Well, Mr., AXE, as l was one of the
Judges of election at Annapolis, I will
try and answer your question as to
why the increased vote at Annapolis?
Well, several young men had become
of age, and a number went to the polls
who had not voted in twenty years.
There were also a number at Vulcan,
who usually vote at Des Arc, who
came to Annapolis this year. Then
some had it in their minds that it was
vote or go to war. That brought out
some votes.

Obituary.

-
W. E. Bell was born May 80, 1910, in
Caledonia, Mo. He was married to
Lucy A. George in 1870 in ~Belleview,
Mo-, where they resided until his
death. To this union were born two
children, who survive him He leaves
a wife, two sons, Harvey l.. and Thos.
E., three sisters and Thos. M. Bell, a
brother, together with a host of
friends, to mourn his loss. He united
with the Presbyterian church June 8,
1887, was installed as Elder October
16, 1887, which Office he held in the
church until his death. He was a de-
voted Christian worker and will be
greatly missed, both spiritually and
financially, by his church. His exam
pie as a Christian was one worthy to
be emulated. He was truly a loving
husband and father, a neighbor to all
who knew him, and always ready to
md a helPing hand to the needy.
On Thursday the 9TH day of Deem
Der, 1916 just before the dawniug of
another day, his spirit took its flight
to the Greet Beyond, where "he is not
dead, butsleepeth." The funeral SER
vices were conducted by Rev, For
syth, pastor of the B~elleview Presby-
terrain church. His text was taken
from I'd Corinthians, 9Th chapter, LIST
verse: "For we know that if the
earthly house of our t%abernacle be
dissolved we have a building from
God, a house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens" He was laid
to rest in Edison cemetery, with low
ing hands and sorrowful hearts, to
await the resurrection morn.

BETTING EVEN ON VILLAS
CAPTURE WITHIN TEN DAYS

Ell PASO, April 3.--Bctting in army
circles at the front today was even that
Villa would be captured or killed within
10 days.
Carranza Consul Garcia stated that If
the United States troops took the bandit
alive, the Carranza Government would not
claim him, as the American Government
probably would want to punish villa fog
the Columbus raid.
If, however, the Carranza soldiers cap
tured Villa, Garcia said, the dc facto Gov
ernment would take his punishment into
it's own hands for crimes committed prior
to the Columbus raids
The Carranzistas believe Villa has inn
portant information regarding foreign in
reference in Mexican affairs. They might
bring pressure to bear on him to confess
the source of his funds. However his eN
ecuton by the Carran2istas eventually, II
they take him. is regarded as certain.
Saturday El Paso thought Villa would
be caught quickly. Today the border was
more pessimistic. Blizzards and rain in
the district south of Casas Grandes are
hampeTng the American troops.
One of the usual crop of border reports
here was that villa had already been
taken, but that General Pershing was keep
ing the matter quiet until Villa was
safely delivered at the expeditions head.

APACHES NOW ON TRAIL
OF VILLA AND HIS BANDITS

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April 3.--Major
General Funston, believing Villa has as.
capped the ring of American and Car
ranzista troops reported TO have sur
rounded him, today laid plans to track
down the bandit with the aid of Apache
scouts.
TT is my belief that Villa has slipped
his collar and crawled under the fence"
was Funston's comment. "He never has
been cornered"
At the same time it was announced that
20 Apaches, who either Iougnt with or
against Geronimo in the famous campaign
against the Indian bandit, will go to the
front early next week,
These Indians are considered by milf
tary men to be the best trailers in the
world.
The American troops are believed to be
near Chihuahua City,
Funston's information shows that roads
south of Casas Grandes are much i'm
proved. Five high'powered touring cars
are being used as couriers between Ell
Valle and the extreme front,
General Pershing, in a message to
Funston today, stated that General Bel
tran, Villas chief aide had been located
near Bachineya with 100 men. There has
been no contact at Bachineva. Beltran
was seen in the Columbus raid also and
on the border trouble at Nogales.
General Pershng's message was dated
last night and sent from ColOnia Dublan.
General Pershing's whereabouts were
kept secret by General Funston. All Villas
men, with the exception of Beltran's men,
have broken up in small bands, the dis
patch states. Colonel Dodd's cavalry has
also separated and are chasing the bandits.
General Pershing stated that he was get
ting much misleading information from
Carranzistas. He had no idea now where
Villa is. The country is very poor, and

corn was of poor quality.
