Late this afternoon excitement was
caused when Gen. George Bell, jr., sent
a detachment OF troops into the city,
where he placed them as "a precau-

arise among the large Mexican popula-
tion.
Cen Bells troop dispositions were
taken, he said, merely for precaution-

situation. il was deemed best TO leave
no stone unturned that might avert
trouble al this end of the international

had been present at each subsequent
meeting until today.
\ bout noon Subscretary Amador
called on Gen. Scott in his car and in
formed him that the Mexican conferees
objected 70 the presence of Mr.. Nc
Q ttluatters at another conference. He
asserted that Mr.. McQuatters had been
. former supporter of Huerta and later
of villa. that because of his mining
interests in Mexico he held interven-
ZIONIST tendencies, and that he had not
preserved secrecy regarding proceed
ings at previous conferences.
The discussion between Gen. Scott
and Secretary Amador appeared excit-
ing. as viewed through the car win
dows. Amador shook his finger ex-
citedly In Gen. Scott's face and Cen
Scott replied by waving paper he
held at the subsecretary. When the
Mexican official left IL was with the
impression that his objection had been
overruled But Mr.. McQuatters with

Many Look for a Break.

All day there was hint of war in
the atmosphere of FL Paso. Prior to
the conference the word went out. that
only one thing could prevent a break
between the United States and Mexico
complete reversal by Gen. Obregon of
the attitude he took at Mondays meet
ig with Gems. Scott and Funston, when
he declined TO sign the tentative agree
ment for Mexican and American troop
cooperation unless it was modified TO
set a date for American withdraW al
from Mexico. There were few optimists
TO point out that in the end the MeXi-
can minister of war must concede the
point of the United States A great
majority concluded that he was more
likely TO withdraw from the negotia-
tions.
Activities of the American military
men here added TO the apprehension. it
was learned. that messages had been
sent to Gen Pershing at the front warn
ing him TO prepare for any contingency.
All along the border the word had
gone out to the scattered detachments
of the American army patrol to be on
guard.
Gen. Cbregon went into the confer
ence announcing that he had new
proposal to make to the American
representatives.. He intended to ask,
he said, that a common border patrol
should be stretched along the border
American troops guarding the Mexican
side and Mexican troops patrolling the
American side. He is understood 10
have abandoned his proposal.

Thorpe Resigns
From Ministry

Rev. II. j. Thorpe, who has for
some years served as pastor of the
Lutheran church in this city as we'll
as at several other places in this
vicinity has rendered his resigna-
tion and expects to take few
months vacation. The necessity for
this action on the part Of Rev.
Thorpe will be greatly regretted by
his numerous friends in and about
Beach. However, on account of his
health having failed it is necessary
for him to refrain from work for
some time and he informs us that it
is his intention to spend the summer
at one of the lakes near Bemidii,
Minnesota. Later on he may go
west for a time. The family will in
all probably remain here until some
time in the spring. The best wishes
of the entire community will go with
them and it is sincerely hoped that
Rev. Thorpe may regain his former
health and be able at some future
time to resume his work in this COM
munity.

PuREBRED CATTLE

On Wednesday last, A. E. Kastien
of this city, received from the Dutch
Belted Cattle Association of Covert,
Michigan, pair of pure bred Dutch
Belted calves. The Dutch Belted
dairy cattle are attracting attention
everywhere, especially in the east
ern states. They are natives of Hol-
land and their breeding dates back
to the 18th century. A United States
Consul residing in Holland in 1888
was the first one to make an i'm
portation Of these c4stle to this.
country. = The. historian, Motley,
said of these cattle: "These are the
most wonderful cattle in the world.''
We learn from Mr.. Kastien that he
intends to stock his farms with pure
bred stock, and through long cor
respondence with dairymen who own
Dutch Belted cattle he became con-
vinced that these cattle lead in dairy
production over all other breeds.

The annual ball to be given by the

the benefit Of the library fund gives
promise of surprising all others
given in the past. The ladies are
going to a great deal Of trouble to
make it the biggest event Of its kind
Of the season and even those who
do not dance should buy ticket for
this occasion out of loyalty to the
cause. The hall will be decorated
with japanese decorations and the
effect produced will surely prove
very pretty. An orchestra Of state
wide reputation will furnish the
music and if you miss this annual
event you will surely regret it.
