Men in Pershing's command

If April 10, which placed the matter
in the light Of deliberate attack
BY Carranzista soldiers, even posi-
bility OF an attempt TO annihilate
the little force OF ia cayalrymen
under Maj. Tompkins.
After one OF his men had been
killed. Thompkins made up his mind
that IL his command was going to
be slaughtered, they would die fight
ing. He "cut loose" "a one OF
Pershing's men said, and the Mexi-
cans soon reiterated, leaving over 10
Dc ad on the field.
Tompkins held his men in re-
straint until he noticed on an ada
cent hill in Parral a body OF sol
Giers over whom the Mexican flag
was flying.
In answer TO Tompkins' question.
Gen. Lozsngo. a Carranza officer.
who led the American column into
the city. told him that the troops on
the hill were part OF the garrison
watching the movements Of the
Americans with intent to guard
them.
Just then the so-calied guard fred
volley into the American detach-
ment, killing one trooper.
An enormous crowd OF Mexicans.
made up largely OF Carranza sol.
diers. had surrounded the United
States troops.
Previously there had been q few
shots which Tompkins thought were
fred In welcome OF the Americans.
He had been met by Lozango. who
promised a welcome and a camping
place. A non.comm issioned officer
dashed up to Tompkins and reported
hat the Americans had been fired
upon and a number Of them wound
ed.
Tompkins asked Lozango for an
explanation, but he seemed mysti'
fed. afterward asking Tompkins 70
get his men out OF the city Immedi
ateIy. Lozsngo offered to guide the
Americans to safely. but Tompkins
fearing a trap, formed a plan Of his
own.
a fquad OF eight skirmishers were
thrown out at the head OF the Amer
lean column, seeking to fnd de
fcnse. The mobs grew larger. Rife
and pistol nre at the Americans be
canc incessant. Then followed the
incident OF the so-called Carranza

II is reported this afternoon that the
county court and city council Will
probably meet in the near future 70
discuss methods OF settling the IL
brary dispute. -Four members of the
council have already signed a petition
asking that the control Of the library
be placed in the hands of the county
court and ii is reported that fifth is
opposed to any plan to divorce the two
libraries.
The library controversy continues
to grow more complicated. Last
night the opposition TO Miss Sabra l.
Mason. librarian, strengthened by the
new appointments made last week by
Mayor Best, succeeded in dismissinG
her, but instantly notice was served
upon the board by the county court
that the contract between the board
and the county had been dissolved by
the court during the afternoon and
that, henceforth, the court would as
sumo control of the county library
The board members denied the
right arbitrarily to terminate the con-
tract and there are indications that
the controversy will go into the courts
for settlement The other side now
raises the question as to whether the
library contract was ever valid.
Toward the end OF the monthly
meeting last evening. Councilman
Phelps. who is a member of the board
made a motion that the board dis
pense with the services of Miss Ma
son and that her salary be stopped
The motion was seconded by Mrs.
James A. Fee. Mrs. Lima H. Sturgis,
president. asked to be excused from
putting the motion, declaring it to be
unjust and spiteful." Thereup-
on, Mr.. Phelps put the motion and it
was carried without a dissenting vote.
All members of the BOARD were pres
ent with the exception of Mrs. F. E..
Judd and Judge Marsh and Commits
sioner Cockburn. VINO are ex-officio
members.
Contract Annulled.
Almost Immediately ]. Roy Raley,
who acted as attorney for the pro-
Mason faction, submitted a commu-
nication to the board from the county
court doing so at the request of the
court he said.

TELLS EUGENE HE
HAS REAL ROUNDUP
Clarence Adams Claims He Has Same
Steers, Same Horses and Same
cowboys That Make PendletOn
Show.

The Roundup directors are again
exercised over what they declare are
false and misleading statements
which are being made by Clarence
Adams relative to wild west shows he
is staging in western oregon.
Here is a sample of the statements
to which they object. 1t is the lead
ing paragraph of a story in the Eu-
gene Register:
"Eugene's Roundup next week will
be fully as good as Pendleton's. Clar-
once Adams of the Roundup man
agement told the members of the
Chamber of Commerce at the regular
Wednesday luncheon yesterday No
Cne in western oregon, he added.
needs TO 60 clear to PendletOn to see
the great wild west spectacle, The
cowboys, the cattle and the horses
that will appear here will be practi-
cally the same, both in identity and
in number, that will appear at Pen
dleton."
Mr.. Adams, who formerly lived in
this county, recently staged a show
at Ashland and advertised it as the
Pendleton Roundup. He has never
had any official connection with the
Roundup and has never had the use
of one head of RounG-Up stock in his
shows He has borrowed the use OF
the name and slogan of Pendleton's
show quite generously and has done
everything he could to induce the be-
lief that he is giving the valley people
an exact reproduction of the PEN
dleton show.
In connection with her Round
Up which will be put on next week,
Eugene will also have Happy Vail
ley, an imitation of Pendleton's
"HaDpy Canyon."
