POCAHONTAS PICKINGs.
People Sorry to Lose III. NJ. Umberger
From the Town.

Pocahontas, Va, April 6-Although
it is only little over two months un-
til the town election for officers, lit
tie is said about it, and no one ap-
pears to be especially anxious to be
considered as a candidate for the
offices. Perhaps interest will increase
as the time approaches.
Miss Estelle Price, fifth grade
teacher at the school has been kept
in with diptheria and Mrs. C. S.
Minter is substituting for her.
All the town people are sorry of
the resignation of Heber M. Umberg-
Ell as assistant cashier of the Bank of
Pocahontas, who will move with his
family to the town of Concord, N. c.,
where he expects to engage with his
brother in business. Mr.. Umberger
is popular man and Pocahontas peo-
pie regret much to lose him and his
family, but he believes that wider
opportunity is open to him in his new
line of business. They will move as
soon as arrangements can be made
after his successor has been appoint
ed.
There are evidently some good ped
estrians in West Virginia. Three men
actually walked Sd miles to Pocahon-
tas and back to get supply of liq-
uor, and it is said they walked back
the same distance with two gallons
each. 1t took them two days to make
the trip here on foot, but it is very
likely that more time was required on
the return trip.
George j. Cunningham, the Boisse-
vane merchant, was in Pocahontas
this week on business.
We have been wondering who the
Colonel Dodd is who is leading the
chase in jursuit of Villa in Mexico.
He is an uncle of George and Herb
Dodd, both of whom are known to
Pocahontas people, the former being
citizen of Graham, and employed at
the Boyd Department store. At least
this is the information that is given
to us from reliable source, and we
believe it is true. Years ago there
was superintendent of the Poca-
hontas Collieries Company here nam
ed Dodds, and the name being spelled
differently would indicate that he is
different man, but we are inclined tc
believe that Col. George Dodd, of the
Mexico notoriety, is related to the
Tazewell Dodd family.
Pocahontas high school will have
three representatives at Graham or
Friday night, yiz: Abram Lubliner
Harry Macon and John Newton, jr
The last two are debaters. The schoo
here will clash with Graham higl
school in debate, as reported in the
papers. Abraham Lublimer will b,
pitted against one of the Graham boy
in reading contest. Several pupil.

Carranza Troops Engage Vii
la and a Part of His Gang
at CieneguiIIaS, Killing Ten
of the Bandits
(By Associated Press. }

SAN ANTONIO. Tex. April 7.-Fran-
cisco Villa was at Cieneguillas, ten
miles south of Satevo, on April 4. &C
cording to General Luis Gutierrez. COM
handing the Carranza troops in Chihua-
hua, General Bell received this infor-
nation from Chihuahua and transmitted
it to General Funston today
American cavalry forces are pushing
forward along the trails to and beyond
Satevo. They are reported to have
passed Satevo on April 6.
Another engagement between Carran-
"a troops and Villa bandits took place
April at Cianeguilla. Ten of the ban
received at the war department today
and forwarded here.
Gutierrez also reported that Carranza
troops engaged fifty Villa men at
Cieneguilla, killed ten and captured
two. The prisoners said Villa had left
there early in the morning, with 200
men, leaving the fifty as rear guard
Another column of American cavalry
arrived at Cusihuirachic to support that
of Colonel w. c. Brown, who reached
there April 4, according to reports at
headquarters today.
Colonel Brown explained his delay in
rendering report after the engagement
at Aguas Caiientes by saying he and
his forces had exhausted their money
and he had none to pay for a message
General Bell reported that information
from Mexican sources indicated that
some thousands of the defacto govern
ment troops were being moved south
OF Chihauhau with the ostensible pur-
pose of checking the retreat of Villa
Carranza troops were reported today
by Consul Letcher to be concentrating in
the vicinity of Chihuahua. The reason for
such concentrating was unexplained, but
the officers at General Funston's head
quarters assumed that 1T was part of the
de facto governments plan of co-opera-
ton in the pursuit of Villa, who, accord
ing to a majority of reports, is travelling
south beyond Chihuahua.
Colonel Browns brief report forward
ed through the American consulate al
Chihuahua served to strengthen the as
sumption Of those at headquarters that
the American advanced forces already
had reached Satevo. Colonel Brown re-
ported from Cusihuirachic, some fifty
miles from Satevo, April 4.
