PROPERTY OWNERS
PROTEST OPENING
OF SOUTH G. Street

Nine property owners on South
Fifth street between Main and
streets have indicated that they would
prefer not to have bridge construct
ed across the river at South G street
if the plan of the board Of works is
carried out, to assess exclusively
South Fifth street properties for the
opening and extension of South G
street from South Fifth street to the
west corporation line.
These property owners filed sepa-
rate remonstrances against the
boards resolution providing assess
ments for the improvement. The re-
monstraters. are: Ida A. Heidelman.
Anton Hursting estate, Belle G. Wal
lace, Walter Raukoff, Oscar Smith,
Henry Rothert, Mary Epping estate,

action which may result in an appeal
of the boards action to the circuit

added to the anxiety of the Carranza
leaders in the city just across the Rio
Grande. Mounted couriers brought the
last reports.
Villas latest outbreak comes al a
time extremely embarra ssing to the
Carranza government. as Villas activ-
tiles Enthusiastically do. In official
reports the CarranZistas have endeav-
ored TO prove TO the United States that
Villa was dead and that his outlaws
were dispersed. Upon this Carranza
based his demands for tn withdrawal
of the punitive expedition.
Diplomacy Succeeds.
The diplomacy of CarrahZa has sue
ceeded well. According to the infor-
nation General Pershing's expedition
ary force was about TO return-in fact
