CARUTHERS PROBES
DUTCHTOWN FIGHT
One Man May Die as Result of
Melee-Family Fued is
Growing Strong.

Prosecuting Attorney J. Henry Ca
ruthers this morning will go to Dutch
town to make an official investigation
Of fight that took place at a dance
there last Saturday night when Lester
Rhodes was stabbed probably fatally
in the head in a fight with John En-
derle.
Warrants and arrests will follow
Caruthers' Investigation which it is
believed will head off the inception of
a fued between the members of the
Rhodes and Enderle families.
1t was we'll known in Dutchtown that
for at least two days following the
fight, members of the immediate fam
lilies Of the two men as well as other
close relatives were going armed in
DutchtOwn, expecting the fight to
break out again.
Three men and one woman were cut
in the fight that took place Saturday,
and Lester Rhodes condition is con-
sidered so serious that he may die at
any time.
In the midst of the melee, Enderle,
who had been attacked by several of
the Rhodes, all armed with knives,
pulled out his knife, drew open a long
sharp blade and stabbed young
Rhodes in the head. The blade of the
knife crashed through his skull and
in some manner as Enderle attempted
to withdraw the blade, the steel was
broken off, leaving part of the blade
in Rhodes head.
When Rhodes fell, Enderle made
good his escape. August Vessel, one
of the men who were conducting the
dance, tried to separate the fighting
men and was slashed on the hands. One
of the Rhodes boys, according to wit
nesses, also cut his own mother by
mistake. Her wound is slight.
The fight between the two men was
started over a girl with whom both
men had fallen in love at the dance.
Her name was Stella Bolin. Both men
asked permission to escort her home
Ha - h.
rivalry over the girls smiles and he
took her home. He had to return to
his own home by way of the dancing
pavilion and when he passed by the
dancing still was going on.
He fingered to have one last waltz.
He sought out a partner and danced
with her Young Rhodes, who had
beaten in the rivalry for the other
girl, went on the floor, mingled with
the crowd and worked his way to En-
derle's side.
He grabbed him by the arm and as
he attracted his attention, he said to
Enderle that he wanted to see him.
Enderle jerked away and continued
dancing.
Rhodes, according to men who
saw the entire fight, followed him and
Jerking him away from his partner,
slashed at him with his knife. En-
derle backed off and two other Rhodes
boys, brothers, Grover and Ray Rhodes
got into action. According to stories
told to Caruthers, they had had knives
strapped to their wrists and whipped
them into action with great speed.
Enderle, after he had been cut in sew
eral places, stabbed Rhodes with the
blow that put an end to the fight.

execution and mayhem for the reluc-

villa proclamation, according to vii
las old Generals on this side of the
border:
"The valiant General, Francisco VIII
la, champion of the oppressed and
enemy u those who are throttling
Mexico, is once more in the field
against those who would ravish our
beloved land.
He has challenged the forces of
Carranza, the oppressor, and already
has achieved notable victories over
the whiskered one. Carranza's soul
quakes in fear and he has sent appeals
to his friend, the American Govern
ment, to save him.
but no power can save Carranza
from the wrath of righteous and loyal
Mexicans. No longer can he give the
Gringo the right to make himself rich
at the cost of Mexican blood. The time
has come for retribution
General villa calls on all loyal
Mexicans to assemble to his standard
to fight for freedom and justice. He
will welcome again those who have
mistakenly entered the service of Car
rama only to be betrayed. His battle
cry will be; Death to the Gringo and
life to Mexic."

Investigation Ordered of Yillista Ac
tiyitieS

Washington. July la complete
and searching Investigation into vii
iista activities in Mexico has been or
dered by President Wilson. The State
and War Departments have been re-
quested to report at once all obtain
able facts regarding the exact where
abouts of the bandit leader and
whether it is true that his forces are
as large as has been reported in the
press adyices from the border.
President Wilson and the Cabinet
had before them today all of the pre-
'liminary information furnished to the
State Department by Ambassador Des-
ignate Arrendondo. 1t is understood
that the Cabinet also considered con-
'hdential reports received from General
Funston and other American officers
along the border dealing with the re-
newal of the Villista agitation by GER
tain American sources long under in
Vestlgation.
Officials declared that there would
be no change of policy at this time;
the militia will be rtained at border
posts until it is certain that the de
facto government of Mexico has
stamped out brigandage. Secretary Of
State Polk today sent formal notice
to the Treasury Department that this
government has no objection to food
stuffs being shipped across the border
into Mexico.

Frankfort, KY, July 12-Commis-
sioner of Agriculture Cohen today is
sued the June crop report which shows
that all of the crops, with the excep-
ton of fruit, are in splendid condi-
tions, and the outlook favorable for
a bumper year for the farmers.
The report follows:
"The last of June found everybody
busy on the farm. The late corn is
scarcely laid by, the early corn needs
cultivation, threshing has begun in
many localities, wheat, barley, rye and
hay harvest is on hand and the length
of no day is sufficient for the Ken
lucky farmer at this time.
Excessive rainfall over a large
area of the State during June has pre-
vented the proper cultivation of the
crops, and in consequence the growth
of same is retarded by weeds and
grass Pastures are in good condi-
dition. This months reports show
great contrasts as to weather and
crop conditions of the State.
"Threshing is in full sway and while
only part of the wheat has been
threshed, 1t is estimated that very
small yield will be the result This
yield is estimated at 10 bushels per
acre. Oats have done much better
and show a yield of 20 bushels per
acre, rye is given at II bushels and
barley at II bushels per acre as a
State average.
Corn is reported as looking well
and with seasonable weather this crop
bids fair to be a good one. Condition
of same is given at 81 per cent.
Tobacco as a whole is doing well

10 reports which reached here tonight
With each new detection of troops

the forces of "Pancho' villa are
strengthened. In some quarters the
prediction was made today that in
sixty days. First Chief Carranza would
he overthrow and that villa will rule
Mexico, or at least the northern d.
vision of it.
The State Department at Washing

cension of villa, which led to a new
twist to the diplomatic situation.

ports received at Juarez. they are I'M

Such happening was likely in
