on arriving at the place, neighbors
found the house burned to the ground
and the bodies of Wilkinson and his
daughter in the ruins.
1t appears that the man had killed
his daughter and set fire to the house
and then shot his head off with a shot
gun. Before doing these deeds the
man had taken the belongings Of his
nephew, who had been rooming with
them, to a plowed field.
Wilkinson had been married before,
his former wife died several years
ago, leaving the daughter the man
killed. He married again and dis
like by the present Mrs. Wilkinson

the cause Of many quarrels between
the couple.

baby escaped, it is almost certain that
the whole family would hav, Eeen

We believe that we express the
sentiment OF our careful readers
when we say that il a prize we're
offered Tor contemplate express
slons by aud from newspaper,
the Boise Statesman would be
accorded the honor (?) by uni
versal consent. In Frida, e issue
the Statesman contained an eoi-
torial regarding Japan's conten-
ton that citizens of that coun-
try should be allowed to own
real estate in this country. and
says:
"Ihis dispute with Japan is
another striking instance of how
the Wilson administration has
repeatedly involved this country
in diplomatic situations from
which victory cannot be gained
and from which there is no posi-
BILE retreat with honor"
The dispute with Japan re.
garding the alien ownership Of
lands is not product OF the
Wilson administration, and this
the Statesman should know that
everybody knows. Neither was
it the product Of the Taft admin.

settled policy OF the country
since it's birth. 1t has passed as

born. II Japan wants to dis
pute our sovereign right to die

has done through every genera

ties with Japan stand as they

lority In congress, and Wilson
stands by the provisions OF those

YOUNG MAN CAN
BECOME OFFICER IN
NAVY BY NEW ROUTE

Until June 80, 1914, a commission
in the navy as line officer could only
be gained by first getting an appoint
ment to the Naval Academy at Annap
oils, Nd, through a congressman or
senator, or by promotion from the en-
listed force after serving a number of
years.
Now there is another method. The
road to a commission as a naval off
Ger is now open to any young Ameri-
can between the ages of II and 10.
The Naval Appropriation act, ap-
proved by the president on June 80
1874, contains the following clause:
Hereafter in addition to the ap-
pointments of midshipmen to the Unit
ed States Naval Academy as now pre-
scribed by law, the secretary of the
navy is allowed fifteen appointments
annually from the enlisted men of the
navy who are citizens of the United
States, and not more than twenty
years Of cge on the date of entrance
to the Naval Academy, and who shall
have served not less than one year as
enlisted men on the date OF entrance
Provided, That such appointment shall
be made in order of merit from candi-
dates who have in competition with
each other passed the mental examin-
alton now or hereafter required by law
for entrance to the Naval Academy,
ad who passed the physical examina-
ton required before entrance under
existing law"
This means that any young American
citizen of sound body and possessing a
common school education who will
regularly enlist in the navy, will lbe
eligible to take the examination for one
Cf these appointments to the Naval
Academy after he has served one year
il he is then under 20 years of age. The
minimum age for enlistment in the
navy is II years.
The requirements of candidates for
entrance to the Naval Academy are
briefly, as follows:
(a) Must be of good moral charac

ter and unmarried.

M anu uhlAuA ACN.
(b) Physical: Sound well-formed
body and robust constitution. Must be
free from any disease, deformity or
result of injury that would impair eff
cheney; must have 20-20 vision in
each eye without aid of glasses, and
lave perfect color sense.
(c) Mental: Candidates will be ex-
amined mentally in punctuation, spell
iLg, English grammar, geography,
United States history arithmetic, al
zebra through quadratic equations, and
plane geometry Give books of hau-
venets geometry or equivalent. De-
ficiency in any one of these subjects
may be sufficient to insure the rejec-
ton of the candidate. Maximum mark
100; passing mark ESQ. Certificates
from colleges and high schools will
not be accepted in lieu of entrance ex-
aminations.
After passing the above examination
satisfactorily the candidate is admit
ted to the Academy, bearing the title
Of midshipman, and he is paid by the
government 100000 per year. The
course at the Academy lasts four
years. On graduation the midshipman

Early Report of Raid.

COLUMBUS, n NJ, March 9.-Five
hundred Villa bandits crossed the in
ternational boundary and attacked this
little town at half-past four o'clock
this morning, pitched battle between
the raiders and civilian citizens of Col
umLus taking place during the semi
darkness prevailing at that hour. The
attackers adopted guerilla tactics and
murdered several citizens as they
emerged from their homes. The
American dead include a number Of
White women besides citizens who
lest their lives during the battle with
the bandits.
The Mexicans swooped down upon
Columbus suddenly, there being no
warning before the attack commenced.
Quickly securing possession of the I'M
defended town the outlaws applied the
torch at numerous points, and soon
q great conflagration was in progress.
When the fire alarm sounded citizens
rushed out of their homes, and were
shot down ruthlessly, while the ban
dts hid behind buildings and other
projections. The MeXicans remained
in full possession of Columbus one
hour and a half before being driven
out by three troops of the Thirteenth
cavalry, hurried to the scene of the
disturbance following a telephone mes
sage from this place. The departing
bandits left the business center of
Columbus enveloped in flames
A large number of Mexicans were
killed during the battle which resulted

The american Dead.


COLUMBUS, N. NJ, March Six
American cayalrymen were killed and
seven other wounded during the fight
with Mexican bandits here early 10
hay The civilian dead are:
c. c. MILLER, druggist, shot while
,ntering Hoover hotel
-- MILTON, a guest at Hoo
er hotel.
MRS. MILTON, wife of above named,
also a guest at Hoover hotel.
L. JAMES, merchant shot in streets.
]. S, DEAN, merchant, shot from
Embush.
A. L. RITCHIT, proprietor of Cen
lral hotel, killed while attempting to
,Ecape.
w. r. WALKER, guest at Central
hotel, killed while leaving hotel.
The Hoover hotel, an adobe strur-
tire, furnished shelter for more than
/ score of American women and chill

columbus streets, applying the torch
m every side and shooting wreckless-
T. into residences and business build.
Ings. The earthen construction of
his building prevented it's being fired
py the bandits.
Authentic accounts of the attack on
Columbus, sent out at noon state the
Nexicans first attacked the camp of
his Thirteenth United States cavalry
regiment, killing six troopers and
rounding seven others. During the
excitement incident to the surprise at =
Ntack number of cavalry horses were
ridden off and probably taken into
Mexico. The raid on Columbus fol-
lowed the attack on the troopers
camps, both being undertaken just
before daylight.
The attack came as a complete sur
prise to the military and civil author
tiles alike. Villa, it appears, deceived
the United States border patrol and
other authorities by sending a tele-
gram to Ouachita New Mexico, early
last night, stating he was at the No
gales ranch in Chihuahua, near the
border and approximately A miles
from this place Another telegram
signed by the American caretaker at
the Nogales ranch stated Villa was
personally at that place.
Meanwhile, Villa, together with a
band of followers estimated to number
five hundred, all we'll armed, was hur-
riedly making his way from the Bos-
CUES Grandes ranch, 20 miles south
west of her in the direction of the
border. Under cover of darkness, the
bandit chieftain crossed into United
States territory and successfully car
ried out plans to raid this community.
