PERSHING'S CAMP AT THE FRONT
IN MEXICO, April 5.-(By Aeroplane
and Motor Couriers TO Columbus, New
Mexico. April 11.)-The ride of Lieuten-
ant Albert Myer. of the Seventh cavalry,
a. the Guerrero fight, when Colonel
George \. Dodd caught the Villa forces
for the first time. was described here
today by an officer from Dodd's column
who brought dispatches TO the headquar-
tiers camp.
Lieutenant Myer is from New York,
a grandson of the former chief signal
officer of the United States army.
During much of tile fight Colonel
Dodd had position on one of the hills
which form a bowl about the town Of
Guerrero. \ mile and a half from this
hill Colonel Dodd saw some Villa troops,
numbering possibly one or two hundred,
ding stealthily through a ravine.
Moving in their direction, but in such
a position that they might not see the
Villa men. was Major Tomplins'
squadron of the Seventh cavalry. There
seemed a chance for the Villa force to
take the squadron on the flank, and Col
onel Dodd ordered Lieutenant Myer to
carry word to Major Tompkins of the
bandits' movement.
Myer rode a horse conspicuously
marked with white. Between him and
Major Tompkins lay a mile of open field,
swept by the fire of snipers. Lieutenant
Myer made the distance at a run. jump
ing bitches, lodging boulders and leap
ing fences. The ride thrilled the officers
who were watching. The messenger
reached the American squadron in time
to warn them of the bandits position.

FOURTH INsTALLMENT.

THOR seven or eight blocks, after she
n left police headquarters, Juno
= Travis hurried on, from street to
street, Policeman Meeks ever close at
her side. The officers eyes never for
an instant left the coat that hung over
his companions arm.
Meel1s, being new to the force, was
tremendously Jealous in carrying out
to the minutest detail, every order of
his chief. If that bedraggled and gas
oline-tainted black coat had been the
interest on the national debt, Meeks
could not have watched it more closely.
Every time June would quicken or re-
tard her pace, Meeks would at once ac-
commodate mis- stride to hers; sticking
close to her elbow.
The girl was i'm despair. She had
planned so cleverly this kidnapping of
the coat She had worked out her mad
scheme to the tiniest atom. And now.
through the duty-sense of one stupid
policeman, she had lost her battle.
1t had seemed a simple thing to go
to headquarters, disguised as man.
to pass herself off as a tailor, to Sc
cure the coat, and thus to deprive the
police of the only clue that could con-
meet her with the Yelled Woman. Once
she could hide the coat in her own
home she would be safe. Wholly safe.
And now-what was she to do? She
could not escape from this porous-plas-
ter policeman. Clad I'm this awkward
masculine attire, she could not hope to
outrun him. The night was too bril-
liantly moonlit for her to dodge him
in the darkness.
What was to be done? To her fe-
vered senses 1t seemed as though ne
were beginning to watch her with a
vague suspicion added to his former
watchdog zeal.
June could have wept, through sheer
despair.
She had a crazy impulse to attack
him with her Malacca cane; of trying
to beat him into senselessness. She
even drew off ner gloves. so as to WELD
the stick more powerfully.
But almost at once, she saw the stark
folly of such a move. The man was
fully six feet tall He looked strong
and wiry. At her first blow, he would
undoubtedly wrench the cane away
from her and club ner with his night
stick. Moreover, the spectacle of a
civilian attempting to thrash a police
man would be certain to draw crowds
and probably other policemen.
She was helpless, despairing. And
with the bind instinct of the despairing
she unconsciously turned her steps
homeward
From the business district, she and
her companion now came out into one
of the residence sections There were
fewer people abroad here. but the moon

| The commission announced to spe-

citation that numerous requests had
been made for funds, all sought for
worthy causes. The committee had
asked for $500 but the commission
said that it would probably be COM
Ipeled to give less than this sum owing
| to the number OF requests from other
| sources.
| The plan of the committee as out
| lined to the commission is to have
! Second avenue from Fourteenth to
Twentieth street, Third avenue from
Fifteenth to Twentieth street, and
Twentieth street from Second to
Fourth avenue, decorated. The trOlly
poles and wires will be used, upon
which the decorations will be placed
! The committee also stated that the
band provided would be kept in Rock
Island all of the time. The idea is to
have music here during the entire
week of the celebration. 1t is under
stood that Davenport will have band
to entertain visitors in that city.
