SAY VILLA IS WOUNDED

Ell PASO, April 5.-Gen. Gui-

to be wounded.
The message was based on
stories from persons who claimed
to have seen the outlaw after he
was shot in the leg.
Carranza soldiers captured by
the Villistas, who were rescued,
said that Villa was unable to ride
his horse.
Information received this
morning from Juarez said that
Villa had been located with few
of his followers between Camar-
ago and Parral. 1t is thought he
must be within five miles of Santa

Experiments Point To
Smoking Danger To
Weak Hearted Men
BY DR. LEONARD KEENE HIRSHBERG.

perimcnts have been made to deter
mine the effects of smoking upon the
heart and blood pressure. Ten TO fif-

very slight rise of blood pressure
and q small increase of the pulse rate
and the heart beat, which quickly re-
turned to the normal.
Interesting Experiment.
DR.. Arkman's experiments extend
over three years. and have been made

beats above normal every minute
This means that the heart overexert4

in the experiment, all but two showed
extra labor of the heart.
The influence of smoking upon the
blood pressure was less certain Most
of the men suffered no change: a few
had augmented pressure, and others
had a fall in the blood tension.
For men with weak hearts to smoke
would. therefore, appear a dangerous
practice. But there seems to be little
or no lasting harm for men who are
normally sound.

Saving Wednesday Morning

The seasons run at the mill OF the
Leavenworth Lumber Co. began We'd
nesday morning with a full crew. Fires
were started under the boilers the first
of the week with the purpose to begin
saving as soon as the machinery could
be trimmed and everything gotten in
readiness for the crew to 60 to work.
The company has orders on hand fol
all the lumber it can turn out and the
demand for sawmill products grows
stronger as the season advances, so it is
reasonable to predict there will be nc
shut down from lack of demand for its
products.
Before the present stock OF logs runs
out the snow will have so far disap-
peared as to make logging possible
and all arrangements are made to keep
the mills supplied with logs thruout

Responsibilities of Trainmen

In a rear-end collision on the Great
Northern railroad some time since a
brakeman was killed His heirs sued
the railroad for damages and, altho it
was proved that his death was due to
his own fault in neglecting to flag an
approaching train, he got verdict.
That verdict has been set aside by
the supreme court of the United States
on the ground that damages. could not
be recovered for injury caused by ones
own fault. Incidentally the court re-
marked on the responsibilities of train
men as employees to whose faithful care
is entrusted the lives of all who travel
"a responsibility it may be added,
which trainmen almost universally fully
recognize and meet.
