SHOW PL0W INJURIES
MAN

Waterville, Me-, Dec. 24-(Special)-
Frank D. Vachon, coal trimmer en-
ployed by the Maine Central railroad,
was struck and badly injured Satur-
day morning by the snowplow of the
Waterville, Fairfield and Oakland elec-
trio road. as he was walking along the
street near the Elmwood Hotel. He
was taken on the plow and a quick run
was made to the hospital, where it
was found he was suffering from a
broken arm and a large number Of
bruises. According to the best evidence
obtainable, Vachon was on his way to
work at about $50 in the morning and
was opposite the Elmwood when the
plow came along at slow speed. 1t was
in charge Of Superintendent Pierce Of
the road and had been down over the
line to clear 1t for the first car. Va
chon, who is very hard of hearing, was
walking along on the good part Of the
road near the track when the plow
struck him. some of his clothing CATCH
ing on one Of the extension wings Of
the machine, and dragging him for
some distance. According to him the
men on the plow did not see him until
after he was struck and commenced to
shout. They say they did and stopped
as quickly as possible. The man shout
ed at the top Of his voice when struck
and continued to shout for some min
utes, waking everyone up in that vi
cinity.
AS soon as he could be moved he
was taken to the hospital and by the
time the doctor arrived the mans legs
and arms were swollen so badly that
it was impossible to tell whether they
were broken or not. An X-ray picture
was taken and it was found that the
only break was in the upper right arm
just below the muscle. He is however
very badly bruised about the legs and
shoulder and is suffering considerable
pain.
Vachon has been in the employ of
the Maine Central for nearly 40 years
and in that time up to this accident he
has never lost over three days at
time from his work. He was one of
the men who shovel the coal over in
the tenders while the trains are at the
station here and it will probably be
several weeks before he can return to
work.

OLD UNION CHURCH
STEEPLE BLOWN DOWN

Readfield, Me. Dec. 2i.-(SpeciaD The
high winds of Friday night raised havoc
in and around Readtield, blowing down
trees, scattering boughs over the road
and doing other mischief. The largest
amount of damage SO far reported was t.
the old Union church on Church street
near Readtield Corner. The steeple Of this
famous old landmark was blown Off anu
landed on the church lawn. Fortunately
the steeple did not fall through the roof
Of the church or the damage would have
been considerably more. This church has
stood the storms for over 100 years and
is closely connected with the history of
the town. The damage will doubtless be
repaired, but of course the remodeling
cannot equal the antique workmanship.

One of the most effectual remedies for
wounds is found in powder made by
DR.. Felix Mendel. of Essen. Germany.
IT consists of a mixture of ten parts BIZ
carbonate of soda. nine parts acetic acid
fvinegar). and nineteen parts sugar.
superfciai wounds are covered with a
thick layer of the powder but deeper
wounds are completely filled with it. AS
soon as the mixture is placed on a raw
sore carbon dioxide is liberated and this
causes a constant flow of fluid from the

The general view of it taken by the pres.
is that. while it is not connected with the

Their Escape Gonzales
Leaves Juarez to Oppose Villa
South of Chihuahua City

Washington, Dec. 24.-Official reports
to the state department today from
border and Mexican interior points say
that Villa bandits yesterday occupied
Torreon. No details Of the action were
given except that many foreigners. an
ticipating that the attack would be
successful had departed before the
bandits entered.
A state department representative who
received similar information said he con-
sidered 1t reliable. The fight which pre-
ceded the towns occupation by Villas
troops began at 1 A. M. Friday. 1t was
said.
His source confirmed the statement that
Villa had not harmed any foreign proper
ty and had given guarantees to the for
eigners still remaining in the city. Villa
was not at Torreon in person. it was said.
as he was in the vicinity Of Bermellijo
yesterday.
The report that Villa troops had occu-
pied Torreon was accepted here as
fact today by Americans who have been
watching developments in Mexico. The re-
ports from Torreon brought by the refu-
gees from Parral were that Gen. Tala-
mante had only a comparatively small
garrison and the fact that the Americans
left before the attack started was taken
to indicate the apparent inability of the
Carranza forces to Withstand the attack.
Government agents reported to
Washington tonight that Villa had
abandoned his plan of attacking Chi
huahua City after taking Torreon and
was planning to move on Monterey,
where the government was said to
have been coming money. If Villa is
successful in taking Monterey accord
ing to this source he will move to
Tampico and besiege this east coast
port in order to have a port of entry
for ammunition and supplies.
Saltillo was also included in Villas
plan of campaign. it was said.

Co., and wiped out besides the building
IN which the fire started a shed and ell
and left only two Of the walls of the
main house standing. Only Mrs. OLeary
and her daughter were about the place
when the fire started and the former, who
was recovering from a recent surgical op-
eration was moved from the house by

$4,000 and is partially covered by lnsur-
ance Much of the furniture was saVeo

The fire started shortly before and
when the firemen arrived called to the
scene by an alarm from Box 67, the
fire was beyond stopping. The men
fought heroically, however, and pre-
vented the flames from spreading tc
nearby buildings. In the stable where
the fire originated was about Szoo

The house was built about 40 years

Representative Lenroot, while refus-

keen interest in the conference pro-
plan.
Coincident with the return of Mr..

Gently conferred with Col. Roosevelt
on the House situation. Other than
saying that a conference had been held,
however, Mr.. Gardner declined to dis
cuss the meeting. Representative
Schall of Minnesota, one of the two
Progressives elected to the House, is in
receipt of an invitation to call on Col.
Roosevelt.
In political circles the Coloners ac-
tivity is interpreted as indicating that
he intends to take more than a passing
interest in the organization of the
House. Some observers see in the
present agitation for changes in the
conduct of the Republican work in the
House part of general move of pro-
gressively-inclined Republicans to
command a hearing in the 1920 cam
paign.
Representative Gardners announce
ment of his intention to agitate for a
conference met cordial response among
many Of the rank and file Republicans
who are anxious to prevent the present
ranking minority members .of several
committees who are classified as ire
concilable stand-patters from getting
chairmanships unless they make dec
larations OF progressive principles.
