Ell Paso is situated on the
Rio Grande in the Southwestern
part of the state and is the
scene of many raids. Jaurez
is just across the river in Mexi-
co. There have been some pref.
rty bloody battles over there. E.
Pasco is only five miles from
the New Mexico line and is on
ly 35 miles from Columbus
where our last border outrage
was committed.
The climate is. very warm and
dry the greater part of the year
They shave about two weeks Of
freezing weather. The coun-
try is very sandy and desserts
are numerous.
Ell Pasco is one of the largest
military stations on the border,
as it has about $4,000 national
guardsmen and between 10000
and 10000 regulars here. The
city itself is a fort, as there are
no wood FRANC houses here they
are all built of either concrete,
brick or stone. Lumber is very
high here and can hardly be
cotton. Historical Fort Bliss is
in the outskirts of town where
the regular army is stationed.
Jaurez is just a small town
but it is an important railroad
crossing. 1t is in possession of
the Carranzaists at the present.
The Villistas evacated when our
troops crossed the border. They
are threatening to take it back.
The poulation of both Juarez
and Ell Paso is in a state of ex-
element over the threat. Villa
is carrying on his operations on
Chihuahua City and vicinity
which is only 200 miles south
of here. Shippers have fired on
the guards occasionally but
have done very little damage.
The boys are anxious for them
to start something so they can
get a chance to shoot at them.
They have to shoot at us first
before we can return fire. Villa
is the one who is sought. There
is 100000 reward for him and
every guardsman is anxious to
get ':crack" at him.
The next piece, I will write
about will be the industries and
farming of the southwest and
how the people go about it.

THE BREMENS
ARE PRIZES

London, Oct. 18.-The first
Bremen was captured in the
Straits of Dover as she was fol
lowing the tactics of the
Deutschland in steaming along
under the wake of an English
vessel to escape detection. She
had been spied futher out and
the net prepared to snare her. So
completely was she entangled
that it required two days to get
out the crew, of which five were
dead and the remainder in the
last stages of exhaustion.
The most important part of
the capture was the package of
valuable documents and mail
matter, which overjoyed Britain
to posses. She was taken to
Chatham, but where she now
is was not stated.
The British also captured the
second Bremen, but on details
are given out. No attempt was
made to capture the Deutschland
on returning, as it was not con-
sidered worth while to risk the
boats to do so.
A third Bremen is on her way
and sailed expecting to dock in
New London. She may be ex=
pected at any moment, as she
has not been captured. U-53,
when it was found she had not
arrived, rushed out to sea to find
and rid her. Her mission was
to look up the Bremens. The
Deutschland is coming out in
November.

DEATH AND FUsFRM or CHARLES ROBERT ausx

7 Last FRIDAY morning two
kilograms, the second following
The first one quickly, announced
the sevre injury and death of
Charles Robert Husk near his
home in New Orleans, La. The
news were shocking for it was
known that he was in good
health, and tnS meagerness Of
the dispatches did not state
what had happened-this
caused a great deal OF anxiety
on the part of his relatives and
friends here and and in Dod-
bridge and Tyler counties
where he spent the early part
of his life. The funeral party
which was scheduled to arrive
Sunday noon with the remains
did not get here until Sunday
evening. Then it was learned
that a street car accident caused
his death.
After supper on Thursday
evening, October 18th, he went
out from home on St. Charles
Avenue to take an uptown car
TO be out but only a short while.
There are two tracks in the
center OF this avenue and he
was to take the car on the op-
posite track; he crossed the
first track to get his car COM
ing on .he second track, when
suddenly, apparently without
warning, the large heavy pull
man-type steel car on the first
track struck him in the back
throwing him to the street. He
received fracture of skull with
perhaps internal injuries. He
never regained consciousness.
He was quickly hurried to a
nearby hospital in an ambul-
ance, but died about two hours
afterward. Mrs. Husk and
little son, Kenneth,s saw the crowd
gathering where the accident
occurred, and soon learned who
was hurt. They followed the
ambulance to the hospital and
remained until the end.
His sister, Miss Flora, a
trained nurse of Oklahoma
City received the first message
and started for New Orleans,
but was afterward located and
informed Of his death and fun
eral arrangements. She then
started for Belington twelve
hours behind the funeral party,
and arrived Monday at 11:10I
a. m.
Funeral services were held
Monday at 1890 o'clock at the
home of F. L. Thompson, on
High Street, the father of Mrs.
Husk. Rev. SkIaggs of the
M. E. Church had charge of
the services. Interment was
made at 2 p. M, in the Elliott
Cemetery.
