early cost OF operating
present horse drawn sys $11 ,5S1.S3
Yearly saving over present
cost of operation under
this plan ......... 5 1,171.33
Attention is called to the fact that
under the first plan the yearly cost of
operation was based on the payment
of the bonds in fifteen years, while
under the second plan it was based
on the payment Of the bonds in ten
years. The reason for this Is that
the first plan contemplates a con-
siderable portion of the cost would be
represented by permanent property,
that is, building and grounds, while
under the second plan the money
would all be used for equipment.
THE advantages of this plan are
lower first cost, lower cost of opera
ton and the fact that it provides for
two motor driven hose trucks instead
of one as provided in the first plan.
1t is evident from the foregoing that
Owosso can have an up-to-date motor
driven fire department without add
ing one cent to the burden of the
taxpayers.

Another point in favor of this plan
Is the fact that it allows for the

Outlines of Other Plan
The other plan under considera-

retaining the present fire horses sub
stituting the motor driven for the

plan would be to equip the No.

No. house with one motor driven

SCOUTS OWN STORY.


 Mexico City, June 3O-A signed statement by Lem A. Salisbury, the scout captured with American sol diers after the Carrizal fight, has been transmitted by General Trevino, the commander at Chihuahua City. It is witnessed by Felix Pagira and L. Floyd.
 The following is a textuaI copy of the statement, no corrections having been made:
 My name is Lemual Salisbury. l have been an interpreter for General Pershing since his troops entered Mex leo. I was without employment and stone broke, as no work was going on round Pearson, near which place l live. speak good Spanish. having been raised here.
 1T left Casas Grandes on Saturday morning as interpreter for Captain Boyd. There were 76 men. all told, with us, all of the Tenth Cavalry. Captain Boyd sent a messenger into Carrizal yesterday morning to the Jefe Politico, saying that he was on peace full mission, asking permission to pass through Villa Ahumada, and request ing that he advise the military au- fthoritics.
 'sGeneral Gonek sent out Lieut.. Col. Rivas with an escort of eight men to tell us that he had orders to stop us there until he heard further. Captain Boyd said that he had heard of robbery in Santo Domingo and of the presence of bandits there. and so wanted to run them down and | recapture deserter who had gotten 1 away.
 "Lieut Col. Rivas replied that there 1 were no bandits in that place, and | that they would have to pass over | their dead bodies to get there. Af- I ter further talk he retired to town. 1 General Gomez sent a note asking that the Americans come into town for a conference. Captain Boyd did not like the idea, and said so, where upon General Gomez came out per l sonally and repeated the orders that they could not pass through. saying | that his instructions from General Trevino were to that effect. "He asked if the Americans knew l of these orders. Captain Boyd ad-
 mitted that he was aware of the or 1 ders, but said that his own orders were to go through to Villa. Ahuma ada, | and he had to obey.
 | General Gomez repeated his re- fusal, and said that if the Americans advanced he would at once fire upon 1 them. Then Captain Boyd said all right But I think that he thought 1 that General Gomez was only trying l to comply with the orders from his superior and would not really finish. I General Gomez had retired to his men, who were lined up the out side of the town when Captain Boyd gave the order to advance. Shortly af- terward the firing commenced and our men started to drop. Captain Boyd and Lieutenant Adair were killed. Captain Mercy was wounded in the shoulder but I think he got away.
 Ten men, who were holding our horses, fled with the lot. We were surrounded and had to surrender. 1 ''I saw the dead bodies of Captain l Boyd and Adair, and also of 12 ne-

 General Pablo Bertani, who had been expected to arrive in Juarez in charge of the special train, was not aboard when it reached the border.
 Mexican military authorities were un-
 able to explain his failure to arrive.
 After leaving Fort Bliss last night
 one of the prisoners from Chihuahua
 announced that the Mexican officers
 admitted that they had killed the
 American wounded on the Battlefield
 at Carriza1
 One of the Carranza officers came into dark room where we were stay
 ing and asked us if we knew what the separate shots we had heard outside
 meant the trooper said. ''I told him
 did not know, but could guess. He answered in Spanish that I under stood, and said: You are a good guesser; we are shooting your wound ed to save taking care of them.''' The negro also said that two lieu tenant colonels, two lieutenants, and one captain of the Carranza army were killed at Carrizal by the Ameri- can troops.
 In official circles in Juarez the Mexican city across the Rio Grande
 news despatchesS that the return of ne- gro soldiers had averted the possi-
 bility of immediate retaliatory steps by the United States were received with obvious satisfaction. Andres Garcia, Mexican consul at El Paso, ex-
 pressed the belief that the first step looking toward a peaceful solution of the border problem had been taken and that others would follow shortly At the request of General George Bell, Jr., commanding the Fl Paso
 military district, MT. Garcia today 1 made preliminary arrangements for the return, at the expense of the American government, to the United States of the bodies of the American soldiers killed at CarrizaL No ac- curate figures of the dead are avail able but the missing number is 15 and it is believed all were killed. At the Fort Bliss hospital where the 23 troopers who were brought from Chihuahua are being held it was stated that it probably would be sew eral days before the outcome of their condition could be determined. s'tOh, boy, you don't know how good
 this tastes after those Mexican fri joles," said one of the men as he sank his teeth into a melon. General Francisco Gonzales, com manding the Juarez garrison, an
 nounced he expected to receive the
 arms, horses and equipment of the
 negro troopers from Chihuahua to-
 day and that he would turn them over
 immediately to General Bell.
 Reports from points west along the border reaching Fl Paso today indi- cated considerable Mexican feeling as a result of the numerous forays from the Mexican side upon isolated ranches, culminating in the | murder of William Parker and his young wife at their ranch southwest
 of Hachita, N. M. Several persons
 of Mexican origin have complained to
 civil and military authorities that they 1 had been mistreated by posses of cow l boys in that vicinity.

groes, although there might have been more than these. I do not know how many Mexicans were killed outside of General Gomez.
 T consider that the fault of the fight belongs to the Americans, as General Gomez was very courteous in his in- sistenee that they must retire, and frequently pointed out that he must be loyal to his superior's orders, and would open fire upon them if they per-

 E But, as I said before, Captain Boyd seemed to think that they were only b1uff1ng. He seemed to think he could force passage.
 "In my case I have been trying to get away from my employment some time, as accepted work with General Pershing only to help catch Villa if possible.
