Field Headquarters, Mexico, June 20 (Ry courier to Columbus, N. M., June 26. The information was contained in a semi official account obtained by Maj Robert l.. Howze, who was close on Villas trail last April and given out here today.
 Major Howze learned the details of the wounding of the bandit cheftain from one of the Mexicans Villa drafted and who afterward deserted
 The details of the story agreed with facts American officers obtained in their pursuit of Villa and by their independ- ent secret service work, but the account does not say whether the bandit died or recovered.
 Villa, the Mexican deserter said, ex- hibited every evidence of terror durir 2 the early stages of his flight, after the Americans had defeated his men at Guer- rero. The informant said he believed Villa was dead, but if he still was alive he was in the state of Durango, for which point he was heading during his flight from General Pershing's men.

al at Nanteuii-le-Ha and dis
tributed her provisions among the
wounded French and English SOL
diers at the hospital. slipping pieces
of money into their hands and lett
with the triumphant cry: Until to-
morrow, my lads"
The next day and the following for
ten days thereafter, Madame Meunier
passed through the German lines ev-
cry day with her charge Of provisions
for her proteges in the hospital at
Nanteuil-le- Haudouin. On Septein-
Der ~, on the road from Nanteuil TO
Lessard, her old cart was suddenly
caught In storm of shells. The
Germans all round under brief and
nervous orders were forming in col
umns hltching their horses to their
field guns. Within a short distance
from her farmhouse Madam Meunier
picked up the fuse of she'll. 1t was
a French fuse and she believed the
deliveraEce of the region was near at
hand. That night Madame Meunier
remained up to watch the German re-
treat under the calling fire of the
famous French three-inchers, anu
before morning counted score or
more OF the gray-coated men VINO
had passed by n few days before
waiting burial on the high road. At
one place she jumped out Of her cart
and found q German soldier. bleeding
from a wound, with his rife beside
him.

rife, unloaded it, installed the Ger
man in her cart and ten minutes
later arrived at the hospital at Neut-

Chasseurs.

Madame Meunier. but l am going to
keep the gun. When my husband
comes back from the war it will be
proof to him that l have not simply

Madame Meunier would have re-
ceived the war cross certainly, ana
probably the military medal. but the
privations she imposed upon herself
and the exhaustion from the great
effort she made to provision the
French soldiers in the Nanteuil hos
pital through the German lines dur
ing the ten days were too much for
her and she died literally of physical
exhaustion and privation. Her grave
in the little cemetery near Lesart is
kept covered by fresh flowers by the
soldiers Quartered in the vicinity.

Death Recalls Several Acts on

PARIS, Feb. 12-Madame Dare
Devil" Is dead. Madame Daredevil
was the name given by French SOL
dier to Madame Meunier, the wife OF
farmer at Lesart. not far from
nteuil-lc-Haudouin, where the
English troops passed September z
under tho pressure Of continually
multiplying German troops on It's
left flank. The peasants at Lessart,
most Of them. piled their personal
effects into carry-alls and carts ana
fed before the conflict. Madame
MeunIer. however. refused to bulge.
Solidly braced against her door-sill.
she turned a deaf ear to all appeals,
She remained alone there with her
old mother Of 73 and three young
servants: she buried her choice pro-
visions. her wine and a number OF
bottles of brandy in the garden.

From the surrounding country
there succeeded wave after wave OF
thick ranks Of gray. Five army corps.
nearly 100000 men marched through
the region toward the Marine. In the
early morning hours OF the next day
a German officer knocked on the door
OF Madame Meunier's farm house
with the hllt Of his sword.
II must have milk, bread, meat.
wine. salt. pepper, for my men," he
cried.
Madame Meunier got together all
the provisions that were visible in the
house, and when the count had been
made the German officer offered he:
a bank bill. Madame Meunier drew
herself up, and pushed the bill back
with her hand:

take everything you find here free of

my affairs in my own way. Otherwise
you shall have nothing more at all. y
so be It," the officer replied. but
let me give you a little advice. Take
good care Of yourself. My men don't
trifle."
Scarcely had the officer turned up
'on his heels when Madame Meunier
ran othe stable. hitched up the only
conveyance she had. stuffed her cart
full of the provisions she had secret
ed and in few minutes the old horse
was trotting at top speed along the
road between the lines of German
troops or the march. At Verslgny n
patrol stopped her, searched the cart
and showed their delight at the find
they had made and the legend has it
that Madame Meunier, with raised
whip, exclaimed:
Down with your paws. These
provisions are for the German general
staff"
At this, it is said, the patrol divld-
ed respectfully and allowed the cart
to pass on.

AS a matter Of fact miners are
among the best paid Of skilled labor
ers. No miner In the anthracite re-
glon works as long as eight hours a
day. and some Of them earn as much
as Sc and 81 day. The averag"
days wages is about 81 and the av-
erage work day is six hours.
The miner, according to the pecul'
lar customs OF his business, Is an In
diyldual contractor. He employs his
helper, who Is an unskilled laborer
and draws the average wage for day
labor. The economic conditions OF
helpers families is not as good as the
miners but the helpers. after a few
years are qualified to take miners
certificates and draw the higher wage.
The eight-hour demand, therefore, is
made really in behalf Of the helpera
and not for the miners.
