BADGER TROOPS
PUT To ROUI
IN FIRST ATTACK

The First Wisconsin infantry met
it's first enemy at San Antonio and
was completely routed. The hostile
forces attacked in such numbers and
in such vital points along the front
that forced movement had to be
made during the night tc avoid total
disability. Medical officers of the reg
iment and the entire hospital corps
worked throughout the major part Of
Tuesday night attending to injuries.
Wednesday the regiment felt in better
shape, but further attacks are expect
ed tonight.
Said enemy were none other than
an army of Texas red ants, writes :.
w. Bollenbeck to the Madison Journal.
1t SO happened that the men were un-
able to obtain their cots for use Tues
day night and were forced to sleep on
the ground. All of them of course had
to keep their trousers on, also most Of
their clothing. Most of them opened
ness. This gave the enemy" an op-
ening. When they found the tightly
bound trouser bottoms of the breeches
too close to the skin to permit q
break in the lines at that point, they
manuevered about and located a weak
spot in the center
And Texas ants do bite! The men
went to bed" if that is what you can
call dropping onto Texas earth, at 10
and 1920. In a few minutes the
march began The enemy had start
ed it's attack and near rout began.
One after another of the brave
guards rose, put on hat and walked
toward the hospital detachment. Ma
jor James w. Frew, commanding, had
gone to sleep. So it remained for
Lieutenant John Armitage and the
members of the sanitary troops to
handle the situation. They worked
from 10 to y. By that time Doc Arm
itage had done more than his share.
He turned the work over to First Ser
geant Theodore Worthington. 1t was
8 a. NJ Wednesday morning before the
parade had ended. Texas feas and
jiggers have still to make their at
lacks, but the men are on the lookout.
With the issuance of cots and ticks
last Wednesday afternoon they ex-
pected to avoid further attacks, but
members of Troop A and Battery A
insist that the peskky critters awteS
insist that the pesky climbers are not
to be discouraged by such impedi-
ments.
When the parade of ant-bitteR
guards began, the wounds were treat
ed with sodium bicarbonate with
which gauze was saturated. This was
bandaged to the abdomen of each maR
attacked, for the ants attacked only
the abdomen. Apparently this was
the only accessible and vulnerable
point. The natives here use kerosene
or blue vitrol to heal the wounds.

.ORPET FOUND
NOT Gull TY
Of MURDER

Will Orpet has been found not
guilty Of the murder of his sweet
, heart, Marian Lambert.
On the fourth ballot, the jury agreed
on verdict. From the first only one
juror thought the state had proved
that the cyanide of potassium, which
| caused the school girls death, had
been given to her in the guise of med.
1clne by the young University of Wis
! constin student. After three votes
this juror went over to the majority.
At 7:45 Saturday night the jury filed
into court, and the foreman handed
Judge Donnel1y the verdict. He read
it and passed it on to the court clerk,
who read aloud to the ibreathles5
throng that packed the sitting court
room.
eve, the jury, find the defendant.
William Orpet, not guilty"
The most composed person in the
room was Orpet. He has endured days
and night of gruelling since his ar
rest; he has had to tell his story over
and over; he has been cross-Ques-
toned; he has had the whole story
Of his relations with the pretty high
school girl laid bare and he has heard
himself denounced by the prosecut-
ors.
Had Been Confident
Yet, while the jury was celebrating
he said, with a confident smile:
81 will eat breakfast with my moth,
er tomorrow morning."
When the verdict was read he STEP
ped over and kissed his mother and
the whole case became merely an cpl
sode in his life. He was ready to go
home to dinner.
Orpet's first grain of comfort came
when Judge Donnelly, reading his list
Of instructions to the jury, was found
to be very favorable toward the de-
tense. He told the jurors that they
must not take into consideration Or
pets relations with Marian Lambert,
only the evidence of her murder must
be allowed to count against Orpet.
Also he warned the jury to be very
careful that there was no reasonable
doubt before verdict of guilty
should be returned.
The jury spent five hours discuss
ing the case. The trial has lasted ex-
actly two months. Owing to the pref
udice against Orpet among the tales
men, 81 days of this time were occu-
pied in obtaining jury

Never before at this season has cotton been so active. Pick ing has begun in earnest, and the good prices are causing il to be sold as rapidly as ginned. IL is indeed a bum bale of cotton that won't bring $l00 and over with the seed. Everybody fears a slump if the strike isn't stopped, but it is not believed that the strike like that can last lopg. The probability is that should the trains stop, buying will stop and be resum- ed again when they again be- gin to move.

TIRE STRIKE.

Before We go to press again the strike will be in progress. CT off Wilson has tried his lest and failed. Neither side seems to care to stop it. II Is now up to Congress. Can Con gress stop it?. Will there be time? The strikers believe Congress will pass al eight hour day law and settle it. At taa same time they are afraid that Congress will not do this. They realize that strike will be the greatest national caiam- i.v that has happened in gen erations. They have never be- lieved that they would have to do what they declared they would do. walk out. While the negotiations were underway with the president the senti- meut of the country seemed turning 10 the strikers. When the president asked them to recall the strike order dato un- til Congress could act and they refused. they lost q point with the American public. If Con gress fails. and all tranSporta- tion is tied up tine American public will take a hand. Self preservation is the first law of nature. and God help the man or men who stand in the way. The merits of tie contendiGe sides will no longer be consid- cred. Arguments and counter arguments will be as but char before q wind.

It may not be set tied on it's merits. like as not quite otherwise. but Il will be settled.

First they were at the cap itol and then they called on Secretary Wilson and advised him regarding their view of the presidents program In the afternoon they conferred with Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of labor at his office.

NEGRO BEATEN AND
CUT BY TWO WOMEN

Herbert Best, colored waiter, ran
up against lot of trouble last night
when, it is alleged, he endeavored to
prevent his wife, Emma Best, and
another woman named Johnnie
Holmes, from making a visit which
they had planned.
When the police, who had been
summoned to Best's home on North
Alcaniz street, arrived at the scene,
they found the negro suffering from
a severe knife wound, and also a
wound on his head. The knife wound,
he claimed, had been inflicted by his
wife, and the blow on the head, he
told police, was made by the other
woman striking him with a saltwater
bottle. He was conveyed to the Pen
sacola Hospital upon orders of the
city physician, an operation was
found necessary, and a portion of his
skull removed. Both of the women
have been arrested, and have been
refused bond, as Best is in a bad con-
dition.

WILSDN-BIGGS AND
THE P.H.S. WINNERS
CAROS AND SMITHS ARE DE-
FEATED IN TWO INTERESTING
GAMES OF BASKETBALL AT Y.
M. C. A.

In two well-played games at the Y.
M. c. A. last night, the High School
and Wilson-Biggs were winners over
the Caros and the Smiths.
The feature of the first game was
the work of Mobiles and Fulghum for
the High School, and Barrow for the
Caros. The final score of the game
was SO to 20, but the high score does
not denote the work of the players,
both sides playing good, consistent
ball.
The second game between the Will
son-Biggs and Smiths was far closer,
the final score being "a to 16. The
feature of the game was the long
shots of Wallace.
Last nights game gave the P. H. S.
a comfortable margin in the race for
the pennant. They play the Barton
Academy Of Mobile on the 18th of
this month and by the score last night
it looks as though they will have but
little trouble.

IS HELD ON CHARGE
OF WHITE SLAVERY
FRANK RUSSO, AN ITALIAN
FROM ALABAMA, WHO CAME
TO ESCAMBIA COUNTY WITH
WOMAN, is BOUND OVER.

Following an investigation on the
part of federal authorities, Frank
Russo, white, and Mrs. D. w. Lee,
widow, were yesterday ordered held
to await the action of the next grand
jury in the United States court. Rus
so, who is piano tuner by occupa-
ton, was required to furnish security
in the sum of $3.50 for his appearance
at the next term of the federal court,
while Mrs. Lee was required to fur
nish bail in the sum of 500 to in
sure her presence as a witness against
the party above-named. AS neither
were able to furnish the required Sc
curity, both were locked up at the
county jail at 4:30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Their preliminary was
held before United States Commits
sioner Sullivan.
This couple was arrested a few days
ago at Moline, where they were ac-
cupying rooms at a hotel there. The
federal authorities were informed
they endeavored to pass off as brother
and sister, but later this claim of re-
lationship was disproved, and they
were arrested by a county officer on
a nisdemeanor warrant. Arriving at
the county Jail after commitment,
they denied the alleged relationship,
and then the officials learned that
they came together from Alabama.
1t appears they had stopped at Cen
fury, Bluff Springs and at Moline.
At the latter place, it was asserted,
they were quartered at the hotel run
by a brother of Constable Bowman,
and the latter soon uscertained that
the brother and sister racket would
not hold, and he brought them to the
city.

following in his district.
He announces with platform, that
of good roads and bridges and safe
guarding the interests of the tax
payers by the strictest possible econ
omy. Mr.. McCurdy believes that a
road system should be adopted, con-
crete culverts built, the roads put in
good condition and then let out by
contract by the farmers along the
roadway to be kept in condition with
the use of split-log drags, which can
be done at one-third the expense of
the big and costly graders.
When Mr.. McCurdy served on the
board several years ago his district
had the reputation of having the best
roads in the county and they were
maintained, his friends say, in fine
condition at very nominal cost.
