Hearing This Morning
Especial to The Republican,

HAYDEN, June 1.-Francisco Acos-
Ia, ex-Nillista captain yesterday shot
and killed Luis Chavez, quondam exc
cutioner of Sonora state in front of the
lattcr's Nome in San Pedro. q Mexican
suburb. General Jose Maria Acosta,
returned Chavez's fire when the Mex
ican. knowing the Acostas were seek
ing his death in revenge fo- the execu-
ton of a nephew last year uncorked a
six-shooter.
The fatal encounter took place one
hour after the release of the AcOsta
brothers by Justice of the Peace Stud
ley, who had arrested them on sus-
picion, centering around their bran new
equipment Of three wagons, sixteen
head of mules and three wagons.
Revenge Motive
"He killed our nephew was the
only statement the Acosta brothers
would make when questioned by the Of
ficers. From this it is evident the
Villistas pursued revenge motive, al
though the details of the killing indi-
cate that the deed was committed in
self defense.
Luis Chavez is an employe in the
Hayden mills. He lives here with a
number of relatives Near his resi-
dence in San Pedro is that Of the moth
er of the Acostas.
Together with the Cerecer brothers,
Pancho and Jose Maria Acosta came to
/ Hayden several days ago. Their out
+t,n,. iaf 5rorc he rivaf a WINK
Gilman. They were encamped near
Winkelman, when arrested early yes
terday forenoon.
Justice Studley examined them, and
their well-told story, their good ap-
pearance and other evidences of good
standing, caused him to release them.
They rode into San Pedro, bent upon
visiting their mother. Chavez, believ-
ing they were seeking him, stepped out
of his front door and opened fire with
a 3S calibre revolver. He shot General
Acosta's horse from beneath him. Cap
tain Acosta, who had not attempted tC
join his brother in a return fusillade
when he saw the horse fall, whipped
out a six shooter and sent two bullets
into the neck of Chavez He died in
stantly.
Deputy Sheriff D. f. Rinehart o
ella county, who had accompanied
Studley to make the original arrest
had learned of the shooting. He hast
ened to San Pedro and arrested thu
Acosta brothers. They made no re
sistance.

An odd twist to the story is found il
the fact that the six shooter of Lui
} Chavez is missing. No trace has beel
r found of it, The only solution to tn
mystery seems to be that friends o

Courtesy a Bust
ness Advantage
BY E. S. REED

The stockholding directors of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
have elected Howard Elliott Presi
dent of the road. Upon taking
charge he issues a proclamation"
to all whom it concerns. The object
and aim of this circular letter is to
encourage the manifestation ofcour-
tesy by all connected in any way in
the conduct of the road and its bust
ness.
The letter is not in the nature or
spirit Of an order but rather of an
appeal to the interestand good sense
of the men. He expresses the wish
that considerate regard will be shown
by all to all-officials toward each
other and these toward all employs
and that they all, officials and en-
ployees exhibit this regard in kind
ness and helpfulness toward the
travelling public and all patrons of
the road with cheerful alacrity. He
makes it plain to all that courtesy is
valuable asset in a business way
and he aims to create a feeling of
comradeship, a fellowship among
the workers with an esprit de corps
among them, loyalty and interest
in the corporation by the exhibition
of their courteous conduct and their
readiness to work faithfully for the
road; to induce them to realize that
the success of the road is their own
pecuniary advantage.
Mr.. Elliott comes from the far
West where he had long been con-
nected with the Northern Pacific.
He had made good" in the West
and the eastern road called him here
to ''pull the N. Y, N. H. & H. out
Of the mud" This concern had long
been in difficulty, had been in the
courts for the conduct of inefficient
or delinquent officials, had some
bad wrecks with the killing of
number of passengers and was sus-
tanning many damage suits in con-
sequence. The road had business to
the limit of its capacity and faciI-
tiles yet it was claimed that it made
no money for dividends.
Mr.. Elliott brings with him the
characteristic broad-mindedness, the

Supt. Cary Praises
Local High School

The following letter gives the
views of State Superintendent Cary
on the River Falls high school de-
duced from a report made recently
by Inspector Terry:
March II, 1916.
Mr.. G. w. Jensen,
Clerk Of School Board,
River Falls, Wisconsin.
Dear Sir:
Inspector Terry has filed a re-
port Of visit to your high school on
March 18th. The report is very fav-
orable indeed. This was his first
visit for some years and he noted the
many decided changes for the bet
ter. With the fine new addition the
high school now has first class &C
commodations. In fact the district
seems to be doing everything which
can reasonably be asked to further
the best interests of the school.
The students were alert, respon-
sive, we'll prepared and in good dis
cipline. Taken as a whole you have
a strong force Of teachers. The in
spector was very much interested in
the plan of segregating the 7th and
9Th grades and also in your plan of
combining the work of your grades
with the normal school. He spent
some time in studying the grades
and saw some Of what seemed to be
unusually strong work by the grade
pupils. Taken altogether your
school seems to be we'll managed and
to be working along decidedly pro-
gressive lines in a careful way. The
report contains no suggestions for
your consideration.
Assuring you of my pleasure in re-
ceiving so favorable a report of your
school, am,
Sincerely yours.
G. P. Cary,
State Superintendent.

Army Measures
Occupy Congress
BY JAMES A. FREAR, M. G.

Party lines and politics were lost
to view last week when the Presi-
dent asked Congress for an increase
Of the regular army by $4,000 sol
diers to reach the full strength I'M
der existing law. The bill went
through both Houses with only one
vote cast against it, that by Mr..
London Of New York. Additional
men were needed on the Mexican
border and several thousand are now
over in Mexico. Some suggestion
was made that the National Guard
might furnish the additional troops
but action taken by Congress will
meet the present emergency. 1t is
hardly likely the Guard will be call
cd upon for Mexican service.
General Charles King, now OF
Milwaukee, in letter to the writer,
saws a word about the Mexican stu
alton which | repeat, without be-
traying any confidence. He says,
eve are in for it with the Mexicans.
1t means a long and "measly' war
with a lot of mongrels, who will be
sneaking assassins one minute and
cringing, suppliant, smiling Aiming
os" the next. They are worse than
Indians. /"
Probably no better authority ex-
lists in the country than General King
who has been Inspector of the Wis
consin National Guard since his re-
tirement from the Philippine service
in the regular army years ago. He
IS loved by every member Of our
state guard
Excitement relative to the acute
European situation has quoted
down. One Of the Wisconsin men,
bers said it is now practically i'm
possible to secure passports for the
Americans crossing the sea whereas
they were freely given a few months
ago. Anything that will prevent
reckless people from embroiling this
country in foreign complications,
will be welcomed and whatever the
citizens rights may be under inter
national law the restriction Of pass
ports to cases Of absolute necessity
will meet with general approval and

A recent political boost for Paul
0. Husting. in the River Falls Times,
closed with the remark: This time
we take off our hats to him." The
New Richmond Leader comments
upon the article and says: eff the
Times pulls its political hat off every
time the junior senator distinguish
es himself there'll be busy times at
the office of the Times" This prob
ably explains the heretofore myster-
ious hat-habit of our respected
neighbor.

High School Notes

Tuesday, after school. there was
very interesting game of basketball
between the two camp fires of the
school. Miss Williams having charge
of one, and Miss Stuart, the other.
The game resulted in a tie.

One of the largest Circus compan-
les in America at the present day
has planned a trip to River Falls and
has secured the high school gymna-
SUM as the place for their perform
ances on Monday evening. Only a
few of the many wonderful features
can be mentioned here; the only way
to find out what they are is to at
tend. News has come ahead to US
that one of their special features is a
trip through Hades, which is being
patronized by all wherever this cir
Gus shows. There will be side shows
of all kinds, famous gypsy fortune
tellers. clowns everywhere at once,
and the famous German Travelling

Nearly Had a
Farce Election

But for a timely discovery of a
common error in all of the filed NOM
nation papers of city office candi-
dates River Falls might have pulled
off an illegal election this spring.
The state statutes of 1913 provide
that in cities and wards candidates
must have the signatures of mot less
than three per cent of the number of
votes cast in the last gubanatorial
election" The 1915 laws have an
amendment to this which provides
that there must be not less than 3
per cent NOR more than per cent :"
The gubanatOrial vote in this city
therefore necessitates each candi-
date getting exactly Is signers-no
more, no less. Every candidate, not
knowing of the new provision, had
more than Is signatures on his nomi-
nation papers
The error was discovered and ex-
planned by Mayor Stiles and Senator
Skogmo, and the candidates hustled
out their new papers yesterday and
had them signed to comply with the
law.

The most interesting feature was the
reception for the visiting team af-
ter the debate. The seniors had
charge of the decorating and enter
tainment while the sophomores pro-
vided the lunch. The reception was
held in the library which was very
prettily decorated with pennants and
plants. A short program was given
at the close Of the reception. One
Of the senior boys gave an impromp-
tn address of welcome to the visit
ors, which was replied to by one of
the Ellsworth girls. Then our speak
er, the winner Of the state Declama-
tory contest rendered two excellent
selections which were followed by a
couple Of musical numbers in clos
ing.
