PLAN WAS DEATH
 TO AMERICANS
Indications Pointed to Possible New Revolution in Mexico headed by Villa, but Officials Believe Situation in Hand.

Washington, Jan. 2l.-Death to Americans in Mexico and destruction to their property as well as war, to a finish against Carranza was determin- ad upon it became known here tonight at q formal convention of Mexican revolutionary members held in No vember. at ranch near Cordoba. Present and joining in the agreement are said to have been representatives of Villa, Zapata, Argumedo, Aguilar, the Cedillo Brothers and many lesser chieftains.
 Meagre reports of this gathering came to the state department long ago but they were not made public and until tonight few people knew there was general conspiracy a. gainst Americans or that the various faction had effected any kind of an agreement for concerted activities against the defacto government.
 The recent massacre at Santa Ysa- bel attributed to bandits led by Villa officers is said to have been perpe- trated in accordance with a conven- tion order. Officials think the period that elapsed after the Cordoba meet ing before the murders was because of the time required for the various delegates make reports to their com manders and the fact that the news of the decision had to be carried to subordinate commanders by courier. Cordoba is on the railroad between Vera Cruz and Mexico City and some 1000 miles from Stanta Ysabel.
 The Carranza authorities have been fully advised concerning the move ments of the rebels and have been depended on to take every possible pre- caution to prevent the threats from being carried out. They are believed to have the situation fairly we'll .n hand now although the revoluntary chiefs still are in the field operating more or less openly.
 Soon after Carranza was recognized the state department withdrew it's consular officers from Northern Mexi- co. Only by getting citizens of the United States away from territory not fully controlled by the defacto gov ernment it was realized there could be any real assurance of safety
 Few details of the Cordoba con- vention are known and some of the earlier arrivals waited probably weeks for all the delegates to appear. Ap- parently the call for the meeting went out as soon as it became certain the United States was to recognize Car ranza. At that time large detach-

WAS OVER
FROM BAYFIELD,

J. C. Bradley, a former resident OF
this village, lout now government
farmer at Bayfield,, Wis, was in the
village calling on friends and rela-
tives last Sunday. Mr.. Bradley in
forms us that he is much pleased with
his present position at Bayfield, and
enjoys the work. He has been con-
nected with. the government work for
many years past and is familiar with
nearly every branch of field work.
He reports the Indians there are TAX
ing, more interest this season in farm
work than any year previous which
is a good indication that the 60
ahead spirit is invading the terri
tory there. Recently Mr.. Bradley pur-
chased a nice herd of cattle for an In
dian farmer in that district and this
surnnner many more head of hive stock
is to be placed there. We are al
ways pleased to see Brad, and glad
to- lea rn of his success as a farmer

WILL GO TO
BAYFIELD,
Odanah will Play Bayfield,
Sunday
Manager Greeley Has Many PrOmis-
Ing YOuns Players

The Odanah baseball team will jour-
new over to Bayfield, next Sunday
where they will cross bats with the
team of that town. This will be Odan-
abs first game this season, and will
be in the nature of try-out, as
Manager Greeley will have several
recruits whom he desires to see in ac-
ton. However several of the veterans
of past seasons are still on the club,
and with these as a nucleus the man
agement figures on chalking up win
on their initial start.
Alfred Miller, who played second
base for Zacktow all last season, and
who has considerable pep as peg
ger will probably draw the assignment
of starting on the mound for the op-
ener. "Chicken' Nelson a rising
phenom of this town will be given a
chance to show what he can do on
first base. If looks or appearance
count for anything, "Chick" will be
a fixture on that base, as he sure has
the build for an ideal first baseman.
Besides this the youngster has hab-
it, $50 they sayy of knocking the ball
over tall buildings. "Flashlight"
Mike Lemeaux is another youngster
that is expected to make the team
this summer. The veterans who will
make up the team this summer are:
Newagon, Greeley, the Dennis broth
ers, Basner, Mcbride, La Pointe and
Pero. These boys need no introduction,
as the fans know what they can do.
AS yet, nothing mas been done TO-
ward getting a park. The boys all
favor the old grounds but feel that
they cannot possibly afford to pay
rent at the rate they did last season,
especially as the recent floods dam
aged the grounds to the extent that
it will take about $4,000 to get them
back in playing shape.
The club is willing to tackle this
proportion, provided they can rent the
grounds, at less figure than pre-
viously.
The tug Attention will most likely
be chartered to take the team to Bay
field Sunday, as many fans are go
ing to accompany the team. The boat
will leave their dock by the bridge at
ten o'clock a. M.

Last Friday was Parents Day at
the public schools. The teachers had
placed on exhibition in their rooms
samples Of the children's work and
the parents were invited to attend
the regular session of school in the
morning About fifteen responded.
In the afternoon a program was
given at the M. w. A. Hall. This was
we'll attended, especially as most of
the contestants for the evening came
at noon.
Musical numbers were given by the
pupils in the grades. A short talk

cooperation between parents and
teachers. Supt. Shannon, of Ashland,
also gave an address. His theme was
the organization and work of Parent

FOR REPAIRS
Aoent Everest Gets Word From
Washington
Money Will Shortly Be Available
For This Use

Agent P. S. Everest has received
word from Washington, D. g., IN
forming him that money for the re-
pairing of our streets will shortly
be available for use. The amount is
not as yet known but it is certain
it will be sufficient to place them In
as good condition as they were
previous to the spring flood, which
will mean our village will again be
in good condition. Much uneasiness
was felt by all in this regard as for
a time it looked as though no money
might be available, but now this
feeling is placed at ease and undoubt-
edly the present sidewalks will re-
ceive a covering of cement before
fall. In the meantime, every means
possible is to be used to secure a
sufficient appropriation to protect
our village from spring freshets.
Much credit is due Indian Agent Ev-
crest for the promptness he has TAX
en- in the matter and shows that he
is always alert to the well-being of
our town and people. He is an enthus-
last on sanitary conditions and
wants every person residing on this
reservation to see to it that their
places are kept in sanitary condi-
ton in every respect and further
wishes that every person will try
this year to start small flower
garden in and around their prem
ises as it aids greatly to beautify the
home surroundings and makes the
home more cheerful. 1t is true we
have many nice homes on the reser-
vation and with the adding of small
garden of this kind will be increased
in value. Everybody boost.

must be made 10 respect the privilege
granted them by the Indian to reside
hereon and further under the feder-
al laws each and every person must
produce passport for their residence
here and also pass examination as to
their fitness for same.
While we do not care to enforce this
rigid measure, we are being compelled
to do something along this line for
our own protection, so therefore we
have decided to call a council to look
into those matters thoroughly.
The Star is neutral on this matter
but will publish all resolutions and
news on every phase Of the new or
der of things for it's readers, but this
we do know that the Indian intends to
eliminate all troublesome whites re-
siding here and has the entire back
ing of the Indian Department in the
matter and many will see moving day
if our information is correct, which
we have every reason to believe is au-
thentic The Indian has at last been
compelled to take stand in the mat
ter above referred to. The government
farmers have the entire backing of the
Indian in this new move.

Heart Failure Was Cause OF His :
Sudden Death

Last Sunday evening Calvin Hunt
ley, of Ontonagon, Mich, aged
about 70 years dropped dead in the
company boarding house while COM
ing from supper. Mr.. Huntley was
employed by the j. S. Stearns Lum-
Der Co., as teamster and only recent
ly came here. For several days past,
it is said he was not feeling as we'll
as he should, but was not sick enough
to Quit work, but Sunday afternoon
he was feeling as good as previous.
He was for some time past a suffer-

his death last Sunday evening. The

the seed is planted. This is very I'M
portant factor in successful gram
growing, that a well prepared seed
bed be made before sowing the seed.
The seed bed for grain should be
made level and smooth, free from
clods and the soil as fine as 1t is pos
sible to make it. The reason for this is
when, wheat, oats and barley and such
grains are planted in rough cloddy
soil. the seed is not covered at mi
form depth, that is, 1t may be too
deep in some places and not deep
enough in others. or, as is the case
great many times, the seed is lying on
top of the ground, where it viii never

why the seed-bed should De thorough

This week has seen the removal of
several persons residing on this res

things, and will be strictly enforced
in every respect. For some time past
much agitation and trouble has been
caused by certain whites residing
hereon until the Indian has demand
ed a revision Of affairs and with the
above result. Much feeling has been
arounsed in the Indians by certain dis
elimination that exists and general
crusade is to be enforced under a
chapter of the Federal Law that pro-
tects him in his own home. Farmer
Doan is very active along this line and
has a list of many more that are
slated for the train route. We fur-
ther understand from prominent
Indian farmer, that a general council
is to be called for the purpose Of look
ing into many cases of discrimination
against the Indian and as he says "too
much free rein has been granted the
whites residing here in the past UNI
til they now disregard the laws that
govern their residence here and we be-
