TROOPS SENT TO OPPOSE

EAGLE PASS, Texas, July H.
Carranza troops at Piedras Negras
and Monclovia have moved south to
oppose large Villista forces marching
toward the border, it was learned
from Mexican sources today.
A party of Mexicans arriving from
the interior reported today that their
train was held up by Villista bandits
Friday near Torreon and that all
passengers were robbed and every
thing Of value taken.
Luis Martinez, Of Ell Paso, said the
Carranza authorities had assured the
party a safe journey to the border.
He said most of the citizens Of. Tor
reon and vicinity were Villa sym
pathizers and that Carranza soldiers
there are desertfng to Villa.
Fifteen hundred national guards.
men attended the services in the
local Catholic church yesterday. The
soldiers served as altar boys, ushers
and choir.

branch of the Girls National Honor
Guard. A reading and writing room
has been opened by them in the dis

Think Villa is Dead.
WASHINGTON, July 17.-Villa is
dead, General Pershings troops will
be out of Mexico within a month and
the national guard back home within
three months, a high official said to
day.
Villas name is being used by
minor leaders to inspire fear among
Carranzistas, the official declared. He
said Carranza as stronger today in
Mexico than ever before, principally
because he averted war with the Unit
ed States without loss Of dignity by
Mexico.
Army men in touch with border and
Mexican interior conditions said today
there isn't a chance in a thousand
of further trouble with Mexico,
either by repetition of the Parral
snd Carrizal incidents or by bandit
raids.
Since the Carrizal attack was clear
ed up and the last Carranza note re
ceived, the war department has taken
the view that the Mexican trouble is
over. Pershing's moving his base
north Lelped immensely, it was de-
clared. Now rains have come and
threaten to necessitate further short
ening of the lines.

Mexico in a month or so.' said de-

A pleasant retort was that given by
Admiral Marsden at a dinner In Malta
several years ago. 1t was given on the
Fourth Of July by him to the American
officers on a man-Of-war, and all the
English officers in the harbor were
guests. They were no better bred than
many Engllshmen of that day, for
when the regular toast, THE day we
celebrate" was read, they set down
their glasses untasted. The venerable
host added gently, 1.-THE day, gentle
men, when England celebrates the
coming Of age of her eldest daughter"
Every face cleared, and the toast was
drunk with hearty cheers. Wit never
ends its way to the mark so swiftly as
when aimed with kindness and good
will.

THREATENS HOVER
WITH LOCK UP
Anonymous Writer Takes Excep-
ton to Lecturers Discussion
of Sleeve Motor.

Yelled threats of "jail sentence"
or as an alternative, running him
out of town." are contained in an anon
ymous letter posted in Bismarck and
received in Minot yesterday by Henry
H. Hover, the automobile engineer
who is to talk here Friday night. The
writer of the unsigned communication
takes exception apparently to Mr..
Hower's declaration that he will an
swer from the stage of the Grand
theater any question that may be ask
ed by the audience concerning the
Knight motor. He also Classics as
"faker" the man who originated the
formula used by the Society of Auto
mobile Engineers for computing horse
power.
Indications point to the possibility
of a lively tilt between the letter writ
er and the automobile engineer in the
event Mr.. Hower's critic makes his
threat. The text of the, communica-
ton was repeated by Mr. Hover over
the telephone to W. E. Lair and the
lecturer said that while the letter was
unsigned it was so worded he is in
clined to believe the writer actually
intends to carry out the threats con-
tanned.
Anonymous letters usually are ig-
nored,' said Mr.. Hover, "but this one
has got my fighting blood aroused. l
believe the man who wrote it actually
plans to embarrass me during my lee
ture in Bismarck and I only hope he
will try to carry out his program. In
fact publicly invite him to a seat on
the platform or, if he is too modest to
appear there, will answer his ques-
lions wherever he may be seated. The
motor car owners of Bismarck can be
the Judge of which of the two will be
embarrassed, he or I, and know that
Bismarck automobile owners stand
for fair play.
Following is the text of the letter
as given by Mr.. Hover over the tele.

of the theaters here any question

to say you may be pretty smart, but
you can't come into this town and
knock no poppet motor and, as far as
that goes, you can't answer certain
questions about the Knight motor I
and some friends of mine are going to
spring on you. l am no dealer in an.
other automobile, neither, but do
own car with a good engine and I
don't like to see any smart aleck get
up and blow about something he don't
know all about and thinks he does.
SO If you say you can answer any
questions asked you and don't do it
from the stage, you will be the laugh
ing stock in Bismarck where the peo-
pie know more about automobiles
than you think they do.
II amt got any use for buffer no
more has the other people here and
We guess we can prove you one when
you come here and if you are a faker
there are laws here to take care of

Dealers should accept no eggs

Waha Auto Accident

Sister Mary Rose of the Benedic-
tine Order and for several years a
teacher in the high school at Cotton,
was instantly killed Monday when
an automobile driven by William
Herdiman of Genesee went over the
grade on the mountain above Waha.
Sister Patricia received severe cuts
and badly sprained back, Sister
Augustine was badly bruised and
Sister Anestasia was slightly bruis-
ed. The driver, Mr.. Herdiman,
sustained bruises and cuts of very
serious character.
The party left Cottonwood short
ly after 8 o'clock in the morning
and reached the top of the Waha
grade little before noon. Just
what happened on the grade will
probably never be known further
than Mr.. Herdiman was unable to
descend the hill at a safe speed and
when cautioned by the sisters seem
ed to completely lose control of the
car and it plunged over the en-
bankment.
The accident happened at a point
about two miles above the Waha
postoffice aud about a mile below
the water tank. 1t is rough
rocky point where the road makes g
sharp turn to the right and instead
of making the turn the car held &
straight course and went over the
embankment. The car turned sew
eral times over and lodged against
some trees about 40 feet below the
road.
