THREE AMERICANS MURDERED
BY MEXICAN BANDITS AFTER
RAID ON AMERICAN RANCHERs

Three American cowboys, living on
the Corner ranch south of Hachita, N.
NJ, were taken prisoners and afterward
killed and their bodies mutilated by
Mexican bandits who on Tuesday raid
ed the ranch and seized number of
ranch hands and drove off the live
stock. The bodies of the Americans
were found on Mexican territory after
a two days search.
The raid was committed by Villa fol-
lowers, operating under direction of
Salazar, who is reported to be threat
ening further raids on American ter
ritory
The fate of the three Americans, An
drew Peterson, Hugh Accord and Bur-
ten Jensen was discovered by Lem
Spilsbury, the Mormon scout, who
trailed the Mexican bandits west of the
Corner ranch to the place the bodies
were found
The bodies, stripped of their clothing,
lay ABOUT fifty feet apart on the Mex
lean side of the boundary, where the
captives had been taken to be killed
Each had been shot by rifle and pistol
many times in the head. In addition
to mutilation by bullet wounds and
powder burns, the head of Accord had
been hacked beyond recognition with
a hatchet.
Were Surprised
The three cowboys had been out only
a few days, rounding up stray Amer
lean cattle along the border, when they
ran into the raiders. Peterson was the
eldest. He was SS years old, with a
wife and several children. Jensen, 80,
was also married, with two children.
Accord was only % years old.
The circumstances of the encounter
have not yet beenS established. The six
Mexicans on the ranch left with the
band. The room they occupied showed
signs of an encounter, being ransacked
and overturned. Other facts estab-
lished was that a friend of the mur-
dered men reported seeing the band
cross just after patrol from the
Twelfth United States Cavalry had
gone by, and that a negro from Ojitos,
Mexico, arrived with an account of
meeting the bandits, who were under
Prudencio Miranda, and learning from
them that they had killed three Amer
lean cowboys as they said, in a fight.
The cowboys were Mormon refugees
from Mexico.

A CRY FEDERATION OF BODIES
BEING CONSIDERED.

After an enjoyable supper at the
~. M G. A. on Tuesday evening, rep
of the Mems Bible
classes identified with the various
churches of Oska1oosa, met in the
assembly room for the purpose of
hearing State Sunday School Score
tary W. ID. Stem of Des Monies
speak ON s'Men's Work for Men,"
Secretary Stem has for years been
Identified with the interests OF men
particularly in the Adult Bible Glass
work and has been the means OF
aiding in the organization OF hum
dreds Of city Bible Glass declarations
in various parts of the country,
With the increasing interest in
adult work in Oskaloosa, the ques-
tion of a City Federation has been
considered for several years and
Rev. c.. ID. LoelIr has addressed sew
oral audiences and mems classes
which have been brought together
TO consider the matter In his talk
Secretary Stem gave an outline his
tory of the adult movement and how
mems classes were first organized
and then as the needs of the work
developed how they have gradually
reached out for larger things. The
idea in general is to put the church
Bible classes in an organized form,
so that systematic campaign can be
conducted so that all classes of men
in Oskaloosa can be reached with an
invitation to join some organized
class and so bring the men and
Gods Word together for the purpose
of intelligent study as we'll as the
fellowship of the class life. M
After the address and the general
discussion of the idea, a motion pre-
vailed that a Federation of this
character be started in Oskaloosa
and the idea givep a trial in a sixty
days campaign and then il the plan
seemed advisable to make the organ
ization permanent A special com
mittee was appointed, comprising
Rev. G. ID. Loehr, d. Williams and
Walter |. Rice. for the purpose OF
selecting a general chairman and a
vice chairman, and to further COM
plete the organization. G. X. ID.
Kramer, Jr., of the Y M. c.. A., was
er t,ted secretary and H. d. Lane
was chosen treasurer. Added to
these officers each church will have a
representative and both the officers
and the Representatives will form the
executive committee for the carry
ing on of the work. .

ASK SUPREME COURT MEMBER
Several Democrats Mentioned as Pos
IN sble Successor to Judge
3. Deemer.

Des Moines, Feb. IS. - kilograms
from all portions of the state are be-
ing received by Governor Harding urg-
ing various candidates for appoint
mcnt to succeed Judge II. Z. Deemer.
Democrats from the eastern part of
the state are showing activity in be.
half OF Judge William Theophilus of
Davenport, and strong pressure is eX'
Dccted to be brought to- bear for the
appointment of democrat for the
place. The senate is not called upon to
confirm this appointment. '
The senate last week refused 10 re.
peal the nonpartisan judiciary law,
and the argument is brought forward
by the democrats that the court
SHOULD be made non partisan in fact
az well as name.
! Two other democrats are mentioned
in connection with the appointment
One is Judge w. G. Sears of Sioux City
and the other is Judge Hubert Utter
back of Des Moines. an
Judge Sears is considered hardly
likely to receive great consideration,
as northwestern Iowa already has a
strong representation on the bench.
Geographically, strong pressure is
being brought to bear for the appoint
ment of a candidate either from the
eastern or southwestern district of the
state, neither of which divisions have
a supreme pudge at the present time.
Des Moines will also be in a position
to demand consideration, as there has
been no judge on the bench from this
city since the death of Charles A.
Biehop Among the Des Moines men
already mentioned are Hugh Brennan,
Jesse A. Miller and ]. c. Hume.
Charles G.. Saunders of Council
Bluffs, former state senator, is regard
ell as a strong candidate, and Charles
W. Vermillion of Centerville is anoth-
err man who may be in the running.
The appointment is expected to be
made without great delay. The court
meets March 6, and the section in
which Judge Deener sat will meet
March 13..The appointment is expect
ed TO be made before that time
Democrats also are interested in
two other appointments which the gov
ernor win be called upon to make
within a short time. The successor of
James H. Mcconlogue as a member of
the board OF control must be demo-
crat, under the law, as must also the
successor of John e. Howe OF Adair
as member OF the board of parole.
Mr. Howe has been in i'll health. and
Ii understood not 10 be an applicant

The parole board position Is to be
awarded to-a representatives of the

It's N0t0AFING JOB
COUNTY. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF
\ IOWA WERE NEVER Buster.
Educational interests Of the State
Have Advanced Wonderfully in
Past Few Years-Eo Backward
3. Step To Be Taken.

A report has beea given wide cir
iculation that the method of grading
and issuing teachers certificates by
the State Board of Educational Elk
aminers in Iowa is costing the State
about $4,000 biennially, and that
the taxpayers are paying the bills.
This" is incorrect There is not
penny of expense to the State. No
appropriations are made for this
purpose, consequently the taxpayers
are not contributing a cent to the
state teachers examination fund.
Fifty cents Of the examination fee
paid by each applicant for a uniform
county certificate is sent to the state
for the purpose of paying the ex-
penses of grading papers. Fifty
cents of this fee remains in the coun-
ty and is placed in the institute fund.
The fees for state certificates and life
valuation of certificates are sent to
the state and become a part of the
state fund used for the purpose of
grading papers. There is now about
$500 balance in the hands of the
State Treasurer in the examination
fund. All orders drawn on this
fund are passed on by the State Aud
iting Board.
Iowa has AN ideal system OF certif-
cation of teachers, free from local
prejudices and influences and is gen
orally satisfactory. Nearly all of the
states surrounding Iowa have adopt
ed the plan of grading teachers GER
tifcates by the State, the same is
now being done in Iowa. Such Ger
tificates are valid anywhere in the
state and are recognized in other
states. CertificateV graded and is
sued by County superintendent in
other states are not where recognized
outside of the state for which ise-
sued. @
The expense to teachers has been
reduced to the minimum All in
stitute enrolment fees and certifi--
cate registration fees have been
abolished. All certificates above
third grade uniform county certifi-
cate in Iowa are practically perma-
.nent and have some professional
value. Better to have one standard
for all certificates in the state than
to have as many different standards
as there are counties in the state.
Those who think the County Sup
erintendents have nothing to do are
very much mistaken. The County
Superintendent in Iowa were never
buster and accomplishing more for
the good of the schools of the state
than at the present time. The
problem of supervision of the schools
OF county is a difficult one. The
real service of the County Superin-
tendent lies in the field of supervis-
ion.
Educational interests in the state
have advanced wonderfully during
the past few years and no backward
steps should be taken. Educational
standards and advancement in Iowa
are attracting the attention OF other
states. Whatever changes are made
in our school laws should be con-
structive rather than along the line
of tearing down and returning to
conditions as they existed twenty
FIVE or thirty years ago.
