Bears Defeated Topeka ) to =
in Wednesdays Opener.
SchWeitZer and Hanson Savage
Heroes of Afternoon.

Although Wednesday was as far
from an ideal baseball day as heel
is from head hair, two thousand, nine
hundred and ninety-two loyal local
fans paid hard money to see the first
game of the season here. in which
Rebel Oakes's Denver Bears defeated
Manager Lattimore's battlers by the
score of to ,.
The grandStand was well filled, as
was the first section of bleachers, and
there was 4 comfortable crowd in the
bleacher seconds, and it was the gem
eral opinion that had the day been
half way decent a record crowd would
have turned out
The contest itself was a good exhi-
bition of the national pastime-as
good as may be expected on the aver
age. Topeka took the short end of
the score only because there was too
much Juck Sterzer throughout and
because there was not enough Ami
NAL Dashner in the first two innings
Sterzer Was Right.
Sterzer. in spite of his avoirdupois,
his gold food chopper and the sur
plus energy he expended in winding
up and projecting his readbaSket,
pitched a great little game of ball In
all he allowed eight hits, three of
which were made by Alberta
Schweitzer. but only in the seventh
session did he allow the Savages to
bunch them on him. And the only
two scores were made in this inning.
Dashner, on the other hand. was
more true to the traditional lefthand-
ed dope, which is to the effect that it
takes corn growing weather to make
a southpaw effective, and when he
was relieved in the last of the second
inning he had permitted four hits and
three runs, which proved enough to
give the Jones-Oakes Bears the game.
West, who relieved Dashner in the
second session. looked like a million
dollar war baby, and for the first
three full innings he worked he made
the opposing batters look like monkey
I infants, tanning six of them and per-
4 hitting only one man to perch on first
base. In the sixth session he allowed
two hits that netted one run, and in
the seventh he did the same, but
/ otherwise he was master of the entire
! situation from start to finish. and il
was the general opinion that if he ha6
been started instead of Dashner the
final results would have been different

BRITISH SHOW GAIN
 ON WESTERN FRONT.
ARTILLERY FIRE ON GERMAN LINES WAS ESPECIALLY IN-
 TENSE IN SOME PLACES.
FRENCH GAIN TRENCHES
In the verdun Region the French FruitIessly Attacked German Posi- tions on Both Sides of ThIau-
 mont Redoubt.

Marked activity continued in evidence along the Franco Belgian front held by the British and the northern wing of the French line. Nu- merous gas clouds are being employ ed by the entente forces in the ope- rations, the war office announced. The artillery fire on the German lines was especially intense in the vicinity of the Somme.
 In the Verdun region the French fruitlessly attacked German positions on both sides of the Thiaumont re- doubt
 The statement says:
 "On the British front and the north ern wing of the French army patrol fighting developed Numerous gas and smoke clouds fioated toward us. They did no damage to the Germans, and at some places floated back to the enemy trenches. The enemy fire was directed with especial intensity against us on both sides of the Somme.
 As a result of the bombardment of Nesle by the French 22 of their own countrymen were either killed or wounded.
 "On the right bank of the Mouse, French attacks northwest and west of the armored work of Thiaumont and southwest of Fort Vaux were inef- fective. In Chapitre Wood an enemy detachment of two officers and few dozen men were surprised and it's members made prisoners.
 "A British biplane was shot down in an aerial engagement southeast of Arras. The occupants, who were wounded, were made prisoner"

RANCHMAN AND WIFE
 KILLED BY BANDITS
MIR. AND MRS. WILLIAM PARKER OF HACHlTA, N. M., ARE THE
 LATEST VICTIMS.
CAVALRY IS IN PURSUIT
After Looting the Place and Herding Horses and Cattle, Bandits GaIioped Away Shouting "viva Mexico"
 "viva La Patra.n

Hachita, N. M.-American cavalry and citizen posses are riding hard across the desert prairie south of here in pursuit of the Mexican raiders who murdered William Parker and his wife and drove away their cattle Orders have been issued to capture or kill the Mexicans. The pursuing forces are now near the international boundary and have orders to cross if neces- sary.
 The latest report of the whereabouts of the raiders placed them 30 miles south of the ranch, driving 25 of Parker's stock ahead of them. It is believed the cavalry detachment from Culberson's will be the first to strike, as they are far in advance of the other forces.
 The first report of the raid and the murderous attack on Parker and his was received at Columbus. A breath less, hatless rider dashed into the military camp there. He was an em. ploye of the Parker ranch.
 Disconnectedly he told of shots in the night which awakened him. Mounted and armed Mexicans were shooting into the windows and through the doors of the place. Parker was killed in his own bedroom and then Mrs. Parker was shot and instantly killed.
 The firing continued for some time. The few employees ol the ranch en- deavored to get their arms and defend the house, but the Mexicans, after footing the place and herding the horses and cattle in the corral 70. gether, galloped away shouting, Viva Mexico" Viva La Patria.'
 Parker and his wife, who had been married a little over three months, had been afraid of an attack on their ranch and had written of their fears to Hachita. Troops had ridden out from the Hachita camp several days ago, Parker's man said, but had not discovered the bandits. Patrols were threading the country, put it was so vast and scantily populated that it was practically impossible to find a small band which knew the district and how to hide in it.

U. s. SENATE FAYORS
 DRAFTING MILITIA
MILITARY COMMITTEE ADOPTS HOUSE RESoLUTloN-TWo
 CHANGES ARE MADE.

Washington.-A favorable report on the House resolution authorizing the president to draft immdiately into the federal service national guardsmen wi1ing to take the prescribed oath was ordered by the Senate military committee after it had stricken out a section appropriating $1,000,000 for the relief of dependents of guardsmen and another limiting the term of ser vice to three years.
 A substitute adopted for the relief provision would direct the guardsmen with dependents having no means of support be discharged.
 As reported by the committee, the measure otherwise stands as it origi- nally was reported to the House, with the House amendment declaring that an emergency now exists calling Tor the use of troops other than regulars, instead of leaving the question to be determined by the president. Service of guardsmen taken into the federal army is limited only to the period of the emergency.
 The committee was practically un- animous in voting to eliminate the $1,00O00O relief section.
 If there are men in the militia now who have families dependent upon them, they should remain at home and take care of their families,' said Senator Weeks ."There are plenty of able young men eager to serve the1r country whose families are not de- pendent upon them"
 ",fo make such a relief provision as the House resolution proposed would disorganize the regular army Sen- ator Chamberlain declared. We can- not have such benefits for one class of the service at such time and de- prive another class in the same ser vice of the privilege. The amendment we have proposed giving the secre. tary of war authority to honorably dis charge enlisted men with dependent families puts us on the same footing as other countries. Men with depend ent families always should be called into the service last"
