American cavalrymen, according to
the story, after snipers, who have
menaced American columns, had been
traced to the village.
Given an army mess kit at meal
time, the presidente seized a small
sharp knife, and, barring his breast,
folded his arms and pressed the knife
underneath them into his heart be-
fore his guards could stop him. Mean
while, the other hostage attempted to
escape and was shot so seriously that
he died shortly afterward,
Shippers Are Active.
Shippers have been particularly &C
between Namiquipa and Ell Vale, al
though few of their bullets found
their marks, the American said. The
military authorities served warning
on the jefes of some of the communi-
ties that summary action would fol-
low further activity. When the warn
ing was disregarded, two men were
taken from village, which the ranch
man said was Las Cruces, to be held
as hostages pending against a repeti-
ton of the offense.
The ranchman also said that Major
Frank Tomkins, who suffered a flesh
wound in the right breast at Parral,
is rapidly recovering, as is Lieuten-
ant James Ord, who was shot through
the left ear.

The only activity reported from the
| front today were renewed efforts to
exterminate the scattered bands OF

in the American operations, appar-
emily have become more daring in

lumbus and the military reservation
here found on the body of a Mexican
| killed in sortie across the frontier
following the raid just has been
brought to light, according to a story
brought to the border today. The
map, according to the story. showed
the roads leading into Columbus and
the location of the principal business
houses and designated homes of var
ious officers Of the American COM
mand.
Only meagre conflicting reports
seeped across the border today. but
/ these agreed that the inactivity of the
American troops in the field contin-
ued. At the base camp, concentration
OF supplies and troops continued, al
though numerous rumors were cur
rent that plans are under way for the
transfer Of the base to some other
point eastward along the border.

T0CET CONTRACT.
Local Concern VIII Be Awarded Work
For Providing and Installing
Rock Island Street Signs.
WILL NEED 100 IRON UPRIGHTS
At 400 Corners Only Bracket and
Markers Will Be Needed, as Posts
Are at Present Located.

Close figuring on the part of
the Rock Island municipal commits
sion as to the needs of the city for the
new street signs today determined
which Of two local firms had the low
est bid
After consideration of the proposals
it was announced that the commission
practically had decided to award the
contract to the Rock Island Advertis-
ing Pencil company The Electric
Machinery & Construction company's
offer practically was identical with
that of the successful bidder, save in
price of posts, of which there will be
100 installed.
The commission figured that there
are 400 corners in Rock Island where
there are at present either iron or
wood posts to which brackets may be
attached, and thus the city would not
be compelled to purchase uprights for
the signs on these corners. There
are 100 corners where iron posts will
be needed.
According to the figures Of the COM
mission. by accepting the bid of the
pencil! company, it is receiving the
signs $3.50 cheaper than the price Of
ferad by the Electric Machinery &
Construction company. The pencil
companys bid will amount to S1,460
and the other concern 1880 The bids
Of the Tri-City Number company and
Of Burdick & Co. of Chicago were not
considered, as both were higher than
those Of the local concerns.
