CHARITY BALL
 TO BE NOTABLE

Taking precedence over any social event of the year, the fourth annual charity ball, to be given by the board of visitors of St. Luke's Home at the Woman's club tomorrow evening, is being anticipated with unusual pleasure by the fashionable ser.
 Mrs. Gordon Tweed has received scores of responses indicating a smart attendance. She stated last evening that any strangers in the city who might wish to attend the function tion should notify her either by tele- phon or by note.
 The event will unquestionably be delightful in every detail as it has been carefully planned by Mrs. W. G. Hartranft who has had charge of the past charity balls. Donald Dunbar will be master of ceremonies.
 The affair is being given for the benefit of St. Luke's Home. one of the most worthy of local charities and as such it is being staunchly supported by those who have been active in all worthy couses of the war year.

They barely escaped but got into the ranch house where the minister seized a rifle and guarded a window with the other Americans.
 At this time the United States mail stage from Valentine drove up to the Brite store carrying Christmas pack ages for the United States soldiers stationed at Candelaria. The two Mexican passengers were murdered before they could get out of the stage. Michael Welch was taken from the stage, hanged and his throat cut in the door of the Brite store.
 T. T. Cobb, a ranch hand employed on the Brite ranch, approached the store during the footing but was warned by Foreman Guyon. who was barricaded in his house 100 yards away. Cobb, realizing what had hap pened, rode 12 miles to the nearest telephone and gave the alarm as all other telephone lines had been cut by the bandits. Sheriff Cline and a posse started in pursuit of the bandits. They found Welch's body hanging in the store doorway and the nude bodies of
