New Reports of Villas Hurt.

San Antonio, July S.-Fran.
cisco Villas reported reappear-
ance in Mexican military affairs
was followed today by the receipt
at the border of a new version of
the injuries he is supposed to
have received.
According to this latest YER
sion, Villa was shot through
both legs and only recently re-
covered enough to take command
of his men. The report that
Villa has been operating since
his recovery southwest of Parral
was transmitted to General Fun
ston from Ell Paso today, the
same report bearing the new &C
count of the nature of his
wounds.
Colonel CASTOR, commanding
the border in the Big Bend dis
trict, moved his forces in such
manner as best calculated to
prevent a raid by Villas men or
other bandits, but army men ex-
pressed little fear-that the newly
organized bandits that whipped
Carranza's troops near Jiminez
would attempt to strike the
border in any force just now.

A Narrow Escape.

1t was the old lady's first visit
to moving pictures. For a long
time she gazed in silent awe al
the wonders of the screen, where
all sorts of impossible things
took place.
Then motorcar appeared on
the screen, coming into sight, in
the distance, and racing along a
country road at about a mile a
minute straight out of the pic
ture at the audience. Catas.
trophe seemed inevitable and she
shrank back in her seat. Then.
just at the critical moment. It
swerved aside and dashed out of
sight. The old lady rose firmly
to her feet, ignoring the protests
of those behind her.
Come along, Annie" she said
to her youthful niece. 1T amt
safe here. That thing only

MR.. FORD REFUSES TO RUN
AGAINST WILSON,

The Prohibitionists, who were
counting on Mr.. Henry Ford as a
Presidential candidate, will proba-
ply be greatly disappointed to learn
that he will not accept that intended
honor. In connection with the
Presidents visit to Detroit Mr.. Ford
took occasion to say Il would not
consent to run for President against
Woodrow Wilson. He is on to the
interests and is not afraid to talk
back to them. And he has main
timed peace"
But the Prohibitionists will not be
the only people who will be disap-
pointed by Mr.. Ford's announce
ment. The Republicans have good
reason to feel little uneasy over
it. In the Republican Presidential
primaries Mr.. Ford carried Michigan
without making an effort. and hs
ran we'll in Nebraska. His declare
ton indicates that he will supper
Mr.. Wilson, and that he will do i
with considerable enthusiasm. Their
are likely to be good many Re
publicans in Michigan and othe
Western States who will follow hin
into the Wilson camp. The Gram
Old Party has been counting o
Democratic OBJECTIONS, but there
more than possibility that it wi
not be able to keep its own force
in BALTIC, Sun.

Tannery Plan a Success.

Luray, July S.-For the pur-
pose Of testing out methods for
the publication of water from
tanneries the health service Of
the Department of Agriculture
two years ago put in one Of its
plants at the Deford Tanning
Company, of Luray. This was
one Of the models Of its kind
tried as an experiment in diff
ferent parts of the United States.
and the venture will now be
closed dawn, this modern means
of purifying the waters from
such establishments having prov
ed success.
The selection of the Deford
tannery was CT account of its
proximity to " Washington, MAX
ing it necessary lor frequent
visits from officials of the Agri-
culture Department. The ex-
pertinent was primarily to put
these plants within the law, as
many of the states have stringent
laws against the pollution of
streams into which waste water
from the tanneries runs. Show
ing the purity of tile water from
the Luray tannery are many
healthy and vigorous fish which
have made their home in the
waste water from the establish
ment. The success of the local
experiment will go long way in
modifying many Of the laws now
in force in different parts Of the
United States which have been
trying to curb the wholesale dis
position of their waste waters in
nearby streams.
