Ell PASO, Tex, March 31.-Mexican
Consul Garcia announced this after
noon that General Gavira, at Jarez,
has received word that American
troops and Villa bandits engaged in a.
battle at San Geronimo yesterday. The
Seventh calvary, U. S. A., fought five
hundred Villaistas, who lost their COM
mander, Eliseo Fernandez, and thirty
men. Several Americans were wound
eG during the battle, which was of
brief duration.
The American cavalrymen, it is
learned, surprised a number of Villa
iStas, estamited at five hundred, Sc .
vereiy defeating the bandits, at Guer-
rero, March 25th First details of the
fight were reported by General Perish
ing direct to General Funston at Fort
Sam Houston, from San Geronimo
Ranch. Thirty of the Villaistas were
killed, while only four Americans were
wounded, none of these seriously.
Two machine guns, many cavalry
horses and quantity of ammunition
were captured by the Americans, who
are still pursuing the bandits ener-
getically.
An apparently reliable report from
Mexican sources late today is to the
effect that CarranZa forces pursuing
Villa, have wounded the bandit CHIEF
tain. rife bullet having pierced his
leg during a running fight.

COUNTY BOARD Of
EDUCATION WILL
PLAN ON SCHOOL

Crawford Wheatley, chairman of the
trustees, and Prof J. NJ Collum, prin-
cipal of the Third District A. & NJ. col
lege, will go before the county board
of education Monday, requesting their
aid and cooperation in the erection of
the modern practice school, an account
OF which has been carried in the
Times-Recorder.
1t is planned that the new practice
school will be under the county school
system supplanting the Gatewood
school, and thus affording an institu-
tion for the students who attend the
Americus public schools, although liv-
ing out of the city
The new school would be operated IN
connection with the A. & M. college,
and the higher students of the college
would have the practice school as al
institution for training as teachers.
1t is likely that the county board OF
education will give their assent to the
project because of the wonderful ad
vantages it gives to the schools of the
county.

TAKES WHOLE SHIP
ALL BY HIMSELF

LEWIS, Del, March 31.-Ernest
SChieller, the young German who cap
tured the British steamer Matoppo and
terrorized its crew of fifty-six sailors
Wednesday night after the ship sailed
from New York for Vladivostock with
a cargo of railroad supplies for Russia,
today declared he was a German spy
and had been ordeFed~to blow up the
chip.
While no disposition of Schieller's
case has yet been. decided upon, it is
quite probably the young man will be
turned over to the British authorities
for trial upon the charge of piracy.
The alleged act of piracy having been
committed outside the three-miIe linn
it, jurisdiction in the matter natural
ly lies with the government the flag Of
which flew at the masthead of the Ma
tcppo. 1t is probable, however, the
United States may require assurances
from England that Schieller will be
given fair trial and not condemned as
spy. before turning the German over
to the British.
