SENATOR JAMES BOOMED
FOR HIGH HONOR

Washington, Nov.27.-The Wash
ington Times, an afternoon paper
owned by Frank A. Munsey, pub
lished the following story:
Senator Ollie NJ. James, of Ken
lucky, the biggest man and one. of
the youngest in the upper branch of
congress, is being powerfully sup
ported for president pro tempore of
that body.
There is no doubt about the
Democrats controlling the next SEN
ate; but the death of Senator Clark,
of Kansas, makes it necessary that
new president pro tenn shall be
chosen. The position will be unu-
sually important, partly because the
Progressive-Re element will
frequently be needed to offset defec-
lions Of conservative Democrats and
finally because it will be of supreme
Importance that the senate be under
a direction that will keep it from
falling utterly out of working har-
mony with house that may be Re-
publican, and is certain to be very
close.

Juarez, Mex, Nov. 27.-The final
result of the fighting between the
de facto government forces defend
ing Chihuahua City and Francisco
Villas bandit army was unknown at
the American border early to-day.
Wire communication between Chi
huahua City and Juarez broken pre-
sumably by bandits Saturday had
not been restored. Carranza Off
Gals here express the conviction that
Villas efforts to take the city had
been defeated although the last news
received directly from the battlefield
indicated that the bandits, during
the fighting Saturday, carried the
conflict into the city proper where
they were finally elected after heavy
losses by both sides.
An account of the fighting early
Saturday from an Associated Press
representative at chihuahua City
was delivered, by courier at Maria,
Texas, last night. This account
stated that short range fighting oc-
Cured Saturday in Zarco avenue
and that the bandits We're finally
driven out on to the plains where
they were raked with machine gun
and artillery fire. The account also
said that an automobile in which
Villa was directing the bandit at
tack was riddled by the fire of the
government troops and the bandit
leader was forced to flee on horse
back.
Later advices received by Carran-
"a officials here from a station north
of Chihuahua City, said that
Jose Ynes Salazar, Villas second in
command was seriously wounded
Saturday. This report also stated
that the fighting continued late Sat
urday.
American army officers at Ell Paso
received a report last night that
Villa released the prisoners in Chi
huahua prison before he was driven
out of the city. CarranZa officials
said they had received no such ad
vices.

A battle ragged at Laffoon, in the
southeast portion Of Daviess county.
and that there Were no fatalities
was not the fault of the participants,
as two of those engaged in the fight
were left on the field in an uncon-
scious condition after having been
struck with an ak.
The fight was strictly family af-
fair. Tack Walker and William
Walker are brothers. They are both
married and reside in the same
house. They had a dispute Satur.
day afternoon. No one seems to
have a clear understanding of the
origin of the trouble. One report
says the men had been drinking.
However, they were engaged i'm a
lively fight when Mrs. Tack Walker
and Emmett Walker, son of William
Walker, appeared on the scene, the
former to assist her husband, and
the latter to give aid to his father.
Mrs. Walker is said to have secured
an ak. William Walker was said to
have been welding knife, inflict-
ing severe wounds on Tack's face
and head. Then it was that Mrs.
Walker brought her AK into the. bat
tie. William Walker and his son
were both knocked out by Mrs. Wal
Ter.
TheNfather and son We're left on
the ground in an unconscious condi-
tion. 1t was thought that both had
been killed. Tack Walker was as
sisted to the home of Will Champ
ion. where he and his wife spent
last night. Will Walker and bis son
were given attention at the home Of
Kern Alvey.
DR.. Schultz, of Pleasant Ridge, at
tended the three injured men. He
stated at midnight that Tack Walk
er'i condition is serious. He has
sevcs.t bad knife wounds on thel
., and face. One cut is nine
.ncnss Ia length. The injuries of
Will Walker and his son, Emmett,
are not serious.
Tack and Will Walker are sons Of
J. H. Walker, who conducts a store
at Laffoon.
The greatest of excitement was
created in the Whitesville and Laf-
foon neighborhoods as result Of
the fight. An effort was made to
get officers in Greensboro to go to
the scene of battle, but later reports
We're to the effect that the beliger-
ents had been carried from the field
of battle and there was more need
of physician than of an officer.

Later-Yesterday,s Greensboro L

.Iater--Yesterday's Owensboro In-
ouirer says
II there is no change in the con-
tract President Ford will call a
meeting at the court house in Ow-
ensboro next Saturday to ratify or
reject the sale. From the statement
made by a number OF farmers when
informed Of the sale and price, theTe
is some question as to whether the
sale will be ratified. If the contract
is accepted deliveries will begin as
soon thereafter as is convenient for
the growers. Very little tobacco was
stripped last week, as the rain did
not bring as good season as was
expected. and consequently until
there is a good season, the deliver
les of tobacco will be rather light.
