10 AMERICANS SHOT
SOLE SURVIVOR GIVES ACCOUNT OF
MASSACRE BY MEXICAN BANDITS.

1t appears that 10 Americans, were
massacred by Mexican bandits last
Monday west of Santa Ysabel, Thomas
B. Holmes being the only man to es-
cape.
Reports from Chihuahua stated that
10 bodies would come to the border.
1t was authoritatively stated that
Gen. Pablo Lopez, a Yaqui chieftain
closely allied with Gen. Francisco
Villa, ordered the massacre. About 20
bandits attacked the train. it was said,
while 200 were grouped as a reserve
at one side of the right of way.
Arrivals from Chihuahua City said
that a troop train of 20 cars, convey
ing between 500 and 1000 Carran7a
troops, had preceded the mining COM
pany special by about Is minutes. The
engine and two cars of this train were
said to have been derailed by the
bandits in order to stop the passen-
ger train of Americans. What be-
came of the Carranza soldiers, il they
were in the military train, could not
be learned.

Pocahontas Tribe No. 157 passed
the ninth milestone on it's journey of
time having been instituted on Jan
uary 4th, 1907, with forty-eight char
ter members. J. w. Burgoon being
the organizer. From that time the
tribe has been going steadily forward
adopting pale faces singly and in
classes of five, ten and twenty at a
time until it now numbers one hun
dred and thirty-one members, with
over two thousand fathoms of Wam-
pun to its credit and two teams in a
contest for bringing in new members
to be adopted on January Goth. 1t is
expected to be the largest class ever
taken in. So pale face if we do not
get you just come in and we will
have a class and take you in with it.
We are sometimes called noisy but
our motto is Freedom, Friendship
and Charity, then how can we enjoy
freedom if we are not allowed to
whoop it up when at a suitable place.
So in our council chamber there is
freedom for rich and poor alike on all
questions.
In the nine years Of their existence
they have paid over 1900 fathoms of
Wampum for the relief of brothers,
beside other donations of more than
a hundred fathoms and the good work
goes quietly ON.
Hoping all members as far as pos
sible will be present each Thursday
evening, as our Sachem has promised
to have something interesting on
hand for the next six months.

Takes Chance of Being EiectrOcuted
I'm Order To Beat His Way On
York Hanover Trolley.

Exactly how he escaped the $50
volts that load down the city trolley
lines, street car men do not know,
but William P. Matthews, aged
twenty-one, of Westminster, Md, did
not lose his life, nor did he get a jolt,
although he had climbed on top of
the Hanover trolley car as it waited in
Centre Square at II o'clock Tuesday
night. The roof of the car is copper
covered and men congregated in
Centre Square who saw the danger
GUS escapade expected, Of course, that
the stranger would be electrocuted
on the spot. They called the atten-
ton of Conductor Luther M. Diehl to
the man and he summoned Patrolman
Free, and between them they induced
the man to climb down from the car.
His escape was regarded as miracu-
lous. The only explanation is that in
climbing up he left the iron steps be-
fore touching the copper roof
Matthews is laborer on a farm
near Westminster and he came to
York Tuesday morning. By night
he was dead broke and had no means
good on a bus line from Littlestown
lO OulOH MILLS, Mu. he was 5LdHu-
ing in front of Young & Busser's
cigar store trying to figure out how
he was going to get home. when the
Hanover car arrived. Watching his
opportunity, when the conductor
left the car temporarily, Matthews
said he would take a chance and
crawled to the car roof and was lying
down when the conductors attention
was directed to him. He was locked
up at City hall for the night, a charge
of trespassing being lodged against
him. The line outside the city carries
$500 volts, and had Matthews re-
NAMED on the car roof he probably
would have been killed.-Hanover
