sary in the operation of the selection

Under government operation of the
railroads it is expected also that the
men will be moved to camps more
promptly and with less confusion than
before.
Meantime, the draft machinery is pre-

Raiding MeXiCans from Villas
Forces Are Given Lesson
They VIII Remember

Candelaria, Texas, Dec. 28.-The Am
erican cavalry which pursued bandit
raiders into Mexico under Captain Fisk
is today en- route to Marie, Texas, with
several bandit prisoners and practically
all the loot taken in raids on the Brits
and Fitzgerald ranches, according to
word received here today.
The United States troops engaged in
a running fight with the bandits kill
ing about fifty and wounding many
others. The bandit gang, badly scatter
ed, fled southwark.
Documents found on the dead estab-
lished that the bandits were part of the
force of Villistas which captured and
later evacuated Ojinaga. Several were
identified as deserters from the Car
rama army.
The stolen cattle, horses and merchan-
disc valued at $1,000, which the bandits
took in the two raids in this vicinity,
was virtually all recovered by the Am.

BIG BARN is BURNED
BY INCENDIARIES AND
ARSON GANG SUSPECTED
MIR. Omart, Lessee Of FrOmm
Place, Is Heavy Loser In
Personal Property

Fire last night about IL o'clock de-
stroycd the big new barn on the @. H.
Fromm Tlace near the Institute for the
Feeble Minded. The farm is rented by
Mr.. Roy Omart, Mr.. Fromm being in
Canada. Mr.. Omart says the first init
nation any of them had of the fire
was wnen the roof fell in with crash
awakening everybody in the house. That
the fire was of incendiary origin he
feels certain, for there was no possible
way in which it could have caught fire
accidentally. The Ford car which was
in the barn had not been used since
Christmas and there were no lights used
about the building. The barn was 40
by 90 feet, practically new, cost about
81 200 and was insured for half that
sum. Besides the barn all the contents
were consumed. Among these were two
horses, three COWS, two calves, a Ford
auto, tons of hay three tons of straw
80 bushels of potatoes, half a ton of
feed, wagons, buggies, and farm imple-
ments. The loss totals about $2,400, half
of it being in the personal property
destroyed and on which there was no
insurance. 1t is possible this is the work
of the gang that caused the Carlton fire
as the barn is convenient to the road
and would be easily set on fire by any
one passing. However that may be, it is
evident that property owners must keep
a close watch on their premises until
some of the arson gang are rounded up.
