Although he said he saw her

Hope Troops
Will Soon Be
Withdrawn

MEXICO CITY, June 27.-The
evacuation of San Geronimo aud
Bachinava by Americans moving
northward has aroused hopes
here that President Wilson is pre-
pairing to withdraw Gen. PERISH
Kings expedition.
" The war department has not
explained the move. A telegram
from Trevino announcing evacua-
ton declared it was proposed to
attack Americans if they attempt
ed to re-occupy the towns.
Notwithstanding statements of
American newspapers that war is
imminent strong optimistic SEN
| timent persists among Mexican
leaders. They are counting upon
| pressure from other Latin-Amerf-
can countries to induce Wilson
to move cautiously, fearing n
breach of commercial relations
between Latin-America and the
United States.
The newspapers are printing
reports that people of the south
ern countries sympathize with the
Americans.
South American diplomats re-
gard the maintenance of the
American expedition on Mexican
soil as a fragrant violation OF
Mexican sovereignty, but believe
border patrol should be estab-
lished to prevent bandit raids.
Americans continue 90 arrive
here from interior points. but sew
eral who went to Vera Cruz last
week contemplate returning to
Mexico City.
Mexicans pledging their sup
port to Carranza are pouring into
the capital, some of the leaders
being full-blooded Indians.

WITH LARGE ATTENDANCE

The McGill school opened Tues
day with an attendance larger than
it has ever been, there being 275 the
first day. At present there are 282
and thus far there has not been an
absent student. 1t is the aim of Mr..

still better than 1t was last year,
which was remarkable. the attend
ance last year being 9711 per cent
for the entire school. Every parent
should do their best in assisting In
this matter, for 1t is very necessary
that students are as nearly perfect
in attendance as possible to get the
best results.

grades are as follows:
First grade. Miss Jessie Vann and
Miss Rachel Vann; second GRADE
Miss Ruess and Miss Cook; third

JOHNSON GETS DECISION OVER LEO KELLY
IN TEN.ROUNO BOUT IN ELY, LABOR DAY

Eddie Johnson of Ely won the de-
cision over Leo Kelly of st. Louis
in their ten-round bout In Bio hall
or Labor Day.
II was the second meeting of these
two clever boys and it was thought
that this contest would be a most
vicious one for ten rounds, as 1t was
said there was considerable feeling
between the men. and both hoped
to settle the question of supremacy
for all times. The result was not 80
satisfactory. however. as ten rounds
is entirely too short route to set
tie the question between two men as
clever as johnson and Kelly.
While the battle was pleasing
one to look at, neither man was ever
In danger. There was not knock
down scored on either side. and at
the end of the tenth round either
man could have gone a far greater
distance.
In the first round both seemed eau
tious and appeared to be sizing up
his man. Commencing with the sec
ond round johnson started to carry
the fight to Kelly and he continued
along the same line all through the
battle. The men fought mostly at
close range and at infighting John
son appeared to have all the best OF
the game. Kelly was more inclined
to stay away and evidently was at
tempting TO make johnson use his
right hand at all times, perhaps with
the view that Johnson's right hand
will not stand great deal. The St
Louis boy knew this weak point and
no doubt figured that If he could
make Johnson injure Highland early
In the fight he would have 4. : at his
mercy. The local favorite was -
clever, however. and kept Kelly busy
keeping away from his left hand
which he used to some advantage In
all the clinches.
Jimmy Moorhead was the referee

and his decision was correct beyond
any question.
The preliminaries were perhaps
more entertaining than the main
bout. Young Macart won the decif
ion over Young Teter, while Kid Lee
won from Young Smilanick. Both
preliminaries went four fast rounds
ald It was fighting all the while.
Packey Mcfarland was referee and
his decision In both cases could not
be questioned.

youngsters that has ever stepped
through the ropes. He shows class

Huge Throngs Turn Out to
Celebrate UOrkers' Holiday

King Labor was busy man last
Monday. For he realized that It
was an occasion set aside by the
properly constituted authorities for
the benefit Of those who toll. There
were no whistles to disturb those
who were employed at the mines and
McGill nor call boys to bother those
who followed railroad callings. Yet
In spite OF these conditions, King
Labor was busy monarch.
First came the big parade, with
william Ens1ow ~ marshal Of the
day. Then followed the union band.
The various unions then assumed
their proper places. The boys band
was next In order. A string Of au-
tomobiles comprised the rear end of
the procession.
The drilling contest was the rsal
surprise of the day. William Saiver-
son and Mike Mandrich were the
favorites among the huge throng that
witnessed this event. First prize
was awarded George Jukich and Nick
Obradovich. who drilled 35% inches.
Salyerson and Mandrich had attain
ed depth of 327s inches at the
close of their efforts on the huge
rock. The winners received 5000
while the losers had to be content
with 800 less.
The prize of $3.50 for a tug of wal
was awarded to the .McGill team by
default. The miners from Ruth re-
fused to enter after they had lost

OF the members Of the club feel that

the public would come forward In

believe that the people OF Ely must

seems no doubt but that the public
