Ell PASO, Tex, March 12-Ffve hun
dred Mormon colonists in the Casas
Lrande district, in Mexico, are menac-
ed today by the reported presence of
Francisco Villa and his bandits at La
Ascension, close to the railroad over
NJ hich these colonists must travel be,
fcre reaching the American border.
Much fear for their safety is entertain
e3, as it is practically certain all of
them will be massacred unless Villa
is forced to abandon his present posi-
ton.
Hope for the escape of these colon
lists, nearly all of whom are Americans,
is based upon the unverifed rumor that
Villa and his men are already short
OF ammunition. Communication with
THE Mormons had not been interrupted
at noone today when a message from
Casas Grande stated preparations
for hurried dash toward the border
were under way.

ACKNOWLEDGES CANE.
David Hale Tanning Appreciates Gift
of. School Children.

Francis Y. Brown has received a let
ter from David Hale Tanning of Wor-
cester thanking the school children for
the gift of the cane recently sent him.
Master Brown was the boy selected to
write the letter. Following is a copy
of the letter:
Worcester, Mass, Jan. 5, 1915.
Francis Y. Brown. Jewett City, Conn:
My Dear Young Sir:
I am in receipt of your very welcome
letter of Jan. 1st telling me of the
beautiful and appropriate gift OF a
cane. presented by the pupils of the
.Jewett City school. and I want to thank
them all very cordially for their kind
ness in remembering me at this time.
I shall treasure this gift as long as
live.
The fact that the cane was made
from lumber taken from the old Con-
gregational church, which lumber was
part of a cargo which Charles flaming
ran the blockade with, in New London
harbor in 1872, makes it doubly inter-
esting and valuable to me. l attended
the old Congregational church in Jew
EFT City, and remember Charles Fam
ming very well, being about years old
at that time.
desire to thank you, also, for the
beautiful piece of bamboo which came
with the cane, and which is one Of the
finest pieces have ever seen.
Yours cordially,
