FL Paso, Tex, Dec. 27.-That Villas
objective is Tampico and that he is
arranging for swift attack is indi-
Gated in reports to American officials.
Though uninformed, officials are in
clined to believe the report that Willis
tas have occupied San Luis Potosi, cut
ting off communication west from
Tampico. Some refugees say Villa
stated he intended to take Tampico and
force action against Carranza by
America. Great Britain drews fuel
oil from there and Villa thinks cutting
off this supply would cause England
to force America to take action.

New York, Dec. 27.-United Press
tabulations show Wilson elected by
89,464 votes over Hughes in popular

the Socialist candidate for president in
1912, and Henly, Prohibitionist, 71,OOO
less. The California vote showed an
increase of 62 per cent over 1912.

been shipped to Ell Centre for exhi-

1t was the duty of fair attaches to
distribute the best of the Valleys live
exhibits and they went at it in meth

hogs and selected Jersey cows and
bulls were unloaded, big crowd stand

In the industrial department mer-

Men were painting signs and erecting

Fair employees were bringing in feed
