 BORDER SOON
Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 20 Although no formal orders for the evacuation of Mexican soil by the troops of Major General John J. Per. hing have as yet been issued, it is expected that the withdrawal of the vXpedittonary force will be commenced during the coming week General Pershjns held final review of the southernmost contingent of his troops at Fl Valle yesterday, pre-. paratory to it's withdrawal to the main encampment at Colonia Dublan.
 It will require at least four days for this detachment to reach head. quarters at Dublan. The actual move. ment of all of the troops toward the border will not start until later. It will be necessary that the baggage and supplies be brought out on mo- tor truck, which have already left Columbus, New Mexico, for the south. It i, estimated that at least two weeks will be required to move all of the troops to the border
 It is expected that the national guardsmcn now doing duty on the border will be returned home as fast as units of the regulars arrive from Mexico to replace them. In fact, the secretary of war has al ready announced that a number of units of the national guard are soon to be relieved.
 It is authoritatiyely stated that the administration will hold Car ranza responsible for the occupa- ton of the territory which is to be evacuated by Pershing, with Car ranza troop' and will demand that he suppress and keep down all Villa activities in that section.

MISSING NAN
 $ LOCATED IN
 THE BIC CHENA

Sam MedenicCi, the man who was reported missing from Dome several days ago. has been seen on the Big Cinema river above the middle fork. According to reports brought to town from that country by recent ar rivals, the man is thought to be men tally unbalanced. After leaving Dome he showed up at the Big Cinema Hot Springs. remained there a few days, borrowed q rifle, and dropped over into the upper Big Cinema country.
 He next showed up at Van Curl CTS place on the middle fork of the Cinema river. He remained there two days and nights, during which time he never was out of arms reach of his gun. sleeping on it at night. From the Van Curriers' he obtained matches and an axe and dropped out of sight again.
 He is reported to have next visit ed Joe Chesna's tent, about thirty five miles above the middle fork and took two days grub that Chesna had cached there. From there he went on toward the head of the Big Cinema river. His actions have creat- ed considerable excitement in that section of the country, and the opini- on of all the people up there is that he is undoubtedly crazy, and they fear that he may injure some one, as he is well supplied with ammunition for the rifle that he has with him.
 He is said to be absolutely with out blankets or grub of any kind and is picking up very precarious living off the country.
 Several days ago Mike Rakocayich, a brother-in-law of Medenicci, came to Fairbanks from the Toloyana coun- try, and went to the Cinema Hot Springs in search of the man, but was unable to locate him.

LATER REPORTS.

LONDON, Jan. 20.-The death role as the result of the munition fac tory explosion yesterday now num- bers between fifty and sixty. TWen- ty-one persons died today in the variou, hospitals to which the in jured were removed after the explo- sion, while one hundred and twelve more are receiving treatment. Two hundred and sixty-five other persons received lighter injuries, which were serious enough, however, to necessi- tate treatment.
 The governments official statement says that the factory which was de stroyed is located east of London. The failure to identify the location leads to the belief that the explosion took plac eat the great Woolwich arsenal, which lies about seven miles east of London on the Thames river. About 6700O people were em- ployed there in the manufacture of munitions.
 The minister of munitions for the government has issued a statement to the effect that the disaster will not materially affect the manufac- ture of munitions.

[. 5. kNUTSON
 E ARRESTED IN
 CHARGE OF RAPE

Charles $. knutson, q well known citizen of Fairbanks, was yesterday arrested on a charge of rape. Lila Links, daughter of William Links. also well known here is the alleged victim. On d complaint sworn to by MT. Links, Vance Mcdonald, com missioner at Long creek, in the Ruby district, issued the warrant, which was telegraphed to the United States marshars office in Fairbanks and forwarded to Hot Springs for service, as Mr Knutson is in that district at the present time. He was arrested at Boulder creek yes terday morning, and will be taken to Long for a preliminary hearing before Commissioner Mcdonald. If the commissioner considers the eyi- dcnce sufficient, he will probably hold the accused man without bah for the grand jury, for, according to the law, this offense is not bailable
 The complaint states that Lila Links, fourteenyearold girl, while residing at the home of Knutson, was wronged by the accused. This is alleged to have taken place last summer while the parents of the girl were on the lower Yukon river near Ruby. It is said that the prose cution will attempt to prove three separate acts on the part of the accused man, which are alleged to have occurred in May, June and July of last year.
 According to the physician who examined the girl, she will become a mother in about a month at which time she will not be over fifteen years of age.
 It is not known at present where and when the trial will be held if Knutson is held for the grand jury and indicted by it, but probably at Ruby during the summer session of the next meeting of court. If tried and found guilty, he is liable to a sentence of from three to twenty years in the federal penitentiary.
 The accused man, whose family lives in Fairbanks at the present time, is an oldtimer of the country, and has been a resident of Fair banks for many years. He was for merly employed as guard in the local federal jail.

THE CASE IN BRIEF.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 15.-, In the socalled railway mail pay divisor cases, the Chicago and Alton and Yazoo and Mississippi Valley railroads instituted proceedings in the court of claims on which 800 other railroads relied to determine claims of between S270O0,O0O and S35,OOO00O for additional compensa- tion for mail transportation between 1907 and 1911 The Chicago and Alton claimed $116,50O. and the Va zoo & Mississippi Valley s26,SOO. Both suits were dismissed by the court of claims.
 Since the litigation arose, follow Ing years of dispute between con- gross and the post office depart ment with the railroads over the basis of railway mail pay, congress reorganized the system by recently substituting the car space" system for the weight computation plan.
