FL PASO, Tex. Nov. 6.--Every en-
ergy OF the State Department today is
being directed toward obtaining
knowledge OF the fate Of tie ten Amer
loans known to have been in Parral
and apprehension was aroused to
fever heat upon the arrival last n. ght
OF four Americans who fed from Chi
huRhuas bringing further reports Of
the murder Of DR.. c. H. Fisher, aged
American, in Santa Rosalias by Villista
bandits.
After hunting and killing DR.. Fisher
the bandits told the inhabitants of the
town they were "going to Parral and
kill those grngoes," natives reaching
Chihuahua City after the raid told the
refugees.
In official quarters here hope is
held out that the Americans were able
to escape before the bandits reached
Parral.
In a message to the United Press
General Trevino, commander of the
Mexican garrison at chihuahua City,
said he was unable to obtain any news
Of the fate of the Americans.
Communication still cut off said
the telegram from Trevino. "and have
no information from Parral Making

On the same train bringing the
American refugees last night we're tho

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop 1t or go and help

same way with a cough. A cough
is a danger signal as much as a

the disease that causes the cough

by taking Chamberlain Cough Rem

entertainment
There TUESDAY

Secret Service" Americas great |
est wartime play and the best known
Work of the noted playwright,
William, Gillette, is to be presented
with fun scenic equipment at Nibley
hall, Tuesday evening, December IL,
by, the Weber Academy dramatic
club of Ogden. This organization
has held first rank for a number of
years among the high school dram
attic clubs of the state and it has
produced nothing but high class roy
atty plays. Secret Service" is the
most pretentious entertainment that
has yet been attempted by an amat-
eur company in this part of the
state and is intensely interesting
throughout the course of its three
acts.
1t is play of the Civil War and
at the time the action of the drama
was supposed to have taken place,
the City of Richmond was in a high
state of confusion and excitement.
Wounded and dying were brought in
from the defenses by the carload.
Churches, libraries and public build
ings were converted into hospitals
and, owing to the scarcity of sur
geons and medical attendants, women
and even young girls assisted in
dressing wounds and nursing the suf-
ferers day and night. other women
wer occupied in sewing coarse and
heavy sand bags for the strengthen
ing of the Notifications. Strict mil
itary Discipline was impossible and
court martials were composed of any
available material. Troops were be-
ing hurried in from the south and no
careful scruting was ateBpted.
This made 1t. possible for many
northern secret service men to enter
the city and remain their in various
guises. In the midst of this trouble
brave attempt at gayety was kept
up-chiefly by the young ,people-in
a desperate effort to distract their
minds from the terrible situation.
There were dances and Starvation
PARTIES" so-called because Of the
necessarily limited fare provided and
the booming of the siege guns often
sounded above the strains Of
dreamy waltz or the lively beat of
a polka.
| The spirit of these times is repro
duced in the Secret Service" in a
wonderfully realistic manner, with
action, scenic effects and music. Be-
fore coming to Logan. the dramatic
club which will present the play at
popular prices will have had the ex-
perience Of six weeks rehearsal and
two public performances in the Or
pheum Theatre in ogden, under the
direction of Professor r. Earl Par
doe, conceded to be the foremost di-
iVN'Oi VI amateur pay III lue Sldte.
Professor Pardoe, who was the spec
ial instructor of dramatic art at the
Brigham Young University summer
school this year and who is now head
of that department of the Weber
academy, has staged 251 amateur
productions, in Utah and Idaho, and
all have been successes.
