HAS THE MYSTERY BEEN SOLVED?

Villa is the great modern mystery just now, and most
Of the American people are wondering if that mystery
has been solved or whether has simply taken other
FORM The Mexicans say he is dead but he has been
killed so many times that his death will not be believed
until his body is produced and identified by Americans
A Mexican Identification will not be sufficient.
The combination of circumstances is too suspicious
First Cauanza requests the United States to withdraw
its troops from Mexico Second: the United States says
it will do only when Villa is dead captured Third:
the Mexican government reports, "Vila is dead"
The confederation of events is too smooth the Sc
quence too natural to sound exactly straight Then too
the digging up of the body after burial two weeks is not
calculated to make its Identification easy and it follows
chat the palmng off of any dead Mexican is possibility
On top of all this is the fact that Carranza has no
friendly feeling toward this country and no hesitation
about accomplishing his ends by any and all kinds of pre-
varicatiOn Looked at from this viewpoint it does not
seem probable that the big bandit is dead.
On the other hand the rumors of Villa being wounded
though denied have been persistent and would not down.
This makes it probable he wounded as stated
If he wounded it is easily believed that with such
surgical aid as was at his command he passed in his
checks and quit bandtting.
The truth will be known soon, or else there will be a
show down that is far from satisfactory to everyone this
side of the Mexican border If he is dead the Mexican
situation longer exists and the recall of the army will
naturally follow. 1t is hoped this will prove to be the
solution of the mystery that our troubles along the
border and with Mexico have ended and that peace is in
sight for our banditnfested neighbor

STATE news


Polk County Observer: The second
important natural gas wei. has been
tapped in Polk county. The newest dis.
covery was made on the Samuel New.
man place three miles this side of
Amity last week. Workmen have been
sinking a well for some time. At a
depth of little more than two-hup-
dred feet they tapped-the flow of GAS
that will probably be utilized later for
lighting, heating and other purposes.
The well is now at a depth of about
2SO feet and will be drilled consider,
able deeper. The flow at present is
not large, but those who should know
say that it comes from one of series
of gas pockets and when the well is
deeper will furnish an unlimited flow.
The gas that is escaping from the pipes
in the well can be ignitcd with a match
and the owner has great hopes of a
heavy supply. If the present well
proves insufficient Mr. Newman will
drill at other places, because he has rea-
son to be confident that there is large
store of natural gas on his place and
he will spare no effort to find it.

YOUNG PEOPLE HAD
VERY CLOSE GALL
BACKED DOWN UPON
AUTOMOBILE WHICH THEY
OCCUPIED, BADLY DAMAGING
THEIR MACHINE.

Four young people Friday afternoon
last near Mariana had a close call
when a train backed down upon the
car they occupied, badly damaging
their machine. The incident is thus
related by the Mariana Times-Cour-
Ter in its last issue:
Late last Friday afternoon four
well known young people Of this city
had a narrow escape when the auto
in which they were riding was struck
by the M. & B. train. The car was
occupied by Miss Rebecea Davis and
Rhodus Nichols, Miss Lucille Hatton
and Sidney Folsom, and were coming
to the city from the south. When
near the railroad crossing near the
water and light plants one of the
young ladies saw the M. & B. train
backing toward the crossing, but on
account of the embanlzlnent they were
unaware that one or two flat cars
were ahead of the box car which they
were watching. After it was almost
too late Nichols, who was driving, saw
the flat car, and realizing it was i'm
possible to stop his auto in time, made
an effort to get across the track, but
the train struck the rear part of the
auto violent blow, carrying it some
distance and severely damaging it.
Miss Hatton and Sidney Folsom,
on the rear seat and just about the
time the auto was struck, both jumped
and received number of scratches
and minor bruises. The other couple
remained in the auto and escaped un-
scratched. At the place where the
accident occurred the embanIment on
each side of the railway makes it
dangerous place and the noise Of the
machinery at the light and water
plants greatly lessons the chance of
hearing an oncoming locomotive.

GEORGIA OFFICER
TELLS OF TROUBLE
DEPUTY SHERIFF HOWE, WHO
CAME HERE AFTER PRISONER
YESTERDAY, TALKS INTEREST
INGLY OF INCIDENTS.

7. L. Howe, deputy sheriff from
Blakely, Ca, arrived here early yes
terday and left on the noon train for
Blake1y, having in custody a negro
named Charles Carter, who is wanted
in that Georgia town on the charge
of assault, it having been charged
against him that he <had seriously
stabbed a negro woman. Carter an
ticipates no trouble in getting out of
trouble in the case against him, for
not only has he paid the doctors bill
of the woman he wounded, but he has
made other amends. He resides in
Pensacola, and has number of rel
atives here.
Deputy Howe is from Early coun-
ty, Georgia, the scene of the whole
sale race troubles some weeks ago.
While he was not too free in talking
about the trouble, he did admit that
number of negroes who were missing
had never been accounted for, and it
was the general belief that more col
ored people were shot down or lynch
ed than had been officially reported.
About every negro lodge room in and
around Blakely proper, he said, were
burned, and there had never been ar
rests of anyone for the trouble, be-
cause there had never been obtained
evidence sufficiently strong TO con-
vict. He said that during the wild
rioting negroes left the neghbrohood
to return.

RUNAWAY BALLOON

FEARED IN THE NORTHWEST
ABOUT 4:SO O'CLOCK.

What appeared to be runaway
balloon passed over Pensacola yester-
day afternoon about $3.50 o'clock.

mysteries yet to be solved, for the

cally that no balloons are even pos
sessed there, not to mention one get
ting away.
But the fact remains that balloon
Of the dirigible type passed over the
city, for it was seen by a dozen or
more people, and it was not toy
balloon either. 1t apparently came
from the southeast and travelling at q
good rate of speed went with the wind
and disappeared in the northwest.

only sure thing connected with its
appearance and passing, some fellow
will find it and then perhaps the mys-
terry of the runaway balloon viii be
solved.

TICK ERADICATION
CAMPAIGN IS ON IN
COUNTY ESCAMB|A
MOVEMENT IS LAUNCHED AND
THE WORK WILL BE CARRIED
THROUGH AND MANY WATTS
ESTABLISHED.

Through the efforts Of S. w. Hiatt,
county agricultural adviser and
others, a tick eradication campaign
has been launched in Escambia coun-
ty. The first meeting is scheduled for
Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock at
Myrtle Grove, where c. G. Meyer, T.
L. Atkinson and others have interest
ed themselves to such an extent that
a dipping vat is practically assured.
But this is only the commencement
of the work that must be undertaken
at once if Escambia is to reach any
proportions as a cattle breeding and
raising county. Dipping watts are
necessary in every community. 1t is
an impossibility to raise cattle with
the tick covering the county as it now
does.
One plan that has been suggested,
and it has been successfully worked
in other counties and states, is that
the county supply the cement and SO
for each vat, the latter amount to pay
the actual cost of lumber necessary,
while the people Of the community in
which the vat is located perform the
work of building it. This, say many,
is one of the best solutions of the
problems, for it would insure a dip
ping vat in every community, at a
nominal cost to the county and with
out burdening the people of the COM
munity in securing it.
