Dyche, owner and publisher of the
London Sentinel, who also owns a
controlling interest in the Pineville

cause he had promised her that he
would not.
Mr.. Dyche was brought out of jail

he was ordered released. but was
ordered to appear back before the
Judge Monday. which he did. O.
Upon his continued refusal Monday

ion to give her name as Mr.. Dyche's

new YORK MILLIONAIRE
BACKING REVOLUTION
w. E. d. STOKES CALLED FROM
LEXINGTON OWING TO CON.
DITIONS IN MEXICO.

Lexington, KY, April 11.-W. E
D. Stokes, the New York multi-mil
lionaire, who has been in Lexington
two weeks looking after his horse in
terests, was called home today by q
telegram concerning the fortunes OF
Felix Diaz, of whose cause Stokes an
nounced today he was one of the rep
resentatives in the United States.
Stokes and Diaz are close friends,
and the Mexican stayed at Stokes
hotel in New York some time. The
Ell Paso story regarding the motives
of Gen. Ynez Salazar, reputed to be
the central figure in the plot having
to do with the Diaz movement, is a
Development at variance with the
attitude of Mr.. Stokes, who said in
support of Diaz, he has been in con-
slant touch with the federal secret
service department, and advocated
the Presidential aspirations of the
nephew of the deceased dictator,
Porfirio Diaz, because he believes he
is true friend Of the United States.
Stokes refused to discuss dis
patch from Ell Paso, saying he desired
first to confer with interested parties
in New York.
Stokes says Diaz hopes for an all
American entente for mutual prog
ress and protection. and relies on the
United States as the keynote for such
an alliance. Stokes is authority for
the statement that Germany offered
Diaz enormous sums of money and
all necessary arms and ammunition
to start a revolution in Mexico, but
the offer was rejected. Stokes says
the church party in Mexico will sup
port Diaz for the Presidency because
convinced he could restore order and
security.

WILLING TO HELP
Catch Chicken Thieves That Have
Been So Conspicuous Of Late.

We see a good deal about the
chicken business being commercial
lied and that Ohio county is coming
out strong as a producer and great
deal of money is being invested in
getting the best varieties. But there
seems to be one great difficulty in
making success of the business and
that is, the presence among us of
some well known chicken thieves.
These scoundrels have lately clean
en- out some fine flocks. Now, the
laws Of Kentucky are very strict in
dealing with this class of thieves, IL
they can be caught. Could not some
concerted action be taken to round
them up and put them in safekeep-
ing TO ra few years?

Ell Paso. April 12.-Masking his
trail with the deluding fiction spread
broadcast by Mexican poems that. he
had died Of wounds, Francisco villa
is thought by Mexican military Of
ficers in Juarez to be safely hidden
away today in the Sierra Madre
mountains, while the American cav
airy is pursuing rear guard band
OF Villa bandits whose strategy is to
beguile Villas pursuers away from
the hiding place of their chief. The
Mexican followers Of villa say It IL
a favorite trick Of the bandit leader
when the chase became to hot for
him to have story spread that he ID
dead, so that the ardor of his pur.
suers would be dampened.
An entirely new version of the
story Of Villas death was brought
here today by Mexican cattleman,
who claimed to have suffered a visi-
tation from band Of Villa followers
on his ranch near Bachiniba. This
man said that villa was neither dead
nor wounded, but that Pablo Lopez,
the bandits notorious lieutenant and
executioner-in-chief had died and
that Villa had deliberately used his
death as the basis of the story of his
own finish.
The cattleman told the following
story:
II was in Guerrero at the time VII.
la came there and afterwards when
the American soldiers arrived. I be-
lieved 1t was safe for me to return
to E.y ranch.
Last Thursday band of twenty
of Villas men rode up to the ranch
house. They took little grain that
bad and killed one of my cows and
had a great feast. They had several
bottles of liquor that they had se-
cured at Guerrero and Minaca and
got pretty drunk before they were
through.
They ridiculed the American sol.
diers and boosted about the way VII.
Ia had fooled the "Gringoes" by
sending guides to the American Of
dcers with stories Of different places
In which he was hiding. Then talked
about Lopez and said he was dying
md that as soon as he was dead the
iringoes would be told it was villa
Ind then they would alk go home.
"They did not say anything differ
mt about the whereabouts of the VIII
a bandits. but ! understood from
heir talk that he was far to the
South and that they were under or
lers to meet him somewhere near

The Mexican who told this story IL

strous one for the villages and the

orts received here. His men have
