CARRANzA men
FIGHTING VILLA
THE TROOPS OF MgxIco's FIRST
CHEF FORCE BANDIT LEAD
Err TO CLASH.
De FAcTo TROOPERS PUSHED
INTO JUAREz AFTER PERMIT
TING OUTLAWS TO PASS.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
FL Paso. Tex. March 22.-The forces
OF Col. Cano were engaged In battle at
1880 Monday afternoon with bandits
led by villa, In Numiquipa. according
to n dispatch received by Gen. Gavira,
Carranza commandant at Juarez
The result OF the fighting was not
decided at the time OF the receipt Of
the dispatch. NamiQuipa Is In the dis
trict OF Guerrero. state OF chihuahua
Col. Cano is In command OF q force
OF 900 cavalry and came in contact
two days ago at El Vale with Villistas
who fled without giving battle. a dis
patch from. San Antonio says Gen.
Funston announced the positions of
three columns OF the expeditionary
force as follows: The first moving
southwark from Casas Grandes toward
Babricora: the second moving south
east towards Ell Vale. and the third
towards Carmen.
villa was reported to have been de-
feated by Carranza troops at Cruces
and to he on his way north towards
Eel Vale.
A feature of the gravest importance
was injected into the border situation
by substantial confirmation of the nu'
merous reports received last week
that the Carranzistas not only were
failing to cooperate with the Ameri-
can troops but In certain instances at
least actually were withdrawing from
the field of operations. The Associ-
ated Press learned on unQuestionable
authority that the troops OF the dc
facto government which had been sta
toned at Casas Grandes have been
withdrawn and are now in and about
Juare4. From the same source 1t was
learned that ut least one detachment
of Carranza troops had refused to
iiIht villa and had withdrawn on the
bandits approach This detachment
withdrew on receipt OF a message that
lit was warning not on Mexicans bu:
the enemies OF Mexicans.
The extraordinary rapidly with
which the American cavalry pushed
into Mexico gave rise to high hopes
that the unexpected had happe ned aud
the notorious bandit was cornered.
This seemed inevitable, II the Carran-
81 soldiers did their part, and if the
account of the strength OF their field
forces was correct Villa, cut off from
the north by the forward sweep of the
American columns. from the west by
the Sierra Madras barring the ap-
proaches to the state OF Sonora, was
supposed to lie equally barred from
east and south by powerful Carranxa
forces,
The reason for the Carranza troops
moving to the border remains uneN-
planned. II is impossible even to make
fair estimate OF the number of men
under Gen. Gavira al Juars1. The
large staff at his headquarters and the
fact that new troops are arriving daily
indicate that his force is a large one
The most conservative estimate places
1t at 5000. and calculations range from
that point upward to 5000.

MASTER CHARLES
WESTON INJURED
Little Son of Mr. and Mrs. W. $
Weston is Victim of Painful
Accident.

Master Charles Weston, little son
of Mr.. and Mrs. wv. S. Weston, was
the victim of very painful acci-
dent about O'clock Saturday after
moon. He anak ak,apother little hoy
were crossing Wilson avenue at the
Louis Frank clothing store corner
and Charles, seeing heavy wagon
loaded with coal coming down the
street, waited for it to pass. The
other little fellow evidently thought
to pass in front of the team and
wagon and gave Charles push,
causing him to step directly in front
Of them. One wagon wheel passed
over Charles left foot. The unfor-
tunate lad, screaming and crying,
was taken into the Frank store and
later to DR.. Richardson's Office
where an X-ray picture was made
of the injury. There were no brok-
en- bones but the foot was badly
crushed. The lad is very lucky to
escape permanent injury. The boy
is resting comfortably at present.

REMEMBER THE
SOLDIER BOYS
Boys at Brownsville Will not Have
Home Cooking for Thanks.
giving Dinner.

In ten days Thanksgiving Day
will be here-and also on the bor-
der in Brownsville. The boys OF
Company c will have good dinner
and no doubt about that but it VIII
not be just the same as home cook
ing. Wouldn't it be good stunt for
everyone to send the soldier boys a
box of homemade. candy or home
made cookies?
The box may be made as large as
the giver can make and send, and 1t
would make the boys feel as if
someone in Webster City was taking
personal interest in them and
their welfare.
The Freeman-Tribune would like
to make a suggestion that every
woman who sent comfort kit to u
soldier boy last July, make box CT
homemade candy or cookies and send
to the same soldier for Thanksgiv-
ing day. The box should be mailed
here not later than next Saturday,
Nov. 25th, if it would be sure to
reach the boys by Thanksgiving day.
To make pound of candy or to take
a couple dozen cookies from the fam
lily baking is not very big thing to
do, but it is guaranteed to please a
soldier away down there in Texas.
We were especially requested not
to send the boys anything too rich
for their digestion, as was done dur
ing the Spanish-American war, but
a pound Of homemade candy never
killed anyone and would certainly
cheer. Anyone who has ever been
far from home or friends and has
received box of something good to
eat, marked with his own name and
plainly and Enthusiastically intended
for him, will understand that the
cheer is not given in the pound Of
candy alone, but in the spirit which
went with it.
There is plenty of time to make
the candy and get it mailed, either
by parcel post or by express, and the
address should be as follows:
John Brown, Company c, Second
Iowa Infantry, Brownsville, Texas.

BOYS BURGLAR|zE
THE c. F. GARDNER
HARDWARE STORE
Break Into Store and Take Knives,
Flashlights, Etc, Also
$14.50.

About a half dozen lads from fif-
teen years downwards in age, broke
into the rear end of the G. F. Card
ner hardware store Sunday night and
stole eight or ten pocket knives, four
or five flashlights, two razors and g.
glass cutter and took from the cash
register $14.50 in cash. They then
made their escape and the two eld-
est ones went to Fort Dodge for I
big time, returning on the late train
to this city.
The thievery was not discovered
until next morning upon opening up
the store and Mrs. Elmer Carlson,
who lives in the fiat above the store,
was able to give some light upon the
subject. She had heard noises about
the rear of the hardware store Sun
day afternoon about O'Clock and
going to the rear door of her hall
had seen and recognized three boys
who all ran and hid upon her ap-
proach Later she went down stairs
and asked them what they were do
ing about the store and ordered them
away. The robbery must have BEEN
done soon after dark for the older
lads left on the o'clock westbound
train for Fort Dodge.
The boys got into the store by re-
moving board in the glass door,
which had been placed in lieu of
broken pane, and reaching inside,
unbolted the door and thus gained
an entrance.
The officers took them yesterday
into custody and it has not
yet been determined what will be
done. This is one of the ,gravest
acts committed by boys in this COM
and will strike chill to the
hearts of parents. Such acts by
young boys are only the embryo of
hardened acts by criminals and prop
er and fitting punishment will be
given the offenders in this case, who
must only have reached this stage
a series of minor depreda-
tions. In consideration of the ex-
treme youth of the lads, their names
are withheld from publication.

RETURNED SOLDIERS
CREATE. A PROBLEM
Some of Them are Having Trouble
in Getting Jobs.-Is Causing
Some Apprehension.

Des Moines, Nov. 20.-The Cham
Der of Commerce and other civic or
ganizations are face to face with
another "war problem"
r. H. Faxon, general secretary ot
the Chamber, discovered this todaS
when two requests were made of him
for employment by men who had
served honorable terms in the Des
Moines organizations at Brownsville
and whose terms of service had ex.
|pired, with the result that they are
back home but without employment
When the men were mustered in.
to service two problems were laid
upon the community, according tC
the conception of the commercial or
|ganizations. The Chamber of Com
merce and the Greater Des Moincs
committee promptly accepted the
most urgent-that Of caring for the
relatives of those left without means
|of livelihood when the national
guard was called out. Several hun
dred dollars have been paid out from
the fund raised by the Chamber and
other organizations.
Now comes the employment prob
lem. Many men left good positions
when the call to arms came. Some
companies will take their men back,
but other concerns have filled the
places.
II am afraid that this is going to
prove harder problem to solve
than that of providing for destitute
families of guardsmen," said Mr.
Faxon today. There is one man
who was in the insurance business
when the call to arms came. He is
"a comparatively young man, clean
and capable. He is, at the head OF
one of our patriotic organizations.
He has served honorably for three
years in the national guard and is
now home from Brownsville. His
business, however. has been disor-
ganized during his absence and he
has applied to us for assistance.
There are many similar cases."
Chicago and other cities are TAX
ing up the problem through their
commercial organizations and from,
all appearances Des Moines will d.
the same thing.
