FRUITS AND REAL
NUTS FEATURE OF
LATEST MILLINERY
Dillon's Spring Display En-
bodies Many Handsome
Partisan Models.

Garry your luncheon on your hat
might be the best advice for any
woman who wises to be up-to-the-
minute in the matter of headgear. The
new spring hats are trimmed with
raisins, and real nuts of many varie-
ties while any quantity of imitation
fruits, including apples, grapes, rasp-
berries, cherries and other species are
used to a, great extent.
E. H. Dillon & Co. held their an
nual spring millinery opening this
morning to the public of Bridgeport,
and perhaps never before have they
offered a more beautiful collection of
hats than today.
DiIlon's always features both i'm
ported and domestic hats and this
Paris have come several handsome
chapeaux, most of them of the close
fitting turban effect with high military
trimming.
Hats this year are either very small
or of the large sailor type. In the lat
ter style this prominent millinery store
is showing a number Of exquisite hats
made from Georgette crepe on sprung
wire brims. The hats come in all the
shades of this popular material and
are trimmed with fiat flowers.
All kinds of hair braids, lisere braid,
perOxoHne braid, and even braid made
from Angora wool, are being used.
Striped sailors are much in demand.
A handsome hat seen at Dillon's had a
top brim of black and white Jersey
silk with an underbrim of hemp.
The glazed trimmings are also much
in evidence in the spring millinery.
The most popular colors are the
shades of rose, the Pistachio green and
shades of blue, both the Huzzard and
midnight blue being used a great deal.
A visit to Di1lon's splendid establish
ment will be an education in the latest
hat styles to any woman.

of his examination but legally sane.
This examination was made Feb. 2S
last. He declared he found evidences
of chronic alcoholism in Haines and
this condition "made it advisable that
Haines should not be about" Haines
expressed decisions, the alienist stat
ed, and his judgment about certain
matters was faulty. The signs of
chronic alcoholism were sufficient to
have Haines committed as chronic
inebriate, the witness testified.
DR.. Diefendorf told the jury he had
written a number of text books on in
sanity and that since 1898 he had held
a professorship in Yale Medical school
where he lectured on insanity. The
trial was resumed this afternoon.

THREE HANGED
AND BURNED IN
RAID ON RANCH

Columbus, n. M, March 9.-Arth1r
Mckinney, foreman of the Pa1omas
ranch; William Corbett, and James
O'Neil, captured by Villa today were
hanged and their bodies burned, ac-
cording to information received here
today. The hanging occurred when
the bandits raided the cattle corral of
the Bosques ranch J. J. Moore, a
merchant on a ranch one mile west,
was killed.
A chauffeur, driving an automobile
with an Ell Paso license, name un-
known, was killed and his body
burned.
Information that Francisco Villa and
his chief lieutenant, Pablo Lopez,
were in personal command of the raid
was given Col. Slocum by a, Mexican
rancher captured by the bandits last
Sunday and who escaped during the
fighting. He told of the hanging of
the American ranc11ers, Mckinney,
Corbett and ONeil and declared that a,
fourth American, whose name he did
not know, had been hanged at the
same time. The Mexican informant
said Villa attacked with from 800 to
1000 men and a machine gun platoon.

tol was found upon the dead man.
Mrs. Diggs insists that she saw
Marshall with a revolver in his hand
when the struggle with Marshall first
began in the kitchen. This the accus-
ed man vehemently denied and none
of the with esses will coroborate Mrs.
Diggs' statement in this respect. Dur
ing the coroner's investigation Mrs.
Diggs cried when. Monteria's name was
mentioned.
Marshall, who is a smal1-sized, soft
spoken man, has told a straightforward
story of the shooting, which in the
main is verified by the statements of
other witnesses
A brother of the dead man called
at the coroner's office today to claim
the body, which is at Cu1linan & Null
Inns 1norgue. He said Monteria had
bank accounts at Boston and New
Bedford, where he formerly lived. He
said there was money enough to give
Monteria burial and he proposed to
bury the body here.
Coroner Phelan has ordered the body
held until Monteria's financial affairs
can be investigated and he may ask
Judge Miller of the probate court to
appoint an administrator.
