Another Political
Ambition Satisfied

1t is rumored that County Treasurer
Benson will not aspire to succeed him
self in the approaching election, but
will retire to private life. He is the
only one Of the present official family
who has grown tired of serving the
dear people, that we know of, all the
balance, with the exception of Commits
sioner Christensen. being willing to
again chance their political fates at the
ballot box.
County Attorney Adair believes that
one good term deserves another, and he
il in the race to succeed himself, with
no opposition. The probate judgeship
seems to be a coveted job at this time,
as the present incumbent and probable
candidate to succeed himself will have
some opposition. Attorney Good, for
mer county attorney, has concluded to
aspire for the place, and Mr.. Rice, the
defeated Progressive candidate for
school superintendent two years ago
has taken fancy to the judicial ermine
of the probate court. 49, sa.

Chautauqua Ends
Tomorrow Night

The chautauqua started last Satur-
day afternoon with crowded tent and
continued during the week, drawing i'm
mense audiences both day and night.
The entertainments were of a unique
and meritOrious character and were
fully appreciated by the public. The
vocal and instrumental music was both
classical and ordinary, and the lectures
were both interesting and amusing,
and if their lessons are at all adhered
to will prOve'a boon to the many ills
and wrongs Of this sad old world, whose
inhabitants are sacrificing their health
and happiness in a constant struggle
for the almighty dollar, the excessive
possession Of which is more of curse
than blessing.
Tomorrow night the chautauqua will
close with program by the kaffir Boy
Choir, which will sing songs in our Ian
guage, although they cannot speak
English, aside from what they have
been drilled for. Their entertainment
is said to be the greatest hit Of the
week. Hear the little fellows sing

FORTY AMERICAN
TROOPERS SLAIN

Washington, June 21.-General Funs-
ton reported late tonight that he had
received official confirmation Of a clash
between Carranza and American troops
early today near Carrizal, Mexico. He
had no details o. the incident, how
ever, except those provided by Mexican
officials at Juarez.
Ell Paso, Texas, June 21.-A detach-
ment of American cavalry clashed
with Carranza forces at Carrizal about
ninety miles south of FL Paso today,
both sides suffering heary casualties,
according to official reports received
by Mexican military authorities in
Juarez tonight.
According to the report, which Mex
lean authorities are investigating, forty
Americans were killed by machine gun
fire in surprise attack. The Mexican
casualties were said not to have been SO
heavy, but General Felix Gomez is
named as being among the Mexican
dead.
The American command is said to
have been part of scouting patrol
from Guzman, returning to General Per-
shing's line of communication. Carri-
zal, named as the place of encounter, is
about nine mines southwest Of Villa
Ahumada. the Mexican field base in
northern Chihuahua.
Later General Francisco Gonzales,
Mexican commander at Juarez, gave
out a statement in which he announced
officially that Mexican command had
taken seventeen American prisoners.
He also said that General Gomez death
had been confirmed, but said he had no
official reports as t. the number of
casualties on either side. The wound
ed, both American and Mexican, the
exact number of whom is not known
here, were taken to Villa Ahumada.
General Francisco Gonzales made the
following statement:
Immediately upon learning of the
presence Of the American troops in the
vicinity of Carrizal, General Felix Go
mez dispatched a messenger with re-
quest that the American commander
withdraw to his camp. When the
American troops remained motionless
he sent a second dispatch bearer, who
was fred upon by the American troops,
after he had delivered his message. The
Americans Immediately moved forward
and attacked General Gomez command.
''All the prisoners admitted that the
blame should be put on the American
commander for having ordered the at
tack. The prisoners were sent to Chi
huahua City with the customary pro
tectiOn.''
General Gonzales said that the report
of the engagement was made to him by
Lieutenant Colonel Rivas, who succeed
ell to the command Of the Carranzists
with the fall Of General Gomez.

DID CRuM RETURN THE $500.

Acting Governor Herman H. Taylor
il inclined to the opinion that all that
glitters is gold, and no doubt the
newsy who sold the present state 's
chief cxecutiv Capital News last night
is Of the same opinion. Acting Cover
nor Taylor hailed newsy and pur-
chased paper after feeling in his vest
pocket and handing over what he
thought was a fve-cent piece. 1t hap
pened to be IS gold piece. and the
joke is on the Standpoint statesman.
Some political wag when he heard the
joke, appended an alleged sequel to the
story, and that was that after accepting
the supposed fve-cent piece the news.
boy met George f. Crum, of Lewiston,
also one Of the numerous Republican
gubernatOrial candidates, and sold him
paper, changing 10-cent piece and
sAaading the IS gold piece, which he
Thought was nickel, back in change.
This would have the acting governor
